Warzone players baffled by Iron Trials removal and want it back

Activision

Season 5 of Warzone brought one of the community’s favorite LTM to date, Iron Trials ‘84. Despite its success players are mindblown by the decision made to remove it from the game. 

When the patch notes for Season 5 dropped, players were made aware of a LTM called Iron Trials ‘84 that would only be around for a little while.

This mode brought a new twist to Warzone giving players more health, less equipment, and making it harder to purchase utility. This created a skill gap that the player base was in love with.

While the LTM was live the community gave it great reviews and praised how the game played out. So much, that they wanted it to stay forever, but now that it’s gone people are left confused at the decision.

Another person said, “Yeah I agree. I’m hoping they plan on bringing it back as some kind of ranked or competitive mode with the integration. It was the change Verdansk needed.” While Warzone currently doesn’t have a ranked mode, some think Iron Trials can fill that void.

For now, players are left with the hope of it returning and it could as Raven Software did hint that Iron Trials customs will be coming in the future. So there is a chance it can return to the game as a regular mode.
