Call of Duty: Warzone introduced a number of changes with the return of Verdansk, many of which were aimed at recapturing the feel of the original battle royale experience. Among the updates is the addition of a new feature called Detailed Death Recap, which gives players a clearer breakdown of how they were eliminated during a match.
For a long time, Warzone players have faced challenges in understanding how they were taken out – an issue made worse by the presence of hackers, cheaters, exploits, and bugs. These factors often lead to confusing or unexpected eliminations. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about the Detailed Death Recap in Warzone so you can better recognize what happens when you’re taken out in-game.

What Is Detailed Death Recap in Call of Duty: Warzone?
The Detailed Death Recap in Call of Duty: Warzone is an on-screen summary that appears when a player is eliminated, breaking down the key factors that led to their death. Displayed in the top-right corner during the killcam, this widget provides clear, detailed information about the encounter – helping reduce guesswork by showing exactly what happened during the fight or situation that resulted in the player’s elimination, whether they’re sent to the lobby, Gulag, or left to spectate teammates and eventually respawn.
Detailed Death Recap Gameplay Tracking Elements, Explained
Here are all the Detailed Death Recap indicators and what they mean:
- List of attackers with their name, weapon, damage, and hits.
- Affected by Live Ping: Indicates if the enemy had you pinged.
- Affected by UAV: Indicates if you were revealed on the minimap by a UAV, UAV Tower, or Advanced UAV.
- Affected by Unsuppressed Weapon (or Weapon Ping): Indicates if firing an unsuppressed weapon exposes your position to nearby enemies.
As explained by Warzone's development team, Raven Software, this quality-of-life feature is part of their ongoing effort to "improve clarity and address concerns about unfair deaths." However, they plan to expand the Death Recap feature in future updates by adding additional gameplay tracking elements. The goal is to turn it into a valuable tool that helps players better understand the circumstances of their death, recognize enemy advantages, and ultimately enhance their overall performance. To ensure this, the team is focused on providing meaningful insights while keeping the widget clear, informative, and easy to navigate – without overwhelming the player.
This tool will serve as a valuable resource for players to better understand the game’s mechanics and identify overlooked factors that may be affecting their performance. By recognizing these elements, players can adjust their strategy – either by avoiding common mistakes or capitalizing on missed opportunities. With future expansions, the Death Recap Widget will provide all the key information needed to analyze how you were eliminated. It will help you break down your own actions and decisions while offering insight into how your opponent gained the upper hand.
