Call of Duty: Warzoneplays like most other battle royales, but it does add an interesting variation with the Gulag. After their first death, players get a chance to respawn if they can beat another player in a head-to-head match.
Usually, losing a Gulag match can be very disheartening, as it’s more embarrassing to lose to a single player than something like anincredible C4 drone strike. But players don’t always lose simply because their opponents outplayed them, as is the case in a recent clip ofCall of Duty: Warzonestreamer Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar losing a Gulag fight… due to a hilariously well-timed rock throw.

TimTheTatman was streamingCall of Duty: Warzoneon Thursday alongside fellow streamers Doug “DougisRaw” Wolf and Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm, which is surprising considering how muchDr Disrespect dislikes the game. Throughout the stream, TimTheTatman kept bragging about his Gulag record, saying he never loses when he gets sent there.
Once he was inevitably sent there, he decided to tempt fate further by telling Dr Disrespect to watch him as he showed why people called him “Gulag Gary.” Clickhereto watch Gulag Gary in action.
Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers should know that although Gulag matches are strictly 1-on-1, spectators standing above the arena can throw rocks into the pit and at players. It just so happened that a spectator was throwing rocks at TimTheTatman, one of which actually hit a proximity mine he had placed right in front of him. The result was both surprising and hilarious as “Gulag Gary” was killed right in front of his opponent. The spectator even got credited with the kill.
The rocks only do a little bit of damage and are more useful for pointing out where a player may be hiding, but they have been proven to be more lethal than annoying before. It’s rare, but Gulag fights can end with a well-aimed rock throw. The game’s narrators even encourage spectators sent to the Gulag to throw rocks as they wait for their turn in the arena, and it’s much fairer than some of thebugs that kill players in the Gulag.
As funny as all that was, maybe TimTheTatman should retire “Gulag Gary” for a while and giveModern Warfare’s multiplayer a try instead. Not only has it received anupdate that fixes an attachment exploit and bugs, but Activision has also announced thatModern Warfare’s multiplayer mode will be free to play this weekend, giving players a chance to try out what the 2019 shooter has to offer. To access the free weekend, players will need to already haveWarzoneinstalled. Once the free weekends go live, five maps fromModern Warfarewill be available to play through theWarzonelobby.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
