Warzone Nuke Event Timings Guide: When is it going BOOM?

The Warzone Nuke Event is just about here and we’re talking about the timings so you know when things are going to start happening in Call of Duty’s ground-breaking battle royale.

Call of Duty Season Three is right around the corner, but there’s a little something Activision need to deal with before we can carry on with the Cold War.

That’s right, all the weird sh*t that’s going on in Verdansk! We’ve seen a strange Russian container ship, a zombie horde, and now strange Radiation Zones popping up everywhere. It can’t be good and the long-rumoured Nuke Event looks like it’s about to kick off.

LATEST – Stage One: Extraction

Call of Duty have shared new details about what the first stage of the Warzone Nuke Event will be, roughly detailing this according to the timings outlined below.

” It is expected that exfiltration helicopters will arrive across Verdansk after 12:00 today, April 21. Due to the number of aircraft needed for this evacuation and the unusual wind conditions across Kastovia, we only have an estimated time of arrival for the first formation of helicopters, but we expect evacuations to be finished by 14:00.”

 due to the Containment Protocol communication efforts, a system-wide update will need to be done across our network. This will require all Operators to manually update their comms unit (for civilians, their “console”) starting at 21:00 on April 21
