Warzone movement will finally be better on Verdansk according to latest leak
Swimming has been one of the most controversial mechanics in Warzone since it was first introduced in Warzone 2 in 2022, but leaks suggest it won’t be an issue on Verdansk.
Activisionhadgrand plans for swimmingin Modern Warfare 2 back in 2022. In defense of adding a swimming mechanic, the developersargued it was “Hard to make a Warzone map where you jump into the water and die all the time.”
The devs didn’t account for how much of a nuisance it would become. Al Mazrah featured some bodies of water, but frustrations mounted when Ashika Island launched. The island-based Resurgence map had several waterways and regularly forced players to engage in water combat.
It was a problem when a final circle ended in the water because pistols were the only weapons that could be fired underwater. Raven Software addressed that issue in 2023 by giving everyone adedicated pistol slot, but water still presents problems on Urzikstan and players want it removed.
Verdansk remake reportedly won’t have water
After months of speculation, Activision finally confirmed that Warzone’s original map,Verdansk, will make a long-awaited return inSeason 3, which starts on April 3.Leaksrevealed that the map will be virtually the same as the original version, aside from a few minor changes.
Some players feared swimming would be an issue for Verdansk, even though it wasn’t on the original map. Call of Duty leakerTheGhostOfHopeassured fans by confirming that there won’t be any water on Verdansk.
However, that doesn’t mean there will never be water on the map.TheGhostOfHopealso reported, “Verdansk map updates (new and returning) are planned throughout BO6 seasons and beyond potentially to keep people interested. They’re not gonna keep the map as the OG March 2020 version forever.”
