50 free Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 arrived in October 2018 and broke with series habit. It shipped without a traditional campaign, rebuilt multiplayer around hero-style Specialists and healing on demand, and added Blackout, the series' first last-squad-standing mode, with up to 100 players on one huge map. This quiz covers every side of the game. There are questions on the Specialists and their signature weapons, on modes, maps, scorestreaks and camouflages, and on Zombies, from the Chaos crew's journey through myth to the end of the long-running Aether story. Blackout and the story of the game's development get their turn too. It is written for anyone who played BO4, whether that meant ranked multiplayer, late-night Zombies easter eggs or one more drop into Blackout. Expect a mix of easy wins and questions for veterans, each with a short explanation.
