How does the new Plunder work in Warzone 2?

This is what Plunder is all about: This new game mode is all about money. Teams jump off at the start of the game as usual via Al Mazrah or Ashika Island. However, the subsequent priority now is not to eliminate all opponents as quickly as possible, but to collect as much money as possible. Admittedly, this also works when you kill enemies - but more about the methods of collecting money later.

The team that has collected the largest amount of money after a timer expires wins the round. The money can be carried by the man or woman after the timer expires. Or you can secure a large portion with the help of balloons or helicopters. If you are killed, you lose all your money, but spawn again after 15 seconds. However, if you collect over $2 million, you trigger an extension where other teams get a chance to finish off the winning team.

Money in Warzone 2's Plunder isn't just needed for winning, though. You also use it to buy weapons, items, and tools like the Extraction Balloon.

Plunder explained TL:DR:

  • Play on normal Battle Royale map
  • Players have to collect money and complete various activities for it
  • There is a respawn timer of 15 seconds.
  • Match goes to time, until then as much money as possible must be collected

All players chase the cash in loot money!

These are the innovations of Plunder - differences to Warzone 1

Money & Earning: As mentioned above, there is a new maximum limit for money. Instead of collecting one million dollars as before, teams can now scrape together two million in cash. Only then does overtime start, which lasts four to five minutes.

There are also now far more ways to earn money. In Warzone 1, passed out of taking down enemies and completing missions. Now you can improve your bank balance with the following methods:

  • Kill enemies
  • completing missions on the map
  • Participate in in-game events
  • Clean fortresses
  • Complete Blacksites

New events in Plunder: A brand-new feature for Plunder in Warzone 2 are the in-game events that occur during an ongoing game. Call of Duty developers have already revealed the names of all the events, but only to one we know the content. All the events in Plunder are:

  • Blood Money - If the event is active, you will get double the amount of money for killing and looting players.
  • Cannon Fodder
  • Contractor
  • Choke Hold

New Ranks for Winners: Instead of Platinum, Gold, and Silver, there are all-new - but more importantly - Ranks in Warzone 2's Plunder mode. The more money you have collected, the higher your rank at the end of a match. However, in our eyes, the new ranks are rather cryptic and don't immediately say "you were that good". Anyway, here are all the ranks in Plunder, sorted from highest to lowest:

  • Champion Plunderer - $2,000,000 up.
  • Ring Leader
  • Heist Lead
  • Dualrunner
  • Pillager
  • Thief
  • Bandit
  • Burgler

New purchase system & insurance: In Plunder of Warzone 2 you will soon be able to make use of two new hedges:

  • Credit Card - Gives a 10% cashback bonus.
  • Life Insurance - Must be purchased, in exchange you keep 50% of your money after death.
