Players think that Caldera could use a major makeover in the sense ofmoving Points of Interest (POIs)to different locations. One suggestion puts a big area like Capital at the center, to match how Verdansk was with TV Station.

There have been complaints about Warzone matches stalling out and hitting a boring phase after the first circle, and this could be due to the overwhelming amount of quiet areas on Caldera.

When looking at Caldera (left) we can see that the majority of this wasted space covers the middle north side of the map as well as major portions of the east and west. Compared toVerdansk, which according to this graphic only had dead zones on the outskirts of the map.

This could be why players feel that games are going slower on Caldera. One Reddtior said, “Rotations on Caldera suck. There is too much empty space with almost no cover… The pace is unbelievably slow after the first few minutes.”

Another person said, “This is having a big impact on the endgame in Caldera. It causes a slower pace and there always seems to be five times as many teams alive as there were in Verdansk.”
