Who are the Black Ops 6 Operators? While the Gulf War may be the setting for the latest Call of Duty game, there’s domestic conflict bubbling away. In Black Ops 6 there are two opposing factions of elite operatives: the Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One. The former will be familiar to returning Black Ops players, and the latter are the CIA team assigned to bring our heroes down.
All 21 Black Ops 6 launch Operators are divided into these factions, and the FPS game’s roster of characters will only continue to grow. While some Operators are available as soon as you boot up Black Ops 6, others are tied to player progression, campaign rewards, or as purchasable skins in the store. To find out who’s in each faction, as well as how to unlock Black Ops 6 Operators, read on.
Black Ops 6 Operators
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has 21 Operators at launch, but not all of them are available right away. Here’s a complete rundown of said factions, as well as a full list of Operators belonging to each.
Rogue Black Ops
Featuring the likes of Adler, Park, and Woods, the Rogue Black Ops faction consists of ex-CIA operatives seeking the truth behind the infiltration of their former employer. Now on the run, the team keeps itself stocked up on ammo by tapping shady contacts and aligning themselves with former foes.
The Rogue Black Ops Operators are:
- Adler
- Alvarez
- Bayan
- Marshall
- Maya
- Nazir
- Park
- Payne
- Weaver
- Westpoint
- Woods
Crimson One
After the CIA was infiltrated, it’s unsurprising that the good guys are now the bad guys. Crimson One is a well-drilled team of Black Ops elites led by Jackson Caine that has one not-so-simple task – make the heads of the Rogue Black Ops team roll.
The Crimson One Operators are:
- Bailey
- Brutus
- Caine
- Carver
- Grey
- Klaus
- Niran
- Rossi
- Stone
- Toro
