Warzone allows dedicated players to call in a Nuke in Rebirth Island, automatically securing a win for your squad and ending the game early.

The feature, originally introduced in multiplayer, was first added to the battle royale mode in Urzikstan, and then later to Vondel and Rebirth Island.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to complete the Rebirth Island Champion’s Quest in Warzone.

How to unlock Rebirth Island Nuke

The Rebirth Island Champion’s Quest can be completed in Warzone once players have won five matches in a row or won 30 matches across the whole season. After you hit either of these milestones, the Champion’s Quest Contract will be marked on your map when entering a match.

How to complete Warzone Rebirth Island Champion’s Quest

  1. Pick up the Champion’s Quest Contact marked on your map at the beginning of the match.
  2. This will begin a countdown, after which elements will begin dropping in – starting with Beryllium.
  3. Interact with the Care Package to drop the element and add it to your inventory.
  4. Then, do the same for Neptunium and Tritium.
  5. Once you’ve collected all three, the Nuke will appear on the map.
  6. Head over to it and deposit the elements to arm the explosive.
  7. Defend the Nuke for two minutes.
  8. Watch it explode and claim the victory.

To complete the Nuke in Warzone’s Rebirth Island, enter the match and grab the Champion’s Quest contract marked on your map. Then, you must collect three different elements by surviving and completing in-game tasks.

Unlike Urzikstan’s version, the Elements will drop after you survive a 10-minute countdown. You can reduce this timer by completing in-game actions such as interrogating enemies, securing kills, and looting. For tips on how to optimize this process, check out our tips below.

When the first timer hits zero, a Nuclear Crate containing the Beryllium element will drop from a helicopter. This element reveals the location of its carrier.

Each element will have a different effect on the player carrying it.

Grabbing it will automatically trigger a second 10-minute timer and once it ends you can grab the Neptunium element. The Neptunium will deliver high-voltage shocks to the players carrying it in their inventory.

Lastly, survive the third 10-minute timer to obtain the Tritium item, which will disable the radar (minimap) and vehicles for its holder.

Once you have all three items, you will receive a notification with the location of the Bomb Site, marked on the minimap. Head to the Bomb Site, deposit the Elements and arm the bomb.

Defend the Nuke from enemies once it’s armed.

You will then need to defend the Bomb for two minutes. Be aware that other players may attempt to steal the Nuke from you, so be prepared for potential interference.

If you manage to defend the site without major issues, the Nuke will detonate when the timer expires, ending the match. You will then be crowned Warzone Champion and receive all Season 5 rewards.

How to reduce countdown fast

  • Loot extensively: Collect everything you can to greatly reduce your cooldown time, including Supply Caches and duffle bags. These items also provide resources that will aid your survival and help you achieve the Nuke objective.
  • Interrogate enemies: Instead of quickly eliminating enemies, take the opportunity to interrogate them once they’re down to earn extra cooldown points.
  • Spend money wisely: Purchasing armor plates is the most economical way to reduce cooldowns. They are the cheapest item, allowing you to decrease your cooldown without significantly draining your funds.
  • Take advantage of Firesales: Firesale events are crucial for significantly reducing your cooldown time. They allow you and your teammates to buy armor plates repeatedly at the Buy Station taking advantage of lowered prices. These events typically occur during the third circle.
  • Use portable Buy Stations: Having portable Buy Stations on hand is essential for accumulating points. Deploy them in well-protected areas to avoid getting eliminated.
  • Avoid unnecessary fights: Remember that dying during the cooldown reduction process will increase the cooldown time, so it’s important to avoid engagements where you are at a disadvantage.
