It’s been a few years since we last saw Clash appear in Warzone, and Raven Software introduced a few new wrinkles this time around. So, before diving into the deep end without any previous knowledge, here is everything you need to know.
Warzone Season 4 provides plenty of fresh content for you to sink your teeth into. This includes a new POI called The Overlook, a massive skyscraper situated in the Downtown area of Verdansk. Two cranes on both sides of the building give you a sightline over the entire map to cause havoc from above.
Meanwhile, the developers also released an extensive list of weapon buffs and nerfs for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, which overhauls both meta games. It wasn’t all positive, as players are outraged over a gas change that was added to the patch notes after they were released. In saying that, Clash is an exciting addition.
What is Clash in Warzone?
Clash is a 52v52 Team Deathmatch mode that takes place in segmented areas of Verdansk.
Teams are divided into 13 quads, and there are no circle collapses and no last stand benefit that makes it possible to get revived. The first team to reach 500 points by the end of a 15-minute time limit. Here is how scoring works.
- 1 point per enemy elimination.
- 2 points per enemy elimination with Double Down Power Up.
- 5 points per Contract completed.
- 10 points for capturing a Domination Point (Flag).
- 10 points for capturing a Bonus Crate or a Cash Crate.
Quarry, Boneyard, Farmland, and Promenade (East) are the four available locations in Season 4. In addition, the Heli, Cargo Truck, LTV, and Plaris RZR Pro R4 are available as vehicles, and Scavenger, Search and Destroy, and Recon are Available as Contracts.
Search and Destroy is a Clash exclusive contract that challenges one team to plant a bomb on a Buy Station and guard the bomb until it explodes. If the attacking team succeeds, they obtain high-rarity weapons, but the defensive team earns a Fire Sale if they successfully diffuse the bomb.
Clash In-Match Events Explained
Eliminations only reward one point per kill. In-match events make a massive difference in deciding who wins the match. Activision revealed every event and explained how they work.
Domination Points Event: Up to three single-capture Dom Points (flags) appear on the map, and these respawn throughout the match. Much like the Multiplayer Mode of the same name, a team that reaches and captures one of the Dom Points receives a reward; in this case, 10 team points.
Bonus Points Crate Event: A cargo plane flies across the center of the map, and up to four crates are dropped. Teams are likely to head to the crates as they float to the ground, as capturing a crate awards you with 10 team points.
Clash Firesale Event: For the next two minutes, all players can take advantage of a Firesale as two Portable Buy Stations are dropped into the backfield of each team (a total of four). Additionally, all loot crates are restocked, and cash found in crates is also increased.
Cash Crates: Capture one (or more) of the three Cash Crates that drop during this event, and it also nets you 10 team points.
Power Surge Event: For the next two minutes, there’s an increased drop rate of Power Ups when you dispatch an enemy player or loot any ground caches.
Every Clash Mode Power-up
Clash also features five power-ups that can be found in ground loot or dropped by an enemy.
Hunter (Red Aura): Highlights enemies and allies in red and blue respectively. Allies are visible through walls. Applies Tracker and High Alert Perks.- Speed Boost (Yellow Aura): Prevents fall damage and provides approximately 20 percent speed boost to your movement.
- Regeneration Aura (Green Aura): Refills your health and armor at roughly 20 percent per second. Allies within a small radius around you also receive this benefit. The effect does not stack.
- Double Down (Blue Aura): Grants you two points per enemy Operator elimination instead of one.
- Kill Mag (Purple Aura): Refills your active weapon magazine after a kill and quickens your reload.
Additional Clash Features
Along with everything else, Clash features Buy Stations, a new field upgrade called Barricade that blocks a door, the Hand Cannon Killstreak, SAM Turrets to take down vehicles in the sky, a moving train in some areas of the map, and UAV Towers.
Raven Software plans to add more content to the game mode in Season 4 Reloaded.
