Open Your Parachute Early
Most folks carefully plan out their drop with pinpoint accuracy. They know which building they’ll camp, and the route they’ll take into the zone once it appears. But you, you know better.
Open your chute early. When you do, you pull your starting pistol. Did you know you can kill opposing players while they’re still floating down to the ground? Use these precious seconds in the air to down an enemy player, or at the very least, take some of their health away.
Spend Cash Early, Spend It Often
When you die, you wind up in the Gulgag. There, you’ll receive a single life in a 1v1 against another opponent. If you die, you’re done. If you win, you resurrect and parachute down once more.
To avoid losing all of the money you earned up to this point, spend it early and spend it often. You can buy a self-resurrect for $4500, which is invaluable to avoid the Gulag and remain in the match.
While playing in a party, any help you can provide to your team makes you invaluable, so spend the money to revive dead teammates!
Avoid the Gas
Well, duh. This is a non-tip, you’re likely thinking. But wait, the gas in Call of Duty: Warzone is unlike the gas found in PUBG or Fortnite. In this battle royale, the gas is deadly. You cannot hang around, waiting to unleash an ambush, with the gas rapidly encroaching your position.
If you have a gas mask, your character will automatically put it on when inside of the gas zone. But it goes quickly. Use that limited time to find a better position. A gas-free position.
Grind the Pre-Game
Many are content to sit around and wait for the actual battle royale to begin. They grab a drink, eat a snack, or check their social media.
During the pre-game, use those precious minutes to train your weapons. You earn XP before the match by getting kills, which unlocks perks, attachments, and skins.
