Call of Duty: Warzone 2 can be a tough nut to crack in the battle royale genre, so if you’re struggling in Al Mazra, we’ve got tons of the best tips to help you through Warzone 2.

Whether you’re looking for simple tips to improve your chances, or you’re new to BR and need a general guide, we’ve got you covered with our Warzone 2 tips guide. .

Rotation in Warzone 2 is key

The game’s circle mechanic has certainly changed in Warzone 2, but the basic premise hasn’t changed – the game’s original circle will continue to shrink until the poison gas consumes the entire map.

There are two ways to approach the circle: stay in the very center and get a firm foothold, or you can hover in and around the edge of the circle.

Each has positive and weak sides. Staying in the middle and not moving restricts you a little more as you will be surrounded by enemy players, so looting is much more dangerous, as is combat, but it can be useful and you are already ready for the final. .

Whereas if you stay on the edge of the circle you will be able to loot more freely and you will be able to kill players moving into the next circle, sometimes those who are gassed, resulting in easy kills. .

On the other hand,  you  may end up with the player(s) caught in the gas and, depending on the lap, you can always run to safety directly towards the other teams that are already in position waiting for you.

Weigh your options and find the strategy that best suits your playstyle. If you are a more conservative person and want to engage in less action stick to the outside, if you crave kills play more in the middle.

Get money and supplies quickly

No matter which option you choose, early and efficient loot will get you off to a great start in Warzone 2.

In addition to some great landing spots, Al Mazra holds a ton of secrets just waiting to be discovered. There are tons of hidden stashes scattered around the map, all laid out in the same way and can net you several thousand dollars in the first couple of minutes, as well as decent weapons , kill streaks, and more.

Also, make sure you look for a 3-plate vest, as without it, you won’t be able to get maximum armor, which is another important factor.

Looking for the best Warzone 2 meta weapons

Even if you like a certain weapon and enjoy using it, it may not necessarily be one of the weapons that is guaranteed to kill enemies faster thanks to the concept of time-to-kill.

The simple principle of recoil, rate of fire, range, and damage means that some weapons are more efficient to use, and you might miss something if you don’t use them.

The meta is constantly changing thanks to buffs and nerfs implemented by the developers, so keep following our news.

Use your backpack

Warzone 1 had dedicated slots for certain gear, while Warzone 2 not only gives you free rein to take on any loot, but you can also find larger backpacks to carry even more stuff.

You can easily store 12-15 armor plates, a few self-spawns, a few gas masks, and even a third weapon.

Warzone 2 is not Modern Warfare 2

If you’re new to battle royale, let’s be clear: only the very best can run around Al Masra at 100 mph and kill everyone in sight to get 20, 30, and 40 kill games.

So you need to choose your fights in Warzone 2 carefully, use cover wherever possible, and learn to analyze every firefight, even if you’re in it.

Against a sniper? Find a way to outflank them. Are you being shot while your plates are broken? Don’t be a hero, stand back and arm yourself.

Resurgence’s game modes are more like the fast-paced multiplayer you’ll find in  Modern Warfare 2  , but Warzone 2 isn’t, so don’t treat it like it is.

Don’t be afraid to fight!

While we don’t encourage you to run around like a headless chicken, you also can’t hide in a broom closet scared by every sound you hear.

You must be active and ready to fight. If you kill an opponent, then you will increase your chances of winning by eliminating the opponent, you will have more loot, and most importantly, you will be able to learn from this experience and become better.

Even if you lose the fight and get sent to the gulag, you can record the footage and review it to see where you went wrong and subsequently learn how to overcome similar situations in the future. We advise: optimize and strategize.

Also, there are no leaderboards or battle records in the game at the moment, and your stats will be erased – so why not use this as an opportunity to improve before the stats end up in the game?

Proximity Chat is more than just toxicity

After its successful inclusion in rival shooter Escape From Tarkov, Activision decided to green-light and implement Proximity Chat in Warzone 2.

The sound mechanic basically means that if you’re connected to the in-game audio/chat, then if an enemy player is within a few meters of you, you’ll be able to hear what they’re saying.

Apart from the jokes that can be exchanged, it also alerts you and lets you know that someone is nearby and you can prepare yourself that way. 

Height and patience are the keys to victory

We’ve all been there when it comes to the last few players, and the circle is getting alarmingly narrowing at greatly reduced intervals. But don’t panic.

The goal is to see the player and immediately try to take them out. Depending on the mode you’re playing, if your teammates are dead, you might be better off letting them go.

Wherever possible, especially before the last laps, you need a height advantage. Mountains, buildings, and anything above gives you the ability to see the narrowing battlefield and makes it easier to identify the player.

Experience comes with the game, so the more times you get into a situation, the more you will eventually become an expert at knowing when to shoot and when to wait and let other players kill each other.
