Warzone fans loved the Iron Trials ’84 mode, where players could earn bragging rights by winning “the toughest Battle Royale mode to ever be in Verdansk”. It has now been deleted, so here is when we expect it to return.

Warzone Season 6 has arrived, and many will remember Season 5 fondly reloaded thanks to the fan-favorite Iron Trials ’84 mode.

It was a more hardcore Verdansk experience where players could earn an exclusive calling card. In Iron Trials, you had to “loosen up your mastery of the entire arsenal of weapons” and “prove that you can handle any firefight with any type of weaponry”.

Here’s everything you need to know about Warzone’s Iron Trials ’84 mode, including when it officially returns.

Warzone Iron Trials Return Date

Raven Software deleted Iron Trials 84 from Warzone on September 30.

Following the call from players to return the mode, Raven Software announced plans to return to the mode over three separate weekends in October.

In a graphic released as part of Warzone’s Season 6 patch notes, the studio confirmed that the mode will return on weekends exclusively with Quad, Trios, and Solos versions of the mode.

Exclusive Weekend Playlist updates are available Friday at 10 a.m. PT through Monday at 10 a.m. PT.

Here is the schedule:

Warzone Iron Trials ’84 Rules

In many ways, Iron Trials is a more competitive version of Warzone. The Gulag are more skill dependent, loadout drops are rarer and more difficult to acquire, and kill time (TTK) has been increased across the board.

Thanks to the Call of Duty Blog and reloaded Season 5 patch notes, here’s all the new stuff in Warzone’s Iron Trials ’84:

Iron Trials ’84 Quads & Trios

The October 8 update for Warzone introduced the Quads version of Iron Trials ’84, and it has major differences from the Duos version with the Warzone October 15 update introducing the Trios version which has the same rules as Quads.

Find below all the exclusive rules of the Quads & Trios version of the game mode:

• Buy Station
  • The specialist token has been removed.
• Equipment
  • The medical syringe now heals 25% faster.
• Gulag
  • The uploads have been updated.
  • Main weapon attachments load increased from 2 to 3.
• Booty
  • The specialist token now drops on death.
  • Classified weapons have been updated.
  • Foresight has been added as an extremely rare drop.
• Player
  • Base health regeneration rate has been increased.
• Vehicles
  • Tac Rovers have been activated.
• Weapons
  • Sniper Rifle headshot distance increased to 50 yards.
  • Sniper Rifle headshot damage beyond 50 yards increased from 300 to 325.

Operator and kill time changes

• Basic health: Compared to a normal match, the base health of all players has been increased from 100 to 250.
• Health regeneration: The regeneration delay has been increased from 5 to 7 seconds and the regeneration per second has been reduced from 120 per second to 40. It may be a good idea for players to reconsider their preferred perks and gear.
• Starting equipment: Players arrive with a .44 Magnum and a Sledgehammer.

The developers have already made it their mission to increase Warzone’s TTK, claiming that it increases “the overall ability to express skills” and allows “more breakouts from impossible situations, moments of finesse, epic performance. and opportunities to demonstrate exquisite marksmanship. ”

They said the Iron Trials 84 health change “is predicted to affect combat feel, kill time, weapon viability, perks, and gear, as the whole game is actually changed! ”

No free loading drops

Even if you’ve gulagged early and scrambled to find cash and more weapons, you can still be sure you know that a free Loadout Drop will arrive at the start of the second and fifth circles.

But not in Iron Trials ’84, where free cargo drops were disabled. Staying alive and finding money has never been more important, especially when “the cost at a shopping station has also gone up”.

Players will need to collect and spend $ 15,000 instead of the standard $ 10,000 to purchase a Load Drop in this game mode.

Gulag harder

In Iron Trials ’84, the developers revealed that the Gulag is still open, but will focus on individual skills. They also said that “the only thing that stands between you and the redeployment is the agility of your trigger finger.”

Players have already requested that dual weapons and tactical gear be removed from the gulag, and Raven is delivering in the Iron Trials ’84 gulag.

