Champion's Quest

The Champion's Quest is a unique contract featured in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale mode, originally available on Al Mazrah. The Champion's Quest became available on Vondel following the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II's Season Five update and on Urzikstan following the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III's Season One Reloaded update.
Successfully completing the Champion's Quest will destroy the map with a nuclear blast and end the match in favor of the players who triggered it.
==Overview==
Originally, the Champion's Quest was only available after a player won 5 consecutive matches, with each match being tracked after the player watched the match credits in its entirety. Following the Modern Warfare III's Season One Reloaded update, players could also win 30 matches in total within a single Season to get access to the Champion's Quest.
Once the player wins 5 consecutive games or won 30 games in total, the next match will feature 3 contracts around the map to choose from. Rather than a phone, the Champion's Quest contract takes the form of a yellow protective case. The quest will be initiated once a contract is taken, and the players have a different set of minutes to complete it, depending on the map. (27 minutes in Al Mazrah, 20 minutes in Urzikstan and 9 minutes in Rebirth Island)
To complete the contract, the players need to track down and acquire three nuclear cores each made of a radioactive element, and each having negative effects when picked up. Any player in a squad can pick the cores. However, the cores will not appear immediately, requiring the players to wait around 18 seconds before the location of a core is marked.
In Al Mazrah, Urzikstan, the three cores are:
*Beryllium
**The carrier will be marked for every other player similarly to an Advanced UAV.
*Plutonium
**The carrier and players around the element will receive damage over time and their vision will be slightly distorted.
*Tritium
**The minimap of the carrier will be scrambled and every vehicle will be disabled.
In Vondel, the three cores are:
*Gallium
**The squad of the carrier and the carrier themselves will be highlighted similarly to an Snapshot Grenade.
*Deuterium
**The carrier is fatigued and coughs when sprinting.
*Neptunium
**The carrier and any player around him will randomly get shocked similarly to an Shock Stick and will cause Vehicles to Hay-wire.
In Rebirth Island, the three cores are:
*Beryllium
**The carrier will be marked for every other player similarly to an Advanced UAV.
*Neptunium
**The carrier and any player around him will randomly get shocked similarly to an Shock Stick and will cause Vehicles to Hay-wire.
*Tritium
**The minimap of the carrier will be scrambled and every vehicle will be disabled.
Once all three cores have been acquired, a nuclear bomb case will be dropped by cargo plane at a random location. Once the bomb site has been located, the players will have 5 minutes to insert the cores into the case and arm it, which takes around 10 seconds. Once the bomb is armed, the bomb site will be marked to every other player and a 2-minute countdown will begin. The players who armed the bomb will need to defend it from any player who will try to defuse it, which takes around 15 seconds, which would invalidate the Champion's Quest.
If the countdown runs out successfully, or if all the enemy players have been eliminated, the nuclear bomb will explode before the words "Champion's Domination" appear on the screen. A cinematic of the nuclear explosion will be played shortly after, and showing the name of the players who assembled the nuke with the title "Warzone Champions".
If a player defuses a nuke they are guaranteed an instant victory with “Warzone Savior” appearing during the post-match cinematic, and the defuser's name would pop up similarly to the original contract. The rest of the cinematic continues as normal and players are assigned their titles.
===Rebirth Island's Champion Quest===
Added following the release of Season Three of Modern Warfare III, the Champion Quest on Rebirth Island is different from its counterpart on other maps. 
Instead of having to track down the elements manually, the player and their squad have to wait for the elements and the nuke itself to be dropped down, pick it up, and then hold the element for the timer to drop the next element start. They need to repeat the same process for the two remaining elements as well as the nuke. 
Once the first element has been picked up, a fire sale will always start when the third circle begins.
The timer can be reduced by doing various actions such as: 
*Opening loot boxes (reduced by 2 to 3 seconds)
*Buying items from Buy Station
*Eliminating enemies (reduced by 5 to 20 seconds)
*Interrogating enemies (reduced by 10 to 11 seconds)
*Performing Finishing Move
*Complete the Rebirth Island easter egg (Each step reduces the timer by 29 seconds)
However, the timer for this process will go up if the following things happen:
*The player or their teammate die (timer goes up by 30 seconds)
*The person holding the element(s) die (timer goes up by 40 seconds)
