Black Ops 6 features a moderate collection of operators at launch, and you might wonder how to unlock them. Most operators like Frank Woods or Russell Adler are characters we know and love from Treyarch's franchise.

Although most of them are unlocked from the start, you'll have to complete some extra steps to get access to all the characters in the game's multiplayer section.
