The subway network will run in a loop around Verdansk, allowing players to move quickly around the map. This will now become the fastest way to reach the desired location in any match. Additionally, the design of the subway stations will also enable a different kind of combat.

The Subway network runs around the map and is the fastest way to travel

There are seven subway stations coming to the map, where each one of them has the same layout. Each station will have a ground level, another level below it that leads to an inaccessible ticket counter, and another one below it that leads to the tracks. There are multiple areas to explore in these underground stations where players will find Contracts, Supply Boxes, and enemies.

One of the most prominent features of Call of Duty Warzone is that it allows verticality in its combat. From skyscrapers to mountaintops and even dams, structures enable a more vertical approach to combat.

With the addition of these underground areas, players now have yet another aspect added to the game?s combat mechanics. This definitely changes the strategy with which players approach every game and will definitely prove to be useful in high-pressure situations.

One major point that the official blog highlights is that the subway will not move if there is fighting on board the trains. Players will be stuck in one place in case they are engaged in combat while aboard the train.

Tips to use the Subway network in Call of Duty Warzone

Activision has shared 10 tips to ensure that players can make complete use of this network.

• Ambush. Ambush.?Because of the potential impact of this fast travel system, don?t let your enemies use it for free. If you suspect an enemy squad is underground, try setting up equipment traps in stairwells or surrounding the entrance to catch them as they exit.
• A Haven for CQB Play.?Although larger areas, such as the first-floor landing and station platforms, open up for more mid-range weaponry, SMGs and shotguns can be extremely effective within every subway station. Especially within the stairwells, an operator who isn?t afraid to be up close and personal may find the most success in surviving the Metro.
• Fire in the Hole!?Whether it?s down an escape hatch or a set of winding staircases, bounceable equipment pieces, such as Frag and Snapshot Grenades, can be great tools for smoking out enemy players that lurk below the surface. Just make sure that equipment piece will bounce at the right angle down towards the enemy, lest you and the squad be blinded by a mis-thrown Flash Grenade.

Fastest way to travel for completing contracts in Call Of Duty Warzone

• The Express Track for Contract Completion.?Along with avoiding Bounties, the fast travel system could help with a few contracts that may require travel around the map. For example, a Supply Run could lead to a Store mere steps from a station two stops down the line, while Most Wanted Operators can duck into the system to avoid hotly contested zones.
• Detours and Flank Routes.?These tunnels were key for AQ forces moving around Verdansk quickly without much of a trace. Using the subway system as they did could be a great strategy, as riding the subway for a few stops and popping back up across the map may help your squad shake an enemy team in pursuit or catch a high value target.

Additional tips to dominate in Verdansk

• In Case of Emergency, Use Ladder.?The escape ladders found at every Metro station can either be used as an alternative entrance to the fast travel system, or as an emergency exit in case fighting underground becomes unbearable. However, because these ladders lead to holes on the surface, be extra careful around the subway stations, or you might step over an escape hatch and take an embarrassing trip to the Gulag.
• Leave No Corner Unchecked.?Much like other interior spaces around Verdansk, there are plenty of item gathering opportunities within each subway station. Especially in those small rooms on the platform level, there is now more to these metro stations than what appeared on the surface.
• Mind the Gap.?This almost goes without saying, but don?t try to step onto the subway tracks. Not only is it a recipe for death, but your squadmates will most likely be unable to pick up any belongings after your misadventure.

• The One True Safe Area.?Remember that the subway will not move if there is fighting aboard a subway train or between it and the platform. Use this limited downtime to reload weapons, swap items around the squad, or just take a breather before getting out at the next stop.
• The Fastest Way to Get Around Verdansk. At its core, this is a smart fast travel system that can be used by any and all operators. While not a massive new zone in terms of surface area, expect its impact on getting around Verdansk to be game-changing.

Use these tips to get accustomed to the new features in Verdansk, and dominate every match.
