A new Call of Duty update makes collecting souls easier in both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone during the ongoing Halloween event, The Haunting. For a limited time, Call of Duty fans are able to redeem Halloween-themed rewards by capturing souls from other players.
The Haunting began on October 17 alongside the release of the mid-season update for Season 6 of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone. During The Haunting, players may participate in limited-time game modes in both of the latest Call of Duty titles and earn exciting rewards that may be carried over into Modern Warfare 3. Most notably, The Haunting's Soul Capture event allows players to collect souls from enemy players after a successful kill. These souls may be stockpiled to redeem rewards from the Soul Capture event shop such as weapon camos, stickers, double weapon XP tokens, and charms. However, many Call of Duty fans ran into some trouble while collecting souls in matches due to a limited cap per match and low drop rate.
Call of Duty Fans Want One Classic Feature to Return
Many Call of Duty fans want a classic feature from the original Modern Warfare trilogy to return in Modern Warfare 3 this November.
Following some criticism from the community, the official Call of Duty Updates Twitter account confirms that a new Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone update is now live. The new Call of Duty update increased the soul drop rate and cap per match, allowing players to gather a large amount of souls more quickly during the remainder of the Soul Capture event. Some players claim that the soul match cap has been increased to 18 in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer matches, 25 in Warzone's DMZ and Resurgence modes, and 30 in standard battle royale matches. The Haunting's limited-time modes also include a soul cap of 25 per match.
The overall response to the update appears to be mixed from the Call of Duty community since some of the most prized rewards still require a large amount of souls. For example, Modern Warfare 2's animated Ghoulie camo costs 1,000 souls, and some players believe the update should have launched sooner. The Haunting will end on November 6, so players have roughly two weeks to earn souls and get their rewards before Modern Warfare 3 launches.
Despite the high soul requirement for some rewards, the new Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone update should be helpful for those wanting to celebrate Halloween with some appropriately themed gear. The popular Shipment 24/7 game mode may yield souls more quickly due to the smaller map size, but it's ultimately up to players and their preferred game modes in Modern Warfare 2.
Modern Warfare 3 will launch on November 10, which is just four days after The Haunting ends on November 6. Call of Duty players have roughly two weeks to earn souls and earn their rewards as Activision and Sledgehammer Games make final preparations for Modern Warfare 3's campaign early access release and the full game's launch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone are available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
