Call of Duty Warzone 2 is considerably optimized compared to its prequel, but high-end systems with powerful GPUs have the upper hand. With a hardware advantage, players can enjoy better visuals. Sharper images can make an enormous difference, as the map has assets that can be used to blend in with the environment.

Warzone 2 is a comparatively slower-paced title as the time-to-kill (TTK) factor has been significantly reduced. Players prefer to approach all gunfights tactically to secure wins and avoid dangerous situations that can cost lives and loot altogether. A clear vision of all the in-game elements can turn the tide in an active gunfight as players can quickly spot and react to enemy operators.

Here is a method that can be used to increase visibility in Warzone 2.

Various factors affect the visibility of in-game assets in large-scale online multiplayer games like Warzone 2. Image sharpening is a method that can be used to forcibly make the graphics look a lot better than the default display settings.

Activision has provided a few image-sharpening options in the game, but using those usually results in losing frames per second (FPS). This new method of increasing visibility in-game will be an excellent tool for low-end system users to experience the game in a smoother environment.
