Call of Duty: Warzonehas been out for nearly a week and players have already adapted to Activision’s take on the battle royale genre. While mastering new elements such asvehicle useand the respawn system, there are also various tricks that can give squads the advantage against the other 147 opponents on Verdansk. On that note, players have now discovered a way to decrease the time spent looting items during a match.
In any battle royale, each second counts and time spent picking up items could instead be used for moving to a better vantage point. AsCall of Dutyplayers have come to realize, the default loot option inWarzonewith the interact button takes a few seconds too many. Since every passing moment is especially important at the start, it is possible to change the way players grab items to a much shorter amount of time.

Tap to Pick Up Loot
Through their settings, players can opt to tap and pick up any nearby loot with one button.
On YouTube, user Scahty uploaded a video showcasing the steps on how to change the loot option. In a side-by-side comparison, he opened several caches and looted their contents in rapid succession. Compared to the non-contextual tap, there were several seconds where players are little more than an over-sized sitting duck ready forthe Gulag.
After the change is made, it may take several games for newer players to get used to the feature. However,similar games likeFortnitealso use tap to pickup, so veterans from other titles will already have some experience looting that way. Players should also be aware that Contextual Tap changes their other actions as well. Doors, caches, and weapon reloads will now require tapping the interact button during a match.
In the end, players will notice a significant decrease in their looting time once they adjust to the new setting. More than anything, this small trick will offer an advantage now and equalize disadvantages if it becomes the competitive norm. When combined with othertricks like parachuting, gaining those few extra seconds will mean the difference between getting a kill or being sent to the Gulag.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis now available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
