Replacing Verdansk with Caldera is a risky move, but it’s sure to bringCall of Duty: Warzonea lot of attention. The addition of a brand new map has the potential to bring in new players as well as lapsed players who have since moved on to other games. However, Caldera isn’t the only thing new coming toCall of Duty: Warzonethis week. In fact, the newCall of Duty: Warzonemap will bring with it some other major changes to the game.
Namely,Call of Duty: Warzoneloadouts are getting changed with the Season 1 update so that players have to wait for the first free loadout drops before they can buy one for their team.

Besides loadouts, theCall of Duty: WarzoneGulag is also changingwith the Season 1 update so that when players win their fight and respawn, they get to keep the weapons they were using in the Gulag.
