Warzone season three has brought back the iconic Resurgence map Rebirth Island. The remake is a faithful remaster, but that didn’t stop the devs from adding a few new surprises like biometric scanners.

For the first time since November 2022, Rebirth Island has finally re-opened its doors to players in Warzone season three. The map remains mainly unchanged from the original, but the devs added one new POI, dynamic weather, swimming, and a public event that destroys parts of the environment. Rebirth Island also has a few new features, including biometric scanners.

There are 10 biometric scanners around Rebirth Island that can be located in communications facilities. Once per match, the scanners are activated, and players can use them to receive a keycard placed directly in their backpack. The cards can then be used to unlock a special menu in any Rebirth Island buy station. There are six different rarities of keycards that can be dropped from a scanner, as listed below:

  • Bronze (common)
  • Silver (relatively common)
  • Gold (uncommon)
  • Platinum (rare)
  • Polyatomic (very rare)
  • Orion (incredibly rare)

In a March 27 blogpost, Raven Software explained players have a higher chance of getting a better keycard if a squad mate is nearby during a scan. The probability also increases if players repeat the scanning process the following real-life day. If you’re lucky enough to get to a buy station with a keycard, here’s a list of the possible rewards based on the rarity.

  • Bronze: Random ammunition, Cash ($), Armor Plates, Lethals, and Tacticals.
  • Silver: Random ammunition, Cash ($$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package.
  • Gold: Random ammunition, Cash ($$$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package, Armored Vest, Field Upgrade.
  • Platinum: Random ammunition, Cash ($$$$), Armor Plates, Lethals, Tacticals, Perk Package, Armored Vest, Field Upgrade, Killstreak.
  • Polyatomic: Classified free equipment selects at the Buy Station, and classified Weapon.
  • Orion: Classified free equipment selects at the Buy Station, classified Weapons, and more

The devs also confirmed players can earn a new weapon camo and other rewards for subsequent but nonconsecutive visits.
