Warzone Hot Pursuit guide: Everything you need to know to win
Chase, escape, surviveWarzone Hot Pursuit is one of the fastest and most exciting modes ever added to Call of Duty: Warzone. Unlike standard Battle Royale, this limited-time mode is built around high-speed vehicles, nonstop action, and role-based gameplay. If regular Warzone is about careful rotations and slow positioning, Warzone Hot Pursuit is about movement, pressure, and quick decisions.
In this Warzone guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Prop Hunt Royale, including how the mode works, how to play, the best strategies for both Props and Hunters, and tips to help you survive longer and win more matches.
What is Warzone Hot Pursuit?
At its core, Warzone Hot Pursuit splits players into two groups:
- Police
- Thieves

Each side has its own vehicles, abilities, and playstyle.
Police Role
Police are built for tracking and hunting enemies. Their job is simple: find Thieves and eliminate them quickly.
Police vehicles include:
- ATV
- JLTV
- Light Heli
These vehicles come with special abilities:
- Radar Pulse (Sirens): reveals nearby Thieves on the mini-map
- Heli Bonus: shows the direction enemies are moving
- Wall Vision: lets you see enemy vehicles through walls and terrain
Police have strong information tools, which makes them deadly in coordinated squads.
Thief Role
Thieves are all about speed, evasion, and survival.
Their vehicles include:
- UTV
- Dirt Bike
Special abilities include:
- UTV Boost: extra speed to escape pursuit
- Active Camo: temporary invisibility on Dirt Bike
- Smoke Deployment: breaks enemy vision instantly
- Loot Tracking: helps locate high-tier loot caches
Thieves win by staying unpredictable.
