Black Ops: Latest IntelNew Contracts!

Continuing our coverage of the features included in this week's game update, today we're talking about the 400+ new Contracts that have been added to the rotating list.

For those still unfamiliar with Contracts, they are in-game time-limited challenges that you purchase with COD Points. Fulfilling a Contract's requirement within the time limit earns you more COD Points and potentially XP! The riskier the Contract, the higher the payout. Contracts rotate in and out of the list over time, so there will always be new challenges to undertake.

Contracts are a great way to increase your currency intake and test your abilities. They have been a huge hit with the community, and since launch there have been a ton of requests to increase the number and variety available.

Over 400 New Contracts

Included with the game update are over 400 new Contracts, a fresh list guaranteed to challenge newcomers and veterans alike. These new Contracts come in varying difficulties, from “Ruthless,” fulfilled by earning 2 killstreak rewards, to “War Incarnate,” where you need to get 15 kills without dying.

A new batch of Specialist Contracts will focus on kills gained while using specific perks. They can be as basic as “The Magician,” where you need to get 80 kills using Sleight of Hand, or as specific as “The Detonator,” where you need to get 5 kills using C4 with the Flak Jacket.

Hardcore game mode fans will be excited to know that several types of Operations contracts now include Hardcore modes. Get rewarded for your dominance with Contracts such as “HC TDM Gladiator,” achieved when you finish in the top 3, three times, or “HC FFA Abomination,” achieved when you finish a match with a K/D ratio higher than 3:1.

We hope these new Contracts will further encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and try weapons and modes that you don't normally play. Each day brings a new set of Contracts to the table, so be sure to check in daily!
