Later on, both players tried climbing down ladders, which almost resulted in their deaths. After Max Verstappen accidentally fell first, Lando Norris tried to save him, but even he misjudged, causing him to fall, which should have ended their game. However, both of them had a self-revive kit. After Max used his kit, he tried finding his friend even though he laid right next to him.

He then made the horrible decision of climbing the same ladder again. After Lando notified his location, Verstappen made the mistake again, and he fell to his death from the same ladder. Thankfully, Lando still had his Self Revive Kit, which helped him save their lives. However, it was hilarious to see both drivers be absolutely clueless about something as simple as a ladder in Warzone.
