Scopes and Scatter Guns Warzone: Everything You Need to Know About the Playlist

Scopes and Scatter Guns Warzone playlist ignites the flame for battle royale game modes with a twist.

Along with the recent release of Season Three to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward keeps on delivering. Call of Duty's most recent take on the realm of battle royale titles, Warzone, received a new playlist on Tuesday. Officially entitled Scopes and Scatter Guns, the new variant mode is just that: a trio-mode featuring only snipers and shotguns.

Ordinary battle royale Trios have now been replaced for the time being. As highlighted in the weekly Activision Games Blog published on Monday, the developers are experimenting with "new ranges of play" with the Scopes and Scatter Guns limited-time mode.

With loot being restricted to two weapon classes, expect to hear the stinging sensations of semi- and bolt-action rifles from far out. And, if players are so inclined they can also run around with shotguns and attempt to evade long lines of sight.

Don't stop there. Call of Duty also plans to drop another double XP weekend, spanning from Friday, April 17 at 1 p.m. ET through Monday, April 20 at 1 p.m. ET.

Players can effectively use this weekend's time to level up their rank and weapons to spice up their loadout options. Modern Warfare and Warzone fans can also use the 2XP weekend to more efficiently complete challenges, missions, and ribbons.

With the release of Scopes and Scatter Guns, this is the opportune time to finally unlock those sniper and shotgun weapon skins you've been putting off.
