Fans of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Zombies mode will have a new warlord known as Dokkaebi to go after on January 17. This addition is a part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 1 Reloaded update, which will bring plenty of new content to various modes.

Although it isn't perfect, Modern Warfare 3 Zombies has been a hit with many players who enjoy its open-ended approach and plethora of missions, contracts, and other tasks for users to complete. One of the mode's unique features at launch was its Legacy Warlord. This powerful enemy could be hunted down to gain access to high-tier rewards or to complete a story mission. The Legacy Warlord was hidden inside the Zombies map's Legacy Fortress, which the player had to battle their way through before they could attempt to take down the boss. It seems that the mode's newest warlord will have a similar setup.

Call of Duty announced that a new Warlord, known as Dokkaebi, will be in Zombies come January 17. Users will find her at the top of a skyscraper in Zaravan City, where she'll be in a fortress that's guarded by various types of automated defenses like turrets, drones, and a Wheelson. Once past these defenses, players will have to eliminate Dokkaebi herself, a formidable opponent who is skilled at evading her enemies. Similar to the Legacy Warlord, players will be given high-tier loot in exchange for defeating Dokkaebi. Call of Duty described Dokkaebi as a South Korean soldier who is part of Terminus Outcomes, an evil faction within Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.

It's not clear yet whether taking down Dokkaebi will be a realistic pursuit as a solo player, or if a squad will be needed. Some fans have worried thatModern Warfare 3 Zombies is prioritizing squads too much and leaving solo players at a distinct disadvantage. Similar to the Legacy Warlord, it's likely that solo players will need to utilize certain strategies like a pet dog or juggernaut suit.

Additionally, the game has other challenging bosses like Modern Warfare 3 Zombies' Red Worm. Although this boss isn't a Warlord, it can also be taken down in exchange for high-tier loot. Call of Duty's newest Zombies mode has plenty of interesting goals for players to go after. Despite some fans' complaints about the Urzikstan map, it might be surprising to realize how far Zombies has come over the years.

One user made an image comparing the size of Black Ops 2's TranZit Zombies map to Modern Warfare 3's Urzikstan, and the difference is huge. At the time, many users felt that TranZit was gigantic and could even get lost in its impressive scale, but it appears almost tiny when compared to Urzikstan.
