How to get more wins in Blackout Black Ops 4\u2019s battle royale mode Blackout has taken the Call of Duty community by storm since the game released on October 12, but getting wins in the mode is easier said than done. For rookies and veterans of the battle royale genre alike, Blackout has been an incredibly addictive experience that comes with its own set of struggles. When it comes to figuring out the best ways to improve at Blackout, YouTuber \u2018Drift0r\u2019 has provided an extensive guide to help players start stacking up the wins. The full video, including even more tips and detailed explanations on everything in this guide, can be found below. Drift0r kicks things off by going through some basic tips for newcomers to the battle royale genre, meaning these first tips aren\u2019t specific to Blackout and can be applied across the board. Hot drops aren\u2019t needed for basic loot While it might seem exciting to drop in places like Firing Range and Nuketown Island, Drift0r reminds players that these areas aren\u2019t the only place to get good starting loot. Starting off in a basic, unnamed cluster of houses will get you started off just fine and could give you a longer lifespan, too. Work the skinny part of the circle As the circle begins to close in, it\u2019s better to stick to the smallest side of it since it means you have less ground to travel. There\u2019s nothing worse than getting caught on the broad side of the circle and needing to travel across a ton of open space. Don\u2019t be a greedy loot goblin It might feel natural to want to collect the spoils of each kill, but if the body is out in the open, it could do you more harm than good to go for the loot. Just keep moving if you pick up kills in the open. Looting armor is not more important than your life Armor is certainly a major component to Blackout, but you shouldn\u2019t go out of your way to pick up armor if doing so will leave you open to attack. Much like Drift0r\u2019s tip on looting in general, don\u2019t value armor over your safety. Prioritize long-range weapons over everything It\u2019s great to have a weapon for every engagement, but having a long-range weapon is the most important thing in Blackout. Likewise, utilizing your scopes to scout the enemies is imperative to maintain the upper hand on your opponents. Best uses of extended barrel and suppressor These two attachments are some of the most important ones in the game, but each has better situations to use them than others. When it comes to the extended barrel, it\u2019s better for Quads since it increases your overall range and reduced bullet drop, but the suppressor is better for Solos since it allows you to remain quiet and sneaky. Get good at using the quick equip menu Proper use of the quick equip menu can be the difference between life and death, as you can change healing items and swap equipment while still moving around. Focusing on getting comfortable with the d-pad will give you the best shot at success.
