Make the most of the early game

The first skill to master in Warzone is how to land properly. The fastest method for landing depends on the distance you want to travel. Check out our in-depth Warzone how to land fast guide to be shown how to land perfectly every time!

If you cut your chute while high above the ground, there’s a few-second gap where you’re able to shoot with your starting pistol. This means it’s often better to fall slightly above those around you, so you can harass them into landing prematurely, or even kill them.

As long as you haven’t cut your chute during the drop, your chute will autodeploy shortly before hitting the ground. But if you have cut your chute, this auto-deploy won’t happen, so you’ll have to remember to deploy manually to avoid a quick and miserable death.

Your three objectives in the first couple of minutes after landing should be: get some decent starting weapons; find and use Armor Plates to maximise your HP; and then accrue enough money to buy a Loadout Drop Marker from a Buy Station (more on this below).
