Call of Duty: Warzone fanatics have seen plenty of game modes in the battle royale that have thankfully given some refreshing twists to the genre. In a blog post on Activision's site, the publisher details that Season Five Reloaded (a second helping of new content) will likely bring Warzone's wildest mode yet. Under the name of King Slayer, this version of the game combines older ideas, recently absent, with new features.
Curiously, the battle royale's new mode, according to Activision, is actually a "large-scale team deathmatch." So, suffering a single torturous death does not mean your end. Instead, King Slayer will grant you as many lives as possible, while trying to eliminate one of the top five teams. These high priority teams will be marked as “King” on your minimap. So they can't hide from anyone, but that doesn't mean they'll be easy to take down.
If your team ends their reign you will receive points and with enough points you will also be marked as a “king”. Don't worry, though, as your team will also be rewarded with free killstreaks to keep your lives intact.
All players in this mode will see the return of the deadly moving circle. This will surely be a quick way to remove any comforts for those camping in the leaderboard. Unlike the old temporary modes, however, the circle will not collapse. As the first timed game mode, you will now have to beware of the endgame clock, enemies, and the moving circle.
It's a challenge, no doubt, but still worth a try if your team is known for its number of wins rather than its ability to stay alive. You'll want to jump on it ASAP, with the message that King Slayer will only be available during Season Five Reloaded. It's unclear if this mode will be reinstated later, but Reloaded will be running from August 28 through September 7.
