Swagg answering the phone in Wazone The Haunting event

Warzone’s The Haunting event is here, with its challenges offering players some Halloween-themed treats. Ghostface is calling, so you need to answer three phone calls across Verdansk, and here are the Warzone phone locations.

In order to unlock the LAPA SMG and all of the other Halloween-themed cosmetics, Warzone players must complete nine The Haunting challenges. These include filling and reducing your Fear Meter, becoming a Ghost, and answering calls from Ghostface.

To complete this Haunting challenge, you’ll need to answer three ringing phones across Verdansk when playing in the Ghosts of Verdansk playlist.

Here are all of the phones we’ve found so far.

Phone ringing in Warzone Airport

Phones can be found all over Verdansk, particularly in buildings that you would expect to have phones – such as the Hospital and Airport. You’ll be able to hear the phones ring from a while away, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble when you’re in the right location.

Here’s every phone location we’ve found so far in Warzone’s The Haunting event:

  • Hospital: At the reception desk
  • TV Station: In the office cubicles
  • Downtown: In the Verdansk Parliamant Building
  • Airport: In a portacabin outside and by the departure gate

Warzone’s Hospital telephone can be found in the main reception area. If you head through the main doors at the Promenade side, keep going and you’ll find it beside a desk on the right-hand side.

Warzone TV Station phone location

Another phone can be found inside the TV Station. Head to the main newsroom area with all of the desks, and one of the phones will start ringing.

Warzone Downtown Phone location

To answer the phone in Downtown, you need to head to the Verdansk Parliament Building – this is the one across the road from Nakatomi Plaza. Look for the desk on the north side and the phone will be on a table.

Warzone Airport phone locations

The first Airport phone can be found by the departure gate. This is the area that protrudes from the main building, right beside the plane on the runway.

The second phone can be found in a portacabin on the east side of Airport, where the buildings form an L shape. Look in the cabin in the corner of the L, and you’ll see the phone on a table.

How to answer the phone for Warzone The Haunting challenges

Answering the phone is simple, you just need to wait for it to ring and then press the interact button to answer it. Ghostface will be on the other end taunting you, and then you can carry on with your game.

You can also just wait by the phone for it to ring again, so you should only have to visit one location. But be careful, staying still will cause your Fear Meter to rise and lead to hallucinations. Plus, Ghosts will be even more deadly in the confines of indoor areas.
