Here's your guide for Call of Duty: Warzone's wild Last Stand final season

It all ends now - or at least in the coming hours with Call of Duty: Warzone wrapping up its final season with Last Stand as the anticipation for Modern Warfare II grows even stronger.

There’s no better way to geek out about August 24 than taking a look at what’s on deck for when you lace up those digital boots and arsenal of toys before going all-out on the gaming goals. Here’s a round up of what’s waiting on the horizon.

In Warzone beginning with Last Stand, Operators will notice Caldera’s biggest new feature the moment they take off for deployment: The island’s Peak has been transformed by increasing volcanic activity. Lava flows down its slopes, hardening into molten rock, altering the mountain’s geography in several locations from the top to its base.

• Beware: Hot Lava! Watch your step when battling in and around the Peak. Stick your feet in the lava and you’ll start taking heavy damage. Get out at all costs!

• Redeploy, Take a Ride. Take advantage of one of the many Redeploy Balloons set up around Caldera’s Peak to reposition in a pinch, or get away completely by taking control of one of the many vehicles found near the top.

• Gondola Still Operable. A little magma won’t shut down this famed attraction. Take an easy ride to the top of the Peak as the rest of the Operators blast away at each other while playing hopscotch over lava flows.

Players will be challenged with saving Caldera in a Search and Destroy-inspired limited time mode that supports 80 players divided into 20 teams of four, whereby they can choose to either defuse or detonate various bombs throughout the island.

Last Stand also brings new ways to earn loot and conduct battle, from the Doomsday Station to the Rage Serum and other new items.

Here's a rundown of epic Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone season 3 updates

Kong and Godzilla are really heading to Call of Duty

The fun isn’t slowing down - at all - for the true Call of Duty gamers. Turns out just when you thought you’ve seen it all, iconic big screen legends Godzilla and King Kong are heading to one of the best first-person shooting games of all time with the Battle Pass season three trailer on deck.

Call of Duty’s Season 3 is packed with awesomness

Just getting a few new perks would be reason enough to geek out but Season Three is set to be a memorable edition. Called the ‘Classified Arms’ rollout set to launch tomorrow, April 27, the in-season limited-time Operation Monarch is locked in to have Kong and Godzilla grace your screens come May 11.

For Operation Monarch, Operators can become uber elite, with limited-time bundles based on Godzilla, Mechagodzilla and Kong. The Tracer Pack: KongLimited Time Bundle celebrates a Titan with nearly 90 years of history with nine items, including a Legendary “Kong” Operator Skin for Wade inspired by the ruler of Skull Island. Also, prepare to intimidate your opponents with the Tracer Pack: Godzilla Reactive Mastercraft Limited Time Bundle, a nine-item pack based on the beloved reptile. Last, don the Mechagodzilla armor and become the apex hunter you were born to be with the Tracer Pack: Mechagodzilla Limited Time Bundle. With this Bundle, you get the Legendary “Mechagodzilla” Operator Skin for Constanze, and nine other items, with two — the “Machine Learning” MVP Highlight and the “Rival Protocol” Highlight Intro — being Vanguard exclusive.

The COD Season 3 Battle Pass is near

The latest battle pass is going to be packed with gems. From blueprints and new calling cards to a new operator being introduced, the fun is set to go down in the coming hours.

Before the monstrous battle begins in Operation Monarch, Operators can gear up with the Season Three Battle Pass, featuring two new hard-hitting free weapons, more than 25 free items, including new reticles, blueprints and calling cards, and more. Purchasing the Battle Pass grants players access to new Operator - Mateo Hernandez, a new rare "Mountain Night" Daniel Yatsu Operator Skin, the legendary "Machine Envy" shotgun blueprint and much more.

Snoop Dogg is all over the Call of Duty universe

Is there any area of the entertainment game Snoop Dogg doesn’t invade? Turns out the legendary hip-hop artist’s presence is going to be all over Call of Duty this spring starting April 1.

Snoop Dogg’s in the Call of Duty universe

The hip-hop heavyweight is headed to all three COD games - Mobile, Vanguard and Warzone. The hype is real and Snoop’s already confirmed the big news.

