The much-anticipated Call of Duty: Warzone is finally here and comes with two game modes – Battle Royale and Plunder. The Battle Royale pits a squad comprising three members against up to 49 other teams in a 'last squad standing' match with up to 150 players.

Plunder, on the other hand, tasks players with collecting the most in-match cash by looting across the map, stealing money from the enemies, and completing in-game contracts. Warzone takes place within Verdansk, an expansive city which has a number of named zones and more than 300 points of interest.

  • Nvidia has recently released a new driver which has been tailored specifically to optimise the Call of Duty: Warzone performance. This is very essential for a stable experience.
  • Shut down all the extraneous programs that are running in the background.
  • Lastly, you may also try running Warzone on a lower setting. This mostly works for newer games as the odd ultra settings can sometimes be problematic to the graphics card. You can try turning all the settings down to a minimum, before gradually taking them back up one at a time.
