Inspired by the Multiplayer mode Hardpoint, the new Lockdown mode is coming to Vondel in Warzone 2 and it tasks multiple Quads to capture and hold zones around the map rather than being the last one standing.
This is perfect for those who enjoy objective-based gameplay and even allows you to choose your custom ideal loadout at the beginning of a match.
Vengeance Icon
Warzone 2's Resurgence mode will introduce a new mechanic in Season 4, the Vengeance Icon. This new core feature provides players with an icon that indicates the direction of the opponent that eliminated their squadmate.
It's worth noting that this only showcases the direction of the enemy, not their exact location. However, that's certainly enough to hunt them and down and seek revenge.
Dynamic Resurgence Timers
Dynamic Resurgence Timers are new quality-of-life feature that automatically adjusts a squad’s timers should one or multiple squad members disconnect.
Should those squad members rejoin, the Resurgence timers revert back to their 'normal' countdowns.
