The voice prompts will be a variation of the above commands and will differ based on the customizations you put on them.

3) Proximity Chat

With the Proximity Chat feature, you will be able to have voice conversations with those who are around you in the game. The uses for the feature will be tactical, and the way you go about making the most of it will depend on game modes.

For example, in modes like the DMZ, you can use the chat feature to ensure that the Assimilation does not fail. In Battle Royale, the feature will be best used in the Gulag, where Warzone 2 duo players can use the exploit Proximity Chat to discuss strategy quickly.
