Activision and Raven Software are altering their plans to include the new Covert Exfil feature in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 Reloaded.
Raven made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), promising to rework the Warzone gameplay tweak after announcing it only a few days ago. The team says the decision arrived after seeing fan feedback about Covert Exfil’s inclusion.
However, Raven still feels strongly about the potential the addition could add and isn’t ready to give up on it yet.
“We believe that Covert Exfil and the gameplay loop it provides, paired with the Weapons Case, will make for an exciting addition to #Warzone,” the post explains. “That said, we'll instead launch both of these features in an upcoming dedicated mode.”
Information on how Covert Exfil will be reintroduced is being kept under wraps for now. Raven adds, “We're looking forward to the new challenges that these features will provide and to your continued feedback once the mode is available.”
Covert Exfil was revealed as a feature that essentially allows players to leave a Warzone game early by purchasing one of only a few available exfil opportunities available to players each match. In other words, if you pool your money quickly enough and make it to a Buy Station, you can have a successful game without being the last team standing.
With the added possibility of exfiling with a Weapons Case full of goodies, many players worried that Warzone was becoming less of a Battle Royale and more like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s DMZ mode. Players are relieved to see Covert Exfil plans reversed, but they might be even happier to see that Raven is listening to its fans.
“This reactivity is amazing!” Warzone Loadout said on X. “Good compromise to first test it in a dedicated mode.”
“This is why I love Raven Software,” CPreds said. “Community feedback is welcomed and listened to. Keep up the great work!”
Warzone is meant to be an ever-evolving mode, so time will tell if and when Covert Exfil will make a comeback. Until then, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is set to launch on January 17.
