With 2025's Call of Duty release being a second Black Ops title in two years, we already have a feel for some of the in-game rewards and challenges to chase after.

Our Black Ops 7 review shows it mostly follows suit from previous titles, with a series of "Dark Ops" challenges, rewarding players with some of the harder to get Calling Cards upon completion. Dark Ops challenges aren't necessarily the hardest ones, but as their requirements are not listed in the game, it's a little more difficult to target them.

Disclaimer

As the Dark Ops challenges are a secret until they're unlocked, this is an evolving list. It began with the Black Ops 7 beta, and will be updated as new ones are found in the full release.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has three distinct game modes, all with their own Dark Ops challenges: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies.

The list below is broken out into those sections, though naturally, as the game has only just gone live in some regions as of November 13, it'll take a bit of time for folks to unlock them and reveal the challenges.

How to see your Black Ops 7 Dark Ops Calling Cards

When you complete a Dark Ops challenge, a message will pop up on the screen showing you which you achieved and a little peek at the Calling Card.

To see all of your Dark Ops challenge rewards, along with the rest of the Calling Cards you've earned in Black Ops 7, you need to head to the Barracks tab, and look under Customization.

Alternatively, you can use the quick menu in the lobby to go directly to the Challenges tab and see them from there.


Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on Xbox, PlayStation and PC on November 14, 2025. On Xbox it will support Play Anywhere, and additionally it will be available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
