Players can expect features like brand new enemies, map tasks, scarce light sources, howling winds, and enemies waiting at every dark corner. This new night-time setting will prove to be a true testament of courage and bravado for players who dare to venture out during Operation Blackout.

Visibility will be extremely low and the field of view restricted, which aims to encourage players to equip the brand new NVD gears that are being introduced with Season Eclipse Vigil.

Additionally, the Warfare game mode will receive a new dusk-themed variant of the Trench Lines map, which will debut alongside a new NVD gadget equippable via Match score points.

Operation Blackout is going to present a serious challenge, especially due to the light-devoid nature of the new Zero Dam - Night map. In order to tackle these visual obstacles, players will receive brand new NVDs (Night Vision Devices) that can be equipped as a helmet.
