For weeks, there has been an ongoing alternative reality game, like ARG, going into the Call of Duty community, with some streamers and pressure on vintage projectors sent to their homes which contained clues about this year’s his Call of Duty game. Activision has already started posting the following entry, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War, but players also used the ARG to discover a new secret in the Call of Duty: Warzone map.
On Wednesday, Reddit user Uli909 posted a short clip to the Call of Duty: Warzone subreddit that can provide a hint about a difficult reveal-in-game.
The clip shows players gaining access to a new bunker deep inside the map by entering a code. They find a giant rocket, which can presumably play in Black Ops: Cold War. Unlike some of the others Warzone Easter eggs, the code does not change game after game – which means you can see it for yourself without much effort.
According to Uli909, players figured out how to get into the code thanks to ARG’s website, PawnTakesPawn. New codes appear every day on the website, and Wednesday’s code shows an easily decipherable message: WZ-F8-60274513. Uli909 decrypted the code, aware that WZ meant it Warzone, with F8 telling the sector of the map to search. After finding the new bunker, players entered the remaining part of the code and found their way inside.
In the Reddit post, some players speculate that the missile could have destroyed the whole of Verdansk – the current Warzone map. ‘I think what will happen is that the rocket will destroy the whole map, officially ending Warzone in [Modern Warfare] and then we start anew [battle royale] card in Cold War, “Wrote Reddit user ReaperYash05. This would play into the idea that Warzone will live from past Modern warfare.
If you want to see the missile yourself, drop into sector F8, near the road. Go through the silver door, and enter 60274513 on the keyboard. There are some loot boxes at the silo. It is currently unclear what will happen to the new missile. But we will probably learn more as Activision unveils Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War on 26 Aug.
