The much-anticipated release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is almost upon us, and players are getting behind the scenes looks in Warzone after the RC-XD was added into the Training Mode.

The RC-XD kill streak has been a part of the CoD franchise since Black Ops 1, and was introduced in Warzone following the Nov. 9 patch. The sneaky part is that there was no mention of this addition by the developers in the patch notes.

As of now, the only way to utilize the item is through the game's Training Mode via a contract that is not out in the game's live modes.

New Warzone Contract Adds RC-XD From Black Ops Cold War

In the training mode, a new contract called Detection was added into Warzone. It is one of the easiest contracts to complete in the game right now and we are going to break down how you can complete each step and get the RC-XD.

  • Find the contract icon on the map, it will have a radioactive-like symbol and then accept it.
  • Hold down the tactical item button, which will be deploy a heartbeat-like sensor.
  • Follow the dot on the senor until you find the Special Radioactive Cache.
  • Open the Cache and inside you will receive the RC-XD.

Players can speed boost, jump, and detonate like always, and it is even the exact model discovered in the multiplayer. However, the detonation is slightly different from what we are used to. Instead of a singular, large explosion, the bomb will explode and release poison gas which will disorient and damage opponents.

We expected different items from Black Ops Cold War to creep into Warzone, and it will be interesting to see what else the developers have in store. The scheduled date for the BOCW and Warzone integration is Dec. 10, and so it is likely players will have to wait until then for the full list of items.
