"Warzone thus far has been a game of “kill or be killed.” However, during Season Four, Operators will be able to drop in for the game’s first-ever objective-based game mode: Payload.

In Payload, you and 39 other Operators drop in to escort two caravans of vehicles through a series of checkpoints or sabotage the mission. Build or destroy barriers and purchase buildings to aid in your squad’s mission, and be sure to collect any contracts you find around Verdansk, as they will help lead to success.

More details are to come on this new mode later this season."

Speaking of what the community has played thus far, your efforts through building personal loadouts and profiles will carry on. Warzone will continue to support weapons and content earned with a Battle Pass or purchased via Store Bundle from Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® and Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War.

Take note of what they said in April:

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/04/warzone-anti-cheat-progress-report

"Some have asked if we issue hardware bans. We do issue hardware bans against repeat, or serial, cheaters. This is an important part of our effort to combat repeat offenders."

They don't even do hardware bans until you do it repeatedly which is just ridiculous. Even in April, after doing these blogs multiple times, why not have a zero tolerance policy?

Your a clown here you go next time learn to read an article “Specifically, a subway train will not move to a station that is under the effects of the circle collapse. This avoids a situation of a squad hopping aboard a subway that leads to an untimely death… unless, of course, it’s at the hands of another squad waiting at the next station.” Source : https://www.callofduty.com/blog/page?id=Warzone-Mastery-Verdansk-Subway-System-Metro&src=agb

It is.

> The island is roughly the size of Verdansk

Straight from the blog post. They wont replace the big map with a small map, as they cater to different groups, they want both groups to be happy. Also all of the images show this is very clearly a big island

+ multiple tweets from Raven Software about ban waves

+ in-game message saying "cheaters are not welcome"

On February 2nd (one month ago) Activision published this blog article regarding Anti Cheat Programs

https://www.callofduty.com/au/en/blog/2021/02/Call-of-Duty-Anti-Cheat-Programs-Update

​

>Our ongoing security and enforcement efforts are franchise wide across Warzone, Modern Warfare® and Black Ops. For Warzone communications, the Warzone development team at Raven Software will take the lead on sharing updates going forward. We will provide monthly updates at a minimum, and when possible, weekly updates to the community.

So where is our monthly update? I, for one, am looking forward to hearing something substantial on the following:

​

>In addition, we’re increasing our efforts and capabilities in these key areas.
>
>· Enhancements to our internal anti-cheat software
>
>· Additional detection technology
>
>· Adding new resources dedicated to monitoring and enforcement
>
>· Regular communication updates on progress; more two-way dialogue
>
>· Zero tolerance for cheat providers
>
>· Consistent and timely bans

And to state the obvious - BAN WAVES DON'T WORK!!!

They say it in the blog post: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/08/Season-Five-Black-Ops-Cold-War-Warzone-Launching-August-12

Tempered (slot 2): plates are 75HP instead of 50, so you can plate faster and save plates.

Combat Scout (slot unknown): automatically pings and highlights an enemy when you damage him, similar to MW3's Recon perk I guess.

The new bunkers are clearly not the same ones, there are 2 photos of them here: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/09/prepare-for-the-final-showdown-deep-dive-season-six

> AMP63: Pistol (In-Season)

> The Secondary category gets even deeper later in Season Three thanks to the AMP63 pistol. Slotting in as the fourth sidearm in Black Ops Cold War’s arsenal, this personal defense weapon is a cross between a self-loading pistol and a fully automatic SMG. Expect this weapon to output high amounts of damage in a short period of time thanks to its full-auto nature, which makes it highly effective in close quarters.

They just announced (once again) that they’re cracking down on cheaters and bringing in new measures to stop it. You can read more about it here https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/02/Call-of-Duty-Anti-Cheat-Programs-Update. Chances are, they finally got round to banning someone you reported months ago.

That being said, I have absolutely no faith in the company to make any effective changes to the game that stop or noticeably reduce the number of cheaters. They’ve been too shit for too long and I’m betting this is just more talk to try to keep creators playing and talking about the game

They've already confirmed that Rebirth Island will be playable alongside Caldera.