"The D O Double G is back in Call of Duty and this time I’m in the freakin’ game! Excited to be working with the COD team to bring some fly features for you all to enjoy. It’s dope."

Snoop Dogg’s Lucky Draw

If you’re not really about the next generation gaming, the mobile version of Snoop is going to keep you locked and loaded on the fly. He’s set to appear in ‘Lucky Draw’ starting next month.

This Lucky Draw will include a Snoop Dogg Operator for Call of Duty: Mobile, which has him decked out head-to-toe in a 24K gold embroidered outfit. It also includes a new signature weapon based on a fast-firing Legendary SMG that’s gold-plated and diamond-encrusted. Light up your enemies under the lights of a mini-concert with this weapon’s unique death effect, and see your iced out weapon get even flashier as you earn eliminations. (COD)

Snoop Dogg’s Vanguard and Warzone

For everyone else, it’s all about the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 experience. Snoop will have his presence felt all over the place with a major bundle set for mid-April.

Meanwhile, over in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone, the Snoop Dogg Operator Bundle will be available on April 19 at 10 AM PT. And just so we’re clear on high-level details: the Snoop Dogg in Vanguard and Warzone is separate from the Snoop Dogg in Call of Duty: Mobile.  

The Warzone and Vanguard Snoop Dogg Operator Bundle will include ten items — three exclusive to Vanguard — and a full Operator progression track. Rewards across these 20 levels of Operator progression include Weapon XP for Snoop’s preferred weapon from Vanguard, three alternate outfits, and other cosmetic items.

This won’t be the first time Snoop Dogg dropped into Call of Duty, as fans will remember his Snoop Dogg Voiceover Pack in Call of Duty®: Ghosts. Snoop’s voice — with all new lines recorded for his very own Operator — returns to Call of Duty in the Snoop Dogg Operator Bundle for Vanguard and Warzone.

Years ago, Snoop entered the world of Call of Duty with a voice over pack for Ghosts.

Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Season 2 is near and here's everything you need to know

The only hearts we respect on February 14 are purple and digital. The long-awaited and much-needed season two for Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone is literally just days away and the hype is way more real than you can imagine.

In celebration of the insane rollout and anticipation to clock in hours of gameplay on Valentine’s Day, we’ve put together all those nitty gritty details you should be up on before the season launches next Monday.

The key Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 2 details

As you might imagine, there’s going to be a ridiculous amount of content dropping on both Vanguard and Warzone. Hence, let’s sum it all up - with help from Activision’s amazing PR team - in a few sentences.

Get ready for a massive free content drop on February 14th, when Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone kick off Season Two! The latest season of free and additional content brings armored war machines and chemical weapons to bring global conflict to a new level. Join Captain Butcher and Task Force Yeti in discovering the greatest threat to the world: Nebula V. Eradicate or harness this weapon in Warzone, prove your elite skills in Vanguard Multiplayer, or enter all-new areas in the Dark Aether to face a deceptive force in Zombies. Once both Vanguard (Feb 10 @9am PT) and Warzone (Feb 14 @9am PT) updates are downloaded, fans can enjoy double XP across both games to celebrate the launch of the new season.

And who doesn't love dope screenshots and galleries

We’re becoming really huge fans of high-quality pics more than ever these days. So it’s only right we highlight some of our favorite looks at the upcoming Season 2 in insane up-close nature.

'Attack On Titan' is unloading in Call of Duty: Vanguard

Need more reasons to keep getting hyped up about everything going down in Call of Duty: Vanguard at the start of the new year? You can already tell there are tons of enhancements and perks simmered into the game but the biggest headline of the week has to be on iconic best-selling manga series ‘Attack on Titan’ gearing up for war.

Attack On Titan teams with Call of Duty: Vanguard

With the series’ final season being celebrated, it’s only right this collaboration is going down right now. It’s coming to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific as part of the games’ first major update of the new year.

This epic collaboration will officially become available on January 20, approximately one week after a midseason update for Vanguard and Warzone Pacific that will include a new Operator, a new weapon, additional content for Zombies, various bug fixes, and more.

