Why you need a VPN when playing Call of Duty: Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone has a huge fan base, with over 50 million players logging on to play the game every day. This means that users can often be connected to overcrowded servers with players of varying skills - including players who don't take the game seriously. High user loads can significantly increase latency, lower the game's FPS and increase the risk of encountering DDoS attackers. As a result, many hardcore gamers use VPNs to connect to faster servers and protect themselves from hacking attacks.

Call of Duty: Warzone games contain fast-paced action and therefore take up a lot of bandwidth. VPNs provide users with a lower latency connection, thus reducing the latency of the game. This is because a VPN server connected to a Call of Duty zone closer to the player's desired location can transfer data faster, thus reducing load times. A VPN prevents anyone from manipulating the user's connection as it makes the user's internet traffic invisible.

In addition, a VPN can help users access Call of Duty if they are travelling abroad or experiencing technical problems. For example, if a user is unable to log into their Warzone account using their local IP address, they can use a VPN to change their virtual location and regain access to their account. This is also useful if the user is travelling to a country/region where violent video games are heavily censored. By connecting to a server in the user's own country, it is possible to avoid censorship and immediately rejoin friends online.

While it is possible to use a VPN to access geo-restricted DLC and even download new content that is not yet available in the user's region, I would not recommend doing so. Game publishers like Activision keep close tabs on cheating and exploits, and users could be permanently disabled from Call of Duty: Warzone (or worse) if they violate their user agreement by using a VPN.

While VPNs can improve a user's online gaming experience, I have found that not all providers offer the features required for heavy games like Call of Duty. Choosing the wrong VPN service can experience higher than normal latency, crippling the gaming experience and preventing users from accessing Verdansk without any delays. it is therefore important to use a quality VPN - one that not only adequately protects the user's identity, but also offers excellent gaming performance. I recommend ExpressVPN as it offers the fastest speeds, low ping values and strict security features.
