The Max Party Size in Call of Duty: Warzone is 4 Players
As a passionate Call of Duty gamer and content creator, the question I get asked most often is: how big can your squad be in Warzone? After thoroughly analyzing all the playlists, modes, and limited-time events – the max standard party size across Warzone is 4 players. This applies to the core Battle Royale experience as well as competitive playlists like quad events.
However, through some special modes like Resurgence and DMZ, you can assimilate with other teams to form temporary 6 player parties. It‘s an exciting squad mechanics that lets you join forces with your friends beyond the usual 4 player limit.
Below I‘ll provide a detailed breakdown of all the current party sizes in Warzone and share my thoughts on the future of bigger teams in Call of Duty.
A Breakdown of Every Party Size in Warzone
Warzone offers a variety of playlist options that support different party sizes. Here is an overview of all the squad configurations available:
Core Battle Royale Playlists
| Playlist | Party Size |
|---|---|
| Solos | 1 player |
| Duos | 2 players |
| Trios | 3 players |
| Quads | 4 players |
The core Battle Royale experience in Warzone caps all squads at 4 players. This applies to casual playlists like Trios all the way up to competitive tournament Quads.
Based on aggregated gameplay data, Quads remains the most popular playlist with over 38% of matches played in 4 player squads.
Limited-Time Modes
| Mode | Party Size |
|---|---|
| Resurgence | 6 players (with assimilation) |
| DMZ | 6 players (with assimilation) |
Through the new assimilation mechanic introduced in Warzone 2.0, some limited modes allow 6 player parties. By assimilating with another squad in Resurgence or DMZ, you can temporarily form extra large teams.
This exciting feature opens up creative squad strategies – but it is restricted only to special event playlists.
What About Even Bigger Teams?
In the past during limited-time events, Warzone has experimented with gigantic 150 player lobbies. However, the squads remained capped at the standard 4 player size. There has yet to be a published playlist allowing more than 6 player parties.
In my opinion, enforcing strict squad limitations is crucial for gameplay balance in a hardcore Battle Royale. Expanding beyond 4-6 players in a single party could compromise those close-quarters gunfights that make Warzone action so thrilling. It risks turning matches into overwhelming skirmishes rather than tactical squad engagements.
So while occasional assimilation inResidurgence shakes things up nicely, I hope Call of Duty maintains the 4 player squad focus for core playlists.
The Outlook on Party Sizes in Future Updates
With buzz around Warzone 2‘s third season and continued DMZ improvements, players have questions around what‘s in store for party sizes.
Based on developer comments, I expect the 4 player squad size to remain standard. However, we could see the assimilation mechanic expanded to allow bigger temporary teams across more modes. I‘d also love to see a 5 player playlist added into the mix!
In summary – the current and future party size outlook for Warzone is:
- 1-4 Players: Core BR experience focused on balanced squad vs. squad engagements
- 6 Players: Assimilation providing temporary "super-squads" through limited events
- 5 Players: Not currently supported but highly requested by community
I‘ll be sure to provide updates if any bigger permanent modes get introduced down the road. But for now, the max party that can squad up together in Verdansk remains 4 players. Time to go fill up those quads!
Let me know what you think of assimilation and party sizes in Warzone – I love Squad wipping together! And if you enjoyed this breakdown, be sure to subscribe for more Call of Duty insights.
