Gauntlet Mode in Black Ops 4 Zombies is a new round-based challenge mode that offers players challenges in each round they stay alive and rewarding them for doing so.  Based on the Classic Mode, Gauntlet features 30 rounds of challenges with different rules for each round.  The premise is simple.  Play by the rules and stay alive and you’ll earn Medals and Special Rewards at rounds 10,20, and 30.

The catch in Gauntlet Mode is that if your team fails to complete the round as outlined by the rules you will get a strike.  If you get three strikes the game is over. When you start out in Gauntlet Mode there will be a notification in the middle of the screen that tells you what the current challenge is.

After each round you will get a new notification at the start of the round to let you know what that challenge is.  If you fail to complete any challenge before round’s end or break any rules, you will get a strike that goes towards your three strikes rule.  Completing the entire 30-round Gauntlet can be challenging but knowing where certain items are and preparing for the challenges ahead can help.
