To mark the 20th anniversary of , precious metal specialist PAMP is bringing limited edition silver and gold bars onto the market.
5,000 gold bars and 15,000 silver bars – that’s how many examples of a collection the Swiss manufacturer PAMP () produces. The collectibles, officially licensed by Activision Blizzard, including an embossed game logo and Captain Price artwork, are delivered in a case – including a code for an exclusive in-game item for use in .
The collection is sold through specialized precious metal retailers – orders can be placed immediately. The price is – depending on the dealer – around €490 for the gold version (5 grams) and €138 for the silver bar (1 ounce = approx. 31 grams); Added to this are the corresponding shipping costs.
For comparison: an ordinary 5 gram gold bar costs around €320 from reputable dealers – 1 ounce of silver can be had for just €30. The premiums for the series are therefore significant.
How can that be? Precious metal expert and author Jürgen Fröhlich from the Goldreporter.de portal classifies the offer:

Despite all the criticism thrown at Call of Duty, its developers have consistently released quite a few seasonal additions – and Warzone Season 2 is packed.
Between the new events and the simple addition of the Battle Pass, there’s the small matter of the return of Fortune’s Keep, improvements for PC players, and the debut of Resurgence’s ranked play for Warzone.
What’s new in the second season of Warzone?
This happens to be a pretty good season for a Warzone player. While there are plenty of limited-time events, the big addition is Fortune’s Keep and its new ranked play format.
The map returns with some surprising new features, including retractable bridges that feel reminiscent of those found on THE FINALS maps.
It wouldn’t be a Call of Duty season without new weapons either. There’s a BP50 assault rifle and a RAM-9 submachine gun that can be found in the Battle Pass, but the Subverter APS Battle Rifle can also be obtained through a new weekly challenge. The Soulrender sword will also appear at some point in the season.
There are also Walking Dead operators, although fans didn’t seem too interested in these operators prior to launch. Maybe they’ll like the undead.
Full Warzone Season 2 patch notes
Here’s the full rundown, according to the Call of Duty Blog.
Maps:
Fortuna’s Fortress (Return map)
Welcome back to Fortune’s Keep! How has the island changed?
Retractable bridges
There are currently three retractable bridges over gaps in the collapsed roadways.
They are not portable, but can be extended or retracted across a gap in the road using a small control console, one on either side of the bridge.
The controls respond to more than just melee interaction, in case you want to activate the bridge from a distance.
Ranked play:
We’re excited to bring Ranked play to Call of Duty: Warzone this year, bringing the competitive experience to the popular, action-packed Resurgence game mode for the first time.
Like our previous Warzone Ranked release, Warzone: Resurgence Ranked will use competitive settings developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, along with input and support from our partners at Sledgehammer Games.
Ranked Play Warzone: Resurgence aims to provide a competitive and fair play system while striving to provide a consistent experience similar to other Resurgence modes. To achieve this, Resurgence’s ranked game launches with initial restrictions and gameplay changes.
Limited content will be re-evaluated each season, with content likely to be reintroduced following tweaks or balance adjustments.
We constantly monitor the state of the game and react to live situations on an ongoing basis.
Preparations for the ranking start:
Start matchmaking: During the launch of Resurgence Ranked, skill division matchmaking restrictions will be relaxed, allowing players who climb higher skill divisions faster than the rest of the population to find matches.
Matchmaking in the Skill Division will continue to allow players with high skill levels to compete in matches appropriate to their skill level. As more players reach higher divisions, we will begin to tighten matchmaking parameters.
Parties prepared in advance are still subject to the Party SR Restrictions set out above.
The set of ranking rules can be found on the Call of Duty blog, as well as a full description of the skill and division rankings.

Season 2 is packed with events allowing players to earn limited-time cosmetic loot.

