Warzone Players Discover Trick To Help Teammates In The Gulag

When the race is on to get out of the Gulag and back into the thick of the battle before your loadout is consumed by the impending gas storm, having players hold you up by whiffing shots is not what you need. 

The addition of the balconies as a viewing area has been somewhat problematic for players though, as they are often killed from what seems like the opposition scanning their every move. In actual fact, they just have a teammate manoeuvring them around the map by revealing their exact location. In the current Nuketown "Gulag" (let's not get into that - we'll be here all day), the gun meta allows Claymores to be a part of the arsenal - you know, because prisoners of war always smuggle a claymore between the cheeks. This has given a lone ranger some further protection against being ganged up on.

However, some eagle-eyed duos have taken advantage of their audacious aim by hurling rocks at claymores as if they're Babe Ruth pitching their way into the MLB Hall of Fame.

As you can see in the above clip, Reddit user "gungachief" first catches his teammates opponent in the dome with a stunningly accurate pitch, before bailing him out of jail by connecting with a claymore and subsequently blowing up the prisoner.

Many players have now put a price on his life which outweighs the hefty $4,000 that Warzone fans have become accustomed to splashing. One user stated "He owes you a couple of self revives for that", whilst others jibed "He owes you at least three loadout drops". 

Despite the mechanic being a one-in-a-million opportunity, some players have argued that it shouldn't be in the game, especially with the kill being allocated to his teammate - after all, he didn't technically win the 1v1 battle. 

It's got to be better than fists and throwing knives though, right?
