70 Warzone tips for consistently winning matches in Season 4

If you’re looking to start strong with in Call Of Duty: Warzone and its incredibly popular Battle Royale mode, you’ve come to the right place. Below are 70 top Call Of Duty: Warzone tips for consistently surviving and dishing out death all across Verdansk. We’ve got tonnes of good stuff here, so let’s get stuck in!

Warzone tips – Early Game

1. The first skill to master in Warzone is how to land properly. The fastest method for landing depends on the distance you want to travel. Check out our in-depth [cms-block] guide to be shown how to land perfectly every time!
2. If you cut your chute while high above the ground, there’s a few-second gap where you’re able to shoot with your starting pistol. This means it’s often better to fall slightly above those around you, so you can harass them into landing prematurely, or even kill them.
3. As long as you haven’t cut your chute during the drop, your chute will auto-deploy shortly before hitting the ground. But if you have cut your chute, this auto-deploy won’t happen, so you’ll have to remember to deploy manually to avoid a quick and miserable death.
4. Your three objectives in the first couple of minutes after landing should be: get some decent starting weapons; find and use Armor Plates to maximise your HP; and then accrue $8,500 to buy a Loadout Drop Marker from a Buy Station (more on this below).

Warzone tips – Weapons and Loadouts

5. Make the most of your time in the pre-game lobby, because any kills you earn will actually earn you permanent XP for that weapon, unlocking new attachments and skins you can use in future matches.
6. If you’re playing in a squad with an underleveled teammate, it’s a good idea to create a loadout for them using all the attachments at your disposal, and drop it for them in-game. Check out our [cms-block] guide for ideas!
7. Annoyingly, there’s no easy way to swap the order of your two weapons in Warzone. However, if there’s a weapon on the floor nearby, you can swap between them until your existing weapons are in the correct positions.
8. The color of a weapon is determined by how many of its attachment slots are filled. This means a grey MP7 will hit every bit as hard as a gold MP7, but it may lack attachments that turn it into a better or easier to use weapon.
9. In the enormous and rooftop-dotted map of Verdansk, sniper rifles dominate. The AX-50 and the HDR sniper rifles can one-shot-kill with a headshot. Be wary of a white glint on the horizon. It means someone with a sniper scope is aiming at you.
10. Thermal scopes are the meta right now, because they allow you to easily see enemies even beyond your render distance. However, they are hard-countered by the Cold-Blooded Perk, which renders you undetectable by thermal imaging.
11. Most weapons have four different damage stats depending on where in the body you hit: the head, the chest (and shoulders), the stomach, and the limbs. But Assault Rifles only have two damage stats: one for the head, and one for everywhere else.
12. Some of the top-tier weapons in Warzone are, in no order: HDR, AX-50, Aug, MP5, MP7, M13, Oden, M4A1, Grau, and FAL. For more information on the best weapons in Warzone, check out our [cms-block] guide!

Warzone tips – Combat

13. Warzone has a comparatively low time-to-kill (TTK) compared to other Battle Royales. Even if you’re fully armored up, you can be burst down in half a second with the right weapon. Always prioritise your safety.
14. Because of the low TTK, it’s very difficult to win a straight gunfight in Warzone if you’re outnumbered. If two players shoot at you simultaneously, you’re almost always dead. Your only hope is to outplay the larger team using positioning and the element of surprise.
15. Pay attention to your minimap and compass, because if a nearby enemy shoots with a non-suppressed gun, they will show up as a momentary red dot on both compass and minimap. It’s a good idea to ping these dots on the map to help with hunting them down.
16. “Drop-shotting” is when you go immediately prone while shooting at an enemy. Not only does it present less of a target for your enemy, but you can do it so quickly in Warzone that it often wrongfoots your opponent, making it a powerful tactic in combat.
17. Aim Walking Movement Speed is a very undervalued trait when building weapons and loadouts. The ability to strafe quickly while aiming down sights is a very powerful asset during fights across all ranges. Most weapons have at least one stock attachment for this.
18. Spend time learning and internalising which sorts of materials can and cannot be shot through in Warzone. Thin cover (particularly wooden) can be shot through, but trees and thick walls can’t. Use the FMJ weapon perk to maximise damage through cover.
19. Warzone gives you an unparalleled number of extra chances after being killed, what with the Gulag and the ability for teammates to redeploy you. Because of this, the tendency is to be more aggressive with pushing and seeking out enemies.
20. There’s a sound that plays when someone who you’ve recently downed is revived by their teammate. It’s the same noise that plays when you revive someone or you get revived. Keep an ear out for it, because it’s extremely useful information.
21. Because of the ease with which players can purchase Self-Revives from Buy Stations, it’s important to fully kill downed enemies as quickly as possible to make sure they can’t get back up. But it’s only worthwhile if you can do this without putting yourself in danger.
22. Pay attention to the icons next to your reticule while shooting enemies, because it tells you how armored your opponent is and also notifies you when their armor is broken. The audio for hit markers also tells you this information, so pay attention to it.
23. You know that yellow text that appears when you knock or kill someone? The really important thing to look out for is whether “Team Wiped” appears here, because if it does, that means you’ve completely destroyed every element of the team.
