Players are tasked with Decrypting the floppy disc in COD: Black Ops Cold War. This guide will assist players on how to do so during the Operation Chaos mission. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the first entry in the series to allow cross-generational play, allowing players on Xbox and PlayStation to play with their past or future generation players. The campaign itself is full of secrets and puzzles to discover within each mission. Not only that, but the game allows players to alter the story with their decisions and create their own custom character. One of the secrets in the game involves decrypting a floppy disc. This guide will show how players can solve this puzzle.
In Call of Duty fashion, the action setpieces in the game are extremely over-the-top and thematic, as if the player were riding a rollercoaster. Taking place during the early 1980s, players will be taken to various key locations during the Cold War-like Turkey, East Berlin, and the Soviet KGB headquarters. While the multiplayer and the zombie mode is a big selling point for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players should take a look at the story for what it's worth. The campaign itself is pretty short, consisting of about 7-9 hours of action-packed content. Here's how players can decrypt the floppy disc in Operation Chaos.
How To Decrypt The Floppy Disc in COD: Black Ops Cold War
Players will need to find three different pieces of evidence for unlocking the Floppy Disc beforehand. Here's where to find it.
- Coded Message: Located in the Nowhere To Run mission. At the end of the mission, the player will need to threaten Quasim without killing him to get the evidence.
- Audio Reel: Located in the Brick in the Wall mission. Players can find an audio reel on a table inside of the warehouse. It will be right after freeing the informant.
- Observer: During the Redlight, Greenlight mission, players will find it on the front page of the Observer in the '80s bar.
Now that you have all the evidence, all that is left to decrypt the floppy disc. For starters, the player will need the passphrase. With the coded message, red and blue numbers will appear so sort out the missing numbers and put them together. This will reveal the name of the city that is the passphrase.
Now, look at the Observer clue to find a scrambled message on the front cover. Fixing it will reveal another cities location. Now, put these two together to get to code to decrypt the disc. This will complete the quest of Operation Chaos.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
