One aspect that was added during Season 4 is the brand new game mode Payload, and if you have played other titles such as Overwatch, the name Payload surely rings a bell.
Here’s all you need to know about the new game mode and how you are able to play it.
Activision-Blizzard What is Warzone’s Payload game mode?
Added during Season 4, Payload has teams of 40 duke it out against each other to see what team can escort the Payload to the destination first. Similar to the game mode within Overwatch, they have added a CoD twist to it, as you are able to place barriers and other obstacles to hinder the enemies from moving their Payload.
The premise of the game is rather simple, but it makes for some interesting team cohesion, as while eliminations are going to be vital to clearing out the Payload, you will have to be mindful of the Payload itself. Be sure to always have someone on the Payload, and keep an eye out on all the surrounding areas, as there are sure to be enemies hidden in the distance looking to pick you off from range.
