We tell you about the best locations for landing, as well as where to find cool weapons and equipment
At the beginning of the next match in Call of Duty: Warzone, you always have to choose when to jump out of the plane and where to then fly by parachute. This issue is especially troubling if you are a squad leader or play alone. Many people land closer to the edge of the map to calmly get equipment, save money and then try to survive until the main meat grinder. The more cunning ones sit down approximately in the center of the zone, but farther from the city center – a balance is obtained between the amount of loot and the number of opponents (most of them, out of habit, from the edge of PUBG ). But there are also many who disembark immediately – it makes sense not to delay the first skirmish too.
Next, we will analyze more specific “bread” places in CoD: Warzone and give tips for each location.
The best loot spots in Verdansk
Above we have attached a map compiled by the community of players based on information from the developers. Green squares with numbers mark the dots with the richest loot found – from those received from developers not lower than 5/5 on the value scale. The rarest and most powerful equipment awaits you there.
Keep in mind that many players have already memorized most of these places . Therefore, there is often fierce competition. On the other hand, the plane crosses the city differently at the start of each match. So it is probably better to choose one of the points that are remote from the current route of the aircraft. But if you are confident in your abilities, then good loot can always be knocked out of those who managed to take it before you.
In the next chapter, we’ll take a closer look at the popular landing zones in Verdansk.
Tips for popular drop-off areas in Verdansk
Let’s start with the northern zones, gradually moving southward, looking at the popular zones from west to east at each latitude.
Dam
Beautiful, but not very useful location. There are very few powerful weapons, not enough money and you have to cover long distances between buildings. One store is located on the eastern edge of the dam, and the other 4 are near the roads.
The most sensible thing would be to save up for a set and leave in one of the cars, of which there are many.
Military Base
A very empty and poor loot location , which can only attract a helicopter. There is almost nowhere to occupy a height, and the territory is mostly open. But some climb into the hangars in the center.
In general, we do not recommend getting in here at all . Maybe at the end of the match. But here the final circles rarely converge.
Quarry
An excellent location for the early game, especially if the plane is flying to the side. The main loot is located in the southwestern part. There is a lot of transport near the roads, there is even a truck closer to the center.
In the first minute after landing, beware of enemies on the roofs. In addition, the ground here is about the same color as the uniforms of many fighters – be careful on the street. Thermal sensors and the “Cold-blooded” perk will help to avoid detection yourself.
If you are lucky enough to find the Dead Quiet field modification in the supply box, you can hunt other loot hunters from towers or even inside buildings. Another effective tactic is to lie down on one of the cliffs. Even without a silenced sniper rifle, it will be useful to track where everyone ran.
Airport
One of the most difficult locations for beginners. There are constant clashes for loot throughout the territory. Some occupy the tower, others squabble for money in the main buildings. Both magazines are located in good areas of fire. There is practically no transport.
On the other hand, there are a lot of shelters and premises. You can not go into the main buildings, but pick up a kit in the buildings around, and then steal a buggy near the store in the northeast corner of the location. In addition, the airport is located at the edge of the map, which means that it often turns out to be gassed by the middle of the match.
Considering all of the above, it is better not to stay here for a long time .
Telecentre (TV Station)
There are many blue chests and rare weapons in the building of the TV center, and it itself is clearly copied from the studio from Call of Duty 4 . There is a helicopter on the northeast corner of the roof and 2 cars at the gas station southeast of the studio. There is no store in the area.
Get ready for fierce firefights inside the main building. Also, with special dexterity, it is possible to fly by parachute into the upper part of the TV tower. But you can climb up the stairs too.
If you quickly find a rifle or light machine gun, then try to ambush a helicopter or occupy a tower . Inside the studio, submachine guns are preferred due to their rate of fire.
Garage complex (Storage Town)
In the original, the name refers to warehouses rather than garages. There is no transport here, and there is only 1 store, on the southeastern border of the location, not far from the supermarket ( Superstore ).
