3 Biggest Changes in Warzone 2 Season 2
1. Gulag
One of the biggest critiques of Warzone 2 is the 2v2 Gulag format. Players are paired with a random partner and must work together to win the Gulag and return to the match.
Season 2 will bring back the 1v1 Gulag. Although the existing Gulag will remain, the developers have made some alterations to the environment to better support 1v1 combat. The Domination-style flag will also return to determine overtime victories.
Players can expect to spawn in with a greater variety of loadouts, including Assault Rifles, Submachine Guns, and Light Machine Guns. Those who win their Gulag will leave with a larger cash reward.

2. Looting
Warzone 2's changes to looting disgruntled many players. Players have to sift through the Backpack of an enemy to loot them once they are killed, and then transfer the items into their own Backpack.
The upcoming update will now allow loot to fall onto the ground once an enemy is killed. Floating loot will also drop out of all containers in Al Mazrah so players no longer have to deal with loot menus. Lastly, all players will have the same Backpack size.
Looting will look much more like the system in the original Warzone. Players will be able to loot faster and get back into the action more efficiently.
Looting gets updated in #Warzone2 with Season 02.

3. Buy Stations
Buy Stations spawn in different locations during each match on Al Mazrah. The random spawns hinder gameplay and create unpredictable, sometimes impossible, circumstances to use a Buy Station.
Thankfully, spawns for Buy Stations will be static across the map in Season 2. All stations will also have unlimited stock of Loadout Drop Markers. The prices of Primary Weapons at Buy Stations will now be more affordable as well.
Plan your rotations, plate up with haste, and take on new Challenges to loot up.
