Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brought back a fan-favorite feature, with players logging in to see challenges. These optional objectives are often considered a pivotal point of game completion and a point of pride for those who succeed. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War provides multiple categories of challenges, including Dark Operations.
Each challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War rewards players with a calling card to signify its completion. These calling cards are usually stylized based on the challenge itself giving it a unique feel in opposition to store-bought cards. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players should be prepared to take on difficult tasks while diving through the many in-game challenges.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Dark Ops challenges span across all three game modes. These are hidden challenges that only become revealed after being completed. Recently, CODTracker has posted a complete list of Dark Ops Challenges for players to complete in Multiplayer, Campaign, and Zombie game modes. Although the descriptions for some of these challenges are vague, it is at least a start for players to try and unlock all the varying calling card Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War rewards.
Multiplayer Challenges
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer challenges mainly revolve around players getting kills. References to rapid kills, kills without dying and creative kills drive the challenges. While survival and killstreaks are important, players should also keep a keen eye on the time between kills as rapid kills have a tight interval before being counted.
