Contracts: Basics

Learn the ins and outs of Contracts in Call of Duty: Warzone. From Bounties to Scavengers, master every contract type to gear up and get the win.

Alright, so you're dropping into Verdansk and wondering what all these little icons popping up on your map mean? Those are Contracts, and they're super important for getting geared up fast and even helping your team out. Think of them as mini-missions that give you rewards. Let's break down what each one does so you can start racking up those wins.

Contract Types:

1. Bounty Contracts (Yellow Icon): These put a target on a specific player. You've got a time limit to hunt them down. If you succeed, you get more time and the next target is on their teammate. If you fail, the target gets the reward. Be careful, though – if you're playing Duos, the target's team will know you're coming.
2. Scavenger Contracts (Magnifying Glass Icon): Your mission here is to find and open three specific supply crates scattered around the map. The locations are marked, and you'll have a time limit. It's a great way to grab cash, ammo, armor, and better weapons early on.
3. Recon Contracts (Yellow Flag Icon): These require you to get to a marked Terminal and stay within its vicinity. Heads up: other players get alerted when you start a Recon, so make sure you're ready for a fight. The big payoff? You get to see where the next gas circle will be, giving you a massive strategic advantage.
4. Most Wanted Contract (Crown Icon): This one's a bit of a gamble. When you grab it, a bounty is placed on *you*, and your location is revealed to everyone on the map for 3 minutes. But, if you survive the 3 minutes, your entire team gets revived (if they're down) and you earn a good chunk of cash. It's high risk, high reward!
5. Supply Run Contract (Stopwatch Icon): Need cash and a discount at the Buy Station? Grab a Supply Run. You'll have a time limit to reach the nearest Buy Station. Nail it, and you'll get cash and a sweet discount on your next purchase.
6. Contraband Contract (Uncommon): These are rarer but can be super rewarding, often giving you weapon blueprints. You'll need to pick up a specific item and deliver it to a randomly marked location. Once you're there, you'll have to call in a chopper to extract the package.
