Rebirth Island is Back: Here are the Best Places to Land on the New Warzone Resurgence Map

Warzone Season 3 is bringing the fire with the return of Rebirth Island. The beloved map is back from a two-year hiatus, and from loadouts to hot drops, we have the key information you need to start racking up wins from day one. 

While rushing right into a match might feel thematically appropriate, a few things have changed during the map’s extended slumber, so even if you’re a Resurgence veteran, there’s still plenty to learn before getting into the action. 

What’s new on Rebirth Island?

First things first, don’t get too comfortable landing at the same spot every match.  An airstrike will hit the island while players are still in the dropship, completely rearranging the landscape of a random Point of Interest. This new dynamic map element could collapse a roof, block off a favorite route, or otherwise make it cramped if too many people have the same idea. You’ll have to be attentive during the drop and make a game-time call if your usual home is worth the risk. 

Thankfully, even if the airstrike does blow up your plan at the start of the game, there are a handful of new routes to take to access your favorite POIs, as Beenox Studios reworked Rebirth Island’s entire shoreline. Not only are there aquatic vehicles now, but underground tunnels give players more freedom to make it around the map without having to expose themselves to the chaos up above. 

Best Places to Drop on Rebirth Island

If you’ve played Rebirth Island before, you’ll know what goes down at the Prison. Contesting the roof almost always means you’re in for an explosive, slobber-knocking multi-team fight. It’s a great way to put yourself in the thick of the chaos, so get to a gun fast and keep the pedal down. Even if you clear off the roof, there’s still the interior of the building to contend with, and you can bet other players will be on the hunt after hearing all the racket up top.

The Bioweapons POI is much the same but on a tighter scale. Fewer teams will land here, but it’s still guaranteed to be action-packed due to its tight corridors. Enemies will flood the stairwells, windows, and doors, so keep your gun up and be ready for anything. Taking control of this area sets you up nicely to play opportunist against those on the Prison roof, so it’s worth the risk if you pull it off.

Stronghold will also see a ton of attention each game. Establishing control of a helicopter makes it a breeze to get the drop on teams at other POIs, giving aggressive players an unmatched game-speed catalyst. You’ll have the pace of the lobby in your hands if you survive a drop here, making it a valuable option for confident players. 

Best Loadout Strategy For Rebirth Island

Choosing a place to land won’t be very important if you can’t stay alive on the ground. Taking the right equipment into battle is crucial for winning matches. Remember, Rebirth is minuscule compared to Urzikstan, so your loadout should reflect the difference. 

Whether you need to sit back and pick people off at a distance, Tactical Sprint directly at the enemy, or play the middle ground somewhere in between, our pros have cooked up a few high-powered combinations to keep you covered no matter the situation.

That’s all it takes to be ready for the fight. Now, all that’s left is to grab some teammates, get in the game, and take over the Killfeed. Good luck and happy hunting.
