10. Beware of rocks

While in the Gulag, it feels like a completely 1v1 battle with no one else to rely on. But others can actually throw rocks at the Gulag fighters and disorient them. As a Gulag fighter, you can look for where the rocks are flying towards to track down your opponent.

Paying attention to details like rocks could help a lot with gaining a tactical advantage over your enemy, and could mean the crucial difference between winning and losing

9. Use the flag as a tactical tool

While fighting your opponent and neither one of you can really decisively take down the other, you can use the flag to advance the battle. Instead of sitting around and camping, you should run across it to look for the enemy.

The center flag can be a pretty good way to locate your enemy

Your opponent most likely was waiting for you to make a move, then they would go in to take you down if they saw that you were capturing the flag. And having a quick weapon to turn quickly and catch your rushing opponent coming out of hiding can help seal the victory.

8. Get help from teammates

If you have a teammate or several in the Gulag waiting their turn, utilize their help to locate the opponent. From their point of view, they can find the enemy and where they are going and what they are doing. Although, don't let your own tactics depend completely on teammate call-outs.

Enlist your teammates' help in locating your opponent and avoid surprises

It is you alone who need to hit your enemy and win, so treat your teammate's help as support for your tactics. Sound support from microphones might not be the most up-to-date on what the opponent is doing, as actions happen in seconds.

7 . Know your weapon

In the Gulag, instead of a weapon from your favorite load-out, you get a specific weapon you need to defeat your opponent with. It's usually a pistol or shotgun taking only one or two shots to determine who comes out on top.

The weapons in the Gulag are limited so you should quickly learn how to use them

Those new to the game would have difficulties using these weapons, making you go through several Gulag rounds to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of Gulag weaponry. In the Gulag, it's crucial that you can surprise your foe and land your shots first,

6. Manoeuver the Gulag's walls

Figuring out the Gulag guns can be difficult, but you can start picking queues from the surrounding Gulag walls immediately. There are enough walls in this mode to find a corner or wall section to hide behind to listen for the sounds your opponent makes.

Use the Gulag's surrounding walls and environment to your advantage

Using the walls to listen for footsteps and sounds of the enemy gives you a significant advantage over running around aimlessly in the Gulag mazes. There's a chance that you yourself would get ambushed, but having an ambush-free spot while listening for enemy sounds can make a huge difference.

5. Make use of tacticals

The Gulag matches give you a pair of tacticals to help you in the fight. One helps slow down your enemy, while the other one can do some major damage. Waiting for these tacticals to become available can help a lot with surviving the Gulag.

Don't neglect to use your tacticals also as they give you a "tactical" advantage

Waiting for your tacticals can help identify your enemy's position, and deal serious damage to them before the fight even starts. They don't always guarantee success, but making use of a flash or regular grenade and hitting the target with them will always help more than hurt.

4. Find a safe section to stick to

It can be a rookie mistake to run around the Gulag and hope to run into your opponent, but it's better to find a section on the map and stick to it. Avoid running across the middle section to find your enemy, as this increases your chance of getting ambushed.

The best option here is to stick close to a wall and nearby corners, while listen for enemy footsteps to try to locate your enemy that way.

3. Figure out your playstyle

After you have gone through enough Gulag rounds, you should understand the different playstyles that the short 1v1 battles require. One can turtle around and camp, but some would want to rush the spawn locations and surprise their opponent that way.

For your part, it's vital to figure out which playstyle can pay off the most for yourself. The process of figuring out your style takes a bit of time as you learn the layout of the Gulag and the weapons you'd be given. Once you got that nailed down, your Gulag playstyle could make use of some or all the Call of Duty Warzone Gulag tips here as you get better in this 1v1 battle.

2. Get your teammates to actively help

Your spectating teammates not only can stand above and watch the battle unfold and help call out your enemy, but they can also chuck rocks at the enemy that do a very small amount of damage to them.

Your teammates not only can help passively but also take out your enemy for you

Either your teammates can whittle your enemy's health down enough to help you perform a one-shot kill, disrupt or distract your opponent enough for you to ambush them. Some players have even figured out how to trigger the claymores to wipe out all Gulag fighters, so get your comrade to blow them up at the right moment to win the round without a sweat.

1. Stay calm and stick to your plans

When you are in a mostly lonely and unpredictable situation like the Gulag, having faith in your ability and tactics is a must. It's common to feel nervous at the possibility of getting killed at any moment by a player who might be much better than you, without any backup.
