The Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone is one of the most challenging skins to acquire. Although Call of Duty has detailed how players can get their hands on it, only a handful have been successfully able to do so. For those unaware, it is an Operator skin that can be unlocked in the Return to Verdansk event. All that users need to do is open safes across Verdansk to acquire it. So, what makes it that difficult?

Simply put, it's completely random. There's no guarantee that you will unlock after you have opened a safe. Some players can get it on their first try, and others might not even obtain it after they have been through 100s of safes. In fact, players have raised concerns regarding its rarity, forcing developers to increase its drop rate. But it still remains a rare item.

So, what's the best way to have the odds in your favor? Simple, open a ton of safes in the game as quickly as possible. While this isn't a guarantee, it will improve your chances of getting the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone.

Hence, in this guide, we'll take a closer look at a simple strategy through which you can drastically improve your chances of unlocking the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone.

Unlocking the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone quickly

To unlock the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone quickly, you must use the right strategy. There are only two things you need to keep in mind. First, you must make sure that you are playing in Quads. Second, you must play the game mode Plunder.

Now, you might wonder how playing in Quads and Plunder helps. In the Return to Verdansk event, if you play in a squad, any time someone opens a safe and earns a reward, it is awarded to all the players on that team.

Hence, if you play in Quads, you can increase your coverage area by letting different team members approach different regions on the map simultaneously and unlock as many safes as possible.

As for Plunder, you get infinite respawns. You don't have to worry about the Gulag or getting eliminated from the match. Simply go on opening safes and do not worry about getting killed. Even if you do die, you will be respawned automatically, which allows you to continue your search without issues.

That's it. If you marry Quads with Plunder, you have the right strategy to tackle the challenge. If even one team member happens to be lucky and opens a safe containing the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone, it will be awarded to all team members.

Although you can complete it solo, playing in Quads will increase your chances of getting your hands on the skin as there are a lot of safes across Verdansk, and if a player from another team gets to it before you, that safe can't be opened again for the duration of the match.

That said, it is still a rare drop and is luck-based. Moreover, since it's a limited-time event, you won't have forever to grab the skin. Hence, if you really like the skin, it's highly recommended to get started with the grind right now.

That covers everything you need to know about getting your hands on the Trail Blazer Operator skin in Warzone.
