Call of Duty: Warzone Teases Return of Popular Perk

Call of Duty: Warzone teased the return of the powerful Specialist Bonus perk while also teasing the return of a popular map. Raven Software has made it clear that Call of Duty: Warzone will see plenty of exciting additions in 2024.

Raven previously announced that the two fan-favorite maps of Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island would return to Warzone in 2024.

Both maps are smaller than the typical, mainline Warzone maps and feature reduced player counts. Raven has yet to confirm a release date for Fortune's Keep, but «early 2024» seems to suggest that it should be added within the next couple of months. Alongside these future additions, Raven unveiled another returning feature.

Raven posted an image to its Twitter account that shows a new perk package lying on the ground in the returning Rebirth Island map, with the perk showing the same symbol as the Specialist Bonus perk, which seems to be a clear hint towards its eventual return. The Specialist Bonus perk was an extremely powerful and rare perk that could only be obtained from looting before it was removed from Warzone. Once equipped, it gave the user every perk in the game at once. This would allow Warzone fans to stack all of the game's best perks together, creating a massive advantage over enemies. It seems likely that once it's re-added, the Specialist Bonus perk will be quite rare like it was during its last appearance in Warzone. Raven did not offer a timeline for when this perk would be added to the game, but an early 2024 re-introduction could be possible.

Fans of the popular battle royale's early days might also be excited to learn that Verdansk seems to be returning to Warzone in late 2024. According to leaks, Verdansk will be added during Season 1 of 2024's Call of Duty, which is rumored to be titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War is rumored to take place in the early
