From map changes to Nebula V, here’s what’s coming in Season 2.
Looking for the latest on the Warzone Pacific Season 2 update? The update is almost here, so you might be wondering what to expect from Warzone Pacific in the coming weeks. Map changes are incoming, as well as the usual stock of new weapons, vehicles, and modes.
You might have already heard about the deadly gas, Nebula V, that’s set to shake things up on Caldera, and several of the new additions this season are tied to it. So to make sure you’re prepared ahead of time, here’s what you need to know about Warzone Pacific Season 2.
Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season 2 will deploy on February 14 at 9 am PT/5 pm GMT. The new season was initially scheduled for release at the beginning of February, but the delay was announced last month.

Nebula V is a gas that works similarly to the poisonous fumes that chase you into the circle, and anyone that gets near it should expect damage-over-time, coughing, and blurred vision. It’s pretty nasty stuff, so someone inevitably decided to make use of it during combat.
Nebula V ammo is classified as a Field Upgrade. While the bullet itself isn’t any more powerful than regular ammo, it emits the poisonous gas when downing opponents, effectively preventing teammates from reviving them.
A new Nebula V bomb is a rare item soon to be found on Caldera. The briefcase will explode a short time after being placed and can’t be disarmed or destroyed. The gas it emits will last for a few minutes before dispersing, so it should be an effective way to seal certain areas or doorways to prevent access. That is unless you have the new Field Equipment, Portable Decontamination Station, which can help negate Nebula V’s effects. 
Seven different Underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs can also be found hidden around Caldera, and finding these will offer more lucrative loot.
Speaking of loot, new Armored Transport Trucks carrying Nebula V will patrol a set path, dropping mines in their wake. They’ll also attack operators that get too close and call in support from the skies if the vehicle’s health drops too low. If you manage to destroy one, you can expect to nab some valuable rewards. 
Alternatively, the new Redeploy Balloon will let you reposition yourself on the map, though this will come with its own risks. Using a zipline to reach the top, you can jump and redeploy your parachute to reach your preferred area of the map. Just be aware that these balloons can be destroyed, so you may have to spend some of your cash to reinflate it.
Two limited-time modes will arrive in Season 2. First is Iron Trials, which is making a return to Warzone later this month—but this time, it’s headed to Rebirth Island instead of the main battle royale map.
Caldera Clash is the second mode and is essentially an evolution of Clash on Verdansk ’84. It’s a deathmatch of sorts where kills mean points, and you’ll be able to jump in with custom loadouts from the start of Season 2.
Sarah’s earliest gaming memories involve playing Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum at a friend’s house. These days, and when not writing guides, most of her spare time goes into MMOs—though she’s quite partial to JRPGs too. She has spent much of the last decade playing the likes of Star Wars: The Old Republic, TERA, Final Fantasy 14, and World of Warcraft. Sarah has been writing about games for several years and, before joining PC Gamer, freelanced for the likes of TechRadar, GamingBible, and Rock Paper Shotgun. One of her fondest hopes is to one day play through the ending of Final Fantasy X without breaking down into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
