Welcome to the Pacific! A paradise for combat on an incredible scale… Caldera is ready for all game styles, combat your way to the final circle as you enjoy the great views of the Pacific Ocean and tropical foliage around the Island. – Caldera

Deep underneath Downtown Verdansk, the CIA’s most elite task force uncovers a German World War II bunker on August 24, 1984, after dealing with Stitch. Following the sounds of a potential intruder within the tunnel system, they find a bunker with intel from a bygone era, along with the familiar voice of Captain Butcher mocking the task force for their lack of stealth. In charge of the secret British Special Operations Executive during World War II, Butcher created multiple Special Operations Task Forces including the original group, Vanguard – to ensure the total elimination of Axis forces that escaped following the war. Adler, Woods, Mason, and Hudson stand down to hear this story, one that echoes their mission of eradicating Perseus once and for all… And they learn that it all started in the Pacific.


Caldera comprises 15 huge, distinct areas that are primed for combat. From the Agricultural Center to the lush, deserted remains of the Royal Cabana Resort. Discover Caldera for yourself!



shipment

A few Memorable Locations can be seen around the map, Makin from World at War can be seen just outside the Beachhead location on the eastern coast. The building layout from the original Zombies map Nacht der Untoten can be seen at the large building next to the runway. A fan-favorite map Shipment can be found hidden in the Docks sections of the map.


Caldera outside

Outside this large Battle Royal map is the Pacific Ocean, players will see many small islands that surround the large Caldera Island. The outskirts have some nice beaches, jumping into the water will just kill you, sun is shining and the sky has some cloud coverage but the sun is shining just enough to allow some good view around the map.


gamemodes

Many Gametypes can be selected, Experience planes and weaponry fit for battle in the heart of the Pacific during 1944 in Vanguard Royale or play with all weapons in standard Battle Royale.

starting a match

The Match Starts after a short time in the pregame lobby where players can practice until the lobby is full, after the lobby is full the players will be able to drop into the battle and try to take a win.

Collapse

A Circle Collapse is a poison gas that slowly closes in the map, shrinking the playable area starting from a random location and damaging all in its path. To survive, players must avoid the gas or find and equip a Gas Mask that only gives an extra 12 seconds of survival time in the gas. Always use the gas to your advantage, follow the outskirts of the gas, or keep close to the center.


gulag

Gulag now gives you more than a second chance at victory, any player who wins a Gulag will drop back in with the weapon – or weapons – and lethal equipment given to them during that deadly duel.

anti air turret

In total, there are 10 Anti Air Turrets in Caldera, the main purpose for the turret is to shoot down Fighter Planes flying overhead but these powerful weapons can also be used to shoot enemy targets. Don’t let these turrets fool you, they are very powerful but also very hard to control and keep aim on enemy Fighter Planes.


Vehicles

gas mask

Gas Masks won’t interrupt as many actions as they did previously, making it easier to pull your mask off or on, as well as plating up or reloading a weapon while getting out of the Circle Collapse – but still always favoring the combat advantage to those safely inside the circle.


portable decontamination station

water

While Operators aren’t getting their sea legs in Caldera, they are now able to wade through shallow Water seen in areas like the Lagoon.

Crouch in knee-high water and you gain the effects of Cold Blooded, but you cannot go prone.


gas can