The location is good with a lot of cover. You can run to the nearest blue chest and lie inside the garage, listening. At the beginning or end of the match, there will be no constant shooting around, unless there is more than one opponent nearby. If everything is quiet, then clear the garages and run towards the safe zone. In case of an unexpected meeting, be prepared to use a shotgun, submachine gun or even a rocket launcher.
Another tactic is to land first on the roof of the pool building (another CoD 4: MW reference) and look around. In addition, there is often a contract of elimination that will highlight one of the closest enemies.
Supermarket (Superstore)
A popular drop-off location in Blood Money (formerly known as Loot). You can find many packs of bills in the supermarket, but good equipment is rare. There is only 1 store – in a poorly protected area not far from the gas station to the southwest.
If you go inside to buy money for a kit or a set of self-reanimation, do not forget about the huge windows through which you can easily be shot from the street.
Stadium
Another hotspot on the map. You can’t go inside the stadium, but you can find a lot of useful loot near its walls. There are also 5 shops and a lot of transport in the area. The territory of the stadium is adjacent to the urban development of the central district.
You should not sit on the building itself at the beginning of the match – there will be too many enemies on the roof around you, and there is no cover at all. Many wait out the first fierce battles under the bridge to the south or in the forest to the north. The location is very spacious, so sniper rifles and light machine guns show themselves well throughout the territory .
Lumber (Lumber)
A small but very varied development location. There are also cramped rooms, and well-shot, and the ability to take a height. The zone is located at the edge of the map, so there are often many players at the start of the match.
The best tactic would be to land closer to the transport in the south, find any acceptable weapon, open one or two chests, and quickly leave here. There is good loot here, but the competition is too high, and the situations in battle are unpredictable due to the variety of buildings. True, you can still try your luck if at the beginning of the match the plane does not fly too close.
Train Station
The railway station is very densely built up and abounds in tight spaces. It is unlikely that you will often encounter many enemies, so it is quite a good idea to jump here at the beginning of the match.
There is a lot of interesting loot here, and there are fast transport to the north and east. There are also 3 shops, but it is too risky to approach them. It is better to collect more equipment near the landing site, wait for a while and leave for another territory when the shootings subside.
Hospital
The hospital is often located deep in the safe zone. It’s a sniper’s paradise and there is a helicopter right below the main skyscraper. There is a lot of loot in the built-up part of the territory, as well as as many as 3 shops and a couple of cars.
In the “Blood money” mode, when everyone has a kit from the very beginning, many fight for the roof of a skyscraper, forgetting even about collecting money. Be prepared for frequent encounters with the enemy inside buildings, and keep your head from snipers on the street.
Downtown
The richest location for loot. This is a business district in the city center with many buildings with different number of floors, including many high-rise buildings. Also, there are different types of transport and many shops everywhere. In the south, east and north of downtown, shops are located in the courtyards and are well covered.
It’s always hot in downtown Verdansk, there are always a lot of players and a lot of adventure in every sense. Many combat situations will take place in tight spaces, and it is better to get out of the streets quickly. Therefore, it is better to choose a submachine gun as the main weapon while staying in this location, and a sniper rifle as an additional weapon. Also useful are mines blocking the entrance to your ambush.
Port (Port)
This place is very dangerous in the middle of the match , when everyone has already acquired long-range weapons – at least one of the 7 cranes will probably have a sniper. And at the beginning of the match, you can try to become one of them yourself, quickly strip off the main buildings. There is a well-defended store to the north, and a car to the east of it. In addition, there is a helicopter on the southern outskirts, near the coast.
In the “Blood money” mode it is better not to climb here – there is not much currency to collect, and the place to send it is well shot.
Prison
A very popular and dangerous location. Most land on one of the towers and try to shoot those who are more likely to run towards the helicopter. However, there is a place to hide in the courtyard, and long-range weapons are found in the chests.
The smartest tactic here is to fly around the walls of the fortress from the south and climb to the lower levels through a tunnel. While you are picking up good loot in the dungeon, at the top, the majority will either smash each other or run away. And after a while a new helicopter will appear.
Verdansk is a truly huge map, woven from places familiar from past games in the Modern Warfare series. We wrote this material based on our own experience in Verdansk over the past month since the release of Warzone.
