I noticed that there isn’t a thread for Warzone, so here we are.
If you don’t know what Warzone consists of, Ill explain. Warzone is a 24p mode that pits two teams of twelve against each other on a large map. There are 5 spawn locations. 2 Home Bases, and 3 strategically placed locations that can be captured(2 Armories, and 1 central location). There are two ways to win. The first team to reach 1000pts wins, or if a team destroys the core inside the opposing teams Home Base wins. Reaching 1000pts is the common reason for victory between the two. This is because in order to get access to the core inside the enemy teams base, your team must first capture both Armories and the central spawn location.
Scoring is pretty straightforward. Kills, kills, and more kills. The most important kills are NPC Boss kills. Throughout the match NPC bosses will spawn at different locations on the map(roughly every 3 1/2 minutes). These bosses are your #1 priority(assuming your core isn’t vulnerable). Regular bosses(white skull icon) net 25pts each, and legendary bosses(yellow skull icon) net 150pts each. These bosses are key, a single regular boss kill is the equivalent of killing 25 enemy players, a legendary boss kill is equivalent to killing 150. Due to the nature of other games, you might think capturing locations is priority, most of the time it is not in Warzone. You get maybe 5-10pts for a capture(I think), it isnt much either way. Capturing a location is more about strategy, and these strategies vary for different maps as well as which team you are on(blue/red). So don’t get tricked into thinking that capturing locations is your #1 priority 100% of the time.
Unfortunately, there are only 3 Warzone maps currently. Once you have played enough, you will know every boss spawn location and spawn time. The upside is that other people have this knowledge as well, and you have tough matches sometimes. Teamwork and communication really can be the thing that separates the winners and losers. Don’t be afraid to talk into your mic, it could truly help your team win.
Is this a old thread? 3 WZ maps so far???
