In a game like Call of Duty: Warzone, it is vitally important to remain in control the entire match. Losing patience, attention, or any other form of control can quickly result in the loss of a match. Call of Duty: Warzone is a difficult game to predict, and players need every advantage to score a win in the final circle.

While players that plan well can predict most things, there is always one possibility that slips console player's minds. Call of Duty: Warzone is a cross-platform game, and every player has their own control preference. Whether it's a mouse and keyboard or a console controller, players need to be prepared for the pros and cons that come with their preferred method.

In a clip posted by la_baconator onto Reddit, this Call of Duty: Warzone fan had the unexpected happen at the end of their match. The clip shows the player in the final circle right as an opponent jumps over them. As they easily track the player and gun them down, the round ends, but the gun keeps firing. It continues its downward arc until it hits the bottom and suddenly prompts the notice to reconnect the controller. This is an obvious sign of what happened; this console player's controller just died. A few seconds earlier and they would have lost the game making the timing perfect for a casual reminder to check batteries prior to each match. While this Call of Duty: Warzone win is not epic, it does give a sense of relief as the player managed to succeed where others would have failed.

Consoles usually prompt low battery warnings throughout a match, but this player obviously ignored them. Low battery could go for three or four matches, or the controller could die spontaneously within the next few minutes. For Call of Duty: Warzone controller players, the unpredictability can make this an easy notice to ignore.

It is important for players to keep in mind that Call of Duty: Warzone is a live online game. This means that the action will continue even if the player's controller decides to quit. Fans are recommended to keep an eye on battery usage and have an extra set nearby for those emergency situations.

As Call of Duty: Warzone continues to handle its balance issues, players will need to be on their guard when handling combat situations. A dead controller can be the end of a match, and in the final circle, nothing could be more frustrating than a loss by battery life.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
