In a post on the officialCall of Duty: Warzone 2blog, the developers discussed several changes to gameplay elements in the upcoming title and introduced a brand-new gameplay mechanic, enemy interrogations. Available when playing one ofWarzone 2’s squad-based modes, players can now choose to interrogate downed enemies rather than killing them. Interrogating enemies will briefly highlight the locations of their allies on the minimap and outline their location in the environment, providing a huge tactical advantage.
As part of the overview of the new mechanic, the developers explain how they’ve worked to keep interrogations from being overpowered. Downed players will have the ability to call for help while being interrogated, marking their location for their teammates, with the effects from successful interrogations ceasing if the downed player dies or is revived. This should help ensure that interrogating enemies comes with a level of potential risk equal to the possible reward. Other gameplay changes covered in the post include new circle collapse modes, and more information about the controversial change to a2-v-2 Gulag inCall of Duty: Warzone 2.
The introduction of the new interrogation mechanic inCall of Duty: Warzone 2gives players a whole new way of gaining a tactical advantage in the online shooter and could help further differentiate the title from other battle royale games. Weighing the risk of whether interrogating a foe is worth potentially drawing the wrath of their teammates should add a new layer of tension to gameplay. No matter how gamers choose to play the upcoming shooter, though, they’ll want to make sure they have room forWarzone 2’s massive install sizebefore the game’s release.
