How to Complete the “Death-Con Five” Gauntlet for Classified in Black Ops 4 Zombies

Here’s everything you need to know about the new Gauntlet mode on Classified, “Death-Con Five”

Just last month, Treyarch added a brand new game type to Call of Duty Zombies, Gauntlets. Launching on Voyage of Despair, then making its way to IX, the Classified Gauntlet is now available with Operation Grand Heist on PS4.

This challenge based mode takes players through 30 different waves with unique sets of rules for each. Another added element to Gauntlet is the timer which keeps track of how long each set of 10 rounds takes. This makes it great for competitive play and bragging to your friends.

The best tip for overcoming all 30 rounds is to know what the upcoming challenges will be so you can get ready for them. Remember, the round’s challenge will always be the same, so no matter when you play, round 4 will always be “Use the RK 7 Only.”

To be prepared, check out the list of all challenges on Death-Con Five:

1. Share the Health – Kill enemies to regenerate depleting health
