In celebration of Verdansk’s eagerly awaited return to Call of Duty: Warzone, players can expect an infusion of nostalgic content to both the battle royale and Black Ops 6. This includes returning operators, iconic weapons, and classic features that aim to revive the thrill of the game as it was in 2020.
Among these notable characters is the infamous Roze, making her way back into the spotlight from the Modern Warfare series. Renowned for her stealthy dark appearance, she is poised to re-enter combat with tactics that can catch enemies off guard. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the R0-Z3 Operator in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Unlocking R0-Z3 Operator in Black Ops 6 & Warzone
To unlock the R0-Z3 Operator in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, players must obtain the Season 3 BlackCell Premium Battle Pass. This $30 pass includes R0-Z3 as an instant unlock along with a treasure trove of exclusive rewards, such as gold and black-themed items, 1,100 CoD Points, an XP Boost, weapon blueprints, and a variety of cosmetics.
It is important to note that the R0-Z3 Operator is exclusively available through this premium Battle Pass, meaning there is no standard version offered in the regular Battle Pass. As a result, unlocking Roze demands a more substantial investment compared to other characters. However, purchasing the BlackCell option offers access to the entire season’s rewards, allowing players to progress and earn various items throughout Season 3.
Understanding the Roze Operator Controversy
During the earlier days of Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare (2019), Roze distinguished herself as one of the most controversial operators due to her Rook skin. This distinctive black skin, unlocked at level 100 in the MW 2019 and Warzone Season 5 Battle Pass, provided a significant advantage by making her nearly invisible in low-light conditions prevalent throughout Multiplayer and Battle Royale gameplay in Verdansk.
As awareness of this advantage spread, the Rook skin quickly became a popular choice, facilitating strategies that relied on stealth and camouflage. In light of these exploits, the developers took action, nerfing the skin three times, particularly during the updates for Verdansk ’84 and Warzone Pacific. Each adjustment aimed to increase its brightness, enhancing visibility against darker backgrounds.
These necessary adjustments frustrated many players who had purchased the skin, as its value diminished considerably due to the change in color from black to gray. This transformation rendered the skin less appealing for competitive play and contributed to its decline in popularity, with players transitioning to other darker skins that emerged in the evolving game meta.
