Having lower sanity in Amnesia is also similar to Warzone in that it increases the difficulty and tension of the game by messing with the player's senses. RELATED: Call of Duty: Warzone Players Are Calling For A Permanent Plunder Return Amnesia's use of the sanity meter was revolutionary at the time of its release, and it added a whole new level of horror to the experience. The mechanics of sanity in the game are pretty similar to Warzone's fear meter as both games punish players for seeing certain things or standing in the same place for too long. The player character's sanity plays a huge role in Amnesia, which is decreased by standing in the darkness, witnessing disturbing events, or even just looking at enemies. One classic horror game that the fear meter seems to have taken some inspiration from is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Many fans have voiced their frustration with the visual ones, however, as they make it nearly impossible to play the game for a while. The event is still new, but the reception of the fear meter has been largely positive amongst fans who find the auditory hallucinations add a lot of tension to matches. When a player's fear level gets up to 100 percent, they must endure more obtrusive hallucinations like shimmer effects on their screen, the game crashing to a blue screen, bugs flying in their face, or even being cut by Scream's Ghostface, who is also included in the event as a new operator skin. These include sounds indicating that they are getting shot when they aren't, a loudly laughing voice, whispers, or even just jump scares hidden when looting or making purchases. Once a player's fear meter reaches 50 percent, they will begin seeing a number of hallucinations to throw them off their game. Players can also decrease their fear meter by killing enemies, completing contracts, reviving squadmates, and standing on sacred ground. The meter goes up whenever players are shot at, are hit by an enemy's equipment, if an enemy killstreak is nearby, if they see dead bodies or ghosts, having squadmates get downed or killed, and from what Call of Duty has dubbed cowardice, better known as camping. It is split into three segments-green, yellow, and red-and rises in a few different ways. While playing the Ghosts of Verdansk game mode, players have an icon on the bottom left side of their screen representing their fear meter. How Call of Duty: Warzone's Fear Meter Works RELATED: Call of Duty: Warzone’s Vanguard Integration Date May Have Been Leaked There are some particular classic horror titles that the developers seem to have been inspired by. Many horror games make great use of sanity meters, and those mechanics seem to have been a great inspiration for Call of Duty: Warzone. Mechanics similar to the fear meter in horror games are typically presented as sanity meters that push players to manage the stress endured by their characters at risk of them becoming insane which has a range of consequences such as a heart attack in Darkest Dungeon or messing with player movement in the Clock Tower series. As unique as the mechanic is for the genre, however, it has a long legacy in the horror genre. Many games, especially battle royales, have launched their Halloween events, but many players have found themselves drawn to Call of Duty: Warzone thanks to the new mode and its unique fear meter mechanic that pushes players to approach matches a bit differently than they normally would. Call of Duty: Warzone has kicked off its Halloween event for 2021, bringing some unique cosmetics, new challenges, and the limited-time mode Ghosts of Verdansk.
