Plunder in Al Mazrah

The classic mode from Warzone 1 has made its return to Al Mazrah with unique challenges and public events. Players can grab their cash and become the king of Warzone 2. Here is everything you need to know about the Plunder mode in the game.

Infil with your Loadout

• Drop into Al Mazrah with 120 players, your personal loadout, and no gas on the map. Change your loadout for your next respawn in the pause menu.

Respawns

• Speaking of respawns, any player killed during Plunder drops a portion of their unbanked cash. Grab the spoils of your kills, but don’t fret too much if you lose a skirmish, you can attempt to get your revenge when you respawn after a short wait.

Save Your Cash

• Don’t want to lose your hard-earned money when you die? Hit up deposit stations scattered across the map to bank your cash and keep it no matter what.
• You can also find or purchase cash deposit balloons to bank up to 300K. Nice!

Hot Drop

• Get a headstart on the competition by landing at Abandoned Supply Caches or Strongholds, which each have a single big-money-chest. These hot-drop spots are marked on the tac map during infil in Warzone 2.

Valuables

• Valuables now also spawn in loot across the map. Grab as much high-value stuff as you can to sell at Buy Stations for more cash.

New Public Events

• Plunder features a variety of new and returning public events for opportunities to earn big cash payouts:

Cash Drop

• Look to the skies for parachuting in supply boxes filled with cash.

Contractor

• All contracts earn double the cash reward for a short time in Warzone 2.

Blood Money

• Earn double the cash reward for killing other players for a limited time.

Choke Hold

• Match going a bit long? The Choke Hold event triggers a gas circle in some long-lasting matches.

Attack Choppers

• Triggered during Overtime, these choppers are dangerous but also make for great targets. Take down a chopper, and it’ll drop a big payout.

New Stuff to Buy

• Purchase Life Insurance at the buy station to lose less unbanked cash when you die. Or grab a Discount Card to pay less for later purchases.

Overtime

• The first team to collect $2 million in cash triggers Overtime for all teams. In Overtime, all grabbed cash is worth double. The team with the most cash at the end of Overtime wins the match!

Plunder Challenges

• Plunder has a set of unique challenges and rewards to earn in Warzone 2!