Here's the blog post confirming it.

In this week's weekly briefing they didn't mention anything about nerfs or bug fixes. Here's the entirety of the info on Warzone:

>What’s in Store for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone
>
>Get ready for the Disavowed Assassin to be released in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone on Jan. 14.
>
>This five-item bundle contains three Legendary items: a unique melee weapon Blueprint, a killer Operator Skin, and a dangerous Finishing Move known as the “Dangerous Approach.” It also includes an Epic Emblem and Calling Card.
>
><Image>
>
>Also available later this week is the Tracer Pack Indigo bundle, which contains two Legendary Blueprints – the “Great Pacific” assault rifle and the “Turbo Powered” SMG – that both fire indigo tracer rounds, as well as a new Emblem, Sticker, Charm and Calling Card. The Tracer Pack Indigo bundle will be available for purchase in the in-game Store on Jan. 17.
>
><Image>

Don't expect anything spectacular to be happening in the mid-season update.

That's weird, they announced that Warzone Pacific would be on the Vanguard engine: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/10/vanguard-launch-pre-season-one-warzone-pacific-roadmap

>Built on the same tech and engine as Call of Duty: Vanguard, this map is visually appealing as it is ready to support this new game’s armaments, and will support fully optimized cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-gen support.

I thought that too but the /u/todredmi proved me wrong:

>“Despite its “retro” interior, this subway system boasts incredible safety standards; it will not travel to a station that falls outside the safe area during Battle Royale matches, nor move a single inch if there is any conflict aboard its cars.”

>Directly from the blog post. It shouldn’t ever be put into the gas.

They just posted a progress report on the anti-cheat about Asia. Unless, I’m just stupid and missing something https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/12/RICOCHET-Anti-Cheat-Progress-Report-12-07-Call-of-Duty-Warzone-Pacific

Warzone will be the first title to receive the driver, launching alongside the Pacific update in December. The kernel-level driver, which is one element of the multi-faceted RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system, will be added to Call of Duty: Vanguard at a later date.

https://www.callofduty.com/content/atvi/callofduty/blog/web/en/home/2021/11/RICOCHET-anti-cheat-progress-report-post-vanguard-launch.html

Yes.

> The towering Downtown complex across from the Financial District is here to stay after its tenant decided to move back West to sunny Los Angeles. This point of interest, now referred to by Operators as Downtown Tower, has had its vault opened and cleared of valuables, but remains a vast and strategically valuable location to dominate your enemies from.

> Although it may be under new management, expect the meta tactics you learned during the ’80s Action Heroes event to come in handy.

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/02/Season-Two-Briefing-and-File-Size-Intel

I mean this was the first thing I found when I googled it, but we've known for a while. Season one is ending soon, (you can see that where it tells you how much time is left on the battle pass) and Cold War already got it's season 2 update last night.

They already hinted at the fact that they will remove the MW content down the road.

This is from the "The future of Warzone" blog post from early November:

>A Note on Content Compatibility*

>As the Black Ops Cold War Seasons progress and the Warzone story unfolds, be certain that our teams are working diligently to ensure all of this content is accessible. There are no current plans to remove content from Warzone but to ensure the best possible player experience, there may be occasions where content is delayed, or becomes temporarily or permanently inaccessible.

> (...)

> *Content may be temporarily or permanently removed from Warzone in the future, based on game or thematic changes, technical or legal requirements, and/or storage limitations.

So, Activision said in their cod blog that we could use MW and CW operators even in Vanguard playlists. However, each time I've played a Vanguard playlist game my operator has changed to a random Vanguard operator.

I've seen other people complaining about this, and certain responses arguing that is "normal", as they are Vanguard exclusive themed lists. However, apart from being something arbitrary (your skin do not influences the gameplay), it goes agains all service oriented game logic. And it also goes against previous statements from Activision.

Blog source:

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/10/vanguard-launch-pre-season-one-warzone-pacific-roadmap#Preseason

With the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific tomorrow, #TeamRICOCHET continues its new anti-cheat security initiative with the rollout of an internally developed PC kernel-level driver for Warzone, which will activate first in the Asia-Pacific region before expanding worldwide.

