With the inclusion of Outbreak in Cold War Season Two, there's a new Dark Ops Challenge to be completed. So, we've put together a short guide on how exactly to complete it! If you haven't jumped into the new Zombies experience yet, check out the official trailer below. If you're struggling with any other challenges, be sure to check out our other Call of Duty content.

New Outbreak Mode

With the launch of Season Two in Cold War, a brand new Zombies experience was introduced. Outbreak is a massive scale mode that requires squads of up to four Operators to work together to complete the mission. Outbreak is also connected to the Dark Aether story, for those that follow the story of Call of Duty Zombies, and don't just jump in to kill some undead Nazis.

The objective for the four operators is to explore designated regions in the Outbreak zone, which is located around the Ural Mountains. Players must assist the Requiem division to complete their objectives. Once each experiment is completed, operators must either successfully exfiltrate the area or face even deadlier encounters. Enter the Dark Aether rifts to teleport to other regions and assist with even more objectives and Zombie chaos.

How To Complete Outbreak Dark Ops Challenge

For this challenge, players must complete ten objectives and exfil in a single game. This can be done solo, or in a group with up to three other players. Of course, if you choose to do the challenge solo, expect it to be difficult.

Essentially, players must complete ten rounds of Outbreak and then successfully exfil. How you choose to do this is the important part.

Obtaining The D.I.E Shockwave Wonder Weapon

If you're attempting this challenge solo, you'll want some powerful weapons in your arsenal. I'd suggest obtaining the D.I.E Shockwave Wonder Weapon, you can get this weapon two different ways. The first way is through sheer luck, and obtaining the weapon through the loot crates. The second, complete four main objectives and reach round four, you'll then notice Megaton Zombies spawning. If you're able to take out some of these Megaton Zombies, they have a chance of dropping the D.I.E Wonder Weapon.

Finishing The Challenge

Once you've completed ten main objectives and survived ten rounds, head to the beacon. Once you're there, instead of hitting teleport, hit exfil. You'll then be required to clear the hostile Zombies from the exfil site, once you've done that and escaped successfully, the challenge is completed!

Season Two Double XP

Activision has announced that to celebrate the launch of Season Two, players will be given Double XP between February 26, 10AM PT and March 1, 10AM PT.

This not only includes Double XP, but Double Weapon XP too!
