Warzone Pacific Season 2 new weapons
Several new weapons are set to arrive with Season 2. TheKG M40 Assault RifleandWhitley LMGare available at launch via the battle pass, while theIce AxeandArmaguerra 43 SMGwill be available later on in Season 2.
What’s this about Nebula V?
Nebula V is a gas that works similarly to the poisonous fumes that chase you into the circle, and anyone that gets near it should expect damage-over-time, coughing, and blurred vision. It’s pretty nasty stuff, so someone inevitably decided to make use of it during combat.
Nebula V ammois classified as a Field Upgrade. While the bullet itself isn’t any more powerful than regular ammo, it emits the poisonous gas when downing opponents, effectively preventing teammates from reviving them.
A newNebula V bombis a rare item soon to be found on Caldera. The briefcase will explode a short time after being placed and can’t be disarmed or destroyed. The gas it emits will last for a few minutes before dispersing, so it should be an effective way to seal certain areas or doorways to prevent access. That is unless you have the new Field Equipment,Portable Decontamination Station,which can help negate Nebula V’s effects.

Map changes and Armored Trucks
Warzone Pacific Season 2 map changes
Nebula V gas also plays a role in the map changes in Season 2. The refinery between the Mines and the Docks on Caldera will be home to theChemical Factorythat manufactures the deadly gas.
Seven differentUnderground Chemical Weapon Research Labscan also be found hidden around Caldera, and finding these will offer more lucrative loot.
Speaking of loot, newArmored Transport Truckscarrying Nebula V will patrol a set path, dropping mines in their wake. They’ll also attack operators that get too close and call in support from the skies if the vehicle’s health drops too low. If you manage to destroy one, you can expect to nab some valuable rewards.
New operators
Who are Task Force Yeti?
Warzone Pacific Season 2 and Vanguard are also getting a trio of new operators who make up the fearsome Task Force Yeti. Each of these soldiers brings their own particular expertise to the fight. Here are their names and a little about each of them:
New vehicles and modes

TheBomber Planewill arrive in Warzone’s Vanguard modes and is fully capable of taking out anti-air guns and even loadout drops. Both the Bomber Plane and the existing Fighter Plane are receiving a “health” decrease as part of the upcoming update, giving players an easier time bringing them down.
Alternatively, the newRedeploy Balloonwill let you reposition yourself on the map, though this will come with its own risks. Using a zipline to reach the top, you can jump and redeploy your parachute to reach your preferred area of the map. Just be aware that these balloons can be destroyed, so you may have to spend some of your cash to reinflate it.
New modes
Two limited-time modes will arrive in Season 2. First isIron Trials, which is making a return to Warzone later this month—but this time, it’s headed to Rebirth Island instead of the main battle royale map.
Caldera Clashis the second mode and is essentially an evolution of Clash on Verdansk ‘84. It’s a deathmatch of sorts where kills mean points, and you’ll be able to jump in with custom loadouts from the start of Season 2.
