Find out in this guide how to decrypt the secret code to access the floppy disk and Operation Chaos in CoD Black Ops: Cold War
Call of Duty Black Ops features as many as 16 main missions with two additional unlockable secondary only solving certain puzzles. This will necessarily lead you to having to collect information and evidence along the way of the game, but to do so it will be necessary to follow some actions and game choices. When you have found the clues, you will then have to return to the safe area to decipher them. The objects to be found will be the same for everyone, but the answers they give you will be random for all players. It is therefore mandatory to collect the documents without seeking quick solutions. In this guide you will find out then how to decrypt the Floppy Disk to gain access to Operation Chaos in CoD Black Ops: Cold War.
How to proceed
After completing the Fractured Jaw mission Operation Chaos will appear on the evidence wall near Operation Red Circus. To have access to this mission it is necessary to decrypt the Floppy, using a code and a passphrase. Everything you need can be found in some specific missions: Nowhere Left To Run, Brick in the Wall e Redlight, Greenlight. So let's proceed by telling you how to collect the necessary evidence from all the missions, so to understand how to decrypt the Floppy Disk in CoD Black Ops: Cold War.
Nowhere Left to Run is the first test - CoD Black Ops: Cold War, how to crack the floppy disk code
During the Nowhere Left to Run mission you will clash with Qasim and you will be faced with the choice of catching it, releasing it or throwing it off the roof making it come to a bad end. To access the clue it is necessary to initially avoid knocking it down choosing:
- Tell us where Arash is and you will live.
- You have to say something to my friend, or I can't stop him from throwing you down.
- Who will Arash meet with?
He will then tell you about strangers coded messages giving you the first useful proof, then you can decide again what to do with him, this time having no influence on the success of our mission. Let's move on to the next fundamental test needed to understand how to crack the code in the CoD Black Ops: Cold War floppy.
Brick in the Wall and the second test - CoD Black Ops: Cold War, how to crack the floppy disk code
When you are about halfway through the third mission, you will encounter an informant at the bar. He will give you one secondary mission which you can start following a few moments after the end of the dialogue. After exiting the bar via the upstairs balcony, you will find yourself in a courtyard. Go straight through a corridor until you meet one blue door with 732 on it. Pick it up and go inside. He then goes down the stairs and be careful to kill the two soldiers silently. On the table you will find the second proof.
Redlight, Greenlight and the third test - CoD Black Ops: Cold War, how to crack the floppy disk code
During the Redlight mission, Greenlight will arrive in a fake city used by the Russians. Your goal is to proceed to a bar near the Totally Wild Salon, recognizable by a flashy luminous sign that reads "Drinks". Inside you will have to go up the stairs and reach the second floor by looking up the wall a map. Take a picture of us and you will have your third proof. Now it's up to the last part of this guide on how to crack the floppy code in CoD Black Ops: Cold War.
Here are the numbers you need - CoD Black Ops: Cold War, how to crack the floppy disk code
At this point you will have all three evidence, you will then need to access the analysis of the evidence regarding Operation Chaos from the wall of clues. First thing take a look at the front page of The Observer, then take note of all the red letters. You will have to decode them by finding the name of a city. Then match the city to one of those listed on the reel to get a four-digit number, which you will need to unlock the first floppy disk prompt. To find the second code you need, take the encrypted sheet with the numbers by hand.
Of the list you will see missing two figures: one hidden by the blue question mark and another red. To reveal them you will have to figure out the missing number from the red and blue digits. To do this you need to understand the specific common addition in your case which will fill in the blank in the question marks. If, for example, for blue numbers you have 10, 12, 14, ?? and 18, the mysterious number will be 16 (all numbers in this case are generated by an addition of +2). While for the red ones there could be 46, 50, ??, 58 and 62, the hidden red number will be 54 (all numbers in this case are generated by an addition of +4).
Finally join the two numbers and you will have the code, in this case: 1654. We remind you that the calculation it will certainly be different for each player. By doing so you will have both codes, thus knowing how to decrypt the Floppy in CoD Black Ops: Cold War.
