Zombies Challenges / Calling Cards Spreadsheet

[Caspeyy]

Made a spreadsheet / checklist thing so i could just mark them off and check it mid game without save quitting. Figured id share it incase anyone else wants it too.
There are two versions, one that has an image of each calling card with the challenge and another without any images. The file with the images of the calling cards has more lag and is larger.

Apparently, playing in Directed mode DOES NOT get you the trophy collector skin. Way to alienate new players that are brand new to round based zombies.

Also, I have no friends and no matter how many times I try to ping quest obiectives, random players DGAF about helping out.

Such a huge disappointment that I have to be punished for my inexperience. I only played MW3 because I liked the freedom of open world. Round based is okay, I guess.

I won't be playing as much or as hard as before though. Knowing that I can either can play directed for subpar rewards or repeatedly fail in Standard in the .0000000000000001% chance I actually get it is such a killjoy.

Isnt that reward for completing the Terminis EE before directed mode had came out? I dont think you can get it anymore

I honestly don't know. I was under the impression you could get it for completing Terminus EE.

The only other Zombies mode I ever played was MW3 which was attractive because open world + play at my own pace + I had actual objectives.

I dunno whose bright idea it was to stick us on the tiniest maps with infinite respawn of all of everything while trying to do the most tedious of tedious tasks and call it "fun."

Then, they changed battlepass so I can't jump around and just get what I want. So yeah, this has been a bigger disappointment than Starfield. Luckily, I play it on Gamepass and I'm just playing Zombies just to play. I have tried these dumb easter eggs so many times - solo and with random squads but no such luck.

It doesn't help that the Prestige system relocks all of everything so guns I am actually okay with, I can't freaking use. This game is NOT friendly to casual players. Like at all. In any mode. I am slaughtered in multiplayer. I can kill zombies OR I can do quest. Trying to do both at the same time is so stupid.

Yea they had a note before you launched the maps that the ray gun skins and the operator were rewards for completing the easter eggs before directed mode was released.

One thing ill say is in the past directed mode normally wasnt even a thing, the game is meant to be played in Standard and the goal of zombies typically has been to see how high of a round you can get to. The easter eggs were always more of a side thing. I personally love all the challenges, it gives you a reason to play the gamemode more than 5 times.

If you want the good rewards, you should have to do a difficult challenge. Why would they give you the same reward for a less difficult challenge? With that logic applied to multiplayer, completing the gold challenge for one gun should give me dark matter.

Last the prestige system, has always been a thing since atleast the original MW. You get a token to permanently unlock an item of your choice once you enter prestige mode. Its again something to extend to life of the game for people, which i appreciate. If its too much dont enter prestige and be happy at no prestige 55.

kind of just sounds to me like you aren't very experienced with the past zombies or cod games in general.

There was one I played. I boarded up some windows and rode a train. It took me in a complete circle and I just left the mode.

The next one I tried, I was in a coliseum. Ran around in circlee for a few minutes, hoping some kind of something would show up - an objective or a clue - it did not so I just quit.

I played a few campaigns here and there.

Played tons of MWZ - I love the open world, the separate tiers and such.

BO6 came out on Gamepass so I thought I'd try it. Rounds get boring after a while. I thought Directed mode would be easier. It is but not by much.

I still keep getting ganged up on in the bowling alley. With double turrets and energy mine fully researched.

Not sure what skill is required for that one. I clear the round before I start. They just do not stop and then I get blasted with a mangler cannon.

I guess COD is one of those franchises that is just catering to veterans. That's my impression anyway.

It already is difficult. Besides that, the achievement, early access calling cards, etc. It just would be nice if it was more accessible for players that are actively trying but have no clue what they're doing wrong or how to improve.

I feel that. I’ve been struggling to keep track of everything too — especially with camo challenges and trying to stay on top of what’s done mid-game. I found this camo checklist the other day, and honestly, it’s been helping me stay a bit more organized:
Black Ops 6 Zombies Camo Checklist


Not a fix for all the balance stuff, but at least I don’t have to pause and scroll through menus constantly anymore. Might help some of y’all too.

Honestly, the issue isn’t that Zombies is for veterans, it’s that BO6 does a poor job of explaining its mechanics. The game expects you to already understand how training works, how to manage rounds, and how to control spawns, but it never properly teaches any of that.
