The Warzone 2 DMZ is full of some difficult missions that give very little direction, but finishing them is key for progressing through the mode and getting better loot. So, if you need to know how to finish the Storm The Stronghold mission, we've got you covered.

Storm The Stronghold is a tier one faction mission for the Legion, and it's one of the more essential missions to finish, as it allows players to unlock higher tier faction missions with Legion, while also unlocking White Lotus missions.

The mission is broken up into three steps: collect a Stronghold Keycard, clear a Stronghold, and extract with the White Lotus intel. All of these steps are fairly straightforward, but there can be some potential roadblocks for each part. 

Firstly, players will need to locate a Stronghold Keycard. This can be found by defeating enemies and looting them, but a more consistent method is finding a Buy Station and spending $5000 to purchase one. If you want to keep hold of your cash, you'll need to hope RNG is on your side and keep killing various enemies. 

Once you have located a keycard, you'll want to head to any Stronghold. These are noted on the map by a padlock symbol, and the keycards are universal, so you can travel to whichever one you want.

After reaching a Stronghold, make sure you're prepared for a fight. It may be worth stocking up on armor, ammo, and health before beginning this next step. After entering a Stronghold, a lot of enemies will spawn, some of which have strong armor or riot shields. 

Be patient and carefully move through the entire Stronghold, clearing every room and downing every enemy you see. In some Strongholds, you may need to clear outside areas like terraces and the roof too. Once every enemy is dead, and you feel safe, you can move to step three.

Move back through the Stronghold and check for a White Lotus intel drop. This will have dropped from one of the enemies you killed, so scour the floor of every room, looking for a white sheet of paper (pictured above). You can also grab this while still clearing the Stronghold, but it may be easier to leave it until last. 

Once you have the White Lotus intel, all you need to do is exfiltrate from the nearest point without dying. This will complete the Storm the Stronghold mission, and you'll now be ready for more difficult faction missions.
