There is a range of different Operators at launch, including those seen in the Call of Duty: Vanguard campaign. We expect more to be added as we progress through the new seasons, and we will be sure to add new Operators. These Operators can be used in Warzone as well. Feel free to check out our complete Warzone Operators guide here.

New Operator System

The new Operator system offers Operator XP. As you level up your Operator, you unlock new rewards for the Operator, including different variants of the base Operator skin, play of the game intro, quips, and finishing moves. You can check the unlocks by hovering over your Operator in the Operators menu and pressing ‘2’ on your keyboard, ‘R2’ on the PlayStation controller, or ‘RT’ on an Xbox controller.

Each Operator has four variants of their base skin, starting with two common skins, one rare, and finally an epic skin. The rare and epic skin visuals look similar for all the Operators. Here’s a look at the four different skins for Arthur. These unlock by simply playing the game as the Operator and leveling them up.

As mentioned before, the Operators do not provide any added gameplay advantage over other players. However, these Operators now give XP. Each Operator has a favorite weapon, and if you play the game with the selected Operator’s favorite weapon, you will get more XP for that weapon. You will also get double XP in general. This is particularly helpful if you’re looking to level up a specific weapon.

If you’re looking to level up your 3-Line Rifle, using Polina as your Operator is your best bet as that is her favorite weapon.
