Changes to Battle Royale maps have become expected at this point, but it looks like the next change toCall of Duty: Warzonemay be a big one. Although fans have known that season 3 was fast approaching for a while now, there was no telling exactly how things would change. Nowradiation spreads across Verdansk, cutting off certain areas and making other far too dangerous to venture into. It seems likely that this radiation will continue to spread until the launch of season 3 when something dramatic is expected to happen.
Since launch,Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers have waged war against one another in the city of Verdansk. This titular warzone has been the cite of countless battles among players, and big changes to it are coming soon. First it was the infiltration of zombies to the map, and now this strange radiation. Many fans postulate that this is the infamous Nova 6 contagion.

TheofficialCall of Duty: Warzoneblogalso released a statement about this strange contaminant, claiming that it is 100% contained at the moment. It seems as though itcame from Rebirth Island, but for what purpose it was released into Verdansk remains uncertain. This seems to make sense, though, as the currently irradiated areas include both the Prison and the Shipwreck areas of the map. These areas are marked with a large red circle and players would do well to stay far away from them during their games if possible.
When entering these areas, players will quickly be overcome by a dense green smoke. The player will then take repeated damage at an alarming rate until they manage toescape the irradiated zone or succumb to its horrors. A gas mask is capable of warding off this deadly effect for a brief time, but they only last so long. If the player’s gas mask breaks while they are deep within one of these irradiated zones, death is guaranteed. Unfortunately, death isn’t the end of it, as dying inside one of these zones causes the player to respawn into Verdansk as a zombie.
With this and thenuke event set to start on April 21st, there are definitely going to be some major overhauls toCall of Duty: Warzone. More information should come to light over the coming days, but until that time players should explore the area in game. For those brave enough to venture deep into the irradiated zones, there may be something unique worth finding.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
