Are you ready to take on the Call of Duty Cold War Dark Ops challenges? These special challenges only reveal themselves once you’ve begun unlocking them – unless you’re aware of the challenges beforehand, it’s unlikely you’ll ever stumble across them. Fortunately, we’ve assembled a list of all the known Dark Ops challenges to make your life much easier.

The Dark Ops challenges can be found in all three of Cold War’s game modes: campaign, multiplayer, and zombies. In addition to being tricky to find, some of these challenges are extremely difficult, even if you’re really good at the game. A great loadout is key to some of these Dark Ops multiplayer challenges, so we’d recommend checking out our Krig 6 and Gallo SA12 guides to get ahead of the competition.

Completing the Dark Ops challenges will reward you with a calling card and some experience (excluding the campaign). If you manage to complete all the Dark Ops challenges in each of the game modes, you’ll be rewarded with an animated calling card. Not only will you get a rare calling card that many people don’t have, the bragging rights alone make the accomplishment worthwhile.
