Themed Maps and Limited Modes in Multiplayer
Shipmas
Pack your ugly sweater and deploy to the frozen sea in this cold-weather version of Shipment. Keep your head on a swivel to avoid joining the other corpses in cold storage.
Hangover
Toast to the New Year in this winter-themed Highrise decked with lights, garlands, and festive flair. The battle takes place at night for a new gameplay experience, so bring your best and celebrate in the victory screen.
New Limited-Time Modes
Infectious Holiday
Play Infected in a lobby full of Santa Claus Operators. Infected players will transform into the Zombie Santa Skin. Combine cheerfulness with combat prowess to retain those rosy cheeks against the undead menace.
Snowfight
In this Gunfight iteration, the first two rounds are decided by a snowball fight. These snowballs hit hard, so stay light on your feet. Capture the suspiciously yellow snowball in the center of the map for a one-hit elimination. After regular Loadouts return in the third round, players can still loot snowballs placed throughout the map.
CODMAS in Modern Warfare Zombies
Encounter new seasonal enemy models and updated infil music and collect snowballs around the map, which can be used to launch deadly attacks.
Slay Ride Resurgence Comes to Call of Duty: Warzone
Play the limited-time Slay Ride Resurgence Playlist during the CODMAS event for the chance to earn high-quality loot by decorating trees and taking on Santa in an ambush on the seasonal train.
Slay Ride
Take the fight to Santa aboard the train traveling through Urzikstan. Succeed in toppling the king of Christmas to earn powerful in-game loot and an Emblem proving your prowess.
Deck the Halls
Deploy to one of six Deck the Halls tree-themed capture points marked on the Tac Map in Slay Ride Resurgence, and loot up with high-tier gear right at the start of the match. Standing near the tree with no opponents nearby will begin the festive decorating. The tree can be upgraded to Tier 2 or become fully decorated at Tier 3, improving the value of the loot. The more decorated your tree, the better the weapons, Killstreaks, and in-game Cash you’ll earn in return.
New Year, New Event: Face the Vortex
Schedule: The Vortex event kicks off January 3 after CODMAS 2023, and runs until January 17.
Enter the flames of the Vortex to fight for cataclysmic rewards. In this event, players will progress through the 15 available rewards by playing in the Vortex-themed maps Tetanus, Satan’s Quarry, and Sporeyard.
Tetanus
In this otherworld version of Rust, Operators find themselves in an otherworldly desert during a planetary storm. Strips of neon-green light attached to the infrastructure enhance the sci-feel feel of the fight.
Satan’s Quarry
Enter this pit of fire and brimstone only if you dare. Huge chains piercing the skies signal a hellish destination in which only the bold stand the chance to survive.
Sporeyard
The iconic boneyard shows signs of fungal infestation as glowing blue flora spreads throughout the map, dispensed by the towering toadstools surrounding the borders.
Enjoy the holiday festivities! Once a new info drop on the mid-season update is revealed, we’ll let our readers know.
