Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel locations: Where to find Verdansk Bank, Bunker 1 locations

Where to find all of the 10th Intel locations in Modern Warfare: Warzone.

Warzone's Tighten the Noose Intel Missions are set of objectives within Modern Warfare's battle royale mode.

Released towards the end of Season 6, these have you find items on the map while playing matches by following a series of clues.

Completing each one rewards you with XP - giving you a boost towards completing your current Battle Pass.


Currently, as of Warzone Season 4, you can no longer complete this activity. If you're looking for more help, check out our on-going best Warzone weapons page and the Vanguard Royale meta.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel Missions and their locations

The following 'Tighten the Noose' Challenges went live on October 14th, 2020.

Similar to the previous Fractured Intel, Hunting the Enemy, Hidden Cargo, New Perspectives, The Lost Team, Old Wounds and Sins of the Father, New Threats and Secret Trails locations, each Intel step must be completed in sequence.

You can find it within the Challenges area of the Warzone menu, then tab to the end to find these objectives:

Remember these need to be done in Warzone matches - any will do, whether that's regular Battle Royale, Plunder and so on. If you're struggling to grab certain items because the areas are heavily populated - the Intel locations are the same for everyone, after all - then try landing near the location and give it a few minutes before moving in.

Alternatively, play until you enter the Gulag and use that second match appearance to pay a visit (assuming you win, of course).

Also, you can only complete one Intel per match. So continue playing, purposely lose or simply quit out to start another match and the next objective.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 1: Find the location in the message Ghost sent you

For the first Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "Find the location in the message Ghost sent you" and the following image for 2500 XP:

To complete this, head to the Dam, specifically the tunnel to the west.

You'll want to land above the tunnel, and onto the snow-covered cliff above.

Above the east-most tunnel is a tree stump, as shown in the intel image. Search this to get the first piece of intel.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 2: ARM 3-1 left a code

For the next Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "ARM 3-1 left a code..." and the following image for 5000 XP:

To complete this, head to the squiggly path just east of the TV Station. You want to go to the isolated building to the south-west, that lies to the south of the road.

Approach the side door and use the key pad.

Enter the code shown in the intel image - 27495810 - to open the door.

Inside is some useful loot, as well as the intel at the desk.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 3: Intel was leaked from Verdansk Bank

For the next Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "Intel was leaked from Verdansk Bank..." and the following image for 5000 XP:

To complete this, head to Downtown. As the clue suggests, you need to head to the bank - which is just south of the tallest building in Downtown.

You know you're in the right place as it'll have a green logo on the building (which is facing south-west) as well as some ATMs to the side of the entrance.

Inside, turn right, and head into the office ahead. The intel will be visible on the desk.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 4: Active measures fueled the conflict

For the next Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "Active measures fueled the conflict..." and the following image for 5000 XP:

To complete this, head to Downtown again - this time to city hall. This is the large, domed building with the columns out the front right in the middle of the Downtown location, and just north of the bank we just visited.

It's these columns you'll need to head to, as between them and in front of the building are a few temporary structures.

Inside one of these is the intel location.

Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 5: The team as ambushed at the train station

For the next Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "The team as ambushed at the train station..." (was assume 'as' is meant to be 'was') and the following image for 5000 XP:

To complete this, head to the train station as suggested. Just to the south-east of the main station terminal is a cluster of structures - head there.

In the middle of them all is a burning vehicle. This is where the intel is located - get close and investigate it to complete this step.


Warzone Season 5 is almost here! If you want to learn more about firepower from previously, we explain the best Welgun loadout, best Cooper Carbine loadout, best Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle loadout, best STG44 loadout, best MP40 loadout, best Automaton loadout, best BAR loadout, best Combat Shotgun loadout, best Type 100 loadout, and best Kar98k loadouts.


Warzone Tighten the Noose Intel location 6: The team was on their way to a bunker

For the final Tighten the Noose objective, you are given the clue "The team was on their way to a bunker..." and the following image for 5000 XP:

To complete this, head to Bunker 1. This is located in the south-west of Boneyard, and is the only structure west of the road - so should be easy to spot from afar.

Once there, go inside, and to open the second door, enter the Bunker 1 code as shown in the intel image - 97264138. (It starts with a 9, not a 4, despite what the image looks like!)

Once inside, immediately turn right, and grab the intel from the corner.

If you're struggling with this step - bunkers are amongst the most popular areas of the map for players to visit - then it might be worth waiting outside the bunker for a short while until the coast is clear.

Once done, the final objective is already complete - offering the blurb 'It was all part of the plan', and the following image:

Hope you enjoyed the storyline and the XP which comes with it!
