How to get a nuke in Warzone 2?

Did you know that there is a way to win the game instantly in Warzone 2? That is called “dropping a nuke,” and honestly, it is not the easiest thing to do. Recently, the game has thrown a serious curveball into the mix with the introduction of the Tactical Nuke on the Al Mazrah map. This game-changing feature allows players to wipe out the competition and clinch a win. But, let’s be real, it's no walk in the park. Many players are scratching their heads, wondering how in the world they can unleash this destructive force in Warzone 2. It might be hard, but it is surely not impossible, as you can find examples of players accomplishing it on the internet. In this guide, we will show you how to get a nuke in Warzone 2!

Your mission starts with the Champion's Quest contract. This contract is your ticket to obtaining and assembling the nuke elements. Sounds cool, right? Here's a breakdown of the steps to arm that Tactical Nuke:

1. Rack Up Five Wins

Before anything else, you've got to secure five victories in a row. No easy feat, but this is the first key to unlocking the Champion's Quest contract. Alternatively, you can win 30 games in a season to unlock the Champion's Quest contract.

2. Load into Your Sixth Match

Once you've got your five wins under your belt, jump into your sixth Warzone 2 match. Keep an eye out for that Champion's Quest contract prompt before you make your grand entrance into the chaos.

3. Hunt Down the Elements

Look at your map, and you'll see three yellow Warzone symbols hanging out close to each other. Your goal now? Find those Elements before the match wraps up.
 

4. Grab the Nuke Elements

Wait for those circles in the objective bar to fill up, revealing an element. Start with Beryllium, accept the golden glow of the Most Wanted crown, then rinse and repeat for Plutonium and Tritium.

5. Tough It Out

Endure the consequences: Radiation damage, scrambled Radar, and keep at it until the bomb site is revealed at circle number 4.

6. Assemble Your Nuke

Get to the bomb site, throw the materials together, and kick off a 2-minute countdown until boom time.

7. Guard Your Nuke

Once that baby is armed, defend it like your virtual life depends on it for a solid 2 minutes to witness the Tactical Nuke's grand finale.

What are the rewards for dropping a nuke in Warzone 2?

Your sweat and determination pay off big time. Drop that tactical nuke, and you get the Champions Domination victory message, plus unlock the Nuke Operator skin – a real badge of honor. And hey, there's more: a Boombox weapon charm, a Radioactive nuclear sticker, and a Quest nuke calling card to show off your newfound prowess. However, rewards vary and may include calling cards, emblems, stickers, weapon charms, and weapon camos.

As mentioned above, dropping a nuke in Warzone 2 is obviously not easy, but it is also not impossible. If you improve yourself in the game and have some luck, you might be able to pull it off and wipe your enemies off of the battlefield easily. Gear up, soldier. The battlefield awaits, and victory has never been more explosive. Good luck, and may the nuke be ever in your favor!
