A guide to the battle of Verdansk — the Call of Duty®: Warzone™ reveal event for Call of Duty®: Vanguard

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The annihilator of armies is on a collision course with the Kastovian’s capital city, and it will take Operators from all fronts to rise together and end its plot of complete destruction.

A sight unseen on the Eurasian continent since World War II, this armored train could level Verdansk with its row of powerful tank turrets. The Operators set their charges to stop this monstrosity before it seizes the city, but fate prevails: the engine fires up, and the wheels are set into motion toward the Verdansk Train Station.

Amid the chaos, intel suggests that hostile bombers are flying in formation only a few klicks away from the city; despite this, every Operator must keep calm and carry the city on their shoulders, using everything they have to destroy this steamrolling death machine.

And no matter how this mission ends, it will forever be known as the Battle of Verdansk.

This limited-time experience is only available from now until August 23 at 10:30 AM PT, and there are plenty of rewards for participating and mastering this unique Quads-based experience, the first-ever “PvE” (Player Vs. Environment) mode for Call of Duty: Warzone.

Here’s what you need to know about the Battle of Verdansk, including the studio behind it:

Battle of Verdansk — Developed by Beenox

WarzoneTM’s lead studio, Raven Software, is not the only contributor to this massive free-to-play combat experience. When it comes to cultivating a community of over 100 million accounts across Verdansk and Rebirth Island, numerous studios play a critical part in its constant development.

Beenox, known for developing Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War on PC and Rebirth Island in Warzone, is the frontline developer who led the creation of the Battle of Verdansk. In partnership in Warzone's lead studio Raven Software, Beenox built this highly explosive limited-time game event to introduce Call of Duty: Vanguard’s worldwide reveal trailer.

“One of Beenox’s core values is Teamwork,” said François Taddei, Design Director at Beenox who led the creation of the Battle of Verdansk. “When we started working on the idea of how to reveal Vanguard, we did it as a team 100% of the way. It was critical to maintain an aligned vision between everyone involved, so we held constant reviews and play sessions to allow everyone in the Warzone group to share their feedback with us. It was an amazing creative process to receive feedback from multiple perspectives, not only from our own developers, but also from all developers working in Warzone and Vanguard.”

Battle of Verdansk — When to Play and What to Expect

The Battle of Verdansk kicked off with its time in the spotlight earlier today on August 19 with no other playlist being available, bringing the entire Warzone community together for Vanguard’s reveal.

If you missed this initial deployment, keep calm: the event will be live in a dedicated Warzone playlist from now until August 23 at 10:30 AM PT.

Now, let’s carry on with our mission to save Verdansk.

Pregame Preparation and Loadout

In the Battle of Verdansk, eight different Quads fight together to defeat a death machine forged from the past. While Operators have plenty of modern weaponry at their disposal, do not discount this behemoth for its age; its turrets are deadly enough to eliminate combatants with ease and will quickly demolish any vehicle or Operator that dares stand in its way. And as it barrels towards the Train Station, its allies will call in cluster strikes for cover fire, making it harder for Operators to fire their armaments under constant pressure.

Speaking of armaments, Operators do not have custom Loadouts — instead, they’re given one of three starting weapons on deployment and on respawn:

·       AK-47 (from Black Ops Cold War)

·       FARA 83

·       C58

All three of these weapons can deal solid damage to the train – more specifically, its turrets first, then the cars themselves – over time.

The Secondary Weapon is always an RPG-7, a powerful anti-vehicle launcher that is phenomenal against the armored train. But note: your ammo for this Launcher is more limited than that of the Primary Weapon.

So, no need to fret over changing Loadouts — round up the squad, select “The Battle of Verdansk” in the Play menu, and get ready for the skirmish to come.
