Rainmaker Fortress and Location

Raaha Island - Tile H8

Warlord Rainmaker is located inside Rainmaker's Fortress on Raaha Island (Tile H8), just southeast of Shahin Manor. You will need a Fortress Keycard - Rainmaker to enter, which you can get from clearing out Mercenary Strongholds.

Warlord Rotation Now Active

Because there are multiple Warlords on the map, there is a rotation of what Fortresses are active in a given game. When all Warlord Fortresses are active, then it'll depend on RNG on which Warlord Fortress will appear when you log into a game.

When a new Warlord is added, that Fortress is the only Warlord Location active for about a week before it then becomes a randomized pool of which Warlord spawns in your game.

How to Beat Rainmaker Warlord

How to Beat Warlord Rainmaker
Eliminate Anti-Tank Personnel Destroy Traps Inside the Fortress Focus on the Warlord After Disabling Traps

Eliminate Anti-Tank Personnel

Deal with the Anti-Tank personnel first as they will launch mortar rounds and fire rockets at you upon stepping foot on the island. Most of the mortar crew and rocket launcher soldiers are at the roof of the fortress, so make sure you take them out as soon as possible.

There is also a mortar crew on a helipad just southwest of the island. We highly suggest killing these guys first and using the cover around the helipad to snipe out enemy personnel on the fortress's roof.

Destroy Traps Inside the Fortress

Once you enter the Rainmaker Fortress, there will be tripwires, mines, and sentry turrets sprawled all over the place. You can disable these traps by firing at them.

Disabling the traps is your highest priority as they can be a nuisance when fighting the Rainmaker.

Focus on the Warlord After Disabling Traps

After disabling all traps and destroying the sentry guns, it's time to defeat the Rainmaker. The mechanics for this warlord isn't all too difficult since he'll just run around different rooms in the fortress. You can simply chase him down and use your strongest weapon to kill him.
