In battle royale matches, three different strongholds will be activated around the map. You and your squad can choose to infiltrate the building and eliminate all AI enemies within it.

Simply follow the wire-cutter icon to find out the location of the bomb. Upon doing it, you will receive a Black Site key and your custom loadout.