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/12/RICOCHET-Anti-Cheat-Progress-Report-12-07-Call-of-Duty-Warzone-Pacific

How was this possible? lol

"This is because every squad can only have a Bounty placed on one of its members once per game. In other words, if one of your squadmates is the target of Bounty, and you help them successfully evade it, your squad can never have another Bounty placed on them for the rest of the match. This also applies to Solo games; if you evade a Bounty during a match, then you will not have to worry about one being placed on you again."

https://www.callofduty.com/no/warzone/strategyguide/infil-tactics-in-the-warzone/wz-contracts-and-in-game-events

warzone recently hit 100,000,000 players though. 500k / 100000000 = 0.5% of all players using cheats. 500k on it's own sounds like a lot but a fuck ton of people play warzone

source: https://www.callofduty.com/ca/en/blog/2021/04/Incredible-Warzone-and-Game-Sales-Milestones

That’s some flawed logic. They always said it’d launch with the Pacific update, with the kernel-level driver coming to Vanguard at a later date.

From the blog (https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/11/call-of-duty-vanguard-warzone-caldera-season-one-map-intel#Points):

"Dead Silence is being nerfed. Stopping Power Rounds are gone.

In addition to detailing those exact changes, Raven Software looked closely at various equipment pieces, such as nerfs to Stun Grenades and Heartbeat Sensors"

So I guess this guarantees some changes to stuns and sensors. Next week should be more info.

As for the snipers IMO the biggest problem is flinching. From my understanding Kar98 is popular because it is not a sniper rifle but a marksman rifle. In MW2019 it was in the marksman rifle category and those had little to no flinch. I guess it's the same for the swiss(haven't played Cold War)?

This could be also a problem for Vanguard weapons because it's marksman and sniper riffles have flinch when shot (although they have flinch reducing attachments). If they nerfed the flinch resistance of the 2 most popular snipers and buffed flinch resistance on the rest IMO the selection of long range tools would be bigger.

Unfortunately.... In the patch notes it was stated that it was removed... "Melee Finisher Damage has been removed."

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/09/call-of-duty-warzone-mode-intel-a-guide-to-iron-trials-84

Here's the link to the blog post with full details. Excited about the new mode and the ballistic knife:

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/05/80s-Action-Heroes-Rambo-and-John-McClane-across-Call-of-Duty

As it is stated here: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/04/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-Cold-War-and-Warzone-Season-Three#MPModes

It is a BR-mode: “The upcoming Multi-Team Elimination mode brings the last-team-standing experience to Black Ops Cold War’s biggest maps, where multiple teams of four will fight to survive ever-expanding radiation zones. Redeploys will be limited and loadouts will be restricted, so teams will need to scavenge for weapons, Scorestreaks, Armor, Redeploy Tickets, and more. Emerge as the last team standing or the first squad to board the exfil chopper in the final safe zone to achieve victory.”

To further confirm this, in the official guide to the outbreak event/S2 here, it says this:

2. Eliminate 100 zombies.

These undead creatures can be found within the new Shipwreck point of interest… for now.

&#x200B;

They gonna be spreading!

• A Focus on Vanguard Weapons. Loadouts can only contain Vanguard weaponry, streamlining the meta for more accessibility and room for experimentation. Expect all weapons around the island to also be from Vanguard. Operator selection is also limited to Vanguard soldiers.

https://www.callofduty.com/content/atvi/callofduty/blog/web/en/home/2021/11/call-of-duty-vanguard-warzone-caldera-season-one-map-intel.html

https://www.callofduty.com/content/atvi/callofduty/blog/web/en/home/2021/10/vanguard-launch-pre-season-one-warzone-pacific-roadmap.html

– All Operators – from Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War, and Modern Warfare – can be used across all of Warzone after the integration, even in the Vanguard playlist.

They made it pretty clear when they announced the details of season six last week.

