Call of Duty Warzone slang terms & call-outs streamers use Infinity WardCall of Duty players have long had their own language and Warzone seems to have its own dialect. In case you\u2019re confused by streamers, or just want to be up-to-date, we\u2019ve compiled the most popular slang terms and call-outs across Verdansk. [jwplayer br5AuoVJ] Time is essential when you\u2019re in the heat of battle; so, any time saved by shortening your dialogue can prove critical. As such, it should be no surprise that CoD enthusiasts have diverse, organic verbiage that transcends multiplayer and Warzone. Here, we\u2019re focusing on the terminology you may hear from streamers on Verdansk. But it\u2019s worth noting that like much slang, these words\u2019 linguistic parameters are fluid. Many of these will continue to evolve in their usage and many can be adapted to fit any type of speech (e.g. \u201cchalk\u201d will be used as both a verb and \u201cchalked\u201d as its adjective). The first section will span CoD slang that has risen in prominence throughout Warzone streams since the game\u2019s inception. The second section will surround certain notable location call-outs. Slang is organic and nebulous so neither section is exhaustive, but they should provide a strong foundation. Call of Duty: Warzone slang terms Beam (noun\/verb): refers to a gun that shoots incredibly straight or can be used as a verb to suggest someone was shot directly. – Bertha (n): sometimes known as \u201cBig Bertha\u201d or shortened to \u201cBertha,\u201d this refers to the Cargo Trucks found around Verdansk. – Bot (n): a bad player, specifically one whose gameplay is predictable enough to easily outduel. – Bouncing Betty (n): a proximity mine. – Breaking cameras (v): when someone does something that grants them an easier perspective than servers will allow you to, with your POV seeing little of them while theirs sees a lot of you. Easy examples include jumping around a corner and snaking a head-glitch. – Chalk (v): as a verb, this means to \u201cend\u201d something. As an adjective, \u201cchalked\u201d would mean that something is over. You can say \u201clet\u2019s chalk it\u201d to suggest the game should be left and restarted or \u201cthis is chalked\u201d to explain that a situation is un-winnable. – Comms (n): silence, please. While \u201ccomms\u201d traditionally is just shorthand for \u201ccommunication,\u201d it is now used most popularly when someone wants their teammates to shut up and clear the airways so that they can focus and hear what\u2019s happening around them. – Cracked (adjective): really good. Typically in reference to someone who is playing like they\u2019ve chugged some G-FUEL, making them equally amped up and focused. – Cracked (v): unlike chalk, cracked has two different meanings depending on how it\u2019s used. When used as a verb, you\u2019re saying that someone\u2019s armor has been broken. – Ego chall (v): an evolution of the \u201cchall\u201d term for \u201cchallenge,\u201d an ego chall is when you boldly challenge someone because your ego makes you think you can win the fight despite unideal odds. – Fried (v): burnt through someone\u2019s armor and health. You can fry enemies or, unfortunately, get fried. – Heady (n): a head-glitch spot. If someone is on a heady then they\u2019re abusing a spot (e.g. behind a desk) that makes their hitbox very small and hard to hit while offering them the chance to drop down and pop back up, breaking your camera as they shoot at you before you can really see them. – King (n): someone with a Most Wanted contract activated. – Laser (n\/v): same as beam. – Lost full (v): a short-hand version of \u201clost full composure,\u201d for when you\u2019re aware that you got tilted or lost focus. – Melts (v): induces great damage. This traditionally is most used for guns that \u201cmelt\u201d people, evoking that the gun melts away health very quickly. – One-shot (adj): also known as \u201ca bullet,\u201d this refers to someone whose armor has been cracked and is now just one shot away from death. Notoriously overused, enemies are rarely one-shot when teammates say they are. – Rat (n): an annoying camper. Used most typically to suggest that someone is hiding and trying to avoid any fair fights. – Self-res (n\/v): a short-hand version of \u201cself-revive,\u201d a more phonetically pleasing adaptation of \u201cself-resurrection.\u201d – Shreds (v): melts. Used to evoke the shredding of armor and health off of an opponent. – Sweaty (adj): someone who is trying very hard, likely sweating because of how intensely they\u2019re playing. Can also be used as a noun, with a \u201csweat\u201d being someone who is solely running meta weapons and playing at full intensity. – Tagged (v): got shots on someone. This is when you\u2019ve hit someone a little, but not enough to crack them. – Twisted (adj): cracked, but the one with positive connotations. – I was TWISTED Saturday night. Did i hit the pilot as well? I’m confused? If so best snipes so far in Warzone. @KARNAGEclan pic.twitter.com\/UmMviGNsJH \u2014 Neslo (@Neslo) May 18, 2020 Warzone location call-outs 1 & 2: the two largest hangars, marked 1 and 2, near the Fire Station adjacent to Airport – Big Blue: While notoriously known as the large blue building between TV Station and Neighborhood, this just embodies a reusable call-out tactic: using colors and sizes to reference spots in your vicinity. – Cop: any of the police stations found around Verdansk. – Dealership: any of the multi-level car dealerships (like the one between Superstore and Airport), typically housing an SUV on the ground floor. – Diner: Also known as \u201cburger\u201d sometimes, these are the small, single-level restaurants that are found throughout the map. – Electric: structured similarly to the dealerships, this refers to the multi-level building near Superstore. – Millie: Military Base. – Neighborhood: the cluster of multi-level homes found between Stadium and TV station. – Pool House: the large building adjacent to Storage Town, which houses an emptied indoor pool – Public: shorthand for \u201cPublic House\u201d and also known as \u201crestaurant,\u201d this refers to the two-level red buildings that have a bar on the ground floor. – Virgin: also known as \u201cvirgin towers,\u201d refers to the two tallest buildings located in the center of Torsk Bloc. – And there you have it, while not entirely exhaustive, these slang terms and callouts should give you a strong foundation for understanding what on earth streamers are talking about when flying around Verdansk.
