Containment Level is an Exfil streak system in Zombies that players can maintain and level up by doing the different contracts in Urzikstan and successfully exfil out.

It is a great system that rewards players consistent with their Zombies runs, as the levels are associated with tiered rewards that you can avail after reaching a certain tier and level.

That being said, if you fail to exfil out safely in a match, it will lower your Containment Level by one Tier instead of resetting it. Moreover, the the level you reach in the mode in Zombies is tied to Operators.

So if you reach a certain level in a particular Operator, if you select a different one, you will have to level your Containment Level again.

To earn Containment Levels fast, depending on your loadout and how well-versed you are in the game mode, you can either focus on grinding a high-tier contract or a low-tier one. 

You get one Containment Level for completing Tier 1 contracts, two for Tier 2, and three for completing Tier 3 contracts. So, if you don’t have a decent loadout, we recommend farming the Tier I zone Tierracts, as they are very easy to complete and much safer than the others.

On the other hand, if you are equipped with gold armor and the best weapons and perks, you can Pack A Punch your weapon to level 3 and farm the Tier III zone contracts.
