How to respawn in Warzone

Call Of Duty: Warzone gives you more chance than most other Battle Royales to get back into the game after being killed. Let’s quickly go over how many second chances you can get in a Warzone match:

Note that if you respawn through the Gulag or through a Buy Station, you respawn with nothing but your starting pistol. All your previous weaponry and equipment will be gone. But if you are revived from a knocked state, you keep all your equipment.

How does the Gulag work in Call Of Duty: Warzone?

The Gulag in Call Of Duty: Warzone is a one-time opportunity to earn passage back to the world of the living. To do so, you must defeat a randomly chosen enemy who has also been sent to the Gulag.

If you’ve played the main Modern Warfare game, you’ll likely recognise the Gulag fights as being very similar to Gunfight games. They all take place on the same tiny map (which is an adjusted version of the Gulag Showers map from Gunfight), and they follow similar rules to Gunfight. Here’s how Gulag fights work:

Another very important thing to note in the Gulag is that if you aren’t immediately matched with an enemy, you’ll be put into a queue while you wait for an opponent and/or a free arena. During this time, you can spectate players fighting in your arena from the sidelines. This is important because if you’re lucky enough to have a teammate spectating your fight, then you’ll have a huge advantage because your teammate can watch your opponent’s movements and call out their location. Players in the queue are even given five rocks that they can throw into the arena while a fight is going on. They deal no damage, but they can be used to reveal a player’s position to their opponent.
