One of the new mechanics added in the Activision Warzone 2.0 battle royale is already making players laugh: proximity chat.
That The new version of Activision’s battle royale, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, was officially unveiled yesterday. And in just a few hours, players have already had time to enjoy one of the new mechanics, proximity chat.
Added proximity chat to Warzone 2.0
The proximity chat is one of the mechanics that we see more and more often in multiplayer video games
. We can think of Minecraft, Among Us or even Phasmophobia, which have largely popularized this mechanism in recent years. For those who don’t know, the principle is quite simple: instead of constantly talking to all players,
You only hear those who are near you, in a certain area. In a game like Warzone 2.0 it’s a bit different as the teams are small and opposing players aren’t meant to get along. In this case,
In the proximity chat, we therefore also hear the enemies that are around us! Very useful when looking for opponents: not only

hear a player screaming in fear getting killed can be just as fun…

, which shows the funniest situations created with this new feature. Obviously not everything is rosy.
Some are already concerned that proximity chat could bring more visibility to the toxicity some players. We can
Disable voice chats on the game, but it is
It’s always a shame to have to disable certain features for bad behavior other players, although we didn’t do anything wrong. When proximity chat is meant to be
moderated by the game, like the rest of the contacts between players, we can imagine that some will fall through the cracks. Luckily, we can hope that proximity chat will bring something
more fun than discomfort …
