There’s a beauty of sorts to the openness of battle royale games. When players in games likeFortnite,Apex Legends, and, in this case,Call of Duty: Warzoneare free to run around a giant map with a wide assortment of weapons and tools, they’re often free to do things unconventionally and take out their opponents increative and unique ways, and sometimes those creative solutions are truly incredible, and hilarious.
Less than two months have passed sinceWarzonedebuted, but players have figured out plenty of clever tricks for outplaying the competition. Arguably the most fiendish of these, though, may very well be the C4 drone strike, wherein one playertosses C4 onto a Recon Droneand another maneuvers the drone. With just a little bit of communication, this allows a team to effectively steer a flying remote-controlled bomb right up to unsuspecting players and take them out from a safe distance.

While this can naturally make for some memorable highlights inCall of Duty: Warzone, the video clip shared by Reddit user arhayden this week takes it over the top with a solid mix of drama and comedy. The clip starts off normally enough, with arhayden’s four-player squad sticking C4 to a drone and setting it off to locate enemies, before spotting an entire squad hunkering down in a nearby warehouse.
But things take a turn for the dramatic when the drone enters the warehouse only to find the squad driving away in avehicle. This leads to a quick but intense chase where it seems like the enemy players might get away. But then, in a climactic moment accompanied by the sound of Celine Dion’s iconic power ballad “My Heart Will Go On,” the vehicle suddenly stops and allows the drone to catch up and explode, downing the enemy squad right as the music kicks up and leaving arhayden’s team practically euphoric as they hurry over to finish them off.
The whole thing effectively plays out like a mini-movie, filled with moments of high and low, dramatic suspense and comedic payoff, as well as a choice soundtrack. It also stands as one of the more memorable uses of C4 so far (not to mention one of themost memorable plays inWarzonein general) and has been met with high praise from the Reddit community, both for the play itself and its use of music.
What’s more, the clip managed to get the attention of the folks atInfinity Ward, as studio art director Joel Emslie (who goes by ArtPeasant on social media) responded to it by simply calling it a “beautiful squad wipe.” And, really, he’s not wrong.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis free-to-play on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
