“I love this ground loot. It’s like what the ground loot should be in Call of Duty Warzone all the time,” said Swagg. “It should be a variety of weapons that you can use and not feel like you’re in a bad situation.”

Down to the later circles, Swagg managed to win the Gulag, drop immediately into the firefight, and help his teammate out with a looted Milano 821 and PPSh-41.

Longtime CoD personality and streamer Jack “CouRage” Dunlop saw Iron Trials 84 as the latest proving ground for Call of Duty Warzone’s top players.

“You can feel how it rewards better aiming,” said CouRage. “It turns Warzone from a glorified hide-and-seek game to players actually having their shot down, which I like a lot.”

Was Dr DisRespect behind the new game mode all along?

With its various tweaks to cater to more experienced players, streamer Herschel “Dr DisRespect” Beahm IV shared in a recent stream that the mode brings a refreshing gameplay experience.

“I kind of like this mode and it feels like we’re playing a slightly different game,” said Dr DisRespect.

While the battle royale mechanics still shine through in Iron Trials 84, Dr DisRespect finally got his request about match duration and zone speed to the developers. Games are now a few minutes shorter and the faster circle collapse promotes more frequent firefights.
