The time limit is incredibly quick, so if you want to come out on top, you can’t miss a beat. Communication and collaboration is key.

How to win CoD Warrior Mini Game

If you want to win the CoD Mini Games there are a few key points you need to pay attention to. In such a high-speed, intense game mode, you need to go in with some tactics. You can just go in all guns blazing. Well, no, you can and you should, but just point them in the right direction.

  • Communicate – All of these game modes are fast and furious and limiting. Talk to your teammates and make game plans for which direction you want to push and which lanes to dominate. Communication will make the short amount of seconds you have the most productive they can be. Don’t forget to grieve the other team over the mic, too. If you’re not getting coms banned at least once a month, you’re playing CoD wrong.
  • Don’t Hesitate – Every second counts, so get moving as fast as you can. Camping will result in no result.
  • Adapt – Expect to be playing outside of your comfort zone. Weird load-outs and odd setups are going to have you on the back foot. However, your enemies will be too.
  • Stick Together – Move as a team. If you split up, you die alone.