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/09/prepare-for-the-final-showdown-deep-dive-season-six#Regiment

&#x200B;

After October 6, you will only be able to view your Regiment Roster and inspect players. You will not be able to create, manage, switch, or invite people to your Regiment, use Regiment Tags, or receive Happy Hour rewards after this date. And if you are in multiple Regiments, you have until October 5 to ensure that you are “Active” in the one you wish to stay in through Vanguard’s launch on November 5.

>To advance through these tiers, you simply play the game (either Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, or Modern Warfare). The longer you play, the more Tier progress you get. Sometimes, there are events where Double Tier progress can be gained, and it does exactly what you’d expect; double the rate at which you get Battle Pass Tiers through time played.

https://www.callofduty.com/warzone/strategyguide/pre-game-preparation/wz-battle-pass

read the announcement here: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/10/ricochet-anti-cheat-initiative-for-call-of-duty "The kernel-level driver launches alongside the Pacific update for Warzone later this year." where exactly are they talking about asia?

A "simple" increase in Tickrate carries with it many problems.

• 3x+ increase in server load ( cost )
• decrease in game performance when client is unable to render 60FPS
• deterioration of connection quality in weaker networks - packet loss, packet burst ( Already, many ISPs have a packet burst problem & buffer bloat )

Much more will be achieved by placing more servers closer to players - to reduce ping and abandoning SBBM in favor of ping first. Now players who have servers next to them with 20ms ping are playing in another datacenter with 50-70ms ping

Deep dive into netcode problems with higher Tickrate if someone is interested.

TLDR: for triple the bandwidth and CPU costs, you can save two frames worth of latency in the best-case scenario.

I noticed this too last night. It's almost definitely a typo because this is the first time they've specified digital copies. Or the text just specifies digital copies because it takes you to the digital store from there.

It's not even mentioned in the official blog post so I wouldn't worry about it.

Just in case you did want a reference to it. Here was an article from Forbes and it mentions a quote from Activisionhere about it not traveling to the gas

And then here is a some text pulled from CODs patch notes: “Despite its “retro” interior, this subway system boasts incredible safety standards; it will not travel to a station that falls outside the safe area during Battle Royale matches, nor move a single inch if there is any conflict aboard its cars.” - link to COD patch notes

> Only a console and an internet connection are needed to participate with no preorder required — but after a few rounds of Champion Hill, it might be something worth considering.

most people perception is that plunder is only for leveling up guns. and raven with the last update specifically mentioned in the blog that the upcoming Clash(Rumble Revamped) mode is especially catered for leveling guns. i wouldn't be surprised if the vanguard WZ doesn't have a plunder and instead just the Clash tdm for that purpose.

Yes and in that video he found its time based. Same as the CoD website literally says

>To advance through these tiers, you simply play the game (either Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, or Modern Warfare). The longer you play, the more Tier progress you get.

https://www.callofduty.com/warzone/strategyguide/pre-game-preparation/wz-battle-pass

The shadowban stuff is probably an automated system that they don't trust to outright ban accounts.

Also keep in mind they said themselves in their last update that they only hardware ban for:

"Some have asked if we issue hardware bans. We do issue hardware bans against repeat, or serial, cheaters. This is an important part of our effort to combat repeat offenders."

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/04/warzone-anti-cheat-progress-report

It's ridiculous. You cheat, ruin hundreds of peoples games, and say you get banned in a month. They don't even attempt to permanently ban you for that! You can just make a new account and even though the hardware ban hurdle would be low, you don't even have to get over it, you just start back up immediately.

this actually isnt true. Batttle pass xp has always been a combination of time played, xp and challenges.

https://www.callofduty.com/blog/page?id=MW-Season-1-Battle-Pass&amp;src=agb

"To advance through these tiers, you simply play the game, earn XP, and complete challenges.
All three actions (playing the game, earning XP, and completing challenges) contribute to your overall Battle Pass XP, and get you closer to the content you’re chasing."

I'm sorry to tell you but they're straight up dumping 30 guns into warzone on december 16

Task manager almost always shows 0% gpu usage, it's not correct, 0%gpu would give you 0 fps. If your CPU is at 78.2% then your CPU is not the problem at least. I'm pretty sure your gpu is at 100%.

