Key Takeaways
- There are over 20 operators in Black Ops 6.
- The factions are Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One.
- Some operators are available immediately.
- The Vault Edition of the game unlocks all operators.
- Pre-ordering unlocks additional skins for Woods.
Black Ops 6 Operators at Launch
Before you jump into Black Ops 6 gameplay, here’s how you can unlock all of the initial operators. We’ve ordered them based on faction, then those available immediately, those who require a specific level, and then the operators with other requirements.
Keep in mind that the Vault Edition will offer the most access. But if you’ve not pre-ordered that edition, or you’re taking the Black Ops 6 Game Pass route, Vault Edition is available as a digital-only upgrade on all platforms.
