ActivisionThe Verdansk Stadium roof finally opens in Warzone Season 5, but you’ll need to complete a few steps before you can access the new-look interior.
When Verdansk made its long-awaited return in Season 3, it brought some much-needed life back to Warzone. However, it wasn’t the same version of the iconic map that had been removed all the way back in 2021.
Instead, fans have been playing on the original Verdansk in recent seasons, meaning that the Train Station was unavailable and, crucially, the Stadium was closed.
That all changes in Season 5, as the Stadium roof is set to be blown off once again, only this time it’s up to the players to do it. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to complete Stadium roof Easter egg in Warzone
To blow up the Stadium roof on Verdansk, players need to complete the Satellite Hijack Contract. However, it’s enough for just one team to do it, as “multiple” squads need to do it in the same match for the event to trigger.
This Contract is only available from Thursday, August 7, until August 14 in both regular and Casual battle royale matches. After this date, the Contract will be removed, and the Stadium roof will remain open permanently.
ActivisionSatellite Hijack Contract explained
The Satellite Hijack Contract is a multi-step objective that you will be able to find at the start of a match. Here’s everything you need to do.
Find Orbital Strike Crate
To start the objective, you need head to an Orbital Strike Crate, which are marked as red dots on your map. Crack one open to claim the Contract, but make sure you don’t have nay others active, as this will prevent you from picking it up.
Investigate campsite
The first yellow marker will tell you to investigate a nearby campsite. Head over there and you’ll see a pile of gear that you can’t pick up, but can interact with.
Do this, and you’ll get a new challenge to loot a Decrypting Tool from an enemy player. Luckily, there isn’t a specific enemy to track down like a Bounty, so just find a kill any player and the object will drop for you to steal.

Next, a new yellow marker will take you to a relay module, where you’ll need to insert the Decrypting Tool. Once you’ve done this, a timer will appear, and it’s just a matter of fending off enemies until it runs out.
At the end, you’ll get a free Care Package and some extra cash as a small reward.
Wait and watch
Now comes the waiting game, as these steps need to be completed by six different teams for the live event to begin. So, grab a nice vantage point, hope your fellow players on the case, and wait for the fireworks to start.
Once enough teams have done the Contract and the Stadium is open, it will remain fully explorable for the remainder of the match. For the first week of Season 5, it will be closed again at the start of a new match and will remain so if not enough teams try to open it.
Rewards
The reward for finishing the Stadium Easter egg and blowing up the roof is the returning Enigma Blueprint for the CR-56 AMAX. This was also the reward for the EE in the original Verdansk, when players had to hunt down keycards.
However, you won’t get the reward right away, as you still have to go into the open Stadium and track down a Weapon Case. If you pick it up and hold it for 60 seconds, the Blueprint will be awarded to your entire squad for the remainder of the game, before being added to your Gunsmith once it’s ended.
The devs have also teased that there are “secondary objectives” hidden around the location, but it’s not clear right now what they are or if there are any rewards for completing them.
