You’ll have to play a game of Warzone yourself in Season 6 to see exactly what happened to Downtown, Stadium, and explore these bunkers.

The OG Gulag has returned but with some different aspects in Season 6.

The original Gulag is back in Warzone in Season 6. Although not the exact same, the devs brought a revamped version of the classic Gulag that was a staple of Warzone for quite some time.

This can certainly bring back the OG vibes of Warzone before we say hello to the Vanguard integration.

Warzone Season 6 new weapons

Grav AR Warone Season 6
The Grav AR is the fastest shooting gun in the weapon’s class.

There are five new weapons that are dropping with Season 6 of Warzone for free. A gun that can possibly shake up the meta is the Grav, a fast-firing assault rifle. This gun is described as having the fastest bullet velocity of any AR with decent damage.

Another weapon is the .410 Ironhide shotgun that players can get for free by leveling up their battle pass. Shotguns have seen a rise in Warzone with the Gallo being extremely good but getting nerfed. Also, the Battle Axe is now here for free that players can earn by completing an in-game challenge

Two new weapons are coming later in Season 6. These two include the LAPA, a submachine gun that can be earned from The Haunting Event, and a Hammer and Sickle melee. This will be available to players that complete an in-game challenge

You can check out some of the new weapons in action from the PlayStation Season 6 cinematic.

Warzone The Haunting Event

Not much was revealed about Warzone’s newest event, The Haunting. However, it is set to release on October 19 to celebrate Halloween in Verdansk.

This can be similar to last year’s event which featured a nighttime map, along with spooky operators, a zombie LTM, and a scavenger hunt.

More details will be released on October 18, we will update you then.

Last but not least, a new season of course means a new Battle Pass. 100-tiers of fresh cosmetic items and weapon blueprints have arrived no different from usual.
