Call of Duty: Warzonehas been a pretty big hit with fans so far, with many hailing it as atrueCall of Dutybattle royale experienceoverBlack Ops 4’s Blackout. However, there’s no denying that Blackout has some distinct advantages overCall of Duty: Warzone, especially when it comes team size options. SomeWarzoneplayers would rather play in duos, in teams of four, or solos instead of the three-person teams that are required in the game, but they simply can’t at the time of this writing.
Even through a true solos mode is currently unavailable inCall of Duty: Warzone, players can still technically choose to play alone without a squad. To do this, simply go to the bottom of theWarzonemenu, where the Squad Fill option can be found. Switch it from “Fill” to “Don’t Fill,” and this will placeWarzoneplayers into a match by themselves. However, there is a huge downside to this that doesn’t make it ideal at all.

WhileWarzoneplayers that choose not to fill out the squad can play by themselves or with one other friend, the enemies they’ll find on theWarzonebattle royale mapwill almost all still start out in squads of three. This means thatWarzoneplayers who choose to play solo or with one other partner are putting themselves at an automatic disadvantage right at the start of the match. That being said, there are some ways thatWarzonemakes playing alone a little less frustrating than it is in other BR games, plus there’s an advantage to choosing “Don’t Fill” that we discovered in our time with the game.
First off, the waysWarzonemakes life a little easier for solo players than similar games.Warzonemakes it possible for players to revive themselves using Self-Revive Kits, which means players aren’t automatically out of the match when they go down. Furthermore, if players are killed all the way,Warzonemakes it possible to rejoin the action by winning the1v1 Gulag fight. With other BR games, solo players would just be out of luck.
As for the advantage to playWarzonewith Don’t Fill selected, it seems to alleviate matchmaking issues for whatever reason. Finding a match with afull squad of threewasn’t always a guarantee in our experience, but finding matches went much quicker when playing solo or with one other person and Don’t Fill was selected. This is just anecdotal evidence, so fans shouldn’t take it as gospel, but it’s worth giving it a shot for anyWarzoneplayers having trouble getting into games.
In future, it’s likely thatInfinity Wardwill add more team size options inWarzone, just as other battle royale games have done. It’s hard to say when exactly such options will be added to the game, but it will likely happen sooner rather than later.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
