Just because you’re down in Call of Duty: Warzone doesn’t mean the round is over for you. MeinMMO shows you some hot tricks to significantly increase your chances of being revived.
What are those tricks? If you take a sniper headshot or lose a firefight in Call of Duty: Warzone, you enter the K.O. phase. At least if one of your teammates is still standing or there are self-revive kits available in the team.
If you’re “down” and the enemy doesn’t send you directly to the Gulag or the observation screen, your chances of being revived are often quite good. How you can further improve your chances has been explained by YouTuber and CoD expert “TheXclusiveAce” in one of his English videos:
The video was actually created because he often got asked how much health you actually have when you’re down. Additionally, he provided some tips around reviving, which we will list for you here.
Tricks for the K.O. Phase in the Warzone
What is there to know about the K.O. phase? If you’re K.O., you can’t shoot anymore, but you can crawl. If the enemy doesn’t finish you off right away, try to get to cover quickly. Here are some important facts about the K.O. phase:
- You have 200 health
- Your health decreases by 4 every second
- It takes 50 seconds until your time runs out
- If you’re crawling, you don’t lose any health
You have as much health in K.O. as with 2 armor plates. The opponent has to pump a lot of bullets into you before you are completely out. This often gives you the chance to get back on your feet and start a revenge quest. With the following tips, you’ll be able to do that even better.
Tip 1 – Survive Longer and Save Self-Revive
For this trick, you need a revive kit. The mobile medic box is considered one of the most important items in the Warzone and has a lot more to offer than just self-reviving.
If you use the syringe while lying on the ground, it stops your K.O. countdown. If you release the button, the countdown continues and the progress for a successful revival decreases. You can use this to drastically increase your K.O. time to over 75 seconds.
If one of your teammates is on the way to you, you extend your “down time” this way. This might save a revive kit, which is otherwise only available at buy stations for $4,500, and later you have another chance for revival.
Tip 2 – Prepare for Reviving
Another trick with the revive kit. If you have one of the medical bags in your pocket, you can increase the progress for your revival without losing the kit.
If a teammate is nearby but still busy engaging the enemies, you can almost fill your bar and your buddy just needs to help you up for a moment.
This way, you also save a revive kit, which makes more sense to use in a later situation when no friend is nearby.
Tip 3 – Move Properly in the K.O. Phase
This tip is especially important if a sniper has taken you out. A headshot is enough to get you shot out of the match in the K.O. phase with the best sniper rifles of the Warzone. However, if the snipers only hit your chest or limbs, you need 3 shots with the 200 K.O. health, which can take some time given the slow fire rate of the larger rifles.
So don’t crawl directly to the cover, but move your crosshair left and right while doing so. Your body moves on an axis around your waist area, which causes your head to wobble unpredictably.
If the snipers go for the headshot, it becomes extremely difficult for them to land that last shot, and they might not hit you at all.
Besides pure aiming, tactics, map knowledge, and understanding the small mechanics of the game are important elements for a successful strategy in the Warzone. For example, you can acquire recon drones with a long duration. There’s also much to know about gas and the closing of the circle.
The choice of the right weapon also makes a big difference, and you unlock some of the strongest weapons through challenges. Don’t forget these missions and unlock the 12 weapons you won’t unlock through level-ups – especially the assault rifles are worth it.
