Patch 1.28 also introduced a new weapon – the JAK-12. The first fully automatic shotgun in Modern Warfare and Warzone is currently more popular and hated than any other weapon in a long time. Our setup is guaranteed to drive your opponents up the wall.

Patch 1.28 is now a good week old, but as always, we wanted to put the new weapon through its paces before providing you with a setup guide. The JAK-12 is, unsurprisingly, based on the AA-12 and is a fully automatic shotgun. This means you can simply hold down the trigger and empty the entire magazine within a few seconds. To unlock it, all you have to do is collect three shots from the hip with any shotgun in seven different matches. The JAK-12 is already extremely powerful at short distances without attachments, but when properly equipped it will destroy anything at longer distances.

Setup
The JAK-12’s high rate of fire makes it a very strong choice in almost any situation, and with the right attachments and certain ammunition, it can still be dangerous even at medium distances. Our setup therefore focuses on getting as much range out of the weapon as possible. We leave the choice of ammunition up to you, but of course explain the advantages and disadvantages.

This setup maximizes the effective range of the JAK-12, making it a scary and, for your opponents, damn annoying weapon at almost all ranges.

• Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder
• Barrel: ZLR J-2800 Torrent (in English ZLR J-3600 Torrent)
• Laser: 5mW laser
• Underbarrel: Mercenary foregrip
• Ammo: 20-round drum magazine/8-S Dragon Breath/8-round FRAG-12 magazine

As previously announced, we want to maximize the range of the JAK-12. To do this, we’ll take the FORGE TAC silencer, which increases range, reduces dispersion, and hides you on the minimap, and the ZLR J-2800 flash flood barrel, which also increases range and reduces dispersion. The laser makes you shoot more accurately from the hip, which is never wrong with shotguns, and the sprint to fire speed is increased. The mercenary foregrip reduces recoil during sustained fire and lets you aim faster.

• The 20-round drum magazine is perfect for run-and-gun gameplay on small maps. This way you rarely have to reload and collect a lot of kills.
• The 8-S Dragon Breath ammunition is already known from numerous other shotguns. The advantage is that enemies are set on fire and with a bit of luck die from it, should the first hit not have taken them out. However, 8 rounds is quite little, so make sure you always reload.
• The 8-round FRAG-12 magazine is particularly suitable for long distances. With this magazine you shoot small grenades that explode on impact and cause damage in a small radius. With this ammunition, you can also inflict a lot of damage on vehicles in Warzone.

What do you think of the JAK-12 so far? In our opinion, it’s an extremely powerful weapon that’s a lot of fun to play with yourself. But that’s also the problem, because that’s what a lot of players are finding at the moment, which is why it’s almost the only weapon you’ll come across at the moment. Due to the fully automatic firing mode and the quite high range, the JAK-12 can also get on your nerves quite a bit, especially if you don’t want to just run around with it yourself.

CALL OF DUTY – Guide – Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Get the upper hand with these tips and tricks for Call of Duty: Warzone. Call of Duty: Warzone is the new star in the Battle Royal sky. The Free2Play game, which was only launched at the beginning of March, set an incredible player record within a very short time. If you want to join the fray yourself, you can find useful tips and tricks for getting started in our beginner’s guide.

The Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a long time coming. Since March 10, CoD: Warzone has finally been available, and even as a free2play variant. So it’s no wonder that the multiplayer hit pulverized the player records of Apex Legends within a very short time. This is also due to the fact that Warzone does a few things differently compared to the well-known competition. If you’re planning to throw yourself into the fray and are still looking for a tip or two, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for in this CoD: Warzone beginner’s guide.

Tip 1: What to consider before landing

Even during the approach sequence, you can see where the first circle is placed by opening the map, while the preferred landing position can be selected by pressing a button. These valuable seconds can be used to agree on a target together with your teammates.

Tip 2: The correct use of the parachute

As in any battle royale shooter, in CoD: Warzone it is important to land as quickly as possible after the jump and to be the first to grab the best weapons or items. This is achieved by opening the parachute after the jump and cutting it directly, which significantly increases the flight speed.

