Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's new map has a rat problem Shock and gnaw. News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 1 Jul 2020 6 comments Call of Duty: Modern Warfare added a new map with this week's mid-season update - and it's got a rat problem. Exploding rats, that is. The Cheshire Park map, a classic three-lane map set in a lovely part of London, has a cool Easter egg it didn't take the Call of Duty community long to find at all. THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD. In the middle of the map there's a statue of the Pied Piper, the titular character of the German legend. The Pied Piper can mean only one thing: rats! It turns out the map has five mouse traps scattered around the place, seemingly at random. Only one spawns at a time, so you have to shoot one trap to make the next spawn. Shoot all five and a piece of cheese spawns at the location of the last trap. Pick that up. The game then spawns a wheel of cheese, again in a random location. Hunt that down and pick it up. Take the cheese back to the Pied Piper and offer it to the statue, via button prompt. I know, I know, I camembert this, either. The traps and cheese seemingly spawns at random. Cheddar get looking. Once you've placed the cheese wheel beneath the statue, the Pied Piper will blow out a tune of bubbles, summoning an army of rats. These rats then explode in a colourful cacophony of confetti. Gouda job, soldier! Modern Warfare bills itself as a super serious military shooter, but since launch it's let its hair down with some silly character and weapon skins and plenty of fun Easter eggs. This one, though - this one's brielliant. Become a Eurogamer subscriber and get your first month for £1 Get your first month for £1 (normally £3.99) when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