Call of Duty is one of the brightest and most recognizable shooters, which at one time became one of the brands that popularized war games and made a huge contribution to the development of the gaming industry as a whole.
But sometimes the best borrow ideas that are the most popular in the world, and after the stunning success of PUBG, the developers from Activision decided to adopt the experience of the royal battle, but make it simpler and more dynamic, so that players receive Call of Duty boosting in fast and interesting matches, and not have been looking for enemies for hours and only squeezing the key game area can make them move towards each other.
Think about your landing spot
Each game map is unique in terms of places where there are a large number of valuable starting resources that you need to fight for, or, on the contrary, avoid, knowing that this is where the fiercest first battles will take place.
If you are confident in your shooting, then you can, on the contrary, more actively land at points with loot in order to train your collection speed and accuracy and focus on a quick battle that will decide the outcome of the entire match – you will either die quickly, but gain experience, or survive and get CoD boosting.
Try not to land on the very edge of the map in any of the four directions, because the zone will sooner or later begin to shrink, and if you are far on the edge, then you will need to run very quickly to a safe zone, and you risk losing a lot of health and resources and getting a bullet from an attentive player who will notice your haste in advance.
Avoid landing places where there is no starting weapons at all – choose points either where there is a lot of loot, and it can be taken with battle, or just normal places where there will be a minimum of enemies around and the opportunity to collect your starting weapons and accessories for starting battles, including and medicines and armor restoration modules.
Learn to quickly collect loot
When you play matches against other players, and not AI, then every second counts, and if you want to really get MW3 boosting, and not die during collection, then you need to learn how to quickly analyze and collect your loot and run away from the point, holding in the head that there are a lot of enemies around you.
The principles for determining the value of objects are quite simple:
You need assault rifles as an element of stable and long-range weapons.
Look for scopes and other useful accessories that will help you aim better and see the enemy in advance.
Collect medicines and armor modules – they will help you recover after heavy battles.
Collect grenades – they will help knock enemies out of shelters and rooms and will delay the enemy if you urgently need to leave the battlefield.
Even if you spend a long time studying the objects that you managed to find, do not stop listening to your surroundings, because most often you can actually hear enemies and in order to be ready for battle, you need to accurately determine the degree of danger and, of course, learn to collect loot faster.
Learn to make decisions quickly
Players who easily adapt to changes and make the right decisions win matches much more consistently and receive boosts in CoD MW3.
To learn this, the main thing is to keep in mind the philosophy that it is better to make the wrong decision than not to make anyone – this way you will gradually learn from personal experience to act quickly, confidently and, over time, correctly.
You will need to adapt to changes and narrowing of the map in order to immediately advance to the place where the final battle will take place from favorable positions, or respond in a timely manner to new dangerous zones contaminated with gas, or which are suddenly exposed to artillery fire.
The same applies to spontaneous battles – when fussy players begin to run unprincipled and die without cover, or shoot right away but miss due to nerves – an experienced and smart player analyzes the situation and tries to move around the territory so as to always be able to take the fight on favorable terms.
Use a system of buildings and shelters
In Call of Duty, there are many points and opportunities to fight from cover, simply peeking around the corner to shoot without exposing all the vulnerable parts of the character to enemy fire.
Use sneak attacks and strafes to escape from fire, hide behind buildings, rocks and vehicles, change positions to survive Warzone mode and advance to the top rankings.
Always keep a supply of ammunition and medicine
You never know how the outcome will develop on the game map, so you always need to save at least some resources for the final stage, in case of a battle without the opportunity to replenish your equipment.
You need a couple of magazines, grenades, medicine and pieces of armor, and you will be able to complete the match in your favor.
Always practice your AIM and headshots
In all shooters, headshots play an important role, and your AIM needs to be upgraded with an emphasis on shooting at heads, and not sprays and other resource-intensive methods that are difficult in long-distance battles.
To shoot well, you need three factors:
Reaction
Accuracy
Character control
The reaction will help you target the enemy in a timely manner, especially if you saw him spontaneously.
Accuracy – everything is simple here, but not only based on the principle of hit-and-miss, but the connection with the reaction, when you point the sight or front sight at the target with lightning speed and pull the trigger, hitting in 9 out of 10 cases.
Character control helps you better choose positions for successful shooting, ensure safe gameplay and create successful conditions for yourself, including headshots.
Spray and crossfire can and should also be trained, but remember that they are used at close ranges and consume a lot of ammunition, but if you train this skill, then most of their fired bullets will reach the target and your shootout will be won.

It had many references to Mexico as a large part of its history was developed in the country. The Mexican Valeria Garza was one of the main antagonists of the campaign. Better known as ‘El Sin Nombre’, leader of the Las Almas Cartel, she was once part of the Special Forces together with Alejandro Vargas.
This operator who we first saw in Season 3today he received a skin that pays tribute to his origins: he is inspired by the Aztec culture of Mexico.
Valeria Garza as Jaguar Warrior
Starting today, the “Ocelopilli” bundle for Valeria is available in the Call of Duty store, which includes objects that refer to the jaguar warriors of the Mexica culture. In addition to the costume that includes a plumed jaguar helmet and green stone decorations, the following is added:
‘Great Warrior’ weapon project for the Kastov 545 rifle

Both weapon skins have decorations alluding to the Mexica. To finish off the outfit, the Macuahuitl could not be missing, the wooden weapon with obsidian blades carried by the Mexica warriors. While there is no way for Valeria to use a Macuahuitl instead of the assault rifles, this legendary piece of mexica military attire is included as an amulet.
The bundle also features the ‘Water Curse’ vehicle skin, ‘Jaguar Strength’ decal, and ‘Jaguar Bite’ emblem.
This is what Valeria Garza looks like in her Jaguar Warrior outfit.
How much does the Call of Duty Ocelopilli lot cost?
You can purchase this package for a total of 2400 CoD Points, which is equivalent to 19.99 USD / 400 MXN.
We remind you that their fourth season premiered on June 14 with plenty of news.
