One of the toughest challenges in Warzone 2 is completing a nuke, meaning the majority of players don't even attempt Champion's Quest because it's so difficult. This is even though the devs supposedly made acquiring them easier than ever.
With four elements scattered across the map that you have to collect, every time you pick up a new material it debuffs your character. These penalties include being permanently marked on the map and taking continual radiation damage, as well as a scrambled radar.
After all this, you still have to go and plant the nuke at a specific site and defend it from the whole lobby. Well, the standard challenge was a little too easy for CoD YouTuber jamcowl, so they decided to complete the world's first zero-kill nuke.
CoD player achieves zero-kill nuke in Warzone 2
After a total of 27 contract attempts, jamcowl finally managed to achieve the first-ever zero-kill solo nuke at the tail end of Season 3.
During this time, Raven Software enabled Champion's Quest for all players in every core BR mode, meaning it gave jamcowl a chance to pull off multiple attempts in a row.
Once they acquired all of the elements, the YouTuber managed to survive an extremely intense endgame. While the bomb was planted, all they could do was throw shock sticks to stop any opponents from defusing the bomb.
Hiding on a rooftop looking over the plant site, the ring moved in jamcowl's favour, forcing the final enemy player to run into the safe zone away from the nuke. This secured the victory for the talented CoD player, who celebrated the achievement and obviously felt relieved that the challenge was finally complete.
What setup did they use to complete zero-kill WZ2 nuke?
During the zero-kill Warzone 2 nuke, jamcowl used the Riot Shield as their primary weapon to negate any enemy gunfire.
Not only that, they used shock sticks to interrupt opponents defusing the bomb, and smokes to cover their path - hiding them from their opponents.
Even with all these tools, the 27th attempt required a lot of luck and skill to achieve, so it's unlikely anyone is going to match this challenge anytime soon.
