Zodiac map: Warzone Resurgence guide

Zodiac is a Warzone Resurgence map, not a Multiplayer map. It arrives in Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 on November 6, 2026, alongside Hajin as the other new Warzone map. Activision describes it as “a compact combat zone built around the DRC Advanced Systems drone assembly and manufacturing headquarters”, and the source credits Beenox as its developer.

This is the only map in the Modern Warfare 4 roster without a page of its own in the launch coverage, because it belongs to Warzone rather than to the Multiplayer map set. The Hajin page covers the other Season 1 Warzone map, which spans both DMZ and Battle Royale.

What the official description says

“Resurgence returns with the all-new Zodiac, a compact combat zone built around the DRC Advanced Systems drone assembly and manufacturing headquarters. Fight from the company Admin building through and beneath the central double Trackline with multiple trains, then push toward the R&D facility and shipping docks as squads battle across offices, manufacturing buildings, rooftops, tunnels, and the surrounding shoreline. Expect an explosive tank battle, legendary loot, action across the ground and air, and other surprises to find during your matches.”

The named features that description gives, in the order it gives them:

• The DRC Advanced Systems drone assembly and manufacturing headquarters — the setting the map is built around
• The company Admin building — one end of the described route
• The central double Trackline with multiple trains — the middle of the map, and the feature Activision calls out elsewhere as the map’s particularly tactical addition
• The R&D facility and the shipping docks — the far end of the described route
• Offices, manufacturing buildings, rooftops and tunnels
• The surrounding shoreline
• A tank battle, legendary loot, and action across the ground and air

How the layout plays

Activision’s Beta briefing separates the map’s spaces by the kind of Loadout that suits them, and it is worth keeping that framing because it is the only guidance the publisher gives about the map’s shape.

Close-range Operators can weave between buildings and through the center of the facility, while longer-range Loadouts benefit from rooftops and elevated windows overlooking the facility’s points of interest. Beneath it all, an underground tunnel network offers another way to rotate, flank enemy squads, or briefly disappear before launching the next attack.

The official loadout guidance for the Beta on this map was to choose from AR, SMG, LMG or Sniper Default Loadouts, each of which was default for the Beta period.

How Resurgence works on it

The mode rules come from Activision’s description of Resurgence rather than from a map-specific source: stay alive while your teammates redeploy, eliminate enemies and complete Contracts to shorten your return timer, and outlast every opposing squad to secure the win.

Zodiac was the map that introduced the mode to the Modern Warfare 4 Beta. Resurgence was playable on it during Open Beta Weekend Two, from 10:00 AM PT on Friday August 28 to 10:00 AM PT on Tuesday September 1, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, PlayStation 5, Steam, Battle.net and Nintendo Switch 2. It was also playable on Switch 2 during the Beta, which was the first Call of Duty Open Beta on the platform.

What this page will not tell you

Activision publishes no tac map, marker overlay or named points of interest for Zodiac, and none of the locations in the description above are given as labelled markers. There is no published list of named buildings, no POI inventory, no objective counts, no spawn locations and no minimap layout. The description is prose, and the places it names are its vocabulary rather than an indexed set of points of interest.

The source also publishes no numbers for this map: no player count, no circle timings, no redeploy or redeployment timer, no contract values, no vehicle specifications for the tank it mentions and no weapon or loot tables for the “legendary loot” it refers to. Those are properties of the Resurgence mode and of the Warzone integration as a whole, not of this map, and they are not recorded here.

Activision’s Season 1 announcement schedules a separate Call of Duty: Warzone post and Roadmap for November 2, 2026. That post had not been published when this page was last checked (November 2, 2026), so nothing here comes from it and nothing about Zodiac should be added until that source is read. What the Roadmap adds beyond what the Beta and Season 1 announcements already state is not known yet.
