Proximity chat in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 makes hunting much more enjoyable

Although many players will immediately mute proximity chat in a Call of Duty game to avoid revealing their position or hearing everyone in a lobby, unmuting can result in healthy moments for those enjoying the game. In a recent Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 match, two players are chased by another who drops them, and when the trio discover they have proximity chat, things don’t quite end up the way the downed players originally did had expected.

Reddit user u/AntiPeity shared the short video where they follow two players during a Warzone 2.0 match. AntiPeity storms up the stairs, knocks them both down, and triumphantly announces with a quick “Surprise!” that they’ve finally found these two players after a long search.

The two players respond, and before AntiPeity finishes them off, the trio exchange quick greetings, and AntiPeity asks if they have self-revive, but only one of them does. The two players who are down try to make a deal with AntiPeity, saying that they have the option to knock out one of them to guess which of them has it, and if AntiPeity guesses wrong, the person can be revived in order to to get back into the game.

However, AntiPeity has a better idea and has them both revive and jump away to continue the rest of the game, both parties exchanging quick words of thanks and well wishes.

The swap is an incredibly rare sight, especially in competitive game modes like Call of Duty’s Warzone 2.0. Not every game allows random players to interact in this way, but it’s a welcome sight on day one of Call of Duty’s Warzone 2.0 release.

Several others on the Call of Duty Warzone Reddit have already started reacting to AntiPiety’s act of mercy, with some even suggesting it might be a feature. However, if these players were playing in a larger game mode than duos, they might have been able to invite AntiPeity to their team by using the emote wheel to add an enemy to their team. For those looking to add enemy squadmates to your team, here’s how you can do it, with fun and sane proximity chat.
