Warhead
Advanced Map TIps
Map Focused Loadouts
Prebrief
The remnants of a spilled and partial construction of a future Nuketown test site were dumped into the desert by some accidental mishap. Model homes and vehicles have been thrown off their foundations and filled with sand. The landscape remains lopsided, throwing off conventional battle sightlines. This is Warhead; good luck.

POI Overview
You’ll need every advantage you can get on this tiny map. Here are the major points of interest. Click “Learn More” at the bottom of each image for additional tips and insights on the POI.
Main Spawn Point: Yellow House (Northwest)
The corner Yellow House sits on a sand hill sloping down to the crater on one side with a ditch running the length of the other. The house and trailer offer tight enclosures, while the School Bus provides one of the best sightlines on the map. From this side it’s just a quick hop into the second floor of Green House.
Tactical Location: Green House
Set at an angle in the middle of the map, Green House is the main obstruction between the starting spawns. It’s a two-story house with two rooms to each level plus a staircase connecting them. The upper level is also accessible from the outside. Fight’s move fast here, so clear house and get to its vantage points fast.
Main Spawn Point: Clock (Southeast)
Get creative in this starting spawn: Lay prone on the crates to minimize your profile while aiming down sights, hop onto the garage roof for an elevated view, and jump from the buried red cab into the second floor of the Green House. Make the landscape work for you, and watch that School Bus on the north path.

Artillery out: Stick to the explosive theme and arm up using Danger Close to spawn with an extra Lethal. Add in Gung-Ho to speed up your equipment use for rapid grenade throws. If you find yourself running low, pick Scavenger to refill your supplies.
Sightline skewed: The detonation displaced a lot of sand, skewing the landscape and shifting normal sightlines out of place. Use this to your advantage by crouching down low near slopes to help conceal your approach.
Snipers can play, too: Even long-ranged Loadouts can succeed here. Whether aiming down the northern Ditch or across the south path, these views extend across the map. If you’re a dedicated marksman, stick to these outer lanes for constant long-ranged play.
Advanced Map Tips
Take the Bus — Alpha (A)
The School Bus towers over the northern Ditch with heightened views well into the opposite spawn. Get inside the vehicle to enjoy its extensive views; drop a Tactical Insertion to mark the power position as your next spawn point.
King of Green House — Beta (B)
The upper corners of Green House have been blasted out in the explosion. The vantage points offer commanding views over the different starting spawns. Move between them to cover a large portion of the map, always ready to defend against intruders to the center home.
Map Focused Loadouts
Survive and thrive in this desert madhouse using these suggested Loadouts made for Warhead.
Bomber
SMG
Wield the well-balanced C9 SMG while lobbing Impact Grenades at enemy Operators. Through Danger Close, you’re granted two grenades per spawn, with enemy Scavenger bags replenishing them on pickup. Toss the explosives more quickly with Gung-Ho and counter enemy CUAVs, Scramblers, and Sleeper Agents through Vigilance.
Throw out your Trophy System when the enemy responds with their own grenades. Stay focused on the enemy and seek out additional Scavenger bags so you can maintain the explosive assault.
Dust Devil
Assault Rifle, Enforcer
Keep pressing with this highly mobile Loadout combining Gung-Ho and Dexterity for rapid action on the field. Melee enemies to replenish health, especially useful in the central Green House, and avoid disorientation and trickery through Vigilance.
The Enforcer Combat Specialty excels on small maps like Warhead, so keep slaying to make the most of its movement speed and health regen bonus. To call on these bonuses at will, unleash the War Cry.
Sand Blast
Shotgun / SMG
Rapidly swap between a Shotgun and SMG with this aggressive Loadout focused on survival and versatility. Via Gearhead, gain more charges of the Morphine Injector and thus more chances to revive via enemy elimination.
Stun enemies with your Concussion and then swiftly dispatch them via Combat Axe. In the right hands, this Loadout excels on Warhead.
