Meanwhile, some Bunkers in Urzikstan may now have expanded interior with high-level loot and intel about the location of an undisclosed feature. Moreover, there may be secondary Bunker exit hatches, providing your squad with various methods to escape.

You need to use keycards to gain entry to these Bunkers. However, not all of them are accessible.

The Buy Back Royale Solos mode marks its return in season 4. This Urzikstan-only mode disables the Gulag, and instead allows you to return to a match using your cash.

Multiple redeployments are available until the final moments of a match (around the same time the Gulag closes in a regular battle royale match), enabling aggressive strategy and higher eliminations if you have the funds for it.

Meanwhile, a new public event, Runaway Train, gets underway during mid-season, taking the players on an uncontrollable, speeding train sometime around the sixth gas circle.

The safe zone remains over the train until the end of the match, forcing squads to fight around moving carriages.

New perks on Urzikstan in Warzone season 4

The Specialist Perk Package drops at Urzikstan in season 4. Previously exclusive to Resurgence mode on Rebirth Island, this rare ground loot grants you the effects of all 29 perks simultaneously, in addition to the default perks, Tac Pads, Commando Gloves, Quick-Grip Gloves, Climbing Boots, and Overkill.
