CoD: Black Ops Cold War Dark Ops Challenges are once again part of the newest Call of Duty game, after the previous CoD didn’t have them. We’ll show you all 32 Challenges that need to be completed in order to really finish the game.
The special part about Dark Ops Challenges is that you never know what they are until you’ve finished them. While that does make it more interesting, it simultaneously makes it ten times harder. You can spend hours upon hours in this game and do countless things to try and finish all these challenges, but unless you know what you have to do – at least in some form – that might take you a very long time.
So, let's brief you on what the challenges are and how to complete them!
