That\u2019s due to their sheer variety of engagement opportunities, like navigating through the maze of barracks looking for loot, hiding between pallets of timber, or battling across sky bridges above train tracks; these all sound like key areas we should check out to get a feel for Verdansk\u2019s variety.

Even if I may stumble my first time exploring Train Station or Lumber, you can bet I\u2019m going to be looking for ways to establish my own foothold in these \u201cnew\u201d areas on repeated visits.<\/p>\n<p>The official Call of Duty Blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.callofduty.com\/blog\/2025\/03\/call-of-duty-warzone-verdansk-map-return-intel-drop#Tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">also highlights that popular fan-favorite hot-drops will return<\/a>, including the top of\u00a0Dam, the roof of Hospital, the Superstore, and the remote Karst River Quarry. We\u2019re told these are key spots to hit up if you\u2019re looking to quickly get into battle and it feels like this is likely to be the case again &#8212; might be worth prioritizing these areas on your first drops into Verdansk if you\u2019re looking for a fight. Personally, I\u2019m a bit more cautious. You can find me looting on the outskirts avoiding these areas, at least until I\u2019ve built up some confidence in the map\u2019s layout. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.callofduty.com\/guides\/tac-atlas-verdansk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out the interactive Call of Duty: Warzone Tac-Map on CallofDuty.com to investigate these areas further<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/philfiddyment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BO6-WZ-SEASON-03-RETURNTOVERDANSK-030-5b7043d18bfea0d8917c.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-207753&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:1920,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1080,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Black Ops 6 - Warzone - Verdansk Screenshot&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Black Ops 6 - Warzone - Verdansk Screenshot&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"http:\/\/www.philfiddyment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BO6-WZ-SEASON-03-RETURNTOVERDANSK-030-5b7043d18bfea0d8917c.jpg\" alt=\"Black Ops 6 - Warzone - Verdansk Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-207753\" \/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Black Ops 6 - Warzone - Verdansk Screenshot\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>There has also been &nbsp;fine tuning to bring movement more in line with what players experienced in the early days of <em>Call of Duty: Warzone<\/em>.
