Warzone 1.69 Patch Notes (New Map, Weapons, & Operators)
New Map: Fortune’s Keep
Fortune’s Keep map is a luxurious and timeless island, where the amount of danger and action is second only to its riches. It is roughly the same size as Rebirth Island and features four distinct points of interest:
Town
An old fortress sits in the town’s center, inviting Operators in for intense combat with its bell tower that commands this section of the map. Other notable sections include a coastal path with a gazebo, and a Graveyard that seems to have been grave-robbed multiple times over.
Smuggler’s Cove
Smuggler’s Cove is loaded with supplies, including Gas Masks that could be helpful in case of a Circle Collapse. Be prepared to explore the twisting Sea Caves, Grottos that see sunlight shine through massive holes in the earth, a small collection of fishing huts, and a lighthouse.
Keep
The Keep is a medieval fortress now converted into the mercenary’s headquarters and hideout.
Winery
A laidback complex inspired by traditional three-lane maps, the Winery serves up plenty of scavenging opportunities and intrigue. Head to the Cellar to stock up on supplies, or travel over to the nearby Camp that contains a helipad and multiple military tents.