You can download HWmonitor from here: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and check to be sure.

Not at home so i can't post a pic but it's quite simple, i have an Exerpeutic stationary bike that i place in front of my 46" TV and i added these pieces that i got from Amazon on the top end of the sticks.

It's not optimal but it works. Ideally they would be lower and closer to me but that's the best i could do, though i could probably find a better fit if i took the time.

I think the best bike suited for this kind of situation would be the ones where you are laid back.

I’m not wiz either but I’ll link the one I have that works just fine. I use this with the HDMI that the PS5 came with which is 2.1

wifi 6 routers have better range than the previous generation of wifi 5. if you can't plug into ethernet, upgrading to this would probably be your best option.

if you live in a really big house I would go with an asus router though as you can buy two of them and link them together to get even better coverage with a little bit of added latency.

I tried that method but it went to 5mbps for some seconds and dropped down eventually till 200kbps. I found the solution and now I get around 15mbps/25mbps.

The trick is to connect thru VPN to an USA server. That was literally it. I downloaded NordVPN and enabled it and it was good to go.

However in this case NordVPN is not free, so I took a month subscription and immediately asked for a refund (and got one). I had to download WZ & MP so that 4mbps for some seconds was not going to cut it.

I have the KontrolKreek Galaxy and the PS4 Back button attachment.

I found the Galaxy's did help my improve my aim/performance when I got them (started using them a few years ago when playing R6 Siege) and then I bought the back button as soon as it came out. I find it very useful even if I am really only using one right now. I just need to train my brain to use the second one.

here is the official blog.

Its partially active and the whole system will not be 100% active until December 3 in COD Warzone only.
Supposedly the server side Machine Learning is collecting data.
The COD Vanguard anti cheat client side kernel will be later...

This is why I did all my military rank and Prestige Ranks 1-3 (Level 100) in Zombies.
I would rather not have to deal with cheaters if given the choice and at least the camos and reticules can be unlocked for Zombies.

The official Verdansk map has a ton of POIs as well: https://www.callofduty.com/content/atvi/callofduty/warzone/web/en/strategyguide/tac-map-atlas.html

>This is all built on the same tech and engine as Call of Duty: Vanguard for seamless weapon integration and play balance, and it all arrives with fully optimized cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-gen support.

It is using the Vanguard engine, updated version of the MW2019 engine. So unless they're going to go back and update a 2 year old games engine, then it will be on the Vanguard client.

Fair play, that is some work you've put in there however only this link 👇 actually specifically talks about detection or anticheat software. The rest alludes to manual reporting/banning or going after cheat sellers.

>https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2021/02/Call-of-Duty-Anti-Cheat-Programs-Update

Either way, you're right, they're pretty incompetent. There seems to be a lot of excitement about the recent tweet and suspicions that a true bona-fide anticheat is coming. I hope it is, I truly do. Some are saying the game is dead already, I don't think that's true but it is definitely declining at a very rapid pace which only seems to gather more speed each week. It won't last a whole lot longer without significantly clamping down on cheaters.

1. Incredibly annoying, like 90%+ of them are kar98/swiss, which are crazy OP with how little flinch they have, they destroy your plates in 1 shot or just kill you in 1 hit, and at the distances the gamemode plays on: bullet drop and bullet velocity aren't important, just point and click. If you try to fire back at them, they have no flinch and just snipe you with ease.
2. 100% agree on this, Promenade and Park/Downtown are good but Port is awful. Port has awful spawns for the first checkpoints, lots of open areas with little cover and once attackers pass the first spawn points, they have the Sun helping them + height advantage, which makes the matter even worse. I think it could be nice a route on north of Downtown (area of Fire station) or on the area between TV Station and Summit, where the school, restaurant and road is. Maybe a route in Hills could be fine too, but may have many open areas.
3. It's not that big of a deal, but yeah, it's annoying. They could also put spawn protection as in Rebirth.
4. There were RC-XDs on the Buy Station the first day, they removed them, probably to avoid people getting stuck with tablets. I don't understand why there are no Sentry Guns, they even appear on the promotional image: https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/cod-touchui/blog/body/mw-wz/WZ-Payload-Guide-004.jpg

The thing that you didn't say and which in my opinion needs to be fixed the first is the fact that once teammates leave, they don't get replenished. That issue leads to having unpopulated second rounds or terribly unbalanced matches.

