There is plenty of frustration going on right now forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayers. The year has already been off to a pretty rough start between different glitches, bugs, and gameplay issues. One of the biggest problems is how the unlock system works. Players are trying to playCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but the game is trying to make them playCall of Duty: Warzoneinstead.

The issue sounds slightly confusing for those who haven’t been up to date on the state ofCall of Duty.Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwas integrated intoWarzonea few weeks ago, adding weapons and Operators into the battle royale. Many players were initially upset at this as a whole, stating they would rather the games stay entirely separate. Now it seems a more specific frustration has bubbled to the surface regarding how Operators and skins are unlocked in the game.

Throughout mostCall of Dutygames, new skins for weapons or outfits for Operators are unlocked through different challenges in the game. This is mostly the same forCall of Duty:Black Ops Cold War, except the challenges are spread across two games now. Many challenges reach a tier that asks players to complete contracts orget kills inCall of Duty: Warzonein order to continue advancing theirBlack Ops Cold Warprogress.

For players who normally jump between the two games, this seems almost better than normal as progress can constantly be made. However, many fans are outraged that they can’t unlock everything in their team versus game modes until they complete tasks in the battle royale game. Many of these players don’t enjoy thegame type thatCall of Duty: Warzoneoffers, so these skins and outfits are nearly impossible to obtain.

This issue is coming off the heels of a large controversy surroundingCall of Duty:Black Ops Cold Warweapons, particularly theDMR 14, taking over the entireWarzonemeta. This gun was finally nerfed and gave way to other weapons being comfortably used once more. Hopefully a similar solution can be reached regarding these challenges and the players that feel like they should be able to stick to just one game if they choose to.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
