Camping has been part of theCall of Dutyworld for generations, andCall of Duty: Warzoneis no exception. The idea is that if a player simply stays put in one place, there is less of a chance of them being killed. In a massive map likeWall of Duty Warzone’sVerdansk, there are tons of places for players to simply hide from trouble.
Usually, when a player is camping, they will watch a stairwell or ladder waiting for an unsuspecting victim to wander on by. It is in these moments that they can score a few kills without becoming vulnerable or giving up their position. InCall of Duty: Warzone,the prison’s towersoften become a popular place for enemy players to hide and wait out the game.

While this is usually met with mixed results, Reddit user SwagPanther69 had their own unique solution to dealing with a camping player. In this particular situation, the camper decided totake out aWarzone"Most Wanted" contract. As this is a duos game, they are most likely waiting out the timer hoping that their teammate will respawn. While this may have worked, SwagPanther wandered upon the spot and noticed a unique opportunity. As they walk up the stairwell they turn to look up at the nearby ladder.
There is no doubt that the camping player is waiting at the ladder for players, so ascending would be a death sentence. Thankfully, SwagPanther noticed the circling helicopter blades that rotate past every few seconds.
Helicopters are extremely vulnerable to explosives and although theCall of Duty: WarzoneC4 charge had been nerfed, grenades are still as strong as ever. Pulling out a lethal frag grenade, SwagPanther cooks it for a few seconds before tossing it up at the helicopter’s rotating blades. The grenade impacts the blade and immediately detonates, destroying the helicopter and causing a bigger explosion that kills the camping player.
While theModern WarfareC4 chargemay not travel as far as it used to, this is a great reminder that the other explosives are still at their normal strength. Sticky grenades, frag grenades, andevenWarzoneMolotovs are extremely usefulin taking down camping players. Of course, it is also helpful to have a convenient helicopter nearby to add to the initial explosion.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
