‘Haunting of Verdansk’ Comes To ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’ And ‘Warzone’
by Sage Ashford
Activision recently premiered Halloween content for their Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone games. The event is part of the game’s sixth season and features the inclusion of two classic franchises: Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw. In Modern Warfare, we get the story of an operator who lost all of his comrades in combat with an urban legend, only to make the decision to return and face the monster all by himself.

For the first-ever Halloween experience inside Warzone and Modern Warfare, the Saw and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre universes are featured in The Haunting of Verdansk, a limited-time event set to take place from October 20 to November 3.
This Halloween-themed event will feature the “Trick or Treat” reward system, where special Supply Boxes may either contain frights or frighteningly good blueprints and personalization items. Come prepared for infiltrations at day or night, as select modes feature a nighttime variant of Verdansk that includes more than a few Halloween-themed frights. Rather spend the night fighting both the living and the dead? Then prepare for Zombie Royale, an undead twist on Battle Royale where dead Operators use unnatural powers to feast on the living in order to rejoin their ranks!
Be ready to don the garb of Billy the Puppet in the Saw bundle and take an enemy operator’s choice to live or die in his own hands. Along with the “Billy” skin for Morte, the Saw Bundle features The Phlebotomozier Lethal Equipment piece, a special throwing knife will drill into your enemies upon impact. And oh yes, there will be blood … if it lands on target.
Rather end your enemy’s game with blood-red tracer fire? Two Saw-themed blueprint weapons – one Assault Rifle and one Shotgun – are included in this bundle, as well as a Cargo Truck skin, tricycle Charm, and four other pieces of personalization content.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre bundle features the iconic crazed killer Leatherface. The legacy of this cannibalistic maniac, whose mad and macabre reign of terror in 1974 was unlike anything ever seen before, is set to live on through the “Leatherface” skin for Velikan, as well as the “Family Heirloom” LMG blueprint, complete with a unique Stock attachment that allows an operator to wield the weapon like a chainsaw. As players are re-introduced to the malice of Leatherface, a clue as to what happened to the notorious murderer may even appear to those with a keen eye.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone are available on Xbox, Playstation 4, and PC.
