Call of Duty: Warzone was launched in 2020 along with a map known as Verdansk. Verdansk had various forms of terrains, from farmlands to mountains and high rises. 

The game was loved by the players and it was really successful. The game brought a revolution in the genre and was a hit among fans.

Despite getting so much love, Verdansk ended up being removed from the game. The iconic map was officially replaced by Caldera on December 8, 2021. This decision was not liked by the fans and its removal from Warzone received a lot of backlash from the community.

Fans of the game wanted the developers to bring back the iconic Verdansk for quite a while now but that has not happened so far. As the last season of the game is now live, thus there is no chance of the map making a comeback. But there's still a way that players can enjoy Verdansk and relive the early days of the game before Warzone 2.0 arrives. 

The map is not a part of the game anymore but if players wish to drop into Verdansk and have a good time with their friends, it can still be done. But there's a minor catch which means players will be able to play it but there won't be a PvP experience.

Here's how to play Verdansk as of 2022:

PC users will at first have to turn on their Battle.net launcher.

They will then have to head into Manage Content.

Then they will have to select Special Ops and let the files download. The file size isn't big (around 25 GB on PC) and the download should be completed pretty quickly. If users already have this mode installed, they can proceed to the next step by launching their game. 

For console users, they can download the Co-op mode from within the game itself. Upon getting to the launch screen of the game, players will have to select Modern Warfare's Co-op mode and not Warzone. Once in the Co-op mode, they will have to navigate to Special Operations. They can choose any mode over there and play Verdansk with their friends. However, this will be a PvE mode and not a PvP mode, as said earlier.

In order to make this method work, players need to own Modern Warfare (2019). And if they already own it then that will help them to get started with Verdansk right away or else they will unfortunately be out of luck. For now, this is the ultimate way through which players can set foot on the grounds of the iconic map once again.

So, this is a really simple way through which fans of Verdansk can enjoy the map with their friends. Its uniqueness lies in the presence of various terrains that did not let players have a single dull moment.

Though everyone's favourite Verdansk might not be coming back to PC and consoles, it might be added to Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile.

Fans are also expecting details about the upcoming Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0, and Warzone Mobile from Call of Duty: Next event this September 15. Modern Warfare 2's beta will begin only after this event.
