This guide explains how to invite friends to party in Warzone 2.0.

More than two and half years have passed since the launch of the original Call of Duty: Warzone. Millions of players have passed through Verdansk and Caldera, and thousands of hours have been spent fleeing the dreaded gas. But now Warzone 2.0 has arrived at last – and it has brought some big changes with it.

The revamped battle royale mode introduces a brand-new map. Gone are Verdansk and Caldera. Now fans can look forward to dropping in to Al Mazrah for the first time.

Al Mazrah is set to incorporate many of the locations from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II‘s multiplayer and campaign modes.

Warzone 2.0 will not only give players a new map to explore. It will also introduce a host of new gameplay features.

These include a new 2v2 Gulag, Circle Collapse, new vehicles, and a dedicated 3rd person playlist. On top of that, Warzone 2.0 is also set to feature the brand-new DMZ mode – Call of Duty‘s take on Escape from Tarkov.

Warzone 2.0 is also making some more minor changes to the way things work in battle royale. Many of which players might not even notice for weeks to come.

However, with the introduction of Warzone, there has also been some unintentional bugs and glitches.

One such bug is that the Social menu is not working (it could previously be accessed through the Options menu or by pressing the right stick).

That’s right – Social is broken. And it leaves players with no obvious way to invite friends to a party. Thankfully, there is a workaround.

So, let’s go over how to invite friends in Warzone 2.0

The whole reason the original Warzone was so successful is because it was great fun to play with your friends. If that option wasn’t available, I’m sure it would’ve been committed to the gaming history books pretty quickly.

Previously, it was possible to invite friends and play with them in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. However, the Season 01 and Warzone 2.0 update appears to have broken things. And now Social is not working.
