New Warzone Squad Assemble and Squad Play Bonus Feature Explained

| GNG News COD | Published: March 30, 2024 |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 brings with it a brand new selection of features and gameplay improvements for players to get stuck into. One of these new features is the Squad Assemble and Squad Play Bonus.

This new feature encourages players to stick together from the moment of landing to the final exfil. The squad that stays together, slays together.

Players will earn match rewards for sticking together in both Resurgence and Battle Royale. When active, you will receive a message to land with your squad to earn bonuses, which is of course, purely optional.

The first player to land boots on the ground will create a small (invisible) circle around them that squad-mates can land and remain in to gain additional XP and match bonuses. These rewards will vary depending on the strength of the Squad landing.

• Full Squad Landing (Quads): All four Operators’ landing radii overlap with at least one other.

• Full Squad Landing (Trios): All three Operators’ landing radii overlap with at least one other.

• Two Half Squad Landing (Quads): Two pairs of Operators land separately, with each pair’s landing radius overlapping.

• Majority Squad Landing (Quads): Three of the four Operators land with overlapping radii, and one Operator lands separately.

• Majority Squad Landing (Trios): Two of the three Operators land with overlapping radii, and one Operator lands separately.

• Duo Squad Landing (Duos): For Duos, both squad-mates need to land with their radii overlapping.

What do you get for landing and sticking together?

You'll know when the Squad Assemble feature has been activated by receiving an XP bonus, cash, and a Supply UAV at the start of the match. There are added ways to earn XP and Rewards by staying close to team-mates.

• Mark the Landing Destination: Each squad member receives XP if any teammate pings the location where you land before the first squad member touches the ground.

• Full Squad Landing (Quads, Trios): Land as a full squad for a sizeable XP and Cash bonus, as well as a Supply UAV.

• Majority Squad Landing (Quads, Trios): Land with two other members (Quads) or one other member (Trios) for a reasonably XP and Cash bonus, as well as a Supply UAV.

• Half Squad or Duo Squad Landing (Quads, Duos): Land with one other teammate (Quads) or land with your teammate (Duos) and both of you receive a modest XP and Cash bonus.

This feature is available in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 for Resurgence and Battle Royale but not Ranked Play.
