Knowing about the Warzone Squad Assemble feature can provide players with some extremely useful bonuses.

The feature arrived in the Season 3 update for Call of Duty and with most Warzone players dropping into the action with the FJX Horus in hand and as a team, Squad Assemble rewards those looking to land as a unit at the beginning of a match.

Before we reveal more about Squad Assemble and the Squad Play bonus, take a look at our other guides revealing how to unlock the MORS sniper rifle and a full Rebirth Island POI list.

Warzone Squad Assemble explained

The Squad Assemble feature provides players with a range of in-game rewards by landing near their teammates at the start of a Resurgence and standard battle royale match.

A notification will appear on the screens of players, instructing them to land close to their squad mates. It's worth noting that the Squad Assemble feature is totally optional and players don't have to land near their squadmates if they don't want to.

When the feet of the first player hit the ground, a small radius will form around them. Squadmates can land within the circle to "land together." Below is a full list of the requirements for squads to land together:

  • Full Squad Landing (Quads): All four players landing circles to overlap
  • Full Squad Landing (Trios): All three players landing circles to overlap
  • Two Half Squad Landing (Quads): Two pairs of players land separately with each pair landing where circles overlap
  • Majority Squad Landing (Quads): Three out of four layers land with overlapping circles with one player landing separately
  • Majority Squad Landing (Trios): Two players land with overlapping circles with the other landing separately
  • Duo Squad Landing (Duos): Both player circles must overlap

Warzone Squad Assemble rewards

If players land and meet the requirements listed above, they'll get their hands on all kinds of rewards giving them the upper hand in the early stages of a match. Here's the full list:

  • Full squad landing - XP, cash bonus, Supply UAV if players land as a full squad
  • Majority squad landing - XP, cash bonus, Supply UAV if two members (quads) or the teammate (trios) land together
  • Half squad landing / duo squad landing - XP bonus if one teammate (quads) or the teammate (duos) land together
  • Mark landing destination - All players receive XP if a teammate pings the landing location before the first player hits the ground
