How to Respawn from the Gulag 1v1 in Warzone Battle Royale

Upon your first death in Warzone, you will be taken as a “Prisoner of Warzone” and thrown into the Gulag. This is an all-new mechanic introduced in Call of Duty: Warzone that we have yet to see in any other Battle Royale title.

If the Gulag is available, you will await your fate and watch other prisoners fight to the death. When your turn is up, you’ll enter the Gulag and face-off against a single opponent in a 1v1 to earn the ultimate reward - redeployment. Win in the Gulag and earn redeployment back into Verdansk. Lose and hope that your squad completes Contracts and earns enough in-match Cash to redeploy you.

The setup of the Gulag allows teammates who are both prisoners to assist each other as you can both callout where the enemies are while spectating, as well as throwing rocks to stun the player who's hit. But it's not all fun and games, there's always the chance that you will be forced to face-off against your squadmate, meaning only one of you can leave the prison!

You will only have one opportunity to earn redeployment from the Gulag. If you lose the 1v1 or are sent to the Gulag more than once, you may only be revived if your team purchases your revival at a Buy Station for $4,500 Cash. According to influencers who attended the early capture event, respawning is much easier said than done; It's more of an early-game mechanic that forgives players who get an unlucky drop, rather than a get out of jail free card.

The Gulag respawn system is just one of the many unique mechanics introduced in Call of Duty: Warzone, check out our overview of the mode at the article below to learn more.
