The 'Champion's Quest' is a secret, extremely difficult multi-step objective that, if completed, triggers a tactical nuke to win the game. This is the ultimate 'boss fight' for a highly skilled and coordinated squad.
Prerequisites:
- Win 5 Battle Royale matches in a row, or 30 total wins in a season. This unlocks the Champion's Quest contract.
Champion's Quest Steps:
- Activate the Contract: A special contract appears on the map. Activating it reveals three bomb components.
- Collect the Components:
- Uranium: Found in a specific location, emits radiation, and slows you down.
- Battery: Found in another location, causes periodic EMP bursts, disabling electronics.
- Wiring: Found in a third location, causes periodic electrical shocks, damaging players.
Each component must be carried by a different player. If a player carrying a component is downed, they drop it.
- Assemble the Bomb: Once all three components are collected, a bomb site is revealed. All three players carrying components must interact with the bomb site simultaneously to begin assembly.
- Defend the Bomb: A countdown begins, and the bomb site becomes a highly contested area. All remaining players in the lobby are notified and will converge on your position to stop you.
- Detonation: If you successfully defend the bomb until the countdown finishes, the nuke detonates, and your squad wins the match.
Strategies for Completing the Champion's Quest:
- Elite Team: This requires an extremely skilled and coordinated squad. Communication is paramount.
- Loadout Preparation: Have loadouts optimized for both long-range defense and close-quarters combat. Ghost is essential.
- Vehicle Use: Use vehicles to quickly collect components and reach the bomb site.
- Killstreaks & Field Upgrades: Stock up on UAVs, Precision Airstrikes, Cluster Strikes, Armor Boxes, and Munitions Boxes. These are critical for defense.
- Defensive Positioning: Choose a bomb site with good natural cover and choke points.
- Aggressive Defense: You cannot simply hide. You must actively defend the bomb site from all incoming enemies.
- Gas Awareness: The gas will still close in. Plan your defense around its movement.
Reward: An exclusive Nuke Operator skin, weapon blueprint, emblem, and calling card, along with the ultimate bragging rights.
