Gleichzeitig wurde eine Beta für den neuen Modus "Warzone Firefight" angekündigt. Dieser neue Modus wird offiziell mit dem Sommer-Update zur Verfügung gestellt. Um den Modus zu testen, wird im Zeitraum vom 14. bis 18. April 2016 eine Beta-Phase stattfinden. Dieser kooperative Kampfmodus führt Teams von bis zu acht Spielern gegen eine Horde KI-Gegner. Dabei wird in Form von Wellen die Aufgabe für die Spieler immer schwerer. Wir dürfen also gespannt sein, wie umfangreich der Modus in der Beta getestet werden darf.
