Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Player Gets Unbelievable Long-Range Drill Charge Kill

A new clip from Call of Duty: Warzone 2 shows a player using their enviable aim to get a long-range drill charge kill. Fans of the Infinity Ward and Raven Software shooter recently got some more information about what to expect when the upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 3 update arrives later this week.

First revealed at Call of Duty Next in September 2022, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is the free-to-play follow-up to 2020’s acclaimed Call of Duty: Warzone. Featuring a new map, new features, and the debut of the extraction-based DMZ mode, Warzone 2 introduced a number of sometimes controversial changes to the first game’s winning formula. While the inclusion of the tense, Escape from Tarkov-inspired DMZ mode has been widely praised by many gamers, the player count for Warzone 2 has dropped in recent months as complaints continue to mount about everything from the game’s high TTK to its abundance of sometimes game-breaking bugs.

In a new clip posted to the r/CODWarzone subreddit, Redditor mackeydesigns shows off their impressive, long-range takedown of an enemy using Call of Duty: Warzone 2’s deadly drill charge throwable. The short video shows mackeydesigns holed up in an office building and exchanging fire with an enemy on a distant rooftop before the enemy drops to street level to escape the fight. Not letting their opponent get away that easily, mackeydesigns pulls a drill charge from their inventory before stepping back, aiming high, and letting it loose in an impressive arc that sees it land on the fleeing foe and eliminate them.

Fans of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 responding to the impressive clip were in awe of the incredible accuracy on display. One user pondered what the killcam view must have been like for the fallen foe, leading a respondent to state that they wouldn’t be mad if they’d been the one on the receiving end of the throw but would probably take it “as a sign that this was the last game of the night.” Another Redditor joked that they would be using throwables as mortars from now on after witnessing the impressive elimination. Making a connection between the accuracy of the drill charge toss and the late NBA player’s talent for sinking long-distance shots, other responses simply exclaimed “KOBE!”

While some might rush to blame cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 after finding themselves unexpectedly dispatched from across the map, this video shows that a well-placed throw can sometimes be just as deadly as an aimbot. And after seeing this impressive clip, some Warzone 2 players may start keeping their eyes skyward to make sure they’re not the next one to end up on the business end of a descending drill charge.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
