Hey everyone! I hope this video helps you out! Just make sure you don't get zombies killed via "Critical Kills" or Explosive kills as that can deny you getting this challenge done. From all my testing I COULD NOT get a crit kill with my knife or combat axe during the actual rounds so it seems you are safe throughout the main rounds, just be mindful of the environmental zombies as their hitboxes are easier to get critical kills with! Like I mentioned in the vid, let me know if you've come across more ways that this challenged failed for you so that we can spread the word and help others get this challenge done! Thanks again for watching and I will catch you next week with more Zombies content :)
I've done it yesterday easy. Comb axt is a goat for this. Use aether shroud for killing the abomination or for sticky situation. Used nukes and all other power ups. I used jugg quick melee and stamina buyed armor pap and rarity. At the end I got 4 crit kills and still got stick and stones 😊PS good explanation buddy good guide
Thank you dude - yeah it seems they fixed the crit kill issue (I recorded this Tuesday, so like 5 days ago) and now it doesn't matter about crits, as long as it was with a melee kill - GG's on getting it done and thanks for the kind words :)
@@Jazza_Pluscrit kill issue been fixed for atleast a month and a half , this was by far the easiest challenge , did this and good enough simultaneously
@@DoubleRR2024i think the main issue was your use of a decoy. I‘ve just did it with the decoy equiped, but i didn‘t use any tactical in my run. Good luck fella
This helps, I'm going to try it after I level up machiato. A tip for doing the kunoichi dark ops...keep the bowling alley door closed on the PhD side...that way when you pop aether stroud they more contained and only run in one direction toward the vending machine.
I just completed a calling card challenge today. I got 6 critical somehow and mainly used tomahawks while avoiding instant kills and nukes. I bought all the perks except for PhD, and I also steered clear of all zombies around the map, like the groundskeeper and those sitting around or under cars.
Finished this 2nd try No Nukes No Environmental zombies killed. No car kills. Used perks other than melee machiato. Didn’t use field upgrades. Just rawdogged it and it worked the second time. Critical kills are fine
Just did this as of dec 23. I had a abomination accidentally kill two zombies and I also killed a mangler by hitting his arm off (it didn’t say melee kill). In spite of those two mess ups I still got it.
literally only been killing stuff and somehow got 2 random crits... no clue how as i was always aiming for lower body on horde and combat axing any crawlers
Had a Nuke drop in my lap at round 23 and killed a couple zombies, thought my run was done, but kept going just to see and Still got the calling card... glad i kept going, had Jug, mele and quick revive only. was using the Bat. Little more range then the knife!
got the card i used melee jug and speed with the augments and picked up the throwing axe and pick ups no nukes. With the speed the axe counts as equipment and makes you run faster after use. melee the drill. did not have to prone with the manglers counted if the arm blows up still.
It’s does work, just don’t use the special ability. Light sword is best since it refills some armor with each hit and have health augment on melee macchiato
Think mines bugged, I didn’t use nukes field upgrades or gobble gums and after round 25 my scoreboard said 0 critical kills and it didn’t pop, just used armor upgrades, pap and for perks jugg mm sc qr. idk what is wrong… also I checked around to see if any cars blew up and saw none
i just did this challenge and i picked up all power ups just avoid environmental kills and and lay down in prone while killing managers to avoid any critical kills

On my attempt yesterday,I killed a mangler and it didn’t say melee kill on round 23 so I saved and quit straight away and then reloaded it and it still let me complete the challenge
Can anyone confirm can u use mastercraft melee weapons or do we have to use standard knife i know its a stupid question but just want to make sure im doing everything right so i can get this dark ops challenge
I cannot confirm anything like that (coz I'm poor) but based on OTHER challenges bugging out because of that exact thing, I would just use basic versions of everything when doing challenges like this :)
Possible that Explosions dont stop the challenge because they are no crit kill? Am Not fast enough to kill manglers before they shot at min once and kill 6/7 Zombies with a car
everyone reads the challenge wrong. the description only says what u can kill with. you can buy all the perks that dont kill, like speed cola and stamina up
found one way to prevent a critical on normal zombies. Most of the time ( when I’m using the bat ) if you crack them in the head and it explodes they will still run around. If you hit them again before there health drains you’ll get a melee kill. If they bleed out it counts as critical. Seems to happen way less with knife.
It's also why I didn't feature the bat as it's more likely to get crits - Tbh, from other comments, I think they have fixed the crit issue but that is a really good way of avoiding it, if the crits are still bugging the challenge for others :)

