Black Ops 6 & Warzone leak reveals return of iconic AR & sniper rifle
It wouldn’t be Verdansk without the weapons that dominated the original Warzone map, and the latest leak revealed that they will be returning for the remake.
Rumors point to Warzone’s original map,Verdansk, making a long-awaited return in Season 3. Based on theSeason 2 ReloadedBattle Pass timer, we expect that update to go live on March 20.
Fans weren’t sure if this would be a faithful remaster or remake, but a leak revealed it will closelyresemble the original 2020 version. In saying that, there will be a few key differences, such as the Stadium roof and Train Station interior being closed.
Yet, while the POIs and game modes played a massive role in making Verdansk so memorable, the iconic weapon pool also set that era apart with guns like the Grau 5.56 and HDR.

Verdansk served as Warzone’s primary map from 2020 to 2021. The Grau 5.56 and HDR were the two most popular weapons during that year-long run.
Neither gun has re-appeared since Modern Warfare 2019, butCharlieIntelreported, “The Grau and HDR weapons are potentially returning to Call of Duty: Warzone with Verdansk, per sources.”
In addition, CharlieIntel revealed, “Data-miners have also found references to the original Roze Operator potentially returning as well.”

If the Grau 5.56 and HDR perform anywhere close to how they did in MW 2019, they will take over the battle royale’s long-range meta.
The Grau 5.56 AR boasted exceptional mobility and range and was extremely easy to use, thanks to a controllable recoil pattern. Meanwhile, the HDR was a devasting sniper rifle capable of one-shot killing enemies from long distances.

Both weapons were fan favorites and are remembered fondly, but the same can’t be said about the controversial Roze operator skin.
In 2021, players urged the devs to remove the“pay-to-win” skinbecause the outfit was too dark and made it easy to miss enemies in the shadows.
