Warzone 2.0: What is Plunder? Explained

Plunder is a mode that happens within Warzone’s battle royale and has squads collecting money. This can be done by looking on the ground, looting caches, selling items, or simply killing other players.

The rules are simple, you and your squad must either cash in two million dollars or get more money till the timer runs out. If both team tie, the game will go into overtime where the cash amount is now 1.5 times larger.

The catch and what players enjoy about this mode is the high-risk-high-reward playstyle. If you die holding a large sum of money, you’ll lose a large portion of it. Making you either run to the helipad to deposit the remaining amount or get more money.

Whichever team wins with the highest amount of cash wins. The reason why this mode is popular is that you can use it to level up quickly.
