A Nuke or MGB in Modern Warfare 3 is incredibly tough to achieve, with it requiring you to rack up 30 consecutive kills in a match without dying - not including eliminations from Killstreaks.

If you thought multiplayer was hard enough, Warzone is a completely different beast. First, you need to win five BR games in a row just to get the Champion's Quest, then you have to dive down into a match and obtain different elements that all temporarily nerf your Operator in different ways.

Finally, you have to plant the Nuke and defend the location until the bomb goes off. If you manage this, you'll bag yourself one of the rarest skins in Warzone. With the upcoming Season 3, there's a brand-new Champion's Quest for Rebirth Island, and that means a fresh Nuke skin for competitors to collect.

The excitement for Rebirth Island's return is at an all-time high, and for those who want a real challenge on April 3, there's a Champion's Quest on the Resurgence map to complete.

If you can complete the unbelievably tough mission, you'll be rewarded with an orange Nuke skin featuring a gas mask and black equipment. While certainly less flashy than previous Champion's Quest rewards, this one accurately depicts what an Operator planting an MGB would look like.

"That chemical warfare suit skin looks fire," said one player, with another claiming, "Just take my money." Since this cosmetic cannot be bought in the store, competitors will likely have to grind for hours to unlock the Nuke skin.

Those looking to take on the Rebirth Island Champion's Quest will need a well-organised squad with near-perfect aim, as well as plenty of luck on their side. If you're eyeing up the mission, good luck out there.

CoD fans believe Rebirth Island Nuke is going to be harder than regular BR

 

Many in the community believe that Rebirth Island's Nuke will be significantly harder to complete than standard BR.

As the map is smaller and more chaotic, it's going to be difficult to go under the radar. Once the bomb is planted, you have to imagine everyone in the match is going to run to the location. The success rate of pulling off the Nuke will ultimately come down to the skill of the other squads in the lobby, so luck is going to have to be on your side.

Players are already wincing at the prospect of the new Champion's Quest, with someone echoing what we're all thinking by saying, "That’s gonna be so hard lmao, honestly good luck to anyone who does it, that’s way more impressive than regular Battle Royale."

Either way, another rare cosmetic only being obtainable through in-game means is always brilliant, as it gives competitors a long-term goal to work towards. Whether you like the cosmetic or not, if you see anyone with it in Warzone, you know they're the real deal.
