As explained by Activision, there are multiple ways thatCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers can respawn in the game. After being eliminated in battle royale,Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers are transported to the Gulag, which is similar to the Gulag Gunfight map.

Another way thatCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers can rejoin the fight is by purchasing Self-Revive Kits. Self-Revive Kits will be available to purchase using in-game cash that players will earn in both the standard battle royale mode and the Plunder mode. Players can also buy Squad Buyback revive tokens at the Buy Stations that are found throughout theWarzonemap, which can be used to bring back dead teammates.
Other battle royale games have used respawn systems, butCall of Duty: Warzoneis definitely thinking outside the box. The 1v1 Gulag idea seems like a great way to incorporate the fan favorite gameplay ofGunfightinto the battle royale setting as well, which should helpWarzonestill feel a genuine extension of theModern Warfareexperience. On paper, it sounds like a great idea, and luckily fans don’t have to wait long to find out if it’s good in practice as well.

Everyone else will be able to download for free at 12pm PT, so just a few hours after it goes live forModern Warfareowners.
