BLACK OP MASTER
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Complete the whole campaign on Hardened or Veteran. Veteran is the platinum's biggest ask — enemies are lethal and grenades constantly flush you out of cover.
Pro tips
- Move cover-to-cover and let squadmates soak fire.
- Throw your own grenades to break up groups before they pin you.
- Learn each ambush after it kills you — checkpoints are frequent, so it's about memorising the tough rooms.
- The five mission-group silvers below all unlock during this single Veteran run.

Clear these three missions on Veteran. Vorkuta's crowd-control sections and Executive Order's open rocket-facility fights are the tough spots — lean on cover and grenades and pace the on-rails escapes.

Down and Dirty
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Clear SOG and The Defector on Veteran. Khe Sanh's trench defence and Hue City's street fighting punish any exposure — use the mounted guns and air/rocket support, and only push when the area's clear.

Clear these three on Veteran. Numbers' rooftop chase and Victor Charlie's tunnels are brutal at close range — pie every corner and let the tunnels funnel enemies to you one at a time.

Not Today
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Clear Crash Site, WMD and Payback on Veteran. WMD's stealth approach and Payback's on-foot compound assault are the hard parts — be patient on the sniper overwatch and use rockets and the flamethrower to thin groups fast.

Burn Notice
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Clear the final two missions on Veteran. Rebirth's gas and lab fights plus Redemption's boat-deck finale are intense — keep moving through the gas, use the Valkyrie and turrets, and don't rush the last stand.