The Vanguard update will be available to download on January 11, at 9 PM PT, while the Warzone Pacific update can be downloaded starting on January 12 at 9 PM PT.

These will prepare both games for the first full day of Season One’s midseason update on January 13 at 9 AM PT.

The massive Attack On Titan store bundle

What’s a collaboration without an epic bundle? Look no further than the Tracer Pack: Attack on Titan - Levi Edition Bundle.

This 10-item Store Bundle is not just for superfans of the franchise; it has the style and firepower to become a leader among soldiers, just like Levi Ackerman.

One of the most notable additions to this Bundle is the “Titan Piercer,” a Weapon Blueprint that models the very blade that can slay Titans. Made of ultrahard steel, the only material that can cut through Titan flesh, this one-edge blade is more than capable of slicing through squads with ease.

Also available in the Bundle is the Legendary “Steel Cut” Finishing Move, as well as the Vanguard-exclusive “Vertical Maneuver” Highlight Intro and the “Ultrahard Steel” MVP Highlight.

The other two weapons in this Bundle are the Legendary “Historia” SMG and “Ymir Curse” Assault Rifle Weapon Blueprints, two firearms that are great additions to your Warzone Pacific or Vanguard Multiplayer and Zombies Loadouts.

More Operators are heading to Vanguard

Along with all of the ‘Attack On Titan’ hype, there’s a major operator addition coming courtesy of Isabella Rosario Dulnuan Reyes.

Isabella was trained in the martial arts as a young girl by her father. After his death, she continued to hone her skills on those who drove her into a local resistance. After the war, she joined Trident alongside Francis and Lewis to uncover Caldera’s secrets, acting as the close-quarters battle (CQB) specialist with extreme proficiency with a new weapon for the Vanguard arsenal.

Unlock Isabella by purchasing her Wild Rose Operator Bundle, which also includes two Legendary Weapon Blueprints.

Those who have all three members of Trident — Francis, Lewis, and Isabella — unlocked and leveled to the max can unlock a special Gold outfit for all three Operators, as well as a Platinum one if they have at least three other Task Forces maxed out to Level 20.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is your Thanksgiving break must-play

Okay, so hear me out. I know you all already probably prestiged like 4x already and that is cool. I have been out of the Call of Duty game for a while now. The Warzone was fine for a minute until I hit a player with way too many headshots for him not to go down, but instead they hit me with one and I go down. Yeah, I just calmly (not at all) put PlayStation 5 controller down and turned the game off. Retired THE SAME DAY! 

Then here comes Call of Duty: Vanguard. Every time I try to get out they pull me back in! The return to World War II and the zombies is usually the formula to bring me back. It tears me up inside most times. Vanguard brings in new elements to make the campaign even better as well. Much like in The Last of Us Part II, the introduction of dogs brings a new unique challenge to the first person shooter franchise. Those things are annoying, but the challenge of them made me enjoy the experience that much more. 

The multiplayer is always going to be a draw. It’s Call of Duty, if you aren’t in the multiplayer or Warzone, why are you even here? I admit I am rusty, it showed. You all have no mercy. NONE! The new weapons, and dynamic maps made the gameplay more fun. Not much room for those campers which makes me happy. Those players make the gameplay dull. The maps force you to move and get in the mix. 

The main reason Vanguard brought me back into the Call of Duty franchise, the perks system. New perks, new weapons, and much better load outs. The double experience points this weekend helped me level up a bit faster. The realism of having to move left to right with the blurry picture enhanced the realism. As someone who serves even I was impressed by this concept as this is a real thing. Moving target to target with this level of realism definitely is something not to be ignored. 

Congratulations Activision, you won back this previously retired CoD player. Keep up the dope work! If you all want to catch me while I am still knocking this rust off on the PS5, hit me up, Gamertag: Proctorious or if you want to find me on the social media: IG: Rproctor23 Twitter: Zero2Hero I’ll see you all out there. Cop Call of Duty: Vanguard if you haven’t done so already. It’s a new experience with a similar WW2 vibe. Let me know what you think!