You have clearly not played enough games if you think other programs are "better". Apex Legends uses EAC, and it's constantly clowned on for having shit protection. PUBG uses BattlEye, and has a $30 paywall entry on top of that, and it still suffers from cheats. And that's not to mention numerous other online games using similar ACs.

Found it. Like I said, it's vague and open ended, but I think it was their way of covering themselves for when the time comes. Still it might not happen.

In fact, it's almost as if that's what they said in a blog post: https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2020/12/Black-Ops-Cold-War-and-Warzone-Season-One-Release-Date

> Between December 7 and December 16, expect lines of communication to be open as we preview numerous elements of Season One, showcasing the massive expansion of incoming content.

Despite its “retro” interior, this subway system boasts incredible safety standards; it will not travel to a station that falls outside the safe area during Battle Royale matches, nor move a single inch if there is any conflict aboard its cars.

The only ‘advantage’ you could have is to how fast your providers DNS servers are, which can give higher or lower ping, but if you manually change this to a public service DNS like Google or Cloudflare as two examples, you could help your ping just a little.

There is a channel called LFG (Looking for Group) Battle Royale and then there is also channels dedicated to each platform, ie ps4, PC, Xbox & mobile.

Wouldn't that primarily be due to rules and regulations on what sort of hardware players use in official competitions? For example, pg 32 of the these Competitive CoD rules, Activision may designate certain product or service categories as “reserved.”

>8.3.7 Computer monitors and CPUs. This category includes monitors and CPUs sold by hardware companies such as HP, Intel, IBM, Samsung, and Asus.

People are going to practice on what they compete with, and that is going to influence fans to use what the pros use.

Prime plus something like the Trust Factor that is also implemented on CS:GO

Honestly in my experience TF works even better than prime. I have found 1/2 cheaters in the last 2 years since the introduction of TF.

Subjective choice! NordVPN is pushed by a heap of YouTubers. It's not too shabby for the price!

If you've got cash to splash ExpressVPN is the best one I've used in terms of latency / packet loss. Any others would impact gaming a little to a lot.. Express VPN was almost indistinguishable from my regular connection.

Bear in mind I wasn't using VPNs to connect to other regions, or even other states (I'm in Australia) - I just had some issues connecting to matches and a VPN was the best way I found to fix it (til the issue got resolved properly - now I don't need to use a VPN).

Update: I downloaded ExpressVPN and tried 10 different locations. Couldn't find a match, it was stuck on "Searching for a match". I also tried several protocols to see if that was an issue, to no avail. You can try your luck tho, might work where you're from.

Facts. Not to mention I have amazing video quality. I did weeks of research to get the way the game looks perfect. I installed software/drivers for my monitor. I edited Nvidia control panel. I edited the monitor software. I edit the cod player player file for better performance (something to do with the amount of cores you have), I edited the in game settings and finally I edited the Nvidia filters. The biggest difference was the software for my monitor! If any of you have a $300+ monitor make sure you install the drivers/firmware/software for it or you are not using its full potential.

That’s my monitor. It’s amazing I love it. The program you download for it is a game changer. You can adjust so many things!

Im in France and using ExpressVPN too, had no problem til today, last days it was between 20/40ping on Egypt VPN and 0 to 5% packetloss max but today it goes up to 50% packetloss then I'm kicked out..

He claimed it didn't matter using the shortest barrel compared to the long when it came to headshots... It definitely did is all. He still does a great job at what he does though so not trying to shed bad light on him. After all, he's human and we mistakes every now and then.

This is the source I like to use. They may have not updated yet maybe.

Idk what servers you are on but I had the same issue on Europe and I did the following, it's now downloading @ 10 MB/s.

