Paradise is a rather dull, albeit good-looking map in Call of Duty: Vanguard – Season 1. It is quite large, but offers little interesting stuff. Here is our map guide!

Paradise is the weaker of the two new maps in Call of Duty: Vanguard – Season One and was released on December 8. It was originally designed for 6v6 matches in standard multiplayer modes, but is also available for different player counts. Paradise is a sprawling map with impressive vistas that plays during the day. It’s ideal for objective-based game modes, but that’s where the Paradise utopia ends. Check out the map description here:

A weapons test site somewhere in the Pacific Ocean hosts all task force operators for joint exercises. Medium-sized map with three levels that includes an underground tunnel and pools of toxic waste.

Paradise is a weaker map in Call of Duty: Vanguard. It’s big, sprawling and kind of dull. There really isn’t much to see here, although the wide open spaces make a nice contrast to the alleys you can see on the mini-map (but we’ll get to that in a moment). If you play with higher combat pacing, this map can be quite nice, but so far we’re not really impressed. Here is our Paradise Map Guide!

Paradise: The Map
Paradise is supposed to be a weapons test facility in the Pacific Ocean. The medium sized battles on the map run between various corridors and small hills that dot the beautiful landscape. You can see parts of an archipelago of Pacific islands in the background, and the whole thing is really insanely beautiful. Paradise is kind of mega confusing, though. It’s hard to get your bearings, and the more open area in the northern part of the map ends up being the main combat arena, while the winding corridors are just for flanking enemies. Check out the mini-map to get a feel for the map:

Paradise Gameplay Overview & Tactics
We don’t know exactly what to make of Paradise. The expansive space suggests that you’ll need longer-range weapons, but the corridors require something for melee encounters. We weren’t the biggest fans of Gavutu, but at least it was relatively even and solid (aside from the weird beach area). So you knew which weapons were best to play there. With Paradise, it’s not so clear because of the strange structure of the map. The corridors require things like SMGs and shotguns, but the larger areas lend themselves to snipers and DMRs.

There are also the interior areas of the map, which aren’t thatoo important, but are already a bit of a challenge. We recommend you stay in the central area of the map as much as possible to collect kills and level up your weapons for Warzone (that’s what we’re all here for, after all). Use the side alleys to flank your opponents and coordinate with your team. And don’t forget to enjoy the view, it’s damn beautiful!

Now comes the tricky part: take an assault rifle with decent range, maybe the robot or even the new Cooper carbine. Combine that with a sniper, such as the Kar98k, and some solid grenades. We would recommend thermite or incendiary grenades. Other than that, make sure your Perks increase your speed and accuracy. Paradise may not be the best map ever seen on our screens, but we have to admit that it’s a hell of a lot of fun if you do it right…. so it’s best to play with friends!

All Hardpoint Locations on Paradise

Paradise, like most Call of Duty: Vanguard multiplayer maps, has five different hardpoint locations. As usual, they rotate among themselves and you have to capture them. The map above gives a good overview of where these hardpoints are located on the map. The numbers correspond to the following:

Lab
Chemical Road
The Underground
Flak Gun
Viewing Bunker

Hardpoint is a damn good objective-based mode in Call of Duty: Vanguard, where two teams fight over specific hardpoint zones on the map. It’s a lot of fun, but needs to be well coordinated. Aside from that, each hardpoint is active for 60 seconds before moving to the next location. This is where the numbering on the map above comes into play, as it indicates the order in which the hardpoint locations rotate.

Hardpoint on Paradise works great because it’s a fairly open map that offers plenty of room for tactics. It’s important to be strategic and coordinate with your team, as knowing the rotation will allow you to get ahead of the opposing team. So always remember to have some buddies with you!

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.

More quick tips for Call of Duty: Warzone

• In sprint mode doors can be broken down immediately, in target mode they can be opened carefully
• Enemies can be instantly eliminated in close combat from behind with a special animation
• Use the ping system to mark enemies for your team
• Air strikes and cluster strikes can be used on helicopters and other vehicles
• Watch out for a white glow in your surroundings – this signals reflections in a sniper’s scope
• Loot time can be significantly shortened by a simple trick when playing with controller
