Traveling from Verdansk to a brand new map after almost two years might seem a little bit hard and uncomfortable for players, but all you need is to play it several times and soon you will get to know the map as much as you knew every alley in Verdansk.

That being said, if you cannot jump into the new map right now, that's probably because you don't own Vanguard. But there is no need to worry as it is only a limited-time exclusivity.

Do You Need Call of Duty Vanguard to Play Warzone Pacific?

Yes and no! If you want to play Warzone Pacific 24-hours earlier, which is right now, then you actually need to own Call of Duty Vanguard. However, if it's not a big deal for you to wait 24 hours more, then you will be able to play Warzone Pacific from tomorrow with no need to get Call of Duty Vanguard.

Call of Duty Warzone is available for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Caldera Pacific map is a free replacement for Verdansk and you need to pay nothing to play it from December 9.
