20 sweaty names for Warzone

Use them wisely.

Warzone players looking to instill fear in opponents’ hearts, look no further. We’ve got the sweatiest names for Warzone, and your enemies won’t forget them.

Years ago, the sweatiest names had “X” on either side and a clan tag to match. Now you can change your name on a dime, things have to be a lot cleaner. 

From now on, when an opponent sees your name, they’ll steal it. You’ll be the bane of everyone’s Warzone existence, and your name will be remembered years after Warzone’s collapse. I’ve done extensive research and these are the best names I could find. 

The sweatiest Warzone names

1) Deadshot

Seeing “Deadshot” appear after my untimely demise would send me into a rage. Upon my death, I would immediately question if this was a DC-related reference, and it would make blood gush out of my ears. To be “Deadshot,” you must shoot like “Deadshot”—so aim for the head. 

The bullet wouldn’t kill me, the name would do all the work.

2) Ghost

A reference to an earlier Call of Duty title shows your stripes. You’ve gone through each Veteran campaign and likely didn’t die (as far as your opponents are aware). While Ghost returned in recent Modern Warfare games, your opponent will never know if you’re referring to the old or new Ghost.

3) Lethal

The key here is the cringe factor. If your name makes me physically uncomfortable, like “Lethal” does, I’m personally more likely to call you a sweat. This is one of the more sweaty names on this list, and I release this into the Warzone ecosystem knowing I’ll see a Lethal kill me due time.

4) AimZ

There’s nothing quite like being killed by someone whose name explains what they just did. Yes, we know you can aim, just don’t rub it in my face. The added “Z” is pretty sharp too. 

5) Incognito

This name can do multiple things. Killing a player named “Incognito” would bring me immense joy, however, dying at the hands of a player with that name would make me question whether I should play Warzone ever again. 

The perfect balance. 

6) Swifty

Either you’re referring to your taste in music, or talking about your speed. Both are bound to upset players, and you could meet some like-minded fans of Taylor along the way.

7) Skxll

At first glance, this might be a difficult read for those unfamiliar with vowels. “Skxll” provides the perfect blend of sweat and cringe. I’ve been killed by many-a Skull in my Warzone career and with an “X” instead of a vowel? You’ve got my blood boiling. 

Not only that, it can even be read as “Skill.” There are just so many layers.

8) Xotic

Players with the username “Xotic” haven’t got time to miss, let alone spell their name correctly. This name has stood the test of time. I remember seeing it years ago in my heyday. Now, as a veteran, sweaty, gamertag survivor, this name gives me flashbacks—and not the good kind

9) Bot

This name is a double-edged sword. If you’re having a bad game, the name speaks for itself. If you’re on fire, however, players will clench their teeth so hard that their braces meld together. The last thing they’ll say is “Bot” before their teeth explode into powder, and their controller flies into their Lego collection—true story.

10) Endr

Endr says it all. Your opponents will cease to exist, and so will the “e” inside your name. I’ve seen “Endr” in multiple titles and every time, I could smell the sweat dripping from their forehead.

11) Killer

This name announces to everybody else that you’re a try-hard. You can make this even better by using numbers instead of letters. Why would you want to be lethal when you can be K1ll3R?

12) Pro

Much like “Bot,” this name is a double-edged sword. Although all players will instantly know you’re not a pro, most people would get mad at someone using that name. However, you’ll quickly become the joke if you don’t perform well.

13) DaBullet

This name can be funny at times, especially when the game shows that “DaBullet” killed an adversary. You will make some people mad when they see that what killed them was DaBullet.

14) Godlike

This name works a lot like “Pro.” If you’re Godlike, you better be good enough to make your adversaries mad. Dying to someone called “Godlike” is beyond frustrating when the person using that name is actually godlike.

15) Reaper

When “Reaper” appears on the battlefield, death is not far behind. This player is a harbinger of doom, wielding their weapons with deadly precision. Reaper strikes fear into the hearts of their enemies, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake. As long as the reaper can actually claim the lives of their enemies, that is.

16) H4VoK

Want to tell other players you’re here to start some chaos? Then you can’t go wrong with “H4VoK.” It’s time for some explosions, baby.

17) DEATH

The edgiest and clingiest names never fail. Death comes to all in Warzone, but you’re surely be noticed if you decided to use this name in all caps. Like “Pro,” “Bot,” and “Reaper,” this is a name that demands someone who can perform well to make it work.

18) Apex

All caps, all dominance. “APEX” isn’t just aiming for victory; they’re aiming for the top. They strive to reach the top of every leaderboard, leaving a trail of defeated opponents in their wake. Or they might be mistaken for someone who likes a certain battle royale game.

19) N00b

This is a tricky name that can trigger some people in the best way. Killing a noob is an obligation, but being killed by a N00b might turn a player into a rage quitter.

20) HawkEye

The name exudes an aura of cringe-worthy bravado, echoing the relentless accuracy and precision reminiscent of its comic book counterpart. If you’re a good sniper, this is the name for you.

Honorable mentions

These are sure to annoy, but they’re not the worst.
