Let’s break it down:

The first set of instant rewards is available to all players.
The second set of instant rewards is exclusively for players who played on the original Verdansk or Verdansk ’84 with their current Activision ID. The game verifies this and automatically grants these rewards when you launch the game — no extra steps are required.

Zone Rewards

The aforementioned Zone Rewards can be earned by playing the following modes:

Battle Royale
Battle Royale Casual
Plunder

The Verdansk map is specially restructured for this Return to Verdansk event, featuring 12 separate zones, each containing one or two major POIs and a few minor ones. To earn the Zone Rewards, you must:

Choose a zone and explore it for Hidden Safes.
Open as many Hidden Safes as possible. Note that each safe can only be opened once. After that, it will be marked with an explosive indicator on the map, visible to all players.

Each Hidden Safe can contain one of three possible rewards:

Supply Loot - Regular in-game loot
Zone Reward - Each zone offers a specific Zone Reward that you have a chance to get by opening Hidden Safes in that region. For instance, the “Let’s Plan Something!” Loading Screen is assigned to the Dam POI. When you get a Zone Reward, your teammates receive it as well.
Special Reward - A rare item (details currently unknown).

Mastery Reward

To unlock the Kali Sticks, you must collect all 12 Zone Rewards by opening Hidden Safes.

Special Reward

The "Trail Blazer" Operator skin is part of the Hidden Safe system, but the exact method to obtain it remains unknown. It is expected to involve a challenging task.

The Return to Verdansk event will conclude on April 15, 2025.
