A new season means new unlockable operatives in COD: Black Ops Cold War. This guide will show players how they can unlock Antonov. Season 3 of the newest Call of Duty title is right around the corner, providing players with tons of free content to enjoy. This has been one of the most generous COD titles for free-to-play players as the game doesn't require players to purchase the battle pass to get in on all the big content. Battle pass owners do get access to exclusive skins, weapon blueprints, and emotes, but nothing that is too substantial to make the game feel unbalanced or pay-to-win. Since season 3's introduction is right around the corner, here is how players can unlock Antonov.
Operatives are essentially playable characters in COD: Black Ops Cold War. They might have been a part of the game's single-player campaign or have returned from a previous Call of Duty title. A big part of the new content for when newer seasons are introduced are the reintroductions to older maps. Areas like Terminal and Nuketown have been staples in the series for several entries now and season 3 plans to bring on more classic maps. Here is how players can unlock the new Antonov operative.
How To Unlock Operative Antonov in COD: Black Ops Cold War
A majority of the new operatives are unlocked exclusively by purchasing them in a COD Store Bundle. This is the same with the new operative Antonov. Typically, operative bundles come along with a variety of skins, weapon blueprints, and attachable niknaks for your weapons. Players will want to save up on their COD Points if they are interested in picking up Operative Antonov.
Although, as the season progresses, the rules often change. The game may adapt a way for players to unlock this character for free by completing a specific set of challenges like in the past. The bundle won't be available right at the beginning of the season as all the new content is rolled out invidiously as the season progresses.
Introducing old maps back into COD: Black Ops Cold War is a great way to add new content for free while catering to the player's nostalgia. There's something fantastic about being brutally murdered in the same place you were almost 10 years ago. Although, new maps are a great way for players to build new memories with this Call of Duty title. Maybe maps introduced in this game will return in another 10 years. Time surely flies.
COD: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
