Summary
- Buy Stations in Call of Duty: Warzone are changing to be more reminiscent of the original version.
- The update will introduce a “redeploy all” option and streamline gear purchasing and respawning.
- Changes aim to refine gameplay mechanics, avoid misclicks, and enhance the player experience.
Call of Duty: Warzone has confirmed that the Buy Station will undergo changes with Verdansk’s return. This update aligns with the ongoing effort to adjust Call of Duty: Warzone’s content and features, aiming to recreate the experience of the original 2020 version as closely as possible.
Like many other games, in its original version, Call of Duty: Warzone featured simpler mechanics that evolved over time to better meet player needs and enhance gameplay variety. One key example is the Buy Stations, which serve as Activision’s free-to-play title primary tool for acquiring essential survival gear, such as streaks and Loadout Drops. Additionally, they provide a way to respawn teammates if they lose their 1v1 battle in the Gulag.

Ahead of its official return next month, Activision unveils the new Call of Duty: Warzone tac-map for Verdansk and confirms all returning POIs.
In a post on its official Twitter account, Call of Duty confirmed with an image that the Buy Station will be undergoing several changes that will be arriving alongside Verdansk in Warzone‘s Season 3, which is scheduled to launch on April 3, 2025. This image shows the updated version of the Buy Station in a vertical format, just as it was in the original game iteration, along with item prices, many of which match the original version – in case their order remains the same.

Additionally, it introduces a new option to revive your entire squad in Warzone with a single button, a feature not previously available in the battle royale title. This update aims to streamline the process of buying back teammates, preventing it from becoming cumbersome or putting players at a disadvantage in high-pressure moments. According to the Buy Station listing in the image shared by Call of Duty, the feature will still offer individual armor plates, along with other essential items like killstreaks, self-revive kits, and Loadout Drops – all of which play a crucial role in the flow of Warzone matches.
Previously, the Buy Station menu had become comfortless to many, especially after shifting away from its long-standing vertical format. This change led to multiple players being frustrated, as the game’s fast-paced and high-pressure nature often led to misclicks – resulting in accidental purchases or failing to revive all teammates before the timer expired, leaving them at a numerical disadvantage. The recent adjustments to this feature align with Activision’s goal of making Verdansk’s return a success in Warzone. By reintroducing familiar content and refining key mechanics, the developers aim to recreate an experience as close as possible to the original version of the battle royale.
