These have been on the map since the arrival of the mode - though it’s only with the May 18th, 2020 update that players have been able to open them and discover (some of) their secrets.
This page explains Bunker locations, how to open them with Red Access Cards, and what you’ll find inside - as well as how to solve the mystery of Bunker 11.
Currently, as of Warzone Season 4, you can no longer complete this activity.

There are 12 Bunkers in total, primarily on the outskirts of the map, and some around certain key locations.
Here’s a map created by Lampy101 on reddit, showing where to find many of these secrets, including the bunker locations, in blue:
For example, perhaps one of the easiest to find is the Bunker outside of the Prison (found in the south-east of the map). The Bunker doors can be found just east of the location, set against a cliff face:
Since this prison Bunker is one of the most well known ones, expect a lot of players to be dropping here in future!
However, not all Bunker doors are out in the open. On the far western edge of the map, not far from the Junkyard, are two Bunkers next to one another, which require you to explore some concrete structures first:
Moving close to the keypad to the side of some - but not all - of these Bunkers can allow you to interact with them. If there is a green light by the door, it means you can access it. If that’s the case, then you’ll need an item named the Red Access Card to do this.
You can find them inside loot crates at random. Receiving a Red Access Card appears to be very rare - with the early theory that Legendary (red / orange) crates are more likely to feature them than more common variants.
You can also get a Red Access Card from players who have picked one up themselves - as you would with any other loot they have found during the match.
Whichever way you get a Red Access Card, stay alive and make your way to a Bunker location with a green light. Use it on the keypad, and you’ll be able to gain access to what’s inside…
Once you have found a Red Access Card, then that party member must investigate a Bunker with a green light and an interactive keypad. Doing so will open it.
Inside is a treasure trove of cash and high level loot, helping to upgrade your team’s loadout for the rest of the match.
This discovery doesn’t mean the end of the Bunker mystery, however, with a second door to be found inside. At the time of writing (May 19th, 2020) no one has figured out how to open these yet.
There is, however, one Bunker which is different to the rest - and it relates to the phones you can find across the map…
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.
These locations are randomised each match - and any progress your team makes will be reset if they wipe before you reach Bunker 11.
As well as high level loot caches as with other locations, Bunker 11 features a number of oddities found nowhere else on the map - including a mysterious server room, a button which reveals a nuclear warhead, and possibly exclusive MP7 Blueprints.
You can see footage of all of this from eColiEspresso on YouTube:
The nuke cannot be interacted with - yet - and ultimately could lead to something in a future update. Perhaps it’s teasing the next Season of the game, or even the next Call of Duty, which is a Black Ops reboot as confirmed by Eurogamer.
