Iron Trials returns to Call of Duty: Warzone on March 3, which serves as the battle royale's "hard mode" for the game's most competitive players. This mode drastically changes the feel of Warzone with faster circle collapses, increased player health, changes to equipment, and more. Here we highlight everything you need to know about Warzone's Iron Trials.
Iron Trials is a mode that was previously introduced on the Black Ops Cold War version of the Verdansk map as Iron Trials '84, but this time the experience is being made available on Warzone's smaller Rebirth Island map in a duos playlist.

Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard & Warzone - Season Two Cinematic Trailer
At its core, Iron Trials is still a battle royale experience built around fighting to be the last team standing, with circle collapses, looting, and unfortunate trips to the Gulag. However, the Iron Trials ruleset tweaks Warzone's standard battle royale formula to provide a much more grueling experience. The ruleset will be similar to the past iteration of the mode, but some adjustments were made for Iron Trials to better fit the smaller and quicker-paced Rebirth Island map.
Matches are also much faster in Iron Trials. The match duration and circle collapses are adjusted with round timers being decreased, while the speed of the circle collapse is increased. Transportation is also scarce in Iron Trials, as ATVs will be the only vehicles on the island.
For equipment changes, stun grenades have less of an impact in the mode, as the stun effect duration is decreased by 50%. Medical syringes are also nerfed with a decreased regeneration rate of 50%, which is a change that is likely made to keep players from relying on syringes to compensate for the mode's decrease to players' health regen rate.

Overall, Iron Trials really does bring an entirely new feel to Warzone, and everyone should give the mode a try to see if it's right for them. Just like Iron Trials '84, Rebirth Iron Trials will award players with a unique and animated calling card for winning a match. A calling card doesn't sound like much, but it might be worth the bragging rights for being victorious in Warzone's most grueling mode.
