On March 10, Call of Duty: Warzone, a free “royal battle” created on the basis of Modern Warfare 2019, was released on PCs and consoles. In short: the game turned out great, which I talked about in a separate text. To get genuine pleasure from Warzone, it’s not enough just to kill enemies or ride jeeps: you need to win matches, and the more the better. After all, it is at the final minutes of the Battle of Warzone that they turn into an adrenaline thrill that causes goosebumps.
In eight days, I have repeatedly won victories in Warzone, because I followed several basic rules. I do not claim that these tips are the only true ones, but they helped me specifically, and I can vouch for them.
Disembarkation
Let’s start with the main one – landing on a card. It’s better to jump out of the plane about 600-700 meters from the desired landing point and fly directly at it with acceleration. Place a mark on the map through Alt to see the distance. As soon as you fly to the ground, the parachute will open automatically, fly literally a meter and you can cut the slings – then the character will fall without damage.
It is important to remember: the parachute will NOT open automatically if you have already cut the slings.
If the distance to the desired landing point is large, then you can cheat: right in flight, tear off the parachute lines – so you get acceleration and will fly forward, like Superman. Then open the parachute and tear off the slings again. Thus, you can fly very far.
Where is it better to land?
The map in Warzone is large and consists of different biomes. There are snow-capped peaks, and spring downtown with neat houses and a fountain in the middle of the square. There are whole sleeping areas with tall buildings, in which there are no elevators and you have to climb stairs. Among this variety, I identified several locations where it is most comfortable to start the game.
Moneyard. In the cemetery of aircraft in almost every destroyed building there is either a chest with loot, or good weapons, plates, money or grenades. It’s convenient to move around the location, so you can quickly connect to an ally in case of trouble.
Superstore. A huge shopping center, literally stuffed with loot and money. If all three players in the squad fall into the Superstore, then each will come out with a minimum of $ 10 thousand and good weapons. A store appears quite often in the parking lot, so you won’t have to run big races. For some reason, the light is also turned off in this center, which can create both advantages and problems for you: you can hide in a rack and watch the enemy, but the enemy can do the same, so look at both.
Airport. The location is very attractive due to the presence of large hangars, in which usually two or three chests with loot appear. The same applies to open planes on the landing strip – there will also be one there. The only inconvenience is the large number of open spaces, so look around and move around shelters.
Hills. In this area, only one location is interesting – a circular street with several private houses and a fountain. Each villa has a lot of loot and boxes, and a store often appears near the fountain. Shooting here is also convenient, as there are many shelters around.
The remaining locations are also not bad, but inferior to those listed. Jumping on Dam and Prison is simply uninteresting, because no one falls there, and it is inconvenient to move there. TV Station and Hospital are huge, intricate buildings that are difficult to navigate and move around. Military Base, Lumber and others are interesting, but not better than my favorites.
Which weapon is better to use?
Players in Call of Duty: Warzone can be divided into two types: those who played Modern Warfare before the release of Warzone, and those who came to the free “royal battle”. The first type of users already has swayed guns and knows their favorites, so the advice for them is the simplest – accumulate $ 6 thousand as quickly as possible and call your own kits to play with your class and feel comfortable.
For the rest, I recommend mastering the weapons gradually and setting up classes, but first you have to use what they give. I advise you to pay attention to the following:
- classic and green variations of the M13;
- blue variation of the SCAR assault rifle;
- all kinds of submachine guns;
- infantry rifles Kar.98 and MK2;
- gray pump action shotgun.
I strongly do not recommend taking crossbows, pistols, revolvers and rocket launchers. The first three are useless, and the last are good only in the first minute of the match for a guaranteed one-shot, then it is better to replace them with classic weapons.
It is advisable that your unit always had a guy with a sniper rifle. Kar.98 with a telescopic scope or MK2 is well suited for this, but in no case do not take the “Dragoons” – it doesn’t even shoot in the head.
Do not ignore grenades
Many types of grenades were useless in the usual multiplayer Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but significantly revealed in Warzone. One of them is scanning. If you throw it into the building, then it will highlight all the opponents at a great distance around itself. Unrealistic useful thing during the assault!
Another cool thing is the heartbeat sensor. It scans an area 40 meters in front of the player and shows the location of the opponents. An incredibly cool thing that will help you move through the dangerous territory.
In general, all grenades in Warzone will be used. The arms of a smoke bomb will help you cross a dangerous area or give a few seconds respite, incendiary and fragmentation ones perfectly smoke opponents from shelters, and with a stunner you can win any duel. Do not ignore the grenades.
Execute contracts in the correct order
Contracts are a cool thing to earn money and entertain yourself on the map if there are no opponents around. They even have a multiplier: if you complete one, then the reward for the next will be higher. However, mindlessly raising one task after another is not worth it, because there are nuances.
I find the most useful contracts for the search for boxes. Firstly, they immediately highlight three cool chests with money, guns and useful little things. Secondly, for the completion of the contract they also give money and gas masks. Thirdly, they are quite easy and quick to perform.
But then it all depends on your playing style. If you are the same scumbag as me, then take the liquidation contracts, jump into the car and go to water opponents. If you prefer to win back a cold-blooded strategist, then give preference to reconnaissance contracts and capture areas – so you find out the location of the next safe zone and get more information.
I note that for contracts for the killing give a lot more money and they can execute for you. If some other squad kills your target, you will still receive money for it. The same applies to those who prey on you: you will receive a reward if you kill the pursuer.
Spend money right
Grandmas are not a problem, especially in Warzone. The cache lies literally underfoot and huge packs fall out of boxes and dead opponents. However, always running around with cash is prohibited by law – you need to constantly spend money. For what? I have a personal rating of the most useful spending in Warzone:
- revitalizing an ally (but only if you play squad with friends, if not, then second or third priorities);
- plates;
- self-resuscitation kit;
- box with their own weapons;
- UAV.
To buy all other goods, I consider it irrational. It is quite difficult to hit with a point strike and cluster bombardment, and they take the place of a much-needed UAV, which will save your life more than once. Drones are worth buying regularly, especially closer to the final stages of the match. Gas masks can be easily found and so, they should not spend money. The same applies to cartridges.
In addition, always keep track of the number of your protective plates and try to keep them at maximum. With this, you can starve the enemy, and generally feel much more confident.
The technique is useful, but not always
Warzone has several types of ground equipment: an ATV, a military jeep, a four-seater SUV and a large truck. I think the most useful SUV, because it has narrow windows and a fairly high speed.
Remember one important thing: the tech player is the most vulnerable creature on the map. At any opportunity, try to leave the car if you have opened fire and there are shelters nearby. Only in an SUV can you feel at least a little safe.
There is also a helicopter in the game. This is the most useful type of equipment on the map, because it allows you to move in relative safety. You can even arrange “ganks” from him, as in “DotA”: we take a contract for liquidation, we take a helicopter, we fly and wet the enemy, we repeat.
And some more tips
Always try to take height and look around. Opponents can come from nowhere, so you should always be alert. Inspect the surroundings, call UAVs more often and feel free to use the scanner. And the fact of height will always give you an advantage.
Always mark opponents by double-clicking on Alt. Even if you play with your friends over voice, always use tags. Sometimes just one second of downtime is enough to die out of the blue.
Once in the same GULAG with an ally, tell him the location of the enemy. Yes, this is unfair, but who said that the good people win?
If you need to put on several protective plates at once, then press the button several times in a row – then the fighter will not interrupt the animation, and you will seriously reduce the time to combat readiness.
