In an entertaining new post on r/CODWarzone, Redditor curtisjoesakic shared a video showing a clever way to add a bit more chaos to the game’s already madcap April Fools’ mode. Taking advantage of the lowered gravity, the clip shows curtisjoesakic bounding superhero-like across the battlefield with one ofCall of Duty: Warzone 2’s crossbowsin hand as they chase a fleeing opponent. Eventually managing to catch up to the other player, curtisjoesakic unleashes a thermite-tipped crossbow bolt into their enemy, knocking them down before launching them skyward. Adding insult to injury, the clip closes with one more crossbow bolt being let loose to finish off the foe as they plummet back down to the ground.
Redditors responding to theimpressiveCall of Duty: Warzone 2clipwere amused by the combination of precision shooting and outright hilarity, with several comments complimenting curtisjoesakic on landing the killing blow with their follow-up shot. Referencing the tendency of the Pokemon anime’s villains to find themselves being flung skyward after their plans are foiled, one commenter responding to the video quipped “Team Rocket’s blasting off again.” Another response was in awe of the fancy shooting on display in the clip, but also admitted that they would “have rage quit so hard" after being killed in that way.
Blending skilled shooting with perfect comic timing, this video is a must-watch for fans of the free-to-play shooter. And while some may choose to avoidCall of Duty: Warzone 2until the game gets back to normal, this clip shows that the April Fools’ mode has plenty of fun to offer those who don’t mind a bit of silliness in their shooters.
