Stocked up, Locked Down 24/7 features two maps from the regular multiplayer – Atlas Superstore and Shoot House. The former should already be very familiar to Warzone players since it’s one of the premier hot-drops in the battle royale.

Shoot House, added in Season 1, quickly became a fan-favorite and has stayed that way ever since. Its small size keeps players in action at almost every moment, unlike some of the larger maps that can get a bit boring at times.

Shoot House will be available for the free access weekend in Modern Warfare.

Even if a Warzone player isn’t interested in multiplayer, trying out the free weekend could be a great way to practice the various Call of Duty components that transferred over to the BR, including killstreaks, Field Upgrades, and perks.

Furthermore, you’ll also be able to level up any weapon you choose and start equipping better attachments and camos for the guns you get in Loadout Drops. This lasts for only three days though, so make sure you take advantage of this opportunity!
