Why Trust Techopedia

You want to get your Black Ops 6 operators in order, and this article will help you do just that. The new CoD title serves up 21 operators to start before DLCs and other specific deployments undoubtedly add more.

  • The factions are Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One.
  • Some operators are available immediately.
