Call of Duty: Warzone is a unique game in its genre, but that is not because it and the other games of its franchise are counted among the category’s gold standard, or at least not just because of it. Call of Duty: Warzone allows players an opportunity to escape death and save themselves from the process of starting from all over again, and that opportunity is Gulag.
To those who have played this game before, Gulag is a site they must have been quite familiar with by now. But to those who have not played this game yet and are planning to foray into Call of Duty: Warzone, Gulag can be easily explained as a duel with an opportunity to get back to the land of the living. You also will not have to start from the bottom if you win your duel in Gulag. But Gulag is more of a hit and a miss as it is more likely that you will lose your duel in Gulag than win. However, there are examples out there of players who used some unique tricks to win the round.
One such player, named Mitchyboyyhd, performed one such unique trick, which has become one of the more popular hacks, and one can easily find such Warzone hacks from Battlelog.co that will improve their chances of victory. The trick here is using an in-game spray from Warzone’s Season 3 battle pass on the back wall. This spray depicts a soldier holding a gun and can be used to fool enemy players. Our protagonist did exactly that at the start of their Gulag round, and when the enemy player in the round tried to attack the decoy, Mitchyboyyhd just went around the opponent and finished them off.
Now, if it sounds sketchy to you, then you are not the only one. Several players of the game have questioned whether the duel is staged as the opponent’s behavior seems a bit weird and cast doubts on the authenticity of the duel. But here, one should keep in mind that staging such a duel in Call of Duty: Warzone is near impossible as the game chooses the participants of the Gulag battle in random. So, we can safely give the player the benefit of the doubt in this case.
But this is not the only way one can win their battle in a Gulag match. Another video posted on Reddit suggests another hidden trick that can be utilized for victory, and the best part about it is that you can use the help of your teammates in this. Now many readers might be questioning how is this possible? Gulag is a 1v1 match, where no one is allowed to interfere. And to certain extent that is true. But there is a way teammates of a player can help them win the round, and that is by throwing rocks at enemy players. Yes, you read that right; throwing rocks is allowed in Call of Duty: Warzone Gulag battle. And even though the rocks do not damage the player much, they could irritate the enemy player or even prove decisive if their health is extremely low. In the posted example, the enemy player tried to place a claymore, but unfortunately, a rock landed on the claymore resulting in the explosion, which resulted in a win for the other side.
While these two methods are quite popular, they would be hard to emulate for players, especially beginner players. So, what can one do in such a situation? Well, luckily for you, there is an easy way for one to increase their chances of victory in a Gulag battle, and the best part about it is that you do not have to learn a trick or rely on others for victory, and that trick is equipping yourself with AK-47. Yes, you read that right – it is as simple as that. AK-47 is considered by many in the Call of Duty: Warzone community as an OP (Over Powered) Gun, which has good damage, excellent range, and low recoil, making it the weapon for choice for a Gulag fight. There have even been calls asking the Call of Duty franchise to either nerf the weapon or ban it altogether from Call of Duty: Warzone, so you can easily understand how much of an advantage you would have with AK-47 in your Gulag battle.
But while these tips and tricks are sure to help you out, there is still a possibility that you would be on the wrong end of a fight and would have to start your journey from the beginning. Or is there is a way around it? In fact, there is! Your teammates can revive you using their credits. So, it would be a smart strategy for you to share your spoils with your teammates, so they can revive you in the future if required!
