How to get the best out of Zombie Royale.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Zombie Royale is absolute mayhem. I love it. Dropping into Verdansk armed with nothing and ending up with a horde of zombies bearing down on you like ravenous dogs is a terrifying thrill. I’d actually say the feeling of terror I’m always in whilst playing Zombie Royale is an ideal horror experience. Aside from the unfortunatesupply box jumpscares, the feeling of constant insecurity thanks to the fact that literally anything can happen and the chaos can always claim you gives me a truly immersive, creeping horror experience. I’m scared to move, I’m terrified of going outside, I’m constantly twitching, checking my six just to make sure a zombie isn’t getting the jump on me. It’s bloody brilliant, and I’ve been on it almost constantly since launch. With that in mind,here are some Zombie Royale tips and tricksto help you not die.

Zombie Royale tips and tricks
After playing a whole load of Warzone’s Zombie Royale since its launch, I’m gutted it won’t be here to stay after the spooky season. You might as well make the most of it for the time being though, so here are a few pointers to consider when playing Zombie Royale.
Best Zombie Royale loadout
Because Zombie Royale takes place in the dead of night, I’m prescribing you with a loadout that includes thermal scopes and zombie-busting close range weaponry. With a thermal sniper, you’ll be able to get those sick cross-map snipes and pick jumping zombies out of the sky, whilst a few headshots with the MP5 will stop the undead from clawing your face off. Here’s the best loadout for Zombie Royale.
Primary Weapon - HDR
Secondary Weapon - MP5
Perks
Equipment
So, why is this the go-to loadout for Zombie Royale? Well, firstly it’s an Overkill class, meaning you get double the primary weapons. If you can get two loadouts in a match though, definitely switch over to a class with Ghost and keep your weapons - staying off the radar is extremely important.
Having thermal sights on your sniper will help you to no end though, as in the night time it’s very hard to spot tangoes with normal sights. This is why we use the Cold Blooded perk too - it’s great for staying out of sight of enemies with the same bright idea. Amped lets you switch to and from your HDR nice and quickly too, and with it you should be able to hit some nice cross-map shots. The HDR offers one-shot headshots (on both humans and zombies), so at mid- to long-range you’ll be all good.
Finally, the Claymore makes an appearance, although it’s just as valid to bring out a Proximity Mine. These lethals are great for when baddies sneak up on you, which happens all the bloomin’ time in Zombie Royale what with the zombies’ ludicrous jump distance. If you’re hunkering down somewhere, it’s helpful to cover your back with an explosive and make sure you can stay focused on the task ahead.
