How to unlock all operators in Call of Duty: Warzone

You may only be able to see the hands of your character while you’re playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Warzone, but most of the time, your face will be the last thing your opponents will see before you send them back to the main menu.

Operators are what Modern Warfare calls its playable characters, and each of them comes with customizable finishers, challenges, and cosmetic options. Each new battle pass season introduces new operators or extra customization options for the existing ones, making unlocking them quite a rewarding process.

Changing the way you look will undoubtedly be refreshing both for you and your squadmates. While unlocking the Default operators will be quite straightforward, some will test your mettle while others will be locked behind paywalls. It may even be too late to get your hands on some of them as there have been seasonal operators that were only available for purchase during their respective battle pass seasons, but they also return to the in-game store inside bundles on rare occasions.

Each operator is a member of one of the two main factions in Modern Warfare, Coalition, and Allegiance. Both main factions have sub-factions of their own, each referencing an elite task force. These task forces include members from all over the world, meaning the voice acting will also be different when it comes to accents.
