Daily Challenges Have Arrived!

Daily Challenges are now live in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, as well as Double Battle Pass XP and our new Raid 24/7 and Face Off playlists! Details below:

Daily Challenges

Now available in Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, Daily Challenges provide new ways to earn XP bonuses by completing in-game objectives.

Head to the Challenges menu to receive three Daily Challenges every 24 hours, which can be swapped out with reserve Challenges at any time. Choose the Challenges that best suit your play style and complete them at your own pace without losing progress. Any Daily Challenge that you swap out will retain any earned progress and can be completed later.

Each Daily Challenge completed will grant you a healthy sum of bonus XP, so be sure to complete as many as possible to level up even faster on your journey to Prestige Master and beyond.

Double Battle Pass XP Through Dec. 28

This holiday season, we’re giving everyone the gift of Double Battle Pass XP through 10AM PT December 28th, so you can unlock twice as many Battle Pass rewards throughout the holidays.

Simply play Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer and Zombies to double your Battle Pass progress. And starting December 25th, Warzone gets in on the action with Double Battle Pass XP running until 10AM PT Dec. 28th for both games!

New Featured Playlists: Raid 24/7 and Face Off (3v3)

Starting today, we’re bringing two new featured playlists to Black Ops Cold War: Raid 24/7 and Face Off!

Raid 24/7 is self-explanatory: it’s all Raid, all the time. Get ready for match after match of the Black Ops II classic, featuring TDM, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint. Hardcore Raid 24/7 is also available via Quick Play, featuring Hardcore TDM, Domination, and Kill Confirmed. Multiplayer Free Access players can check out Raid 24/7 until Dec. 24th, as well. Check out our updated Free Access playlists in the patch notes below.

If you’re ready for some serious close-quarters action, grab two friends and jump into Face Off to play 3v3 matches of TDM, Domination, and Kill Confirmed on all four of our new Gunfight maps: Game Show, ICBM, U-Bahn, and KGB. 

Face Off has a unique set of rules: Scorestreaks are disabled, capture times are quicker in Domination, and time limits and score limits are shorter to keep things fast and frenetic. Hardcore Face Off is also available via Quick Play, so anyone can get in on the action. Check out Face Off with your friends and let us know what you think!

Happy Holidays from Treyarch

From our family to yours, we hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season, wherever you are in the world. After such an unconventional year, it’s safe to say we can all use a little rest, relaxation, and... red-nosed zombie dogs? Sure.
