With Warzone's recent playlist update, the fan-favorite mode Plunder has been removed from the active pool and replaced by Lockdown. While some are delighted at the latter's return, others are quite disheartened with the formal's removal. Unlike typical Battle Royale modes, Plunder takes a different approach and is extremely popular among fans of the shooter,

Plunder's objective is pretty straightforward: the first team to collect $1 million cash in-game wins the match. The respawns are infinite, which is a great way to unwind for those tired of the intense Battle Royale matches where every move counts, and it can be quite challenging to be the last man/team standing.

Thus, it wasn’t surprising that a few met the mode's removal with disappointment. Hence, in this article, we’ll take a closer look at the possible reasons for Plunder's removal and when it might return to the active pool.

Note: Some aspects of this article are speculative.


Why was Plunder removed from Warzone?

The developers didn’t reveal the exact reasons for removing Plunder from Warzone. However, this is likely a part of their weekly playlist update. Call of Duty is famous for switching up its playlist by introducing new modes or bringing back the old ones. This trend will likely continue in the days to come.

Hence, for fans wondering when Plunder might return, it is quite uncertain at the moment. But it can be assured that the mode isn’t being permanently removed from Warzone. It might return with next week’s playlist update if the community demands it and the developers deem it fit. One can say that with future playlist updates, the mode will certainly return on its own or replace another one, such as Lockdown.

Fans who loved the mode have expressed dissatisfaction with its removal, citing several reasons. Some fans claimed it was great for content creation, while others said it's a better way to level up one’s weapons and challenges. Since the game mode usually took place on Urzikstan, it let players go about their ways and rack up the cash as early as possible to win.

And no respawn limit lets players quickly rejoin the fight after death.


That covers everything there is to know about Plunder's removal from Warzone and when it might finally return to the game.
