Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Beta: All Dark Ops Challenges and Rewards Here’s how to unlock both hidden Dark Ops challenges before the beta ends on October 8, 2025

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta has officially brought back one of the franchise’s most exciting features — Dark Ops challenges. These hidden objectives reward players for completing secret in-game feats that aren’t listed in the menus until you accomplish them.

There are only two Dark Ops challenges in the Black Ops 7 beta, but both offer exclusive Calling Cards you can earn before the beta ends on October 8, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT.

💀 What Are Dark Ops Challenges?

Dark Ops challenges are special achievements that don’t appear in your challenge tracker. Instead, they remain hidden until you meet their unique requirements. Once completed, the challenge is revealed — and you’ll immediately earn a one-of-a-kind reward.

These beta-exclusive Dark Ops missions can only be completed during this testing phase, so if you want to grab the Calling Cards tied to them, you’ll need to move fast.

🧨 How to Complete the Dark Ops Challenges

There are two Dark Ops challenges available — one tied to Multiplayer and the other to Zombies. Here’s how to complete each one before the beta concludes.

⚔️ Multiplayer Dark Ops Challenge

Objective: Get 1,000 eliminations in Multiplayer during the beta.
Reward: Best of the First Calling Card

This challenge is straightforward but requires consistency. Focus on playing objective modes like Domination or Hardpoint to maximize engagements and rack up eliminations efficiently.

🧟 Zombies Dark Ops Challenge

Objective: Reach Round 50 in a single Zombies survival match.
Reward: Tip of the Spear Calling Card

This one’s all about endurance. You’ll need to survive wave after wave of undead, so stock up on perks, upgrade your weapon through the Pack-a-Punch machine, and coordinate with your squad to keep the rounds going.

🧠 Final Thoughts

The limited-time Dark Ops challenges are a great way to flex your skills and earn unique Calling Cards before launch. Whether you’re slaying zombies or racking up kills in multiplayer, make sure to complete these before the beta window closes.
