The Wild

Learn how to navigate the challenging 'The Wild' side areas in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Discover secrets and collect treasure without getting killed.

Alright, so 'The Wild' is a pretty cool new feature in Black Ops Cold War. Think of it less like a standard arena level and more like a classic arcade gauntlet. Your main goal here is to find the exit while grabbing as much treasure as you can, all without dying. It’s a great way to find some hidden secrets!

Here are a few key things to remember about these Wild levels:

• The Wild is actually one massive, interconnected area. You can explore it pretty much from start to finish, though the area after round 60 is off-limits.
• Some portals you encounter will be mandatory to progress, while others are optional detours.
• Don't stress about killing every single zombie. As long as you reach an exit point, you're good to go.
• Keep an eye out for larger, more detailed bonus rooms within The Wild. These offer more time and better loot.
• A heads-up: if you get the 'Room of Fate' from The Wild after round 4, you won't be able to re-enter The Wild until after round 60.

The Wild levels are broken down by when you can access them:

• Between rounds 4-5
• Before the Room of Fate
• Between rounds 36-37 (This one is optional!)
• Between rounds 60-61

Note: This area is huge, so this guide will cover it in sections. I'll make sure to point out how different parts connect. We're aiming to add a full map section later, but for now, it's all text with a few pictures.