Log out of Battle net, chose Americas servers. Download a VPN app (Betternet or something) that allows you to select location. Log in to Battle net Press connect or whatever it says on your VPN app.

Finish downloading the patch and remove the VPN app, logg on to Europe servers again.

I got a tip from another redditor for SaferVPN. Connected to US West Coast and now receive up to 6 MB/s. So not as fast as my internet can be, but it gets the job done. You wont need to enter any creditcard info for SaferVPN, so I recommend that for people who are still struggling to find one.

I'm currently using SaferVPN which is offering a 3 day free trial I believe (and you don't need to enter credit card details).

It's not quite 10mb/s but it's at least between 5-8mb/s which is good enough for me.

Not sure if there's better alternatives.

Honestly, I run a set of Sony earbuds that I bought off of Amazon for $26 (Xbox). I'm sure there are much better options out there for gaming specifically, but these are a great, low cost option with pretty solid sound, a good mic, and decent noise canceling.

The issue might be the server you're trying to connect to. For example, Netflix blocks some servers, as it knows it's a VPN.

Another possibility is the game seems NordVPN running, and just refuses to connect. Similarly to how many games will not allow for connecting if ASUS lighting software is running.

Look up my codtracker. Same as my username. Dude... the Duma and No Lag VPN (not sure about NordVPN) just bypasses the algorithm. It essentially just throws you in a game as fast as possible because it thinks you're in a low populated country. It doesn't effect your ping at all. You're still playing on north American servers.

For those panicking over the code, yes you should NEVER EVER scan random QR codes. This is a do at your own risk.

That said, the QR Code here, opens the BK Mexico App and gives you the BK Promo items. Nothing malicious. Just did it, worked fine (Android 13).

you could use 2 of these with a splitter.

Theres a free VPN called ProtonVPN I use it whenever I need, I picked japan servers and getting about 3.5>4MB/s. Not the best but better than the 100KB/s I was getting.

Seems bnet likes to limit based on geo location

PS5 Pulse 3D official headset.

There are better headsets out there but they get really expensive. This is one of the best in your budget and it’s actually great. Can’t go wrong.

I have a 43 inch ultrawide monitor. Here is the Link. I got it 2 years ago I would go with the new OLED 34 inch Ultrawide now that thing looks amazing.

By “good,” does that mean around 100 FPS at least? Medium settings is my minimum target, just definitely not low settings. I’m looking around on YT and there’s lot of different results, based on how much you tweak things. Kinda confused here.

Also yup I will get WZ2. Based on everything everyone here has said, I was thinking to switch to a 3060, this one in particular. How do you think this will run? Been watching YT videos on it, but every opinion still helps. Definitely not buying now because I’m following r/LaptopDeals as well as monitoring every store I have as options for deals.

Yes I did it all the time, just buy the right one. https://www.amazon.com/Brook-Wingman-Support-Controller-Converter/dp/B08B82M9TG/ref=pd\_lpo\_1?pd\_rd\_w=f8MID&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&amp;pf\_rd\_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&amp;pf\_rd\_r=J84B9EFXP...

i snagged an asus pg27ug juuuust before the pandemic 2 years ago for 1,500. worth every penny. nowadays.... idk man you do you but you're running a ferari with wal-mart tires if you don't get the monitor to match the best that'll be driving it tbh.

Like what is the point of cheating? It's not like you are going to win any kind of money from winning in warzone and/or multiplayer. If banning is so troublesome then why not put detected cheaters/spammers in their own server? Some game developers have done it. Respawn is doing it.

ExpressVPN is the best. But I’m in the same boat as you, my internet is terrible and a vpn wouldn’t help me. It more than likely only helps if you have great internet. Cant imagine it’s really useful for an average player. (Not saying ur just average or anything) but ya get the gist.

Don't buy a router. But something like this. Plug one beside the router in your home . Connect ethernet cable to it. Plug the other one into where you pc/console is. Connect other ethernet cable to console . Pair then up . Job done . Stable connection

Yes you can! Get yourself a router!!

A very basic model will do, like this one for example will do the job, you will improve your stability exponentially!
