The highly requested feature tasks players with completing three different tasks each day. Like the reserve challenge system in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, players will be able to select which challenges they prefer, choosing objectives that suit their play style. The challenges range from securing a certain number of care packages to racking up a set kill count in a specific game mode like Fireteam Dirty Bomb, giving players variety in their daily objectives.

Treyarch announced the daily challenge news via a Tweet last night, confirming a few new additions that accompany the system’s arrival. In place of the “Raid the Mall” playlist, Raid 24/7 has been added, letting players enjoy the remastered Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 classic whenever they want. A 3v3 mode called Faceoff was also added to the game, letting slightly larger teams do battle on Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s gunfight maps. Nuketown 24/7 remains in the rotation, giving players another place to grind out their daily challenges.
Double Battle Pass XP is live in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, letting players move through the 100 Pass tiers a bit faster until the event ends on December 28. While there is plenty of variety in the pass rewards, the same cannot be said for the daily challenges. Unlike Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s daily challenge system where a variety of items could be obtained, players will only be able to get XP from these new daily challenges.
This could change in the future, as there is plenty of potential for the challenges to grant players cosmetic rewards such as calling cards, emblems, and reticles. If Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War introduces an Elixir or Gobblegum system to Zombies, the survival mode’s daily challenges may offer the currency needed to craft the special buffs — just like they did in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. For now, though, Call of Duty Zombies fans and multiplayer users alike will only be getting XP from their daily tasks.
Regardless of whether the reward variety expands in the future, three extra bursts of XP every 24 hours is still a positive addition. With the challenges keeping their progress even when swapped out, the system should help Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players cope with the rumored nerf to XP.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
