Want to know how to rejoin a match in Warzone? Here’s a full rundown of how you can rejoin a game if you get disconnected in the COD battle royale.

There’s nothing more frustrating than being disconnected when you’re in the middle of a Warzone match and not being able to get back in the game. Thankfully Activision introduced a rejoin feature to the Call of Duty battle royale for players back in MW2, Season 4, so you’ve got a limited amount of time to jump straight back into a match.

So, here’s exactly how you can rejoin a match after disconnecting in Call of Duty Warzone.

How to rejoin a Warzone match after disconnecting

If you’re disconnected from a Warzone match, you’ll be met with a pop-up menu that asks whether you’d like to try to rejoin the match or quit, simply select the ‘rejoin ongoing matchwithin four minutes of being disconnected and you’ll be reconnected back into the game.

Your squad must have at least one teammate remaining in the game for you to be able to rejoin, however, this rule doesn’t apply to Solo players.

There must also be at least five squads remaining to enter back into a match successfully. So unfortunately, if a player disconnects in the final stages of a match, there isn’t anything that can be done.

For Ranked Play, the mode restricts players from rejoining a match more than once, and players can have their ability to rejoin temporarily limited if they repeatedly disconnect from matches.

There are a couple of known issues with the feature including:

  • The last remaining teammate disconnecting may result in an undesirable spectator experience while the final teammate attempts to reconnect. 
  • Rejoining while still in the Driver seat of a vehicle will remove the player’s hands. This can be resolved by switching weapons.
