How to use Proximity Chat in Warzone 2.0 and DMZ

Posted on by

To use Proximity Chat in Warzone 2.0, follow these steps:

1. Join a Lobby:
First, find and join a matchmaking lobby for your preferred game mode. The Proximity Chat feature is available in all game modes that support voice chat.

2. Enable Voice Chat:
Once you’ve joined the lobby, open the Options menu (the gear icon on the bottom left) and navigate to "Chat & Notifications." Here, ensure the "Voice Chat" option is toggled on.

3. Proximity Chat Range:
Proximity Chat in Warzone 2.0 allows you to communicate with players within a certain range. The default range is approximately 15 meters (16 yards), but this can be adjusted using the "Team Voice Chat Distance" option found under "Chat & Notifications" in the Options menu.

**Using Proximity Chat:**

*To speak using Proximity Chat:*

  1. Press and hold the designated voice chat key (default is ‘V’) on your keyboard or press and hold the corresponding button on your controller.
  2. Speak into your microphone as you normally would. Your proximity chat messages will only be heard by players within range.

*To listen to Proximity Chat:*

  1. By default, Proximity Chat is enabled when in a match. You’ll hear other players’ proximity chat messages automatically as long as they are close enough.
  2. If you want to disable Proximity Chat temporarily or adjust the volume, go back to the "Chat & Notifications" section in the Options menu and make your desired changes under the "Voice Chat" subheading.

**Pro Tips:**

Communication is key: Proximity Chat can give you a strategic advantage by allowing you to coordinate with your team effectively, especially during intense firefights or objective-based modes.
Be mindful of proximity chat etiquette: Remember that not everyone may have their voice chat enabled, and some players might prefer not to use proximity chat at all. Always be respectful and considerate when using this feature.
Adjust your settings for optimal communication: Experiment with different Proximity Chat ranges and voice chat volumes to find the best balance between clear communication and minimal distractions during gameplay.
