This error code is mainly seen when there is a server-side issue or when the official servers are offline. Such an issue would require the players to sit tight and wait for the publishers to fix the problem and fire it up again.

However, the game might detect a local issue and display the wrong information. It is best to check the active network connection status and contact the Internet Service Providers to relay any issues.


Activision released Call of Duty Warzone 2 as a sequel and a new-generation Battle Royale title in the entire genre. The publisher set out to provide a realistic combat experience to the player base and introduced various fundamental changes to the game's mechanics.
