Caldera has been out in Warzone for quite some time, and despite whether or not you like or dislike the map, one thing's for sure — you'll end up in the Gulag at some point.

Of course, winning your 1v1 in the Gulag changes everything, and although it seems like it can come down to luck at times, there are certain things that higher-level players commonly tend to do that boost their success rates. Here are the top five best tips to use when in the Gulag in Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season 2.

The Five Best Gulag Tips in Warzone Pacific Season 2

5. Early Info Game With the Red Sihlouette

As most may or may not know at this point, when both players will spawn into the Gulag, they will have a red outline tracking exactly where their opponent is and what direction they're looking at. Most players likely won't care enough to think about how you can see where they're looking. As such, the mental game starts here. Perhaps see where your opponent is facing to try and get a read on them or give out some false information yourself (e.g. look dead neutral in the center or look left then cut right).

4. Keep Your Opponent in Front of You

That first point directly leads to this piece of advice, which is trying to give yourself information to keep your opponent in front of you. In a game such as Call of Duty where the general time-to-kill (TTK) is so quick, it's pretty much a wrap if you get caught off guard by someone to the side or from the flank. Throw a fake at the start with the red outline, pull your fists out to dart to another position and try to figure out where your opponent is first before they do.

3. Process of Elimination

Once the countdown goes and you're free to move, dart to a spot and a pre-aim. If they show up, get the kill. If not, then there's more work to do. Since the Caldera Gulag has three lanes, you'll want to check the lane closest to you if the first option didn't reveal their position. Go right first? Check mid, and vice versa. Typically if you go through the center, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of your opponent through the window.

2. Last Resort, Use Util

You've checked left/right, checked mid and checked far through the doorway and you still can't see them? Chuck a piece of equipment and see if you can get a connection.

1. Keep it Simple

Not everybody is a movement god, and in the Gulag, you don't have to be. It's an enclosed space for a reason. Swing slow, keep your gun out and be ready to fire. These fights aren't supposed to last that long.
