To get a Nuke in Warzone Season 1, play Rally Point on Zodiac, raise $1,000,000 in Cash and buy it at a Buy Station. Only one Nuke is sold per match, first come, first served. Activision confirms the purchase but lists no price; the $1,000,000 figure comes from Dexerto and Windows Central.

Rally Point is a 20-player Warzone mode with no gas circle and unlimited respawns, so you can keep earning until you can afford it. This guide covers the buying steps, where the Cash comes from and what the Nuke unlocks. For the rest of the mode, see our Warzone Zodiac map guide.

How to buy the Warzone Rally Point Nuke

Raven’s Warzone Season 1 patch notes confirm three rules: a single Nuke each match, bought at a Buy Station, first come, first served. The notes tell squads to coordinate on the Cash. Dexerto’s November 6 report gives the $1 million price.

  1. Queue Rally Point. It runs on Zodiac only.
  2. Earn Cash with your squad. You can form a squad of up to four mid-match at a Neutral Ground.
  3. Reach $1,000,000 and go to a Buy Station.
  4. Buy the Nuke before another squad does. Once one is sold, that match has no second Nuke.
  5. Wait out the countdown. Dexerto reports a cutscene of your squad evacuating as the map is destroyed, which ends the match.

Neither Raven nor the media reports explain exactly how a squad’s Cash is combined at the Buy Station, so check that with your team before you start saving. If you get close and another squad buys first, the notes give no second chance in that match.

How to earn $1,000,000 Cash in Rally Point

The Cash sources below are from Raven’s patch notes. Raven gives no payout amounts, and we found no reliable timing data yet, so how long $1,000,000 takes is not confirmed.

  • Contracts: Raven removed the Contract Cash Multiplier this season to stop Cash piling up through repeated Contracts. Expect repeats to pay less than they would have with the multiplier.
  • Payout Stations: found in Neutral Grounds, these give Cash based on your current high score.
  • Kill Rewards: these grant Supply Caches, and the loot inside gets more valuable as your score rises.

Raven also describes a Phone EXE, a device from Zodiac’s crates that pays Cash periodically while you hold it. It lists that under Resurgence and does not say whether Rally Point uses it, so we have left it out of the sources above.

Perfect End: the Han 86 Blueprint for your first Zodiac Nuke

This reward comes from Windows Central’s Zodiac challenges guide, which credits YouTube creator Incredilags and says its writer had not earned it personally. It says dropping your first Nuke on Zodiac completes a mode challenge and unlocks the “Perfect End” Han 86 Blueprint.

Raven’s notes say Rally Point offers one exclusive Weapon Blueprint and two Weapon Camos. Activision has not named that Blueprint or said how the two camos unlock.

Warzone Rally Point Nuke vs other Nukes

Three different things now get called a Nuke, and they do not share rules.

Other hidden challenges on Warzone Zodiac

These two also come from Windows Central’s play and community reports, not from Activision. Its guide says more may turn up.

  • Tourist Trap: visit every point of interest on Zodiac. The reward is a calling card.
  • Fame: get featured on Zodiac’s smart displays 8 times, which needs leading stats in your lobby such as the top score or most eliminations. The reward is an animated calling card, and the guide says Rally Point works for this.

MW4 multiplayer Nuke and weapon leveling services

These services cover Modern Warfare 4 multiplayer, not the Rally Point purchase, which you have to make in the match. Season 1 changes are in our Warzone Season 1 patch notes guide.
