Black Ops 2 Trophy Guide: Platinum Roadmap 2026

Round two. This Black Ops 2 trophy guide now covers the base game, all four DLC packs, and the secret trophies the first draft glossed over. The full list sits at 91 trophies: 51 in the base game, 40 spread across DLC. Yes, that means the platinum now has an asterisk if you skip the add-ons — technically the base 51 still get you there, but "comprehensive" was the word you used, so here we are.

The Numbers, In Full

Campaign: The Secret Trophies Nobody Mentions

Beyond the "finish the mission" freebies, several trophies are hidden behind specific in-mission choices, because Treyarch enjoys watching you replay chapters. Shoot Alex Mason in the legs during "Suffer With Me" for Family Reunion; spare Kravchenko in "Old Wounds" for Dirty Business; let Farid and DeFalco kill each other in "Odysseus" for Showdown.

• Hey Good Looking — dodge the burning wall during the car chase in "Fallen Angel"
• Ship Shape — spare Admiral Briggs to save the USS Barack Obama
• I'm on a Tank! — have a corpse still riding the tank when it's driven

Completing "Pyrrhic Victory," "Old Wounds," "Time and Fate," and "Suffer With Me" specifically on Veteran nets Old Fashioned, while finishing every future-set mission on Veteran gets you Futurist. Do the whole campaign on Black Ops 2 Veteran difficulty in one go and both silvers fall in your lap simultaneously, which is the one act of mercy this list offers.

Do Giant Accomplishment before your Veteran run. Every weapon, perk, and piece of equipment unlocks, turning Veteran from a war crime into a mild inconvenience. Also: replay missions individually, don't start a New Story, or your Career Record — and every challenge you've banked — gets wiped.

The five Strike Force missions can lock you out of content if you fail or ignore them, and two require deliberate story choices to even trigger. Finish "Dispatch" before "Achilles' Veil" becomes playable, and complete all five before "Odysseus" if you want the full challenge set counted toward Giant Accomplishment.

Multiplayer: Grinding for Sport

The Big Leagues trophy is the headline change on the 2026 rerelease. On original hardware it demanded five League Play wins post-placement; a genuinely punishing ask. On the PS4 and PS5 ports it now just requires starting the campaign, because League Play was quietly removed entirely. Everything else — hitting Sergeant rank 10, reaching Prestige, winning ten Party Games matches, ten Combat Training wins — is unaffected and still exists purely to consume your evenings.

Zombies: Now With All The Maps

The base Black Ops 2 zombies trophies live in Green Run and TranZit: opening every door without catching fire, pacifying zombies with an EMP, collecting all four equippable items, buying two perks before the power's on. The DLC maps pile on considerably more.

Then there's the TranZit Easter egg, still the platinum's designated gatekeeper. Maxis' side needs only two players and is markedly shorter than Richtofen's; pick it, it counts the same and your sanity will thank you. One catch: if anyone in the lobby already finished Maxis' side, the Easter egg refuses to start, because consistency was never this game's strong suit.

Giant Accomplishment: 160 Reasons to Suffer

All 160 challenges across 11 story missions and 5 Strike Force missions must be cleared for this gold. Ten per mission, viewable from the Loadout screen. Bring the Access Perk everywhere — several challenges demand weapons or areas that are otherwise unreachable, which is the developers' polite way of saying "figure it out."

DLC Breakdown

All four map packs — Revolution, Uprising, Vengeance, and Apocalypse — are confirmed present in the port, each with its own trophy list, mirroring how the original PS3 version handled things. That's 40 additional trophies covering new multiplayer maps and the zombies maps above, none of which are required for platinum but all of which exist to justify "comprehensive."

Final Word, Extended Edition

Ten to fourteen hours covers the base platinum for a competent player; add several more if you're chasing full DLC completion. The Giant Accomplishment trophy and the TranZit Easter egg remain the two genuine roadblocks — everything else is time, not skill. Go collect your stars.
