There's a new map for Call of Duty: Warzone players to master, with Vondel being introduced in the most recent content update.

Following the launch of Season 4, Call of Duty players were treated to a brand new resurgence map named Vondel, which is heavily influenced by the city of Amsterdam, as featured in the Modern Warfare 2 single-player campaign. The Season 4 update also saw Activision revert the title's branding from Warzone 2 back to Warzone, which ultimately led to the publisher announcing it will be shutting down Warzone Caldera.

We've put together some top tips for how players can master and navigate Vondel, the new resurgence map.

Mastering Parkour

Vondel is a varied map with multiple levels, making parkour skills pretty essential for success. Certain areas are only accessible on foot, such as the Cruise Terminal roof. Familiarise yourself with the layout of the map including different structures, rooftops, and obstacles that can be traversed, because getting the high ground is crucial.

One key area is the Police Station, which offers some great high ground, and its surrounding townhouses, which are the ideal locations for those trying to sneak around town. If you spend time practise wall running and mantling, you'll be able to quickly scale walls and access elevated positions, giving you a tactical advantage over your opponents in Vondel.

Tactical Route Planning

In Vondel, there are so many routes through the map, so choosing the right path can be the difference between a win or a loss. There are narrow alleys, open areas, as well as indoor spaces to hide and ambush your enemies from, but beware, enemies are probably thinking the same thing, so keep your sights on as you're looking around those dark corners.

If you can identify some alternative routes, you can flank enemies and bypass hot drop areas, so keep your enemies guessing by varying your rotations and again, learning the map inside out.

Utilising Vehicles

Vehicles can provide a significant advantage in Vondel, allowing you to quickly traverse the map and engage enemies, but they do also make you a target, so use them sparingly. There are a number of vehicles available, both on land or at sea, to get around the map in quick time.

Remember, you can use these vehicles to transport teammates, flank enemies, complete objectives or create distractions, which can lead you to victory. Keep on eye on your fuel gauge though, and make sure you get to a refill station before you run out, or you'll be in deep trouble.

Team Coordination

The most important tip in this guide, it's all about teamwork. Teamwork and coordination can elevate your performance, even if you're an average team, as long as you're constantly talking and keeping eachother informed, you've got a chance.

Communication is key, so if you make a move, tell someone! If you spot someone, tag them! Do what you can to help your teammates, and in turn, they'll help you!
