Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Trophies and Achievements revealed

Stop reading if you’re don’t want to see any minor spoilers ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s release next month…

Trophy/achievement tracking website Exophase has just gone live with the official PlayStation Trophies players will be able to earn in Black Ops 3. The Xbox One achievement list hasn’t yet been updated, but expect it to be the similar minus the lack of Gamerscore reward.

There are 48 trophies in total and if you’ve played previous Call of Duty titles, there won’t be a recognizable difference in format. Most of the trophies, as usual, relate to the game’s campaign mode. You’ll get a trophy for completing the campaign and individual missions on Hardened and Veteran difficulty, however, there also appears to be a new level called ‘Realistic’. Veteran has typically been the highest difficulty in Call of Duty campaigns, but this new level suggests that there will be a way for hardcore players to challenge themselves past the usual differences of increase enemy health and damage sustained. On top of these campaign trophies, there are also trophies for specific actions, such as killing 5 enemies from over 100m away. Surprisingly there doesn’t seem to be a direct reference to playing the campaign in co-op, but given that it’s been built for co-op play, we imagine the trophies work just as well whether playing solo or with 4 friends.

It wouldn’t be a Treyarch game without some Zombies achievements. There are 9 for the new Shadows of Evil map, all of which give us some further info on what we can expect. For example, there is an enemy type called Margwas and it seems likely that the ‘ritual’ achievement relates to the new Easter Egg. There’s also confirmation of a returning feature from the original Black Ops… Dead Ops Arcade! The top-down arcade-themed Zombies mode is back in Black Ops 3 and will again feature the silverback.

Last of all, there are four multiplayer trophies which relate to levelling up and utilizing the Specialist Weapons and Abilities.
