What is the Warzone Operation Monarch limited-time mode?

The Warzone Operation Monarch event start time is May 11 to May 25 and sees the movie monsters Godzilla and King Kong arriving on the island. They'll patrol, attacking at random with players battling to take control of them to use their abilities as killstreaks. There are also rewards like charms and calling cards to win for competing in the mode.

How do Godzilla and King Kong work in Warzone?

Both Godzilla and King Kong will appear as giant monsters on Caldera, with Godzilla patrolling around the outskirts of the island, while King Kong jumps around the land.

In terms of attacks, Godzilla will use his heat ray breath to occasionally torch areas on the island. The effect is similar to a Precision Airstrike, with red circles appearing on the mini map to show where it's going to land. King Kong on the other hand will leap around the island destroying and vehicles or killing players he comes into contact with. Even just touching him will put you into a downed state so it's best to steer clear.

How does Operation Monarch work in Warzone?

The Warzone Operation Monarch mode is a 60 player, quad team game with Resurgence rules. Players will be able to find Monarch Intel in supply boxes or drops, from defeated opponents, and by damaging either of the monsters. Collecting it will unlock killstreaks and Loadout drops.

However, the real aim is to max out the Monarch Intel meter to get a Titan killstreak. This earns one team the S.C.R.E.A.M. Device (a, sigh, "Sonic Communication Radar and Echolocation Array Module"). Using this device you can direct one of the Titans to attack specific areas and use them against enemy players. Specifically, you'll gain control of either Godzilla's heat ray, or a ground pound from Kong.

Only one of these devices can be active at a time.

Titan Frenzy is a risk/reward attack on the monsters in Warzone

During Operation Monarch matches in Warzone, a Titan Frenzy can trigger. This will see both King Kong and Godzilla attack more frequently and unpredictably, following an alert warning.

Player can either run away and play it safe, or attack the monsters when in a Frenzy state - the team that does the most damage will automatically get a S.C.R.E.A.M. device. while runners up will get Monarch Intel that counts to filling their own Monarch Intel meters.
