Warzone Season 4 has brought a new Field Upgrade to the game called Reinforcement Flares. If you've just picked one up, lucky you! Now here's how to use the damn thing...

What Do Reinforcement Flares Do In Warzone?

Reinforcement Flares can be used to respawn one of your dead teammates. You don't get to pick who it respawns if multiple teammates are dead, it just picks someone at random.

To use the Reinforcement Flares you just press the normal buttons you need to deploy Field Upgrades (usually LB/L1 & RB/R1 at the same time) and your character will shoot a red flare into the air. But be aware: You need to be outside to use Reinforcement Flares.

Right, now let's address the obvious question.

Where Do You Find Reinforcement Flares?

You are guaranteed one Reinforcement Flare from the XP Crates that drop randomly on the map (marked with a gray box and "XP" on the map). You can also find Reinforcement Flares randomly in crates, but they have a low drop-rate (similar to self-revives).

That was your complete guide to Reinforcement Flares, we hope you found it useful.

Hopefully you don't run in to this w*nker in your next game:
