Call of Duty: Warzone
Loadout Drops
Warzone without a loadout is a scavenger match. The crate is the real spawn. Treat the buy and the smoke like a fight, not a shopping trip.
Money first, then the crate
Contracts near your landing beat random houses. If your team is broke, you are not ready for a loadout in a hot circle.
One player watches, two loot. Everyone standing in the smoke is a free UAV for the next team.
Place the crate with cover
Open field loadouts get sniped. Drop near a building you can plate in. If the circle is moving, buy late rather than dying on a pretty rooftop.
Keep a second buy for plates or a UAV. A loadout with 50 health still loses.
Gulag changes the plan
If two teammates are in gulag, do not force a loadout in a 1v3 building. Play for respawn, then shop.
