Call of Duty Warzone
In about a week, Call of Duty Warzone fans will be able to welcome the highly anticipated Season 3 which, according to the developers, promises many new features. The most important concerns the game map, in fact according to recent updates the destroyed Verdansk theory seems to be gaining ground, but it is not yet clear how it can be replaced by “itself from the past”. Could the nuclear attack create a space-time? Only time will tell.Pending details, the development team has officially made available the Sykov pistol, which can be unlocked at no additional cost. Just last February we told you about a trick to unlock it in preview through a curious glitch, if you have not been able to exploit it, do not worry, we will explain step by step how to make it yours and be able to use it during games. Please note that this weapon cannot be exploited in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War as it is a weapon present in Modern Warfare and therefore not in line with the setting of the last chapter released last November.
If you want to add the Sykov pistol to your armament, you just need to complete a fairly simple challenge, namely by making 4 kills using pistols in 5 different games. The challenge will be present in both Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare. Needless to hide it, those who own this last chapter will have a huge advantage given that in battle royale it may be difficult to make such kills during your games. For this we advise you to take advantage of the Swag or Rebirth mode. In fact, these two are the only ones that require a respawn.
The Sykov pistol, according to the most experts, turns out to be an excellent secondary weapon. In addition to being an extremely fast weapon, it is possible to mount an 80-round magazine on it, which makes it extremely lethal and excellent in the most agitated situations. For any news and additional information regarding Call of Duty Warzone, we invite you as usual to follow our pages.

'Call of Duty: Warzone': How to Become a Zombie and Skull Icon Explained
Call of Duty: Warzone received a sneakily substantial update Thursday afternoon, adding the Sykov full-auto pistol to battle royale and Modern Warfare alike. But, perhaps more interesting than that slightly bugged weapon unlock, is the fact that player-controlled zombies have returned to Verdansk. In this no-nonsense guide, we'll explain how to become a zombie and what that new skull icon in the top-right corner means for your matches.

How to turn into a zombie in WarzoneAs soon as you open up the latest version of Warzone's minimap, you'll notice Prison and Shipwreck have large red circles around them. This means they're considered containment zones and are home to a unique type of radiation not available anywhere else on the map. That radiation is essential to spawning as a zombie.
As seen in this screenshot, approaching either Prison or Shipwreck immediately occupies your screen with a green haze effect similar to the traditional Verdansk gas cloud that expands over the course of a match. It still ticks off damage from players like always, but it does so at a much slower rate than the traditional cloud. That rate can also be slowed down even further with help from a Gas Mask, just like always.

Raven Software/ActivisionIn order to respawn in the game as a zombie, you must die in this special radiation cloud. The only exception to this rule is that at least one other player on your team must also be alive for you to become a zombie, which means you won't find any zombie activity in Solos queues.
Zombies control identically to the iteration used during the Haunting of Verdansdk Halloween event late last year. They have access to a Charged Jump, Gas Grenade and EMP Blast, and typically eliminate their foes with a persistent melee scratch attack. They're also immune to the Verdansk gas cloud as well, which could be leveraged as an effective strategy when coordinating with the human members of your squad who are still fully alive.

For those who still haven't figured it out, that number indicates how many player-controlled zombies are live on the map. As that number potentially increases over the course of a match, be prepared to encounter some rather atypical Warzone gameplay.
These zombies are harbingers of craziness to come, as Call of Duty social media channels have announced 'the end is near,' with a major event set to take place April 21 at 3 p.m. EDT. The long-fabled nuke is presumably about to make its way to Verdansk, ushering in a completely new era of Activision's virally popular battle royale.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