Yeah it's worded a little weird so I completely understand - I believe they were just telling you what damaging items you can use as melee macchiato changes punching animation when holding a gun :)

@@dariusdafiggaif you killed a mangler by destroying their cannon but it doesn’t say critical kill does it still fail? I’m assuming that’s what went wrong with mine cause I did everything you listed except going prone and didn’t even use gobble gums field upgrades or nukes and finished the game with 0 critical kills and didn’t get it
It's written weirdly - It is meaning to kill with only melee, combat axe or melee perk - it's because the punching animation changes with guns when you buy it, so you ARE allowed to run around with a gun, as long as you're punching zombies with the perk active but that's only good until like round 7/8
Can I shoot a gun without hitting a zombie ? For shooting cars ? And I just had a aether shroud kill while teleporting forward… does this affect my run now :/
The aether shroud kill will most likely effect the run if it wasn't a knife kill and was part of another augment - as for shooting, just avoid it all together, it's not necessary to shoot anything other than maybe the double or bonus points outside the map :)
Just done it again and I got it unlocked. Only thing I haven't done this time is not used smoke/decoy. Nukes are fine to use. I thing because game register decoy assists somehow it may interfere challenge maybe?
Potentially, I basically never used them so didn't think to try! It seems some things that really should not be interfering at all with the challenge are the things that are interfering lol
I just did it got all the way to round 26 and it didn't unlock, I had one critical kill. This is the 3rd time I've attempted this and had it not unlock for me. I only used my knife and combat axe. Double pack on the knife, Melee Macchiato, (Expresso & Strength Training), Juggernog (Reactive Armor & Hardened Plates), Quick Revive (Dying Wish & Karmic Return). I didn't get downed all game nor did I lose Quick Revive by having Dying Wish activate. I was using Aether Shroud (Void Sheath & Extension). Managed to grab the Kochi Dark Ops Challenge in Round 23 for during a single use of Aether Shroud with the Void Chief augment equipped, kill three zombies, two special zombies, and one elite zombie. I've genuinely got no idea why I can't seem to unlock this.
I have seen people in the comments saying aether shroud is bugging this - or using tactical grenades like decoys are also bugging this out - I would just say, try and avoid using field upgrades and tac grenades if you can!

@@dariusdafigga Did you buy armour upgrades and plates from the crafting table (and more throwing axes from the table too)? Followed what you said and it failed again, I somehow had 9 critical kills with the baseball bat. I'm getting really frustrated with these buggy challenges - re my question above I didn't use the crafting table or the armour upgrades either.
I can confirm you can use any type of melee you want cause I used the new Chainblade master craft for the knife and got the dark ops done definitely a really fun run and got it on my first attempt also gotta say killing Abominations with a melee is kinda Orgasmic 😂😂

i have done this boring Dark Card 3 times only have MeleeM and Knife pap3 and Epic and Axes and yeah still havent got that shit card??? wtf is wrong??? i done up to Level 26 just to be really safe but no card here?? only Melee kills no aehter shroud or Perks ??? Whats wrong?
Like I mentioned in the video, if you accidently get a crit kill, that can mess it up - also distraction grenades like decoys seem to messing things up, so too can zombies being killed by exploding cars etc if a Mangler shoots it - Best thing to do is train that ramp leading to the church, let a mangler destroy any vehicles (leave him last alive and let him shoot them) and carry on once you have no more explosive things around you - Traps stop this card unlocking too I believe

Pretty sure they fixed crit kills. I just got card and had 2 crits. Almost positive i got the crits because the abom was lasering them and i killed the zombie on accident. Used dril. Killed with nukes, etc.
Made it to the round 25, knife, axe and macchiato. Didn't received my calling card for some reason. I got down couple times but doubt this would affect it as such. Nukes and decoy were used maybe they were the issue?
Nukes and decoys will be fine - I would assume some form of explosion or crit kill would've prevented progress - just make sure you NEVER see the crit kill text on screen to ensure you get this done - combat axes NEVER crit kill and are one-shot kills forever so just use those as much as possible :)
@@Jazza_Plus I had 0 crit kills and been doing everything as in video in the background. Gonna do it again, hopefully going to work this time. It's not hard to do survive these 25rounds just time consuming.
i think nukes are the issue just due the same thing unless it was just one single crit kill that i got don’t know how but it was either or. 1st try too smh

If you do cut off one of his heads during his ranged attacks you will fail the challenge. You pretty much have to do all body or leg shots on the abominations. Which is tedious
I hit one of his heads off in the footage and it was fine - it is only the final blow is a crit and you get the "critical kill" pop up on screen - I would assume something else happened in your game for it to fail

Imo it’s best to train the zombies in the bowling alley. Lot’s of space and no cars so you don’t run the risk of blowing any up.
Once I unlock Nebula I’m gonna start going for some of these calling cards. I just subbed thank you for these guides!

