Some players may be slightly confused by the new Christmas-themed challenges in Warzone Pacific and Vanguard, especially the ones concerning Elves.

Warzone Pacific and Vanguard have both been given a Christmas makeover via the Festive Fervor event which has brought the spirit of the holidays to the games.

In addition to an unpleasant guest arriving to ruin games in Warzone and Vanguard, we have also been given new festive challenges. One of these challenges requires players to find and kill 10 Elves. For those struggling, here’s how you can complete the challenge.

How to find and kill Vanguard and Warzone Elf

Elf in Vanguard Festive Fervor

Elves are running around in both Caldera and the Multiplayer maps for Vanguard. They can be found in various locations but are most easily found by simply listening for their distinct laugh.

Typically, an Elf will be found in corners, on top of objects, and various other spots. Players will be able to hear the laugh if they are within a 10-meter range of an Elf. All you need to do to complete the challenge of killing 10 of these mischievous creatures is shoot them.

In Warzone and Vanguard, once players kill an Elf a ticking noise will countdown the time in which you will need to find another one. Keep finding and shooting these Elves until you kill the final one, which should total 10.

After doing so, the challenge will be complete!
