Five tips for getting started in Call of Duty Warzone Mobile

1 - Optimize Rewards

Even though it's possible to play CoD Warzone Mobile as a guest, it's clearly preferable to register with your Activision account. This ensures cross-progression with Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty Modern Warfare III. This way, no matter your platform, you'll accumulate experience, improve weapon level progression, and advance in the Battle Pass. Whether on PC, consoles, or mobile, play, play, and play to earn more and more rewards.

2 – Choose Your Weapon, From Finger to Controller

Among PC players, the question often arises whether it's better to play with the keyboard/mouse combo or with a controller. With CoD Warzone Mobile, there are three different ways to play. The first is with touch controls directly on the screen. It's convenient, no need for an additional peripheral, you jump straight into the action. Moreover, the developers have made it possible to customize everything via the options menu. For increased precision, nothing beats a peripheral with real joysticks. This is where the other two ways to play come into play. They are very similar despite a slightly different connection approach. It is possible to opt for the Backbone One Controller for iPhone or Android or to go for a controller connected via Bluetooth. In any case, choose the solution that suits you best, whether in terms of practicality, precision, or even ergonomics.

3 – Study the Maps: Verdansk and Rebirth Island

Verdansk is the main map of Call of Duty Warzone 2.0, which is included in the Mobile version of Warzone hosting 120 players in Battle Royale. Introduced in CoD Modern Warfare (SpecOps and Ground War modes), the capital of Kastovia (inspired by the city of Donetsk) is vast. It offers 40 points of interest, including 20 major ones, starting with the military base, the port, the prison, the TV station, the hospital, and the airport. Knowing each point of interest helps determine which zone is more suitable for long-range combat or close-quarters combat.

Rebirth Island is the map for the Resurgence mode, a mode that follows the Battle Royale codes but allows redeployment after a given time as long as a squad member is still alive. Inspired by the Alcatraz map from the Black OPS II Zombies mode, the map is smaller than Verdansk to offer more dynamic encounters with fewer simultaneous players (48), notably with its fairly circular structure. It is composed of eleven points of interest, including the bio-weapons lab, the decontamination zone, the chemical factory, the control room, and the prison.

4 – Equip yourself, determine your approach

Whether in Battle Royale or Resurgence, you will start with a simple pistol. The weapon is lethal but over time it will be somewhat light against enemies who have taken the time to arm themselves to the teeth. Thus, from your deployment, it is in your best interest to find supply crates to collect weapons, ammunition, gas masks, cash, or even Killstreaks. To obtain even more cash, you must complete contracts. To do this, simply find the laptops scattered across the map. Then, just complete the assigned contract. Cash, like in life, makes certain things easier. Finally, before choosing your equipment, determine which gameplay approach you want to opt for. If you are for long-range combat, choose a long-range weapon, such as a sniper, and not a simple SMG... and vice versa. With 123 weapons (including primary and secondary) and 25 attachments available, you will be able to refine your approach as you play.

5 – Don't be afraid, try the Tutorial!

Sometimes, before jumping into action and getting frustrated by successive deaths, it can be interesting to train. Luckily, the developers have integrated a Tutorial accessible from the main menu that guides newcomers. It helps to acquire the basics. After all, we all started somewhere.

Bonus – Some tips to get through Operation Day Zero

Operation Day Zero is a community event that puts everyone's exploits at the service of everyone. Indeed, by accomplishing certain specific actions, one acquires event points that are accumulated to meet the set objective. To optimize EP (event points) gains, it is advised to complete as many contracts as possible, invite friends to join the fight to cooperate against others, and always be on the move to find as many supply crates as possible, track as many enemies as possible, etc. A little bonus, if you manage to get a vehicle quickly enough, you will optimize the time needed to cross the map and thus find more supply crates and more contracts.
