What heartbeat sensors do is listen out for players who are nearby. On the little screen, it will show the position of anyone nearby with a little dot, also telling you how far away they are from you in meters.

How to Use Heartbeat Sensor in CoD Warzone

First of all, there are a few ways you can get it. First, you can find it lying around the floor and in loot crates across Verdansk. It’s pretty common, so just look for the little screen on the ground and grab it.

It is a Tactical item, in the same category as things like stun and flash grenades, so it can be added to a loadout. Head to your custom loadouts and change the tactical item to Heartbeat Sensor. Then, when you get a loadout drop in a match, you’ll have one with you.

To actually use it once you’re in the game, you need to hold L1 if you’re on PS4 (LB on Xbox One and Q on PC) to bring it out. It will then pulse every five seconds or so as it looks for enemies nearby. When you let go of the button, your character will put it away.

You can keep bringing it in and out and it doesn’t expire like throwables do, so be sure to use it when creeping into buildings.
