Warzone Season 3 - Classified Arms

The most important changes in the overview:

New POI (location) on Caldera including event with King Kong and Godzilla: "Dig Site" is located in the west between Mines and Ruins - there you can loot among huge skeletons from times past. From May 11, an event with King Kong and Godzilla will take place there. 

Modification of existing POIs on Caldera: The three locations "Lagoon", "Peak" and "Runway " have been revised.

New weather setting: A storm is brewing over the sunny island.

Perksin storage boxes: Perks that have received little attention in the past can now be found in storage boxes. However, only one lootable perk is active at a time.

New mode "Iron Trials" on Caldera: The Battleroyale mode with tightened rules is now also playable on Caldera.

New mission "Sabotage": In this mission you have to destroy a certain vehicle on the map and get an armoured truck as a reward.

2 new weapons: The DMR M1916 and the Nikita AVT assault rifle are now new to the game.