Wonder if it works with the swords on citadel seems like that would make this way easier

Thank you bro - nice to see a big time streamer popping up on my screen ;)
Whats with the Nuke? Can i pick it up or not?
can u buy combat axes from the bench or will that ruin it?
Yeah, you can use salvage to get them :)

- Did not have any zombies killed by cars or lethals (abomination did kill zombies with its laserbeam)
- Picked up every power up
- Killed manglers by going prone so as to not risk destroying their cannon (WILL cause you to fail)
- Do not use any ammo mods (by extension, no elemental pop)
- Bought jugg, quick revive, speed cola, and melee
- Also did not use any tacticals besides stim shot & decoys
- Aether shroud is highly recommended with the augment that lets you extend duration with melee kills, but not necessary
- No killstreaks obviously
- If anything isn’t included in here (such as the random zombies that are around the map) it’s because it doesn’t affect the challenge, as long as any kill you get is by melee or tomahawk, you’re good
- Simple as that, anyone saying you can’t get power ups or use gobblegums doesn’t know what they’re talking about
@@dariusdafiggaif you killed a mangler by destroying their cannon but it doesn’t say critical kill does it still fail? I’m assuming that’s what went wrong with mine cause I did everything you listed except going prone and didn’t even use gobble gums field upgrades or nukes and finished the game with 0 critical kills and didn’t get it
Do I have to use the knife? or can I use a different melee weapon?
You can use any melee weapon
@Jazza_Plus sweet
Wait how do get the calling card if your supposed to use melee perk but other people I see have jugg and speed cola ?
It's written weirdly - It is meaning to kill with only melee, combat axe or melee perk - it's because the punching animation changes with guns when you buy it, so you ARE allowed to run around with a gun, as long as you're punching zombies with the perk active but that's only good until like round 7/8
Can I shoot a gun without hitting a zombie ? For shooting cars ?
And I just had a aether shroud kill while teleporting forward… does this affect my run now :/
The aether shroud kill will most likely effect the run if it wasn't a knife kill and was part of another augment - as for shooting, just avoid it all together, it's not necessary to shoot anything other than maybe the double or bonus points outside the map :)
Just done it again and I got it unlocked. Only thing I haven't done this time is not used smoke/decoy. Nukes are fine to use. I thing because game register decoy assists somehow it may interfere challenge maybe?
Potentially, I basically never used them so didn't think to try! It seems some things that really should not be interfering at all with the challenge are the things that are interfering lol
Decoys don’t affect it. I used them in my run
Good thing light mend and citadel is a thing now
I just did it got all the way to round 26 and it didn't unlock, I had one critical kill. This is the 3rd time I've attempted this and had it not unlock for me. I only used my knife and combat axe.
Double pack on the knife, Melee Macchiato, (Expresso & Strength Training), Juggernog (Reactive Armor & Hardened Plates), Quick Revive (Dying Wish & Karmic Return). I didn't get downed all game nor did I lose Quick Revive by having Dying Wish activate.
I was using Aether Shroud (Void Sheath & Extension). Managed to grab the Kochi Dark Ops Challenge in Round 23 for during a single use of Aether Shroud with the Void Chief augment equipped, kill three zombies, two special zombies, and one elite zombie.
I've genuinely got no idea why I can't seem to unlock this.
I have seen people in the comments saying aether shroud is bugging this - or using tactical grenades like decoys are also bugging this out - I would just say, try and avoid using field upgrades and tac grenades if you can!

