News - 5 Things You Need To Do To Solo Queue To Iridescent On Warzone 2 Ranked Play
Increase awareness
Now the next thing I want to mention is awareness. Now, this is as I say one of the biggest things when you're solo you don't get coms you don't get information from your team and you can't give information to your team unless you turn your mic on so awareness is something that people do often struggle with so use your mini map you can see where teammates are a very quick glance and see where they're holding if they're holding a certain point on hardpoint for example hold something different, use this info to fill the Gap yourself don't rely on your teammates to fill the Gap as I say control what you can control fill the Gap yourself, you can also there's a set I use which you're going to see here where you can bring the mini map Clos to the middle of your screen for make which generally makes check in your mini map get to the tech map this is literally just the larger version of the mini map that covers the whole map you can use for info to see where your teammates are holding and as I say you can see where red dots appear.
When they shoot and when people are live-marking and things like that, that's just a bigger version of the mini map. I don't see enough people use it, but it's super helpful, especially if you're solo, and it gives you so much valid and valuable information. And talking of live marks, I feel like this is something people don't do enough of, although it might be difficult because you have to take your thumb off the left stick.
If you've got a scuff or a modded controller of some sort, you can, you know, change it to something you put on a bumper at the back of your controller. But try and Liv Mark where possible because they are very overpowered, if you're in a sticker gun fight you're watching across for information a simple press of one button while centered on an enemy will live mark them for the entire team, for the next 3 4 seconds which obviously is super useful for you but also enables the teammate to know exactly where an enemy is without you being able to call out or without you having to call out without them having to hear you so that's super valuable information that and hope valuable information for your whole team that you should try and get into the swing of things and get into the habit of doing if you are constantly solo qm because I say it doesn't just benefit you it benefits the whole the whole team, and again you as I said you can see this live M on the mini map and the TAC map so even though it's across the map if you know someone's life Mark something you can just bring it your Tech map and you know exactly where they are and that you can play off that info, the next I want to say is comms.
And this is obviously a bit.
Communication
Are but jump on the mic yourself if you are hop in and show that you're friendly other people are more likely to hop in game chat as well and it's almost like you're not soloin at that point if you've got four people communicating effectively, it's almost like you're not soloin even though you are and you can you know you can play off each other's communication be the role model for a clear concise communication so that the teammates you'll put with follow suit and don't forget even if you don't have teammates Comming they're likely in another Xbox party or Discord chat somewhere so they might be listening still so it's still worth doing so it's still worth even though no one's maybe, communicating back to you it might still be worth communica because there may be someone listening so as long as it's not too honorous of a task and you can.
Communicate you may as well you may as well that it can be the difference between a win and a loss for your team. Obviously, that doesn't directly benefit you, but as I say, it gives you a better chance of winning the game. And the next thing I want to see, go through here, is Spa knowledge. Now I know spa knowledge is a general must for quads.
I'm going to quickly, you know, guide you through a couple of things here. Now the next thing you want to become an expert in is spawning. This is obviously really important for Call of Duty as a whole, but as a solo queer, knowing where people are spawning can obviously benefit you because it's free information that doesn't necessarily rely on other people communicating.
Via their voice or live P, so I say knowing spawns gives you so much info.
Spawns
So the most valuable info from knowing spawns probably isn't where the enemy spawn spawns but where your teammate spawns now if your teammate spawns in a certain area this will give you full info on the areas in which your enemies are making it EAS for to pushes from the enemy so let's take this example here this is on Karachi, your teammate has just Bor P2 in that little light blue ring, and you're on the hill you're sort of expecting them to come through red now that would tell you that an enemy member of an enemy teammate or an enemy player has pushed through the right street because they're blocking that initial yellow spawn that you're seeing there so that is a very clear way if you know a team it's just one P2, okay there's going to be someone flanking through the right street through P4 I probably need to pick that up or at least be aware that someone might be there another situation but let's say let's say no one on your team's dying let's say there's no one to respawn to tell you where the enemy might be.
No matter where your teammates are, even though you are getting kills, they will tell you exactly where your enemies are likely to spawn, making it easy for you to play for easy pre-kills, hold cuts, and get there before the team does, and therefore increase your score and increase your SR at the end of the game.
This is just another example of why your team is holding P5. On Invasion, someone's at the back of Spock's spawn. Someone's watching back there. You can be that player who's furthest left on the mini map, cutting off the spawns and the enemy's route to the hill, because you know that's where they're going to be spawning.
They're going to be spawning in that ice cream at this point, so you can be playing for these cuts because you know that's where they're going to be spawning because of where your enemies and teammates are. Lord, learning spawns also enables you to be able to place them in place to block the good spawns, so this is probably a little bit less advised for this purpose of the article.
But this will make gunfights far easier for your team, and it will make it harder for the enemy to get to the hill, therefore increasing your chances of winning generally, which is obviously how you get Sr., but obviously be careful doing this because blocking the spawns is that person blocking spawns.
Can be hard for the game to recognize you're not going to be getting as many kills you're not going to be getting as many engagements. And generally, you're probably not getting as much heill time because you're blocking spawns, and as a result, the game doesn't recognize that, and it's going to think you're a worst player, and the end result of it thinking you're a worst player is essentially that it gives you less Sr, so let's take this example here on Skidrow P3, which is up at the very bottom of the mini map, where your teammate's on the hill, your teammate's pushed up to Plat, and you're playing an integral role for your team.
Here your set backups are blocking this laundry spawn, blocking the top app spawn, and you're spawning the enemy all the way to the other side next to P5 and P2. And essentially, you doing this, you flanking to this route means that the enemies have got to push teammates, holding the plat position, which is height, which is disgusting, for them to break, and it makes your teammates, enables your teammates to get far easier kills, and generally holds the hill easier.
