Warzone 2 Tempered Plate Carrier - Where to find and how to use

The Warzone 2 Tempered Plate Carrier is one of several new additions making its way to Call of Duty's battle royale. The third season of post-launch content is right around the corner and is expected to be a "new dawn" for the game following numerous game-breaking bugs and glitches.

Alongside the Tempered Plate Carrier, Season 3 comes with an all-new Battle Pass containing the Cronen Squall battle rifle and Alejandro as one of two playable Operators coming to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Elsewhere, the BlackCell bundle adds even more content if you fancy some exclusive content.

Rather than having to equip three plates instead of two, it's much quicker to plate up in the heat of battle with the Tempered Plate Carrier equipped.
