If you’ve ever felt like theCall of Duty: Warzonebattle royale experience was a little too sweaty for your liking, you’re likely not alone, and season three ofBlack Ops 6has something just for you.
The long-awaited return ofWarzone’soriginal map, Verdansk, is set to bring many new and returning players into the fold, and for those who are afraid of being rusty or just want to practice, Battle Royale Casual mode sounds perfect.
“Whether you’re warming up, want a Battle Royale match that isn’t quite as intense as facing off against 149 human opponents, or need to build up your confidence, Battle Royale Casual is likely the game mode for you,” Activision said. “Expect the same rules set as BR, and up to 27 other players dropping in with you, but the majority of your opponents will be computer-controlled Bots, who may – or may not – be experiencing skill issues of varying severity.”
So out of 148 players, the game will launch with up to 120 bots, meaning most of the enemies you come across will be easy pickings for killing and looting. But beware, up to 27 other players will be real and looking to farm you all the same.
For those who are worried about the “pure”Warzoneexperience being ruined by this, don’t. The mode is similar toWarzoneBootcamp in that “game progression is limited in this mode and results will not count towards or against your stats.” It’s truly the most Casual thatWarzonecan feel.
I’ll probably be trying out the mode myself to re-familiarize myself with Warzone, its new movement style, and new weapons, along with the first time I’ve played Verdansk in several years. Will I play much after that? Probably not, but the fact that the option is there for players who want it can only be considered a positive.
Warzonewill go offline for 24 hours at 12pm ET on April 2 to return with Verdansk and everything that comes with it on April 3 at the same time.
