Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale Release

Call of Duty Modern Warfare's battle royale has yet to receive a release date — Infinity Ward has yet to even officially acknowledge the leaks that revealed the mode's likely existence. Here's what we know about the mode ahead of its release, whenever that may be.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: What We Know

All the information currently available about Call of Duty Modern Warfare's battle royale mode comes from a single data mine by Reddit user u/Senescallo. Senescallo shared their findings to Reddit Nov. 16, revealing the map and various details about the game mode.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: Map

Despite being removed from the original leak, images of the map continue to circulate online. It appears to include both the Ground War and Spec Ops maps.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: 200-Player Matches and the Basics

Each game of Modern Warfare's battle royale will feature 200 players, according to the leak. It will be available for solos, duos and squads of four.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: Respawns and the Gulag

Players will be able to revive teammates once each using respawn tokens. The process includes bringing the fallen ally to an ambulance, which in turn brings them to a place referred to in-game as the Gulag. There, they'll face off 1-vs-1 against another dead player, with the winner returning to the game. Once revived, players can recover their load outs at mobile armories.

In the Gulag, players will be able to spectate each 1-vs-1 match, with a countdown showing when they'll join the fray. While spectating, players can bet Plunder on the outcomes of each 1-vs-1 match. Jailbreaks will take place occasionally, sending all players back into the game at once.

The Gulag will close after a certain point in each game, preventing further respawns.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: Missions

Missions will be available in each match for players to complete. They include the following missions types:

• Tracked
• Timed Run
• Assassination
• Scavenger Hunt
• Domination
• Random

Completing a mission will earn players Plunder.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: Plunder

Players can earn Plunder by completing missions and eliminating enemies. Plunder dropped by enemies expires after a certain amount of time. Plunder Box locations will allow players to exchange Plunder for powerful items. Plunder can also be hoarded and converted into XP at ATM around the map.

Players must reach a certain Plunder threshold to deposit it into the Bank. Entering the Bank will cause an alarm to sound.

The player who collects the most Plunder in a match will be named Best Plunderer.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Battle Royale: Loot

Weapons will be available in five rarities: white, green, blue, purple and gold. Players will have limited inventory space, which they will be able to fill with any of the weapons, attachments and equipments already available in multiplayer. They will not be able to equip two of the same weapon.

All the Field Upgrades and Killstreaks from multiplayer will also appear in the battle royale.

Armor will include the now-standard helmet and vest combo, with helmets reducing headshot damage and vests absorbing damage.
