What are Black Sites in Warzone 2?
Black Sites are areas in Warzone 2’s Al Mazrah that are more dangerous than a Stronghold, giving players who clear them out even more valuable in-game items such as the Redeploy Pack and their loadout.
They contain stronger AI that will look to take you out at all costs, making them high-risk but high-reward endeavors.
How to get Black Site Key in Warzone 2
Getting your hands on a Black Site Key in Warzone 2 requires you to be the first to defeat all of the AI in a Stronghold and defuse the bomb.
Completing a Stronghold grants the Black Site Key which is used to open one of these more dangerous areas. If you arrive at a Stronghold after another team has cleared it out then you won’t be able to get a Black Site key, but you’ll be able to grab some loot and your loadout.

How to open Black Sites in Warzone 2
Simply, use the Black Site key that you obtained from the Stronghold and open the Black Site like you would a normal Stronghold building in Warzone 2. Once you’ve picked up the Black Site Key, the Black Site will be marked on the map.
Once you arrive, expect to contend with some high-tier AI as well as real players who are looking to grab your plunder once you leave the Black Site. Not only that, but a Juggernaut is likely to step into your path as well.
