5 tips for CoD: Warzone that I would have liked to know before my first round
All tips at a glance
Navigation and education
- Mini map and compass: Use these tools in your HUD for orientation and to give your team useful tips.
- Uses all education tools: Especially in solo it is important that you find and use reconnaissance drones, heartbeat sensors and UAV.
- Opens the parachute early: Mattone recommends opening your parachute quickly when jumping over the map. You will need longer to get to the ground, but you can land far away and get your bearings first.
- Look in the corners: No matter where, never forget to look around the corner before you run into a trap. With grenades you can also drive out hidden enemies.
- Use the deadly gas: You have to be careful, but you can use the gas to your advantage, for example to sneak up on unsuspecting opponents.
- Exploitation contracts: High Risk, High Reward – these are the contracts in Warzone. When you pick up an objective, a signal alerts your opponents to your position. According to Mattone, the loot more than makes up for it.
Fighting tips
- Shoot from ladders: You can shoot with your pistol even when you are climbing.
- Assemble your weapons: If you are behind a suitable cover or on a wall, you can attach your weapon to it with the Z key. Less recoil leads to more precision.
- Interrupt finisher moves: You can interrupt the animation of a finisher and thus save your teammates from certain death.
- XP through lobby kills: Kills in the in-game lobby provide experience and count towards a camo challenge. Mattone recommends dusting these "free XP" in any case.
- Turrets are strong, but risky: While you are dangerous to vehicles and enemies with a mounted tower, your back is unprotected. So a team member should take care of you.
- Practice Revives in Modern Warfare: Mattone recommends practicing Revives timing in multiplayer. He finds Special Ops or Cyber Attack particularly suitable.
Weapons and equipment
- LMG: Because these weapons have a particularly powerful recoil, you should definitely combine them with wall mounts.
- Sniper rifles: Mattone finds these weapons perfect for quickscopes due to their high mobility. His instructions: Run around, look for a target, aim along the visual aid, shoot quickly and repeat the whole thing.
- Gas mask on: At the end of a round in Warzone, gas in Verdansk is your biggest enemy. Mattone recommends that the mask be saved until the last collapse, if possible.

CoD Warzone: The best weapons & important loadout tips
Junk mode
- No gas circuit in plunder: In this game mode, you don't have to worry about the deadly gas.
- Bank robbery is worth it: You can still find some cash in the National Acropolis banks. However, Mattone warns you of the alarm that you trigger and that will attract your opponents.
Important places
- Gora dam offers the best view: Here you have an excellent view and can make life difficult for opponents from a great distance.
- Communication tower at the junkyard: This is the only structure in this place that gives you a height advantage.
- The hills at the hospital: Between the train station and the hospital there are forested hills that offer excellent views of both places.
- Along the rivers: You can drive along the banks of the Gora and Karst rivers to get to Verdansk more inconspicuously.
- Loot at the stadium: Mattone considers the previously inaccessible stadium to be underestimated. At the entrances you can dust off loot properly, but you must make sure you have cover.
- At the prison there are loot and vehicles: However, you must be on guard against snipers entrenched on the walls and in the watchtowers. You should be particularly careful in the yard.
Various tips
- In the gulag: If you land there and your map has a round shower in the middle, use the walls to cover it and bet on close combat. You will find places for long-distance battles in the north and south.
- SUVs offer a lot of protection: Just as many occupants fit in the SUV as in the Tactical Rovers, but offer more protection. However, SUVs are inferior off-road, so they stay on the road.
If cheaters in Warzone make life difficult for you, you can treat yourself to a round of gloating: Landing now is a very special matchmaking hell.
