re: Official Warzone 1.0 Thread - Moving MW2 and WZ 2.0 Discussion to the New Official Thread

we need a 6th. heads up we've all been drinking

I don’t play with mic much, but I stay with my team and ping when I see people. I also play with a friend of mine a lot and we talk about all kinds of shite while we play, I ain’t trying to flood people’s audio with that.

Here’s my info

Haven’t delved into war zone that much, but a really good pub player.

Stay away from fighting. If you do have to engage, only engage long enough to down someone so that the others have to back off a bit and allow you to escape. The reason why is since you have unlimited respawns they will keep dropping in around you. And the longer the fighting, the more chance of getting 3rd or even 4th partied.

We usually try dropping onto the northern end of the map where there are small clusters of buildings scattered around. Specifically where there are contracts and shopping carts.

The more teammates with the cash-drop balloon the better. That allows you to secure $150k per balloon. If one of the teammates has a huge stack of cash on them we'll allow that person to fill up the balloon themselves. Otherwise we try to split it. Since you drop something like half of what you have in pocket if you die, the more money one person has on them means more money they'll lose.

There's a few scenarios where we'll play a little ballsy... If we've managed to bank all(or most) of our money and its later in the game where the cash crates are dropping, we'll grab a Heli and let one person drop in to claim the cash. They're usually hundreds of thousands of dollars plus a contract. Key is to not have any cash on hand before doing this because if you DO die getting the crate, you'll still be able to keep half of the money from the crate when you respawn. It's a pretty legit way to grab a chunk of change late game.

Hitting the $1 million mark is key. Once you've done that it will automatically bank all cash so you can't lose it. And the 1st team hits that mark, all cash registers at 1.5x's so if you're really close to someone hitting that mark it might be worth waiting on claiming scavenger or recon contracts until after.


MUST HAVES for your loadout.
Smokes: These have saved my arse so many times when I'm trying to bank money, revive someone, escape, etc.
Restock: Replenishes your throwables.
Tuneup: Reduces the time it takes for your cash balloon to replenish.

I do think it's worth having one teammate with the Pointman perk instead of Restock. Pointman gives everyone on the team more money with every contract. But it doesn't stack so everyone else should equip restock.



We've had a ton of fun on Plunder. On average we finish in the top 3 and we've had days where we've pulled win streaks into the double digits.

I loved trios but we did enjoy quads. Haven't tried dous yet.

For those that play plunder, what's a good strategy?

Since they changed to duos the dynamics changed. When it was quads/trios you win one of two ways. Merk other teams or methodically loot and get cash deposit balloons. If you choose the first way to win, hopefully you have a solid team otherwise you’ll just be shooting it out against the same team over and over again. I have 19 plunder wins.

Tried plunder duos yesterday and it’s not the same.

If you ever run into me and you are by yourself pick me up for a game or two of plunder. I'll suck, but I want to try to pick up the strategy at least.

I have 5 top 10s today (BR, not plunder) and two second place finishes. Both of them I should have won the damn thing. I think I'd rather finish 100th than 2nd.

Im probably done for the night. I'll be back tomorrow.

I need to figure out if this skipping is a game issue or an internet issue on me. I've died three times so far today when I've pulled my parachute and then the game skipped backed where I didn't have it open when it comes back to normal I'm laying on the ground dead.

I've been having an issue where when i'm aiming down sight, all of a sudden my scope skips to the left. I've died multiple times b/c of that shite.

And i know this isn't warzone related, but the map rotation for multiplayer is absolute shite lately. I've played the new sawmill and backlot maps 3 times in a row.
