Contracts in Call of Duty: Warzone are an integral part of Activision's take on the battle royale genre. Since launching in 2020, Raven Software has added a wide range of objectives for players to complete in return for potentially game-changing rewards. For Season 5 Reloaded, the developer has introduced an all-new objective.

Known as Elite Contracts, these objectives require speed and precision for players to obtain a vast selection of rewards that are bound to help them reach the latter stages of a match in standard battle royale, Resurgence, and Ranked Play matches. Here, find out how to complete Elite Contracts during Warzone and the rewards that are up for grabs.

Arriving as part of the mid-season update, Elite Contracts are some of the more challenging objectives to complete during a Warzone match. Appearing in all game modes, the Contract requires players to complete a specific objective in a smaller amount of time than other Contracts. In the case of the Most Wanted Contract, the time is extended, making it more difficult for players to avoid opponents trying to claim a reward for themselves.

To activate an Elite Contract, players need to find the corresponding icon on the mini-map, which is easily done on the entry plane while picking the best landing spot on the Warzone map.

Completing an Elite Contract during Warzone matches grants players access to an Elite loot cache containing tens of thousands of XP, cash to spend at Buy Stations, and one of the items listed below:

  • Foresight killstreak
  • Redacted weapons
  • Specialist Perk
  • Advanced UAV

The Foresight killstreak is one of the most useful items players can find during a match. When active, they can see the locations of the remaining gas circles, giving them a huge advantage on rotations and where to prepare for the final showdown.

Access to Redacted weaponry also has the potential to turn the tide of a match. Ground loot only impacts for so long; if funds are tight, the ultra-rare weapon builds and blueprints could prove useful when picking off any incoming threats.

Are Elite Contracts Worth Completing?

For players wanting to obtain high-tier loot quickly, completing an Elite Contract in Warzone is a surefire way of doing so. As with other Contracts, the reward often outweighs the risk of completing a task within a specific time limit or outlasting the opposition hunting down a Most Wanted target.

The arrival of Elite Contracts in Call of Duty: Warzone is bound to spice up matches, especially with various rewards up for grabs. Whether it's big-map battle royale or smaller battlegrounds such as Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep, players should keep their eyes peeled for one.
