One of the most popular Battle Royale games out there, Call of Duty: Warzone can be daunting for new players. It has a small learning curve, but this article aims to help you improve your game and become more efficient. Here are some important tips and tricks to get better at Call of Duty: Warzone.

There’s something you can do right from the very beginning to improve your chances at victory. The first course of action is to choose the correct landing spot. This decision depends on your playstyle. If you are a player who likes to be in the thick of things, it's efficient to choose a busier spot. Superstore or Hospital are popular landing spots and see consistent action.

Players should choose their landing spot depending on the location of the circle. The location of the contracts is also an important consideration while selecting the landing spot.

Players should take advantage of any opening they get in Call of Duty Warzone. With 150 players on the field, it can be extremely competitive and sometimes it’s just better to eliminate competition as early as possible. This is why Call of Duty Warzone players have devised the strategy of opening fire on their opponents during parachute drops.

How to open fire during parachute drops in Warzone?

To do so, you need to cut the parachute during your drop for sometime. Players should open fire only after spotting enemy players. Opponents are often unprepared for action during parachute drops and this can give you a big advantage in the game. It can also help you secure better equipment and eliminate competition at your landing location.

The element of surprise is massive in Call of Duty: Warzone. So don’t panic when you see an enemy. Take your time to position yourself and aim properly. Once you are sure your firing will hit the enemy, open fire. 

A confirmed kill is an advantage in more ways than one. For starters, it reduces the number of people who can kill you. Secondly, a long-drawn out gun-battle will attract unwanted attention. So while you are busy shooting at one enemy, you might just become the target of a third player. And we don’t want that.

Get a good read on the situation and shoot only when you are sure you will get a kill. If you are not being spotted, use the time to get closer or in a better position.

It is wise to have a C4 equipped at all times. While its not advisable to use a C4 in a gun fight, it can be a handy tool against enemy vehicles. C4 is the strongest counter to vehicles in Warzone. 

Completing Contracts is the best way to make money. Contracts in Warzone range include Bounty, Recon, Scavenger, Most Wanted and Supply Run. These contracts include tasks such as survival, capturing points, searching for and opening chests and reaching certain nearby Buy stations in time. Fulfilling these contracts gives you a lot of cash money, sometimes they give you special abilities that will be a huge advantage in the game. But do remember that a team will not be able to activate more than one contract at any given time.

Call of Duty Warzone allows you to see your teams’ finances. Teammates’ finances are important in Warzone because they need at least $4,500 at all times to ensure they can revive you. If you hoard all the resources, it does not help you when you are down and your teammates cannot revive you for lack of money.

Players require $4,500 to self-revive, which will save your teammates valuable time. It is also much safer to do so, but only provides more security for your teammates. Share the loot with your teammates as it increases the chances of a victory later in the game.

Using loadout packages is unique in Warzone. Players can always take resources and gear off the ground. And for most purposes, it will work just fine. But loadout packages allow players to curate their gameplay and work more efficiently. One of the priorities for a player after landing is to accumulate 10,000 cash as soon as possible and buy a loadout package. Completing contracts is a very good way of ramping your cash inflow. After securing the money, you should head over to the nearest Buy Station. After ensuring you are safe, call the loadout to equip your custom weapon and equipment. 

When you call in an UAV, you open the tactical map to decide the target. But you can do the same during gun fights as well. This is a neat trick that will give you spatial awareness. You will know where your enemies are in respect to you and it will guide your movement and gameplay.

Players should also make optimal use of their equipment. Using equipment, often times, might mean the difference between an elimination or someone eliminating  you. Land mines, drones, Stopping Power Rounds and Armor plates are extremely strong and get you a kill later in the round.

Your teammate is down, it makes sense to revive him. But in the rush to revive him, players often let their guards down. First, make sure your surroundings are safe and you will not be the target while reviving. Only after you are sure you can revive safely should you go for it. This is very important if you want to get better at Warzone.

The V-sat costs 12,000 cash and is the most expensive item in the game. But it provides an advantage that no other weapon does. It gives you a peek into the location of every single player in the game, even if they have the ghost perk active. Call in three UAVs to effectively get to V-SAT and get your team a huge advantage. Using three UAVs at the same time not only allows you to see the enemy’s location, but also the direction in which they are pointing, in real time.

Towards the end of the game, players usually have a lot of cash. Don’t hoard your cash and make use of UAVs and VSATs to get positional advantage. 

This advice is best for novice players who often tend to wander out on their own without efficient backup. Sticking together in a pack allows your teammates to keep tabs on you. They can back you up in case you run into multiple opponents. More importantly, they can revive you quickly in case of incoming damage and vice versa. 

At the same time, always communicate with your teammates. It is important to let them know what you see, where you are and where you spotted an enemy. Every information matters, and players should also ensure they do not flood the communication lines. 

As we head into the later stages of the game, the gas mask can become a very powerful weapon. If you have a gas mask, you should not be afraid to go into the smoke every now and then. This allows you to reposition yourself and have the drop on your opponent. Now, removing and wearing a gas mask can be somewhat time-consuming, so do not open fire and give away your location until you are completely ready to do so. This also means it is OK to take some damage in the smoke while removing your gas mask. 

Following these tips might not make you the best Call of Duty player out there, but it will get you close. Having your basics right is the first step to increasing your win-rate and ultimately win more matches.
