To play Call of Duty Warzone, start by downloading the free Warzone client (or launching it through a COD title) and signing in to your account. Warzone offers several modes—Bootcamp (training with bots), Battle Royale, Resurgence, and Plunder—so you can learn the ropes or dive straight into the action. After you drop onto the Urzikstan map, loot Supply Boxes and complete Contracts to earn cash; cash lets you buy crucial gear at Buy Stations, including a Loadout and redeploys. If you’re eliminated, you enter The Gulag for a one-on-one fight for redeployment back into the match. For a step-by-step overview, see the official guide Warzone: How to Play.
Loadouts and Perks are central to Warzone’s tempo. When you’ve racked up cash, visit a Buy Station to acquire a Loadout Drop and a Perk Package, then equip your preferred weapons and gear. Perk Packages come in customizable or preset forms, and you can slot in armor plates, weapons, equipment, and even vehicles to help with rotations. Contracts and loot-consumed rotations drive the mid-to-late game as you push toward the final circle. For more details on modes, Gulag variants, and loot systems, consult the official guide.