You can reopen and cut the parachute as many times as you like. This is especially useful for flying to destinations far from the flight path. Bonus tip: With the parachute cut, the character pulls out the pistol, which allows firing at enemies.

Tip 3: Life energy and armor

By default, each character in Warzone starts with two armor plates, the maximum being three bars. New plates can be found on the map, and having the most impeccable armor possible significantly increases your chances of victory. All three armor slots should always be filled, if possible (indicated by the blue HUD indicator at the bottom left).

If you take damage in battle, the self-healing known from the main game takes effect – there are no medikits in Warzone. If you are hit, you should simply take cover for a few seconds to regenerate your life energy.

Tip 4: Orders are worthwhile (some at least)

There are three different types of missions on the Verdansk map, marked with yellow tablet icons. Completing the missions rewards your team with additional money and bonus weapons that provide a decisive advantage in the fight for survival.

• Bounty mission (crosshair icon): Kill a given target
• Recon mission (flag icon): Secure and hold a specific area.
• Loot mission (binocular icon): Loot three loot boxes one after the other.

The looting missions bring the biggest advantage, since the three targets are in the immediate vicinity and reward your own team with a good chunk of money as well as powerful guns.

Tip 5: Listen carefully

Connoisseurs of the Call of Duty series know anyway how important a good headset is when playing. Of course, this also applies to Warzone mode. Footsteps of enemies in the vicinity, gunfire in the distance, loot boxes in the immediate vicinity – all of this can be picked out and those who can locate and interpret these acoustic signals have an enormous advantage.

Blue loot boxes, for example, which entice you with additional money and powerful weapons, can be located by a buzzing soundthat gets louder the closer you get to the object of your desire.

But the reconnaissance missions are not to be sneezed at either: If the team succeeds in completing them, the area of the next circle is marked on the tactics map. Thus, you learn in advance which areas will provide protection from the deadly gas.

Tip 6: What it’s worth spending money on

In the course of a round, you inevitably accumulate a considerable amount of money. But what should you spend it on anyway? Money is used in the Battle Royale shooter to request killstreaks or equipment drops at the store stations marked in green, or to bring back teammates who have died.

With a bit of luck, Killstreaks can also be found in loot boxes. Picking them up and using them is absolutely always recommended, as the advantage is enormous.

The in-game money can be invested in the following advantages at the buy stations, for example:

• Additional armor plates ($ 1500)
• Shield gun ($ 2000)
• Cluster Strike ($ 3000)
• Gas Mask ($ 3000)
• Precision Air Strike ($ 3500)
• UAV Drone ($ 4000)
• Self-Resuscitation ($ 4500)
• Squad resuscitation ($ 4500)
• Ammo Box ($ 5000)
• Equipment drop ($ 6000)

The UAV drone is the most rewarding, as it briefly reveals enemy positions in the area, as well as the equipment drop – the only way to use self-made loadouts and thus fully equipped weapons in Warzone.

Tip 7: What to look for in the Gulag

Warzone features a respawn system unique to the genre in the form of the Gulag. Players who have died in Verdansk are shipped to the prison, where they fight in a 1-vs-1 against another player to get back in. Those who lose can only be resurrected by their teammates from then on.

Other players who enter the gulag initially start as spectators on the upper tiers. Teammates can give instructions about the opponent’s position here, for example, but all players have the opportunity to influence the fight that is currently taking place – by throwing stones.

Just like a stun grenade, the stone doe’s one point of damage and is more suited to distracting the players below. However, with some skill, it can also be used to make kills, for example by triggering C4.

Since the lighting in the Gulag is not very good, enemies are correspondingly difficult to spot in the semi-dark. However, there is a simple trick to change that. CoD: Warzone allows you to spray spray logos on walls and other environments – as well as enemies – at the touch of a button. This can be turned into an advantage by making your opponent shine brightly with some yellow paint.
