Challenges have been integral to theCall of Dutyexperience for years, andCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris no different. However, whileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas a lot of challenges to complete, players are taking issue with some objectives being tied directly toCall of Duty: Warzone.
This is not the first time thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans have called outtheseCall of Duty: Warzonechallenges. Back in December, players began to point out the issue, with several posts in January bringing up the issue once again. However, with nothing being done, players are once again beginning to call for change, as theCall of Duty: Warzone-exclusive challenges impact both Operator skin unlocks and seasonal challenge progress.

Twitter user @raevenzlol took to the social media platform to call out how this decision prevents some fans from unlocking skins forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s operators. Making the point that “Warzoneis nothing likeCW,” as both boast different engines and gameplay styles, the player questioning why the challenges are interlinked between the two games has a fair argument to make. Since completing every seasonal challenge is impossible without also playingCall of Duty: Warzone, the issue only seems to get worse.
WithCall of Duty: Warzone’s operator challengesalready being buggy, making skins for the latestBlack Opsgame’s operators only obtainable through an entirely separate battle royale title is a confusing choice. It is easy to see why fans feel that it is unfair to force players who only enjoyCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warto playCall of Duty: Warzoneas well. Players may not like battle royale games, lack the skill inside them to complete the challenges, or simply not have the storage space to keep both games on their console.
Redditors like TLucas123 have brought attention to the issue as well. Using a skin forthe popular character Parkas an example, the player calls for Treyarch to “stop puttingWarzonechallenges inCold War.” They then suggest a system that offers a different skin challenge for both games, which would surely satisfy fans of bothCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarandCall of Duty: Warzone. The post amassed thousands of upvotes and dozens of comments supporting this potential change, though Treyarch has not commented on the topic.
As of now, it remains to be seen if the community reaction is enough to warrant a change. WithCall of DutyZombies fansforced to play multiplayer to unlock different melee weapons and the Streetsweeper shotgun, though, this challenge issue clearly runs deep.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
