With the July 28 update, players can step up their game in the Lockdown Zone on both Valley and Northridge maps for a limited time only. With more exciting gameplay and better loot, let's take a closer look at some of the differences the Lockdown Zone offers.

Unlike the normal maps, players must meet certain requirements to access the Lockdown Zone, including a minimum equipment value Koen entry fee. The barriers to entry may seem high, but the potential to earn is dramatically higher. You'll find more high-value containers with better drops and higher odds of running into a boss squads with better gear.

Of course, you'll face more difficult challenges as well. The militants you encounter work in teams. Expect their reaction times to be a little quicker and accuracy a cut above the normal bots. There are also some changes to the extraction points on the map compared to the normal modes.

Only Tactical Ops players can access Lockdown Zones. Impostors will not be able to access Lockdown Zones. To enter a Lockdown Zone, press the Lockdown Zone option below the normal map when preparing to raid.
