How to get Meltdown 240 Operator Nuke skin in Warzone Season 2

In Warzone, to get the Nuke skin, Meltdown 240 Operator, you must complete the Champion’s Quest challenge. So, here’s how to call in a Nuke by completing the Champion’s Quest in Warzone:

  1. Win five consecutive matches or a total of 30 games within a season.
  2. Once you’ve achieved this feat, you’ll see the Champion’s Quest contract within Urzikstan.
  3. Drop on the location, get a hold of the contract to start it, and trigger a 20-minute downtown.
  4. Once activated, get a hold of the Geiger Counter, which you can find in the marked loot cache nearby. As soon as you have it, your region will be marked on the map.
  5. Use the Geiger Counter to find the radioactive cache inside this marked area. You will be closer to the cache the higher the radiation the device dials.
  6. When found, one of the elements (Beryllium, which will reveal your position for other players) will be inside the cache and will activate the next step.
  7. Open the locked nuclear area by going to the new location indicated on the map. Make sure to defend the safe as you begin drilling it, and keep other players from interfering.
  8. Upon completing the safe defense, another element (Tritium, which disables radar and vehicles) will drop alongside other valuable loot.
  9. Shooting down the nuclear chopper will drop a nuclear crate, which contains the third and final element (Plutonium, which will provide a radiation effect).
  10. Once you have all the three elements, the bomb site will be revealed. You need to deposit the elements here and arm the bomb.
  11. Once the elements have been placed, interact with the bomb to arm it – keep in mind that any player in the match can steal it and/or prevent you from completing it.
  12. You have to protect the Nuke for two minutes after triggering it before it explodes. Should you succeed in doing so, a cinematic that ends the match and destroys Urzikstan will play.
