In Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you should always be one step ahead of your enemy. However, Twitch streamer “pokelawls” shows that sometimes even the oldest tricks still work.
To win in the free battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you really have to put in some effort. A constant switch between quiet phases and action-packed fights puts pressure on you, and your concentration must remain at max level. Here’s the checklist:
- Best meta weapons in loadout – Check
- Practiced the latest movement technique – Check
- Best settings ready – Check
But you don’t always have to go to great lengths to confuse and eliminate your opponents. The worst weapon can stand up to a highly evolved meta loadout – if you’re clever and always have a trick up your sleeve.
This has once again been proven by Twitch streamer “pokelawls”. He secured two very easy kills with the probably oldest shooter trick in the world and, as so often since the release of Warzone 2, the proximity chat plays a major role.
Twitch streamer lies, cheats, and wins
Pokelawls plays a round of solo battle royale and is on a loot tour. After a safe mission, he pulls out his heartbeat sensor and sees – the noise from the safe explosion has apparently attracted a few enemies.
So he positions himself in a corner of a house near the hydroelectric power plant in Al Mazrah and waits for his opponents. However, they did not expect the nonsense that pokelawls is about to pull:
“Stop, my damn controller isn’t connected” – echoes in the proximity chat of the enemies. Two seconds later, an enemy runs around the corner and takes the full hit. Pokelawls takes some damage, but also gets the kill.
Time to plate up, reload and… wait – footsteps can still be heard. So pokelawls sits back in the corner and takes another shot: “Can you bring me the new cable, my controller isn’t connected. Yeah, I can’t play – my controller is damn not connected”.
And then the second player really comes around the corner. A bit more cautious, as if he senses something is off. But still, there is also no chance for kill number 2.
Why is this the oldest shooter trick in the world? Before the internet revolutionized multiplayer shooters, you went hunting for your buddies in split-screen. However, when you sit next to each other and can see each other’s screens, it becomes a whole different game.
Once you knew the maps and the tactics, only cheap tricks remained to take down your buddies – the “oh, my controller isn’t working” trick is probably the absolute classic and responsible for many kills and damaged friendships.
