Our take
The introduction of a direct $1,000,000 purchase option for the Nuke in Rally Point shifts the endgame dynamic from indefinite combat to a financial race. This change, exclusive to the 20-player Zodiac map, offers a clear, cooperative objective that contrasts with the traditional Battle Royale elimination loop, potentially altering how squads prioritize cash accumulation over kill counts.
Background
Warzone is the battle royale component of the Call of Duty franchise. Nukes have previously appeared in the game as a reward for completing the Champion’s Quest, but they were not directly purchasable in standard modes.
Season 1 of Warzone coincides with the integration of Modern Warfare 4. This update introduces Rally Point, a new mode designed as a reintroduction to Warzone for players. Unlike traditional Battle Royale, Rally Point takes place on the new Zodiac map, supports up to 20 players, and features unlimited respawns and a drop-in, drop-out system without a shrinking gas circle.
