How to change loading screens in Warzone 2

Changing loading screens in Warzone 2 isn't too tricky: it's just buried away in the menus of the game.

To change your load screen, you need to actually avoid going into your profile. Just because you can change your emblems and other visual bits here, doesnt' mean you can change your loading screen.

Instead, what you want to do is move over the Customization tab at the top of the screen. You can't do this in a match, do make sure you're on the mode select screen first.

Once you're in there, you should see the Loading Screen button at the bottom of the Customize menu. It's the first one on the row of other options that include your Calling Card, Emblem, and vehicle skins.

Click that and you'll be taken to the loading screen editor, where you can pick from around 16 different Warzone 2 loading screens if you have them unlocked.

You won't be able to see how to unlock each in this menu, but you'll be able to select which one you want to see between matches, or set it to shuffle between your favourite Warzone 2 loading screens if you like more than one.
