Warzone: 10 Tips To Win On Rebirth Island | Game Rant
The December 16th update brought Wazone players a much-needed change to the game, a new map. Black Ops players will remember the Alcatraz map from Black Ops 4. Rebirth island is essentially the same map as Alcatraz with some minor changes to the design. It is not clear if players will be getting different modes on the map, as players can currently only play the rebirth mode.
Despite some disappointment in the community, the map is actually a refreshing addition to Warzone as there has been little new content since the Halloween event. The map is much smaller and the gameplay is fast-paced. Players can get kills in handfuls, and as long as one teammate is alive, players respawn. The map is by no means a replacement for the 150 player battle Royale experience, but it provides a new mode to keep the game fresh while the community waits for some substantive changes to Verdansk. Because the lobbies are capped at 45 players, wins are easier to come by if players use the right strategies.
10 Land On The Prison Block
The prison block can be chaotic, but there is a substantial amount of loot and a buy station accessible near the water tower. If players land and get a gun, they should be able to survive long enough to loot and buy a load out relatively quickly. The roof of the prison block is a very strategic location, as the zone rarely moves away from the prison after the first collapse. The only two locations that have an advantage over players on the prison roof are the two towers on either side of the prison. Players can control the roof of the tower after looting and hold players that have to rotate after the first collapse.
Players will try to land on the roof and take control of the position. The great thing about the roof of the prison block is the limited cover throughout. Players will not be able to camp on the roof without fighting other enemy teams early in the match. After the first collapse, players can formulate a plan to rotate into the new zone.
9 Find A Way To Get A Loadout
Teams that are fortunate enough to get their loadout and perks will have an extraordinary advantage over enemy teams. However, getting a loadout on Rebirth Island is no easy task. Teams with a height advantage will easily kill players that try to parachute in on their loadout. The loadout system on the map seems to be quite different than on Verdansk. The loadout will drop considerably far from where you and your team are on the map, often in areas with little to no cover. Sometimes, players can get lucky, but going for the free loadout is essentially suicide in most lobbies.
Players that land on the docks or by the prison block have stores that are relatively protected. Teams should send a sacrificial teammate to the store in an attempt to buy the loadout. If that person dies, they will respawn. Trying to fight an opposing team with Black Ops ground loot is not a winning formula unless the player has a Mac-10 blueprint.
8 Make A Purchase
The pace of the gameplay on Rebirth Island can be extremely quick, and dead players will return to fight again. It is common to be in a gunfight for ten or even fifteen minutes and players often forget to use their money until it is too late. Teams need to make a concerted effort to get UAVs and airstrikes. Because getting a loadout is so difficult, UAVs are extremely effective late in the match. Similarly, players that try to camp the tall buildings can be pushed with a timely airstrike. Teams that use their money at the buy station before the final circle will have an incredible advantage, and will likely get the win.
7 The Sole Survivor
Thirty seconds is a long time on Rebirth Island, and players need to be conservative when taking on multiple enemies. Players need to be aware if they are the last person alive and find a way to avoid the onslaught of enemies. Audio recognition is one of the most important things in Warzone and players will need to have a good ear to recognize where enemies are coming from. After a quick kill, players need to relocate and listen for the remaining teammates. It is much easier to win a one on three fight if only one enemy challenges at a time.
6 Grab The Right Gun
The first fight a team gets into will often determine the trend for the match. If possible, make sure to get a viable gun with a large ammo capacity. At this point, players should avoid the XM4 and be aware that the common snipers have considerable bullet drop due to the low bullet velocity.
Players lucky enough to find a Mac-10 on the ground will decimate enemies at close range, as it is better than the Mp5 by essentially every metric. The RPD blueprints are viable, and the common and green Milanos are similar to the Uzi. The best medium to long-range guns are the Bruen variants. Smithy and Spoiled Rotten are very reliable guns and will easily take out enemies early in the round. Beware of the aim down sight time with the Bruen variants, however, it is atrocious.
5 Get A Bounty Contract
Bounty contracts are free UAVs. Teams will have three less players to worry about when they have an active bounty contract. Because of how chaotic the mode is, bounties are often poached giving teams easy cash for a load out. Squad wipes are crucial in the rebirth mode, and bounties will often lead players to a full team. Once the squad is wiped, they can no longer respawn. Bounties are the best contracts on Rebirth Island, and teams that do not have a bounty active are at a disadvantage.
4 Look Up
Players will be dropping in constantly. Good teams will be able to take players out of the sky and identify the location of other teams. Because the map is so small, players can try to avoid the notification radius while dropping in. Good teams will always be aware of their surroundings. It only takes two hits to down an enemy. Players caught sleeping will get beat down or outgunned by players dropping back in.
3 Play the Edge
The further into the circle a squad goes, the more angles an enemy can shoot from. Playing the edge after the first collapse is a good way to ensure no players are coming in from behind. Teams can hold the stragglers and use their money to get an early load out. At the end of the match, players should find a strategic spot in the zone and be closer to the center of the circle. Nothing is worse than being on the edge of the zone and having it move away.
2 Get A Self-Revive and Gas Mask
Every player starts out the round with a self revive. Players need to make sure that they have not burned it before the final collapse. Teams that all have self revive can get out of situations other teams can't. Gas masks are essential on the small rebirth island. The gas mask allows players to avoid being shot while re-positioning late in the game. Using a gas mask is also a great way to re-plate without getting in enemy sightlines.
1 Positioning Is Key
This applies to all modes in Warzone, especially in close quarters. It is a much easier task to flick from one enemy to the other if players are side by side. Strategic teams will be close enough to play together but spread out enough to be a difficult target. Enemy teams will commonly focus on one target and expose themselves to the other two teammates. Camping side by side is a sure fire way to give enemies an easy squad wipe.
