Ever wondered what the “classified” things are in the Dark Ops tab in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? These are your Dark Ops challenges, which are presented to every player to test their skills in the different modes of the game.
Completing these Dark Ops challenges grants you Calling Cards and a ton of XP as a reward. That is why most players are very interested in completing these challenges. The problem is that the game doesn’t tell you what you have to do to complete them.
Just doing random things hoping you can get one down isn’t a reliable method. Hence, we have compiled a list of all the Dark Ops Challenges in BO Cold War and given their completion requirements.
