Whether you are a Multiplayer sweat, a Zombies survivor, or a Warzone tactician, the Week 1 challenges are your first step toward seasonal glory.

How to Speedrun Week 1: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Battleground If you want to finish these as fast as possible, head into Multiplayer Small Map Moshpit. Using a suppressed Assault Rifle there will help you knock out two or three challenges in just a few matches.

Step 2: Optimize for Criticals in Zombies For the Zombies fans, the 250 critical kills are easiest to farm in the Tier 1 zones. Round up a “horde” and aim for the head. If you’re lucky, you’ll run into the 5 Mimics needed for the secondary challenge during a Bounty contract.

Step 3: Drop Hot in Warzone Warzone players should focus on the “Loot Caches” challenge. Dropping into a Resurgence match in the South Region of the map is the most efficient way to open boxes quickly without getting caught in the “gas” during late-game rotations.

Step 4: Equip the New Meta Once you’ve cleared five tasks, the JAK Devastator Conversion Kit is yours. This Aftermarket Part is rumored to turn standard shotguns into high-mobility powerhouses.
