How to do a Finisher in Warzone

In case you were wondering, the answer is yes: Finishers in Warzone work the exact same way as Finishers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. For better or worse, that means they also have the same drawbacks. Namely, you need to make sure there is no one else around before attempting to execute an enemy. The animation for Finishers can be lengthy, and they leave you wide open to attack from other players.
Not only that, but you can only perform Finishers in Warzone while you’re behind an enemy. Otherwise, pressing or holding the Melee button will instead perform a simple low-damage attack. You can avoid this problem by only going after Finishers when you’re reasonably sure they will land. Not only do will you get an easy kill, you’ll earn even more points than you would otherwise.
