BlackCell owners can unlock the hidden Season 5 Dark Ops rewards by completing just one eligible challenge: the End Game, Zombies, or Warzone/Multiplayer objective.
The Season 5 BlackCell Dark Ops rewards are hidden behind mode-specific objectives, but the unlock is simpler than it first sounds. You need to own Season 5 BlackCell, then finish one of the three available routes to trigger the reward pop-up.

Season 5 BlackCell Dark Ops requirements and rewards
| Reward | Item |
|---|---|
| Operator skin | Hex/Hicks |
| Mastercraft blueprint | Premise for the Sturmwolf SMG |
| Melee blueprint | Zero Code for the Executioner’s Duet |
KEY!Buying Season 5 BlackCell is the gate. After that, you only need one eligible completion, so do not waste time clearing all three mode challenges unless you want to do them for your own record.
One naming wrinkle: the challenge is being searched as the Hex operator skin, while the in-game reward callout in the available material names it as Hicks. Treat the reward as the same hidden BlackCell operator skin until the menu name on your account settles it.
End Game, Zombies, and Warzone/Multiplayer challenge routes
| Mode | Challenge |
|---|---|
| End Game | Get 150 kills in Zone 4 in one match while solo and below combat rating 30. |
| Zombies | Complete any main quest in Cursed Mode with Focusing Stone, Blood Vial, Rocket, and Vril Spear relics active. |
| Warzone/Multiplayer | Get five kills without taking damage, dying, or using streaks. |
Try Lockdown Casuals first if you are comfortable chaining five clean kills, then switch to the Blood Burner End Game route if the casual-mode completion does not pop on your account.
Blood Burner setup for the End Game challenge
How to get 150 Tier 4 kills in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
This route uses Blood Burner to farm the End Game objective in one solo match before your operator reaches combat rating 30.
STEP 1/7
Equip Blood Burner
Put the Blood Burner ability on a fresh combat rating 0 operator.
STEP 2/7
Queue solo
Search for an End Game match while solo so the challenge condition stays valid.
STEP 3/7
Head to Zone 4
Move into the Tier 4 red area of the map.
STEP 4/7
Run over zombies
Use Blood Burner to drive through zombies and stack kills toward the 150 required.
STEP 5/7
Retreat during cooldown
When Blood Burner ends, back off and stay alive while it recharges.
STEP 6/7
Repeat the charge
Return to the zombie pack and run them over again after the ability is ready.
STEP 7/7
Finish 150 kills
Reach 150 Zone 4 kills in the same match to trigger the hidden BlackCell Dark Ops pop-up.

End Game Mode Burner route details
The important part of this method is starting clean. Use a fresh combat rating 0 operator, equip Blood Burner, and go in solo so the run lines up with the End Game requirement from the start.
Once you reach the Zone 4 red-tier area, Blood Burner does the heavy lifting. You will not get all 150 kills from one use, so the rhythm is simple: drive through zombies, retreat when the ability runs out, wait for the recharge, then push back into the same high-density area.
Finish the count in one match while staying below combat rating 30. If you level past that threshold before the kill count is done, the End Game route no longer matches the hidden challenge condition for that run.
Zombies Cursed Mode route
The Zombies option is for players who would rather clear a main quest than farm Zone 4 kills or chase a clean five-kill streak. Complete any main quest in Cursed Mode with all four required relics active: Focusing Stone, Blood Vial, Rocket, and Vril Spear.
Because that route depends on a full quest completion with specific relics active, it is less convenient as a quick unlock than Lockdown Casuals or the Blood Burner End Game method.
Reward pop-up and unlocked items
After the eligible challenge completes, the hidden BlackCell Dark Ops pop-up appears and grants the Season 5 reward set. The unlock bundle is the Hex/Hicks operator skin, the Premise Mastercraft blueprint for the Sturmwolf SMG, and the Zero Code blueprint for the Executioner’s Duet melee weapon.
