First Steps & Resources

Get-Started Steps
Time to basics: 2-3 weeks
1

Master Warzone Basics

5-10 hoursBasic
Summary: Play solo and squad matches to learn maps, mechanics, and game flow before seeking a clan.
Details: Before joining a Warzone clan, it's crucial to understand the game's core mechanics, map layouts, weapon handling, and basic strategies. Spend time playing both solo and squad matches to get comfortable with movement, looting, contracts, and the Gulag. Focus on learning the main points of interest, common loot spots, and how the circle closes. Beginners often struggle with situational awareness and quick decision-making; overcome this by watching replays and noting mistakes. Use practice modes to refine aim and movement. This foundational step is vital because clans expect members to have a baseline competence, ensuring smoother team coordination. Evaluate progress by tracking your kill/death ratio, survival time, and ability to make quick, effective decisions under pressure.
2

Observe Clan Playstyles

2-3 hoursBasic
Summary: Watch clan gameplay streams or videos to understand team dynamics, communication, and strategies.
Details: To integrate into the Warzone clan scene, observe how established clans operate. Watch live streams or recorded matches featuring clan squads. Pay attention to their communication, callouts, role assignments (e.g., sniper, support), and how they coordinate during high-pressure situations. Beginners often overlook the importance of teamwork and communication, focusing too much on individual play. Take notes on how clans rotate, share resources, and make strategic decisions. This step helps you internalize what is expected in a clan environment and prepares you for the social and tactical aspects of clan play. Progress is evident when you can identify different roles, understand callouts, and recognize coordinated strategies in action.
3

Join Warzone Clan Communities

2-4 hoursIntermediate
Summary: Register on clan recruitment forums or Discord servers to connect with active clans and learn about their cultures.
Details: Engage with the Warzone clan community by joining recruitment forums, Discord servers, or social media groups dedicated to clan activities. Introduce yourself, read clan requirements, and observe how members interact. Many beginners make the mistake of spamming applications or not respecting clan-specific rules. Instead, take time to understand each clan's culture, values, and expectations. Ask questions about their play schedules, communication tools, and onboarding process. This step is essential for finding a clan that matches your playstyle and goals. Progress is measured by your ability to identify clans that interest you and by making respectful, informed inquiries or applications.
