Call of Duty: Warzone 2 introduces new ways to loot and improve your loadouts. Instead of salvaging random locations and looting dead enemy players, you can choose to raid Strongholds and Black Sites.

Strongholds and Black Sites are new points of interest on the new Al Mazrah map of Warzone 2. They not only give you better (more valuable, high-level) loot but also pit you against a sort of mini-game where you must fend off AI-controlled enemies called AQ Soldiers.

However, defeating these bots is easier said than done in Warzone 2. You must first capture their Strongholds for a Black Site Key and then head out to access a Black Site for further rewards while taking down groups of AQ Soldiers.

The following guide will explain how to access Black Sites in Warzone 2 and also why the trouble will be worth it.

How to unlock Black Sites in Warzone 2

To unlock Black Sites, players in Warzone 2 must first capture a Stronghold before any other team. Strongholds are heavily fortified locations that become available after the first circle has closed.

You will get an announcement that new Stronghold locations are now available on the map. Take note that Strongholds spawn in random locations every time.

Make your way to a Stronghold building by either spotting the tower/castle-like icon on the map or an outpost with Al Qatala flags. Head inside and start killing bots. Your objective will be to defuse a bomb or defeat a certain number of AQ Soldiers.

Once you have captured the Stronghold, you will get free access to your custom loadout, loads of loot, and a permanent UAV for the surrounding areas.

Do note that AQ Soldiers will still try to take the Stronghold back. You will lose your UAV if you exit or lose the Stronghold.

If you are the first to capture a Stronghold on the map, you will receive a Black Site Key. Players should then head towards Black Site quickly and enter it using the key.

How to get the Phantom’s Call blueprint

After getting Black Site keys, players need to head toward the black site for the fantastic loot. Their locations can be seen easily on the map as a distinctive keyhole symbol marks them. Most black sites are in the middle of the map.

Players will encounter groups of AQ Soldiers on the black site. They will be far more in number, do more damage, have more health, and be more difficult overall.

Players need to explore the entire fortress until they encounter the AI-controlled Juggernaut.

After that, you must defeat the AI-controlled Juggernaut to get Phantom’s Call blueprint. This will give them Phantom’s Call weapon blueprint for the Vaznev-9K SMG and access to a loadout crate, a ton of cash, weapons, killstreaks, and other loot.
