Warzone 2 Uber drivers may be pulling up to an Al Mazrah street near you

Thanks to proximity chat in Warzone 2, players have launched their own in-game Uber service, ferrying squads across Al Mazrah for free, as long as they don’t get shot on the spot.

Examples include Reddit user Crescendummain, who posted one of his rides on Warzone Reddit earlier today.. In his video (which has some harsh language, before you go watch it), you can see an entire squad of four hopping on top of their buggy as they stick to the roads, make sure their mates are safe, and make it. . to your destination on time.

This is all thanks to the new proximity voice chat feature in Warzone 2, which has allowed players who are not in the same squad to communicate with each other. With a few words and guarantees of friendship, Warzone 2 players have found new ways to interact other than just shooting and stabbing. If you have the game, give it a try, try to have a friendly chat or joke around with the people you meet at the moment.

There will be some, I’m sure, who will scream about collusion and how this could ruin solo playlists due to unfair collaboration. However, I say to them: calm down, okay? Uber’s in-game services are absolutely collusive, but who cares? It’s a fun bit that you rarely find in games other than Rust and other titles, and it’s present in Warzone 2, which was already pretty good, even without the voice comms nonsense.

I cannot stress enough how much this opens up the possibility of player interaction, as we see in the wildest of social games. It’s the kind of thing that recent metaverse games have tried to reproduce, but have largely failed thanks to the lack of a really good game behind it. With Warzone 2, you can enter and win, or you can be an Uber driver, or who knows what else. It’s all part of the fun, and isn’t that what games are all about?

Either way, it’s the first of what is sure to be a continuing trend of Warzone 2 players playing with voice comms in creative ways. We can’t wait to see what comes out of the collective mind of the Warzone community in the coming weeks.
