‘Name Of Responsibility’ Will get A Wild ‘The Boys’ Crossover In Season 4 Reloaded Plus A New Gulag, 6v6 Map And Extra

Amazon’s hit superhero parody The Boys is getting a enjoyable crossover in Name Of Responsibility: Fashionable Warfare II and Warzone this week. Three of the hit present’s characters can be out there as Operators within the shooter beginning this week with the Season 4 Reloaded replace. You’ll be capable to blast your approach throughout Vondel as Starlight on July twelfth, Homelander on July sixteenth and the mysterious Black Noir on July twentieth. They even held a press convention to announce the occasion:

The Boys crossover doesn’t simply embody Operator bundles, there’s additionally a brand new Temp-V Area Improve. It is a substance within the present that grants regular individuals momentary super-powers, and it’ll do the identical factor in Warzone. Whenever you use the Temp-V Area Improve you’ll be given one in every of 4 powers briefly (that can be extinguished must you use one other Area Improve):

Cost Leap — Prefer it sounds, you’ll be able to cost up and make an enormous leap throughout the map similar to Queen Maeve. You received’t take fall harm, however you’ll inflict splash harm on anybody you slam while you land.

Electrical Shockwave — A strong electrical explosion that offers harm throughout you to each enemy gamers and autos and gear. A Tremendous EMP, principally, which Starlight is thought for.

Laser Imaginative and prescient — That is Homelander’s signature lethal transfer. As soon as activated you’ll levitate into the air and shoot a strong laser beam out of your eyes, devastating something it touches.

Teleport — Hughie will get this energy when he makes use of Temp-V. It teleports you a brief distance, by partitions and different obstructions, which sounds extraordinarily helpful (or annoying if it occurs to you) when flanking or fleeing. Word: You received’t reappear bare—all of your garments and arsenal come alongside for the trip.

In order that’s The Boys crossover. However there’s tons of different new content material headed to each Fashionable Warfare II and Warzone within the Season 4 Reloaded replace together with a brand new map, a brand new shotgun, and plenty extra. Let’s go over the massive additions (I’ll have a separate put up right here on this weblog discussing the patch notes and extra detailed modifications when the replace goes stay).

New Camo Problem

The Boys Operators and another content material goes stay throughout each Fashionable Warfare II and Warzone so we’ll cowl that first after which get away each video games individually beneath.

There’s a brand new diabolical Camo Problem to unlock a pair of very distinctive camos over the subsequent few weeks. There’s the Vought-approved grey camouflage which unlocks for every weapon class as you end it, and the tremendous hard-to-get pink camo pictured above which you can solely unlock by finishing each weapon class problem. These are:

• Assault Rifles: Get 50 Operator headshots
• Battle Rifles: Get 25 Operator kills from behind
• SMGs: Get 250 Operator kills
• Shotguns: Get 30 Operator kills whereas susceptible
• LMGs: Get 30 Operator kills whereas utilizing a suppressor
• Marksman Rifles: Get 30 Operator kills whereas mounted
• Sniper Rifles: Get 3 kills with out dying 10 occasions
• Sidearms: Get 50 enemy longshot kills
• Launcher: Get 40 Operator kills
• Melee: Get 30 enemy kills

AI combatants rely in these tallies, so contemplate Invasion or DMZ to get these kills sooner.

New Shotgun

For those who thought the KV Broadside was dangerous, let me introduce you to the absolutely automated MX Guardian. This highly effective close-quarters monster could be operated in single, burst or fully-auto mode. I don’t even know what to say. It’s horrifying.

The brand new weapon is discovered within the beforehand “Categorised” part of the Battle Go together with a number of different unlocks together with an emblem, calling card, loading display, and a 1 hour double weapon XP token.

Permit me to editorialize briefly: Can we get a particular playlist the place auto shotguns and riot shields are banned, please?

New In Season 4 Reloaded: Warzone

First off, this picture above is The Boys character Black Noir, quickly to be an Operator. A completely black Operator. A camp-in-the-shadows nightmare come true. I’m now having visions of strolling round a nook, not seeing some camper and being mowed down from the shadows by the MX Guardian. Enjoyable occasions!

In any case.

Warzone is getting some cool updates, together with:

• The beforehand talked about Temp-V Area Improve in addition to a brand new Transportable Redeploy Drone Area Improve.
• 72-player Battle Royale mode on Vondel.
• The Occupation Scan occasion (the place it’s a must to lay down when the scan goes off or danger displaying up on the map).
• Alerts Intelligence Contracts, beforehand solely out there in DMZ mode.
• A brand new Gulag map set within the wine cellar of the Vondel fort.

Positively getting unique Gulag / Jail Bathe vibes from this one, although it’s really not as grim a spot as a jail bathe. Wine cellars are happier locations, usually talking. Hopefully they make this Gulag a playable Gunfight map as nicely. We’d like all of the Gunfight maps we will get!

Maybe the largest, bestest replace, nevertheless, is the addition of map rotation to Resurgence mode, which I believe is going on as a result of much more Resurgence maps are headed to the sport. (I actually hope they convey again each Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Hold). Right here’s how the Rotating Resurgence Playlist system works:

Mainly, the out there Resurgence map will present up in-game for a specified period of time and when the timer runs out, the brand new map can be out there. So say you hearth up the sport and see that Ashika Island is at the moment in rotation, you’ll additionally see a timer that exhibits this can change to Vondel in (for instance) 35 minutes. When much more maps are added, they’ll all merely cycle by on a timer on a regular basis, which means we received’t need to go weeks with out Vondel Quads out there. It is a a lot, significantly better system than what’s in place at the moment.

New In Season 4 Reloaded: Fashionable Warfare II

The crown jewel of the Season 4 Reloaded replace is the brand new 6v6 Vondel Waterfront map, which is predicated on the Floating District within the Resurgence map. That is one in every of my favourite areas of Vondel, partly due to all of the water-based fight. Sadly, the multiplayer map has nerfed the water considerably right here and also you received’t be capable to swim beneath the buildings. You’ll, nevertheless, be capable to swim alongside underwater “tunnels” which is cool. Right here’s an overhead view of the small map (yay extra small maps!)

I’m comfortable we’re getting one other MP map with water. In the mean time solely Zarqwa Hydroelectric and Pelayo’s Lighthouse actually make any use out of water, and solely the previous in any vital approach. With all of the hullaballoo round water that Infinity Ward made, I’d actually wish to see it put to make use of extra.

Together with the brand new map, there’s additionally a brand new Raid—the ultimate 3-player co-op Raid, in truth. I performed the very first Raid however haven’t saved up with any of the others because it was simply not my cup of tea, however for followers of the Raids one other one comes out on Wednesday.

That’s just about it for the remainder of the season except Infinity Ward additionally provides the brand new Gulag as a 2v2 Gunfight map, which they need to. They need to additionally remaster and launch a bunch of 2019 Gunfight maps, as a result of I miss loads of these and we’d like extra!

Season 4 Reloaded kicks off this Wednesday, July twelfth and can run for a number of weeks till the beginning of Season 5.
