With season two's arrival on February 15, the gulag will no longer make players team up in pairs of two after suffering defeat on the battle royale map. Instead, as in the original Warzone, it will now focus on 1v1 skirmishes.

The Gulag system in Warzone 2 is a second chance for players who have been eliminated once. When you die in the game, you get a chance to fight for survival against another operator in an enclosed map. The winner of the 1v1 fight is redeployed back into the game, while the loser is eliminated permanently.
