Warzone 2 is giving everyone keys to the nukes for the next week
Call of Duty has no greater a flex than the tactical nuke. Back in 2009's Modern Warfare 2, the nuke was a killstreak that could only be earned by putting down 25 kills without dying. Triggering a nuke immediately ends the match in your favor, kinda like grabbing the golden snitch in Quidditch, but with skin-melting radiation. It took less than a week for players to figure out how Infinity Ward had brought back the nuke for its battle royale spinoff Warzone 2: instead of killstreaks, you have to win five matches in a row just to start the nuke quest.
At least, you usually have to. To celebrate the end of Warzone 2 Season 3 and the impending arrival of Season 4, Activision has temporarily lifted the winstreak requirement for the nuke quest, handing all of its millions of players keys to weapons of mass destruction.
Though, don't expect every match to end with a mushroom cloud for the next week. The temporary shortcut gives you access to nuke quest, but you still have to fight through swarms of players and AI to put the bomb together. The tasklist for assembling the nuke is called the Champions Quest, and it requires squads to drive all over the map collecting pieces of the bomb. Holding a piece of the bomb pings you live on the map for everyone to see, making it especially unlikely that you'll hold onto all three before someone steals them away.
Starting now, Champion’s Quest is enabled for all Players in all core BR modes!This week is your last chance to earn the current CQ rewards before they’re retired.New rewards coming with #Warzone2 Season 04… ☢️
