Rebirth Island and Verdansk are the two battle royale maps available at launch for Warzone Mobile. Regardless of which iconic map you play on, it’s possible to earn points that contribute toward unlocking rewards in Operation Day Zero.

Operation Zero challenges Warzone Mobile players to complete objectives within contested zones and earn event points. There are six contested zones on Verdansk, and the entirety of Rebirth Island is considered a contested zone.

Players clear a zone when they collectively reach the point threshold listed on-screen. Here’s a complete list of ways to earn points and clear any given zone, which contribute toward unlocking the free Ghost skin.

  • Open a Supply Box or Day Zero Supply Drop
  • Eliminate an enemy player
  • Complete a Contract
  • Use a Killstreak
  • Land a headshot
  • Purchase items from Buy Stations

It’s possible to earn event points faster by acquiring items and gear from the special day zero supply drop, which are periodically dropped into active zones and are marked on the mini-map with a crate icon. Players can also earn event points for each kill in Warzone Mobile’s fledgling multiplayer mode. The CoD developers have since explained that method gives “a lesser amount” of event points than the battle royale objectives.
