Introducing DefendTheHouse, a YouTube channel that’s dedicated itself to busting video game myths for some of the world’s most popular games. And it doesn’t get much more popular than Call of Duty’s free-to-play battle royale mode, Warzone.
Their most recent Mythbusters Volume 19 video asked and answered several questions from Warzone players, including whether or not you can down a chopper using the ballistic knife (you can, it just takes a lot of knives), if you can assassinate a henchman for the ’80s Action Hero Event (negative on that one), and what happens to your loadout marker if it strikes a trophy system (it looks like the loadout marker blows up, but it actually just goes back into your inventory).
But the biggest question asked was whether or not you can call down an unlimited number of loadout drops if enough players were to magically save their cash and all decide to call in their loadouts at the same time and in the same space. The answer is yes, you can do it, but at a cost.
Presumably, the test parameters were fairly simple. DefendTheHouse put out a call for Warzone players to take part in a private match where everyone would just sit around and gather cash. After everyone had accrued enough greenbacks to afford their loadout drops, the event organizers gathered everyone in a single place and then asked them to toss their markers at roughly the same time.
And then this happened.
Warzone doesn’t seem to like that many people or loadout boxes being in the same place all at once. Player models become super low rez and the loadout boxes start glitching in and out of view even as they get stacked several stories high.
The moral of the story is that you should call in your loadout drop as soon as you can and not wait for everyone else.
