How to get Ghost title in Warzone

Nathan Warby

At the end of a Warzone match, you’re awarded an accolade based on how you’ve played and the Ghost title is one of the toughest to get.

While some are as simple as getting kills with the best weapons or reviving teammates, others require you to master a specific playstyle.

The Ghost title is all about stealth, so here’s how to get it in Warzone.

How to earn Ghost victory title in Warzone

  • Get kills using Throwing Knives.
  • Kill enemies using suppressed weapons.
  • Take little or no damage.
  • Don’t die multiple times.

The Ghost title is awarded for winning a match with a stealthy playstyle that encourages you to remain undetected by enemies. However, while we know what you need to do, the exact criteria are a little vague.

To get this title, you’ll want to avoid taking damage as much as possible, and you should definitely try to stay alive. Some players have reported that dying once and returning from the Gulag can still earn you the award, but being brought back a second or third time by a teammate ruins your chances.

Arguably the most difficult part of the challenge is getting Throwing Knife kills, as these require you to get up close and personal with the enemy without taking too much damage.

Pulling all this off while still going on to win the match is no easy task, so we’ve put together some tips to make life easier.

Tips to play stealthily and earn Ghost title

Play Solos

The easiest mode to get the Ghost title in Warzone is Solos on Urzikstan. This is because you haven’t got to worry about your teammates dragging you into a firefight that you don’t want to be in and you can focus solely on the task at hand.

It also means that there’s only one enemy to deal with at once, making it far easier to stealth them than if they had three other squadmates to keep them safe.

Land in a quiet area

Since the Ghost title forces you to avoid taking damage, it’s best to land at a location where you won’t run into enemies. This means avoiding hot zones like Zaravan City or Orlov Military Base, in favor of some of the quieter areas of the map.

In fact, we recommend avoiding named locations altogether and sticking to the smaller groups of buildings in between named POIs. You’re much less likely to run into another team this way and you can simply stay put away and wait for your Loadout Drop.

Build a stealthy loadout

This may seem obvious, but make sure you tweak your Warzone loadout to meet the requirements. It’s best to run a meta Assault Rifle and SMG like the STG44 and Static-HV, both with a silencer so that all of your kills count.

Also, it’s vital that you choose Throwing Knives as your Lethal option, otherwise, you’ll be forced to find them as ground loot, which forces you to leave cover.

Last but certainly not least, be sure to use Perks like Ghost and Cold Blooded to keep you hidden from UAVs and other Equipment. Alternatively, you could swap Cold Blooded for something like Tracker, which highlights enemy footsteps to make it easier to sneak up behind them.

Don’t push enemies until you’ve got your loadout

When you first land, you’ll be forced to make do with the ground that you can scavenge. However, most of this won’t help you towards the Ghost title, so it’s advised that you avoid fights altogether until you can get a Loadout Drop or buy a loadout for yourself.

Although the requirements don’t forbid you from using an unsilenced gun or getting kills in different ways, to give yourself the best chance try not to fire a single shot without a suppressor.

Hide

The final tip is arguably the most important – hide. To get Throwing Knife kills from close range without taking too much damage, you’ll want to catch the enemy unaware by staying out of view and sneaking up behind them.

With this in mind, you’ll need to choose your fights carefully and only emerge if you’re sure you can take them out cleanly. To do this, find yourself a room somewhere in the circle where you can stay out of the way but still spring into action if you need to.

One option is holing up inside a bathroom or bedroom and listening out for footsteps, or waiting by a window close to a Buy Station to pick a player off when they least expect it.

You don’t have much time left to get the Ghost title in this era of Warzone, as the Battle Royale’s integration with Black Ops 6 is expected at the end of 2024, at which point there will be a host of new guns to unlock and challenges to complete.