• No akimbo
• No semi-automatic or fully automatic shotguns
• Almost no tactical equipment
• Light machine guns (except RPD (BOCW)) and all tactical rifles have been removed from gulag loadouts

Additionally, if you win your One-on-One, you will now redeploy with the weapons and equipment you had in the Gulag.

No stopping power or dead silence

Players have long complained about the luck-based advantage of the powerful Field Upgrades Stopping Power and Dead Silence.

Raven Software previously reduced the spawn rates of Stopping Power and allowed High Alert to counter Dead Silence, but Iron Trials removes both.

Sniper rifle, stun grenade and medical syringe nerves

Sniper rifles are some of Warzone’s most powerful tools, allowing you to take out targets at extremely long ranges without getting your hands dirty. However, Iron Trials ’84 made it so that sniper rifles “can only fire a single shot to the head within 30 yards”.

This will likely promote more aggressive play styles for snipers, where they have to close the gap to pull off that ever-important one-shot kill.

Additionally, Stun Grenades and Medical Syringes will also have their effectiveness reduced by 50%, making them less powerful than in normal game modes.

Fewer vehicles

A common strategy for surviving in Verdansk is to move around safely with the large Bertha trucks, SUVs and helicopters. However, you won’t be able to do this in Iron Trials, as the only vehicles on the map will be ATVs and dirt bikes.

You won’t be able to crush your opponents with such ease, and you won’t be able to use the vehicles for cover. Raven recommends that you “Plan your drops carefully and rotate them early.”

Loot changes

You can find all of the game-changing loot changes that are in effect in the Warzone Iron Trials ’84 game mode below:

• Basic attachments: Common guns will start with an attachment – most to provide their maximum magazine size.
• Rarity occurrence rate: Epic and Legendary weapons are now harder to find. Players will need to open a few more boxes than usual to find what they are looking for.
• New rarity – Ranked: Those Black Ops Cold War weapons will appear with a few more attachments than usual – more than the standard five. That said, good luck finding one.
• Killstreaks: Drop rates have been reduced. It’s time to stop spamming drones and start testing those senses.
• Cash: Large piles of cash are rarer. Players will need to stay on top of cash recovery if they are considering affording a loadout.
• Field upgrades: No dead silence. No stopping power turns. Period.

Buy station price changes

• Armor Pack: $ 1,500 to $ 2,000
• Gas mask: $ 3,000 to $ 4,000
• Cluster strike: $ 3,000 to $ 4,000
• Precision strike: $ 3,500 to $ 4,500
• Self-resuscitate: $ 4000 to $ 5000
• UAV: $ 4,000 to $ 6,000
• Load drop marker: $ 10,000 to $ 15,000

The buying station not only has adjusted prices, but also gives players the option to purchase the Specialist Perk bonus. This will make players fall back a huge $ 50,000, so you’ll do well to acquire one in a game.

• Supply Races discounts are now 50% on all items except Team Redeployment (100%), Cargo Drop Marker (10%), and Specialist Token (10%) .
• The Hardline Perk now offers a 25% discount on every item, except Self-Resuscitate (20%), Load Drop Marker (10%), and Specialist Token (20%).

Contract price changes

• Acknowledgement : $ 1,100
• Scavenger: $ 1,600
• Premium: $ 2,500
• Supply stroke: $ 1,200

Warzone Iron Trials ’84 Reward

To win a game of Iron Trials ’84, players could get their hands on a Exclusive calling card.

The developers have stated that “there is no participation trophy for this mode” and that only those who win the Iron Trials will receive the calling card.

Will Iron Trials be coming to Warzone Custom Lounges?

Iron Trials had been incredibly popular, with many players calling for it to be a permanent ranked mode. There is no confirmation that a Ranked Mode will ever arrive in Warzone, but the competitive scene is expected to receive the new rules in the future.

Iron Trials ’84 Duos will remain online until the 30th.

Along with the confirmation that Iron Trials will be phased out on September 30, Raven Software told YouTuber JGOD that “As for customs… it’s not coming. tomorrow that’s all we can say for now.
