All Warzone Purgatory Island challenges and how to complete them

Warzone’s Purgatory Island showcases eight challenges, with an additional Cloud Watching Mastery unlock saved for the last. You must complete them all before The Haunting event concludes on Oct. 16. To help you with this, we’ll provide you with a brief overview of each of them and then go into more detail about some of the trickier ones:

ChallengesHow to complete themRewards
Reach Torment Level 2Eliminate enemies to increase your Torment Level. Each time you do, you’ll see a change to the skull meter on the left of your screen. Dead Guy Walking Emblem
Spend 5 minutes outside the Safe Zone without killing another OperatorLook around the map and spot a giant bubble that signifies the Safe Zone. Avoid this area, and don’t kill anyone to complete the objective. Kingdom’s Gate Emblem
Get 50 Mercenary Kills using the Terriball, or while in a vehicleYou can find Mercenaries pretty much everywhere on the Purgatory Island map. To make things easier, hit them with cars (Terriballs can be challenging to find). Devil’s Favorite Calling Card
Commend 5 Operators while in the Safe ZoneWait for players to show up in the Safe Zone. Once someone does, approach them to trigger the Commend interaction. Favored One Calling Card
Get 5 Operator Kills while in a vehicleSame as the Mercenary kills, just with other players.Inner Demons Camo
Get 3 Operator Kills using the TerriballTerriballs will spawn randomly around the map, but they don’t seem to appear too often. Opening Scare Packages proves to be the best option. Then, you can start shooting the ball to get an Operator Kill. Still Beating Camo
Teleport 15 times using PortalsPortals will be marked with circular icons on the map. Walk up to it to teleport to a random location. Supportive Gesture Charm
Pilot the Flying ShipmentYou’ll see a floating island when you’re dropping into the match. Parachute to it and find the controls for the island. Flying Bullet Charm
Cloud WatchingComplete all eight event challenges (the ones above).Cloud Watching Mastery

When dropping into the Hellspawn map, you’ll notice two stand-out features added to Warzone. The first is the skull meter on your screen’s left side, known as the ‘Torment Level.’ This meter fills up as you get more kills, but be aware that it also makes you a target. Use the dome-like Safe Zone for cover and commend some players there while you’re at it.

You also don’t have to worry much about “winning” the game since that’s not the real goal here. Warzone Purgatory Island is a sandbox mode, so you can basically do whatever you want in its two-hour timeframe. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s dive into the challenges that need more of an explainer.

How to pilot Flying Shipment in Warzone Purgatory Island

Jump into the match to spot a Flying Shipment above the map. Use your parachute to reach it and try to avoid enemy gunfire (there will be a lot of that, unfortunately). You must look for a shipping container on top of two other crates and hop inside it to find a control device.

Once inside, take the helm via the skull, giving you control over Flying Shipment. Stir up some trouble with other players by moving it around, ultimately causing them to slide off into oblivion.

Where to find Mercenaries in Warzone Purgatory Island

Since there’s a lot of chaos going on in Purgatory Island, it’ll take a lot of work to locate anything. Fortunately, the Mercenaries are pretty easy to spot, as they will be marked by white diamond-shaped icons on the map. They’ll look like any other Operator, typically wearing protective armor.

Mercenaries often spawn in groups, especially if there’s a helicopter coming down. Grab a vehicle or find a Terriball to eliminate them for the Warzone Purgatory Island challenge.

Where to find Portals in Warzone Purgatory Island

Look at your Tac-Map to note down portal locations with their distinct icons. You’ll see a giant orb there when close by, allowing you to teleport. Simply walk through it to transfer to a random location.

Teleport 15 times to satisfy the Purgatory Island challenge. You’ll find many more portals as you play, so just keep going through them.
