After the popular Halloween event, a brand new Outbreak event offers exclusive rewards for completing specific challenges. The fun doesn’t just stop there. We have new operators, new weapons, a brand new first-ever reactive weapon blueprint, and many new items in the new battle pass.
Outbreak Event
The new Outbreak event introduced in Warzone runs in-line with the new zombies game mode for Cold War. It offers exclusive rewards for completing specific challenges in both Warzone and the actual Outbreak game mode in Cold War. In Warzone, there is a brand new area added to the shores of Verdansk called ‘Shipwreck,’ where you will find a huge ship stranded by the shore.
This ship is supposedly from the infamous Rebirth Island and was headed for Verdansk. It is an attempt to tie the two universes (Black Ops & Modern Warfare) together. Inside, you will find the same trial computer you find in the regular Cold War zombies mode. This was also accidentally found in-game ahead of time just a few days before Season 2 was released. Activating the machine releases a bunch of zombies that you must kill for a guaranteed reward. Although the new Shipwreck is here to stay, the Outbreak even is here for a limited time.
New Operators
There are two brand new Operators added in the game, both of which come directly from the Cold War - NAGA and Samantha Maxis. The veteran zombies player will definitely be familiar with Samantha Maxis’s name, and now she is here as a playable character. Who would have thought?

New Weapons
There are two brand new weapons added to the arsenal of Warzone coming straight from Black Ops Cold War. The two weapons are FARA 83 (Assault Rifle) and LC10 (SMG). Both these weapons are acquired for free as you level up your Battle Pass. You do not need the premium version of the Battle Pass to get these weapons. The FARA 83 and LC10 unlock at Battle Pass tier level 15 and 31, respectively.

New Reactive Weapon Blueprint
For the first time, we have a new reactive weapon blueprint in Warzone. This weapon is originally introduced in Black Ops Cold War but will be usable in Warzone as well, thanks to the Black Ops Cold War and Warzone integration.
The new reactive weapon blueprint is called the ‘Vulture Exo’ blueprint for FARA 83 assault rifle. You will need to buy the Battle Pass to acquire this blueprint, though. The blueprint unlocks at Battle Pass tier level 95.
This ultra-rarity weapon changes its colors as you get kills in-game. The weapon pulsates green energy by default, and the color shifts from blue to orange and finally red, indicating how much of a “hot hand” you have in the game.