@@dariusdafigga Did you buy armour upgrades and plates from the crafting table (and more throwing axes from the table too)?
Followed what you said and it failed again, I somehow had 9 critical kills with the baseball bat. I'm getting really frustrated with these buggy challenges - re my question above I didn't use the crafting table or the armour upgrades either.
i completed it with a critical abom kill so idk whats up with that
I can confirm you can use any type of melee you want cause I used the new Chainblade master craft for the knife and got the dark ops done definitely a really fun run and got it on my first attempt also gotta say killing Abominations with a melee is kinda Orgasmic 😂😂
Can this be done if the team I'm in are playing as normal?
Can you use Dark flare field upgrade?
No, I don't believe so - it's really not needed either so just stick to either aether shroud or frenzied guard to help out the most :)

You can do this with other perks?
Nope, just melee
Yes you can - just cannot KILL with anything but knife, axe or punches from melee macchiato
baseball bat and now the drill make this so much easier and more fun than the knife
Dunno keep getting crit with the bat doing my head in
i have done this boring Dark Card 3 times only have MeleeM and Knife pap3 and Epic and Axes and yeah still havent got that shit card??? wtf is wrong??? i done up to Level 26 just to be really safe but no card here?? only Melee kills no aehter shroud or Perks ??? Whats wrong?
Like I mentioned in the video, if you accidently get a crit kill, that can mess it up - also distraction grenades like decoys seem to messing things up, so too can zombies being killed by exploding cars etc if a Mangler shoots it - Best thing to do is train that ramp leading to the church, let a mangler destroy any vehicles (leave him last alive and let him shoot them) and carry on once you have no more explosive things around you - Traps stop this card unlocking too I believe

Pretty sure they fixed crit kills. I just got card and had 2 crits. Almost positive i got the crits because the abom was lasering them and i killed the zombie on accident.
Used dril. Killed with nukes, etc.
Made it to the round 25, knife, axe and macchiato. Didn't received my calling card for some reason. I got down couple times but doubt this would affect it as such. Nukes and decoy were used maybe they were the issue?
Nukes and decoys will be fine - I would assume some form of explosion or crit kill would've prevented progress - just make sure you NEVER see the crit kill text on screen to ensure you get this done - combat axes NEVER crit kill and are one-shot kills forever so just use those as much as possible :)
@@Jazza_Plus I had 0 crit kills and been doing everything as in video in the background. Gonna do it again, hopefully going to work this time. It's not hard to do survive these 25rounds just time consuming.
@@Jazza_Plus I don't think decoys are fine, I have seen multple guides that say decoys ruin the challenge, but havent tried it myself
Push it to round 26
i think nukes are the issue just due the same thing unless it was just one single crit kill that i got don’t know how but it was either or. 1st try too smh
Also the farmer fails the challenge if you kill him due to him counting as a wierd mechanic meaning if you kill him you will fail
Thanks for letting us know, I thought I killed him in my game, but maybe I didn't!
I unlocked this dark ops yesterday even though I had 1 critical kill. Strange🤔
Maybe they fixed it - can't lie, the footage was recorded on Tuesday (5 days ago) so it could well have been fixed by now :)
I also once got a crit kill with a meelee i was using the drill too
@@Zeroherolive i got a load using the drill. I can't bare this challenge. Hit 25 so many times and nothing cause of this dumb bug...
Killed 1 in the car. Didn’t get it
@@Zeroheroliveme 2
Can you use Void Sheath?
I believe so but if you get any OTHER type of kill besides knife/axe kills then that may interfere :)
Yes
can u do it in a squad?
I believe so, as long as you individually don't kill anything with something other than melee/throwing axe
Can you do it in co-op?
The challenge specifically says “round 25 solo”
Wait you can use jug ??
yeah, when it mentioned the perk in the challenge, it meant as in the punching anim - so just pointing out melee only for kills/damage to zombies
@ will try again bc around lvl 20 zombies hit hard

@ thx man
can you play with people playing normally
I believe so, but it's relatively easy to do solo!
round 24 a zombie died to a car from a mangler shot 🤧🤧
Me I got the challenge with 9 critical kills so i didin’t had any problems
do nukes and instakills still void the run
No, you can use powerups

I did not realize you could use other perks 🤦♂️ i wish it was worded better
Can I use drill?
You should be able to since it’s still melee kills.
Yep
Can it be done with friends shotting zombies?
I did this solo, so cannot confirm - I would say you probs can as long as YOU don't shoot, but honestly, it's super simple to do solo :)
No. The calling card literally says "reach round 25 Solo"
Are nukes allowed?
yep :)

If you do cut off one of his heads during his ranged attacks you will fail the challenge. You pretty much have to do all body or leg shots on the abominations. Which is tedious
I hit one of his heads off in the footage and it was fine - it is only the final blow is a crit and you get the "critical kill" pop up on screen - I would assume something else happened in your game for it to fail
The drill doesn't give you critical kills
Calling card is butt ugly for such a challenge… pisses me off lol
What about ammo mod kills
