Fans ofCall of Duty: Warzoneare always looking for a way to gain a competitive edge. Often this means finding the best weapon combinations for loadouts, figuring out which equipment is strong in the latest patch, or simply finding the best place to drop. Recently, however,Warzoneplayers have found a new way to one-up their opponents, thanks to the newly added Sentry Turret and a simple set of wheels.
The Season Four Reloaded patch dropped forWarzoneearlier in the week and with it came a huge number of changes. These included the largest set of balance changes to weapons to-date, as well as the addition of the new Payload game mode, two brand new weapons, accessibility options, and a swath of much-needed bug fixes. The patch also included the addition of the Sentry Turret Killstreak,hidden behindWarzone’snew red doors, which allow fast travel and are packed with loot for the intrepid player.

The Sentry Turret has always been a fairly strongkillstreak in theCall of Dutyfranchise, allowing players to lock down a specific area and prevent players from moving through open spaces. However, the turret has one major disadvantage: it is immobile, making it easy to take out from a distance and reasonably simple to avoid if players have access to cover. IntelligentWarzoneplayers have become wise to these pitfalls though, and have started to mount the turrets toWarzone’scargo trucks, allowing them to move the turrets around and create automated death machines.
There are some caveats to this James Bond-style vehicle though, as drivers will have to keep the vehicle moving at a slow and steady pace, due to the Sentry Turret struggling to fire at enemies while the truck is moving too quickly. Players have been posting up videos and screenshots across social media of them mowing down targets with the new strategy, and it has certainly brought vehicles into the limelight as a point of interest. It can bedifficult enough to deal with trucks inWarzone, so the addition of a mounted, AI-controlled Sentry Turret only makes things more challenging.
It is unclear just how powerful this strategy is yet, and whether it is something that Raven Software will look to patch in the future. At the moment, it seems that having to drive at slow speed makes players enough of an easy target that the Sentry Turret won’t necessarily be game-breaking, however, if players start to perfect the strategy enough, it may become the new meta forthe latestWarzonepatch.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
