How to Unlock the Quest?

To unlock Champion’s Quest, your squad needs to meet one of two requirements:

Requirement	How It Works
5 Consecutive Wins	Win five Core Battle Royale matches in a row.
30 Total Wins	Win 30 Core Battle Royale matches within a single season.

After your squad becomes eligible, the quest does not begin automatically. You still need to enter a match and secure the Champion’s Contract from a designated contract briefcase. Picking up that briefcase activates the Champion’s Quest objective chain.

Successfully completing Champion’s Quest removes eligibility from all squad members until a new contract is earned. So no, you cannot just chain free nuke attempts forever. The game is rude like that.

How to Get Ready for The Nuke Quest

Before you can know how do you drop a nuke in Warzone, let’s first help you get those wins, shall we?

• Get a reliable squad. Champion’s Quest is not built for random teammates who push every red dot like it owes them money.
• Play for wins, not clips. Your first goal is unlocking the contract, so avoid useless fights.
  Use safe landing spots. You need cash, plates, weapons, and a stable early game.
• Rotate early. Late rotations are even more dangerous when the whole lobby wants your contract.
• Carry smokes. Smokes are still one of the best tools for revives, crossings, and objective movement.
• Keep vehicles alive. The new quest has map-wide movement, so mobility matters a lot.
• Assign roles. Decide who leads rotations, who carries key items, who watches flanks, and who handles buys.

These tips will help you get 5 consecutive wins and getting a nuke in Warzone.

How to Start the Champion’s Contract

Once your squad is eligible, you need to find the Champion’s Contract briefcase during a Core Battle Royale match. This is the item that starts the actual Champion’s Quest.

After the contract begins, your squad enters a multi-step objective chain. The new version is more dynamic than the older nuke format. Instead of only collecting three elements and defending one bomb site, your squad now has to move across the map, complete randomized objectives, and survive match-wide attention.

That means every Champion’s Quest run can feel different. Objective locations can change, public events can interfere, and enemy squads can contest your progress at several points.

How to Complete the Champion’s Quest?

The updated Champion’s Quest is a multi-step objective chain. The exact locations can change, but the main structure includes several major objectives.

Step	Objective	What You Need To Do
1	Secure the Champion’s Contract	Find the designated briefcase and activate the quest.
2	Transport the Radioactive Isotope	Pick up and move the isotope while enemy squads can contest your squad.
3	Recover the Hard Drive	Locate and secure the hard drive objective.
4	Escort the Missile Transport Vehicle	Protect the missile transport vehicle as it moves to randomized destinations.
5	Finish the Quest Chain	Complete the remaining objective sequence and survive the match-wide pressure.

The hardest part is not just finishing the objectives. The real problem is that Champion’s Quest turns your squad into the main event. Other teams can see enough information to track your progress, contest your route, and intercept important items.

Because of that, you need to treat every objective like a public fight. Clear the area before committing, use smokes before crossing open ground, and avoid standing still for too long. If the lobby knows where you are going, assume at least one squad is already waiting there.

 

 

CoD Warzone Nuke Quest Rewards

Champion’s Quest now has a completion-based reward track. The more times you complete the quest, the more exclusive Warzone Nuke rewardsyou unlock.

Completions	Reward
1 Completion	“Containment Crew - Alpha” Weapon Camo and “Axia” Grimm Animated Operator Skin
2 Completions	“Darkly Dreaming” Animated Calling Card
3 Completions	“Nuke Core” Animated Emblem
4 Completions	“Death Filter” Spray
5 Completions	“Containment Crew - Omega” Weapon Camo
6 Completions	“Gamma Stick” Flatline MK.II Melee Weapon Blueprint
7 Completions	“Critical Mess” Finishing Move
8 Completions	“Axia’s Wrath - Alpha” Animated Weapon Camo
9 Completions	“Ion the Ball” Emote
10 Completions	“Axia’s Wrath - Omega” Animated Weapon Camo

The first completion already gives you the “Containment Crew - Alpha” Weapon Camo and the “Axia” Grimm Animated Operator Skin. That is the main target for most players. The full 10-completion track is for squads that want to fully flex the system and probably make every lobby regret letting them queue.

 

 

What Are Champion’s Quest (CQ) Tokens?

Champion’s Quest tokens are another way to earn future access to Champion’s Quest progress. The main unlock path is still five consecutive Core Battle Royale wins or 30 total wins in one season, but the updated system gives squads more ways to work toward a contract.

The biggest alternate method is disrupting another squad’s Champion’s Quest run. Steal a key item from them, extract it at the designated helipad, and your squad can earn a Champion’s Quest token for a future match.

After the first world-first Champion’s Quest completion happens, the Golden Ticket public event system unlocks. Golden Ticket events create rare alternative opportunities to earn progress toward a Champion’s Quest token. They are not guaranteed, but they give the rest of the lobby more reason to engage with Champion’s Quest even when they did not unlock it themselves.
