Master Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Solo vs Team Fate strategy. Learn optimal fate choices for solo play and team setups, including Mamaback and Pristine Pelt focus.
Alright, let's break down the best ways to approach Fate in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, whether you're going it alone or teaming up. It's all about picking the right Fates to give you that edge, especially when things get tough.
Solo Strategy
When you're flying solo, your Fate choices are crucial for survival and efficiency.
- Primary Fate: Everyone should be running Furious Feet. Seriously, zombies are way faster in this game, and those extra 2 boosts per round are a lifesaver for keeping your distance and staying alive.
- Secondary Fate: This is where you can tweak things based on how confident you're feeling or what you're up against.
- If you're newer to the game or just want to blast through bosses quicker, grab Firepower.
- If you're a seasoned pro and pushing into the really high rounds (past 64), you'll want to consider Fortune or Friendship. Fortune is great because it makes your items and vehicles last way longer, which is clutch when rounds start taking twice as long. Friendship is good for boosting the golden bird's damage when the rounds get super long.
- Definitely skip Divine Chalice when you're solo; reviving teammates isn't a thing you need to worry about.
Team Strategy
When you're playing with a squad, coordination is key, and certain Fates become essential for the whole team.
- No matter what, Furious Feet and Firepower are must-haves for the team.
- After that, it's about filling roles based on player skill:
- Divine Shield and Divine Chalice are solid choices for support players.
- Fortune is best given to your most skilled player who can stay alive the longest, really maximizing those item benefits.
Here are a couple of optimal setups for a 4-player team, depending on your focus:
Optimal 4-Player Setup (Mamaback-focused)
| Fate | Recommended Player | Role |
| Furious Feet | Best player | Serves as bait for zombies, enabling team camping when needed. Must confidently train zombies. |
| Firepower | Best or solid player | Holds camp zones and keeps team alive. Must minimize deaths. |
| Friendship | Average player | Adds firepower and can double up with Firepower from Deadly Dungeons. |
| Divine Shield | Player who dies most | Becomes “bomb specialist,” saving team in dire situations. |
Optimal 4-Player Setup (Pristine Pelt-focused)
| Fate | Recommended Player | Role |
| Divine Chalice | Best, least-dead player | Maintains near-max lives, donates lives during Mamaback fight. Prioritized for Deadly Dungeon fate stones. |
| Furious Feet | Solid player | Trains zombies to allow camping. |
| Firepower | Average player | Provides boss damage support. |
| Divine Shield | Player who dies most | Tank/support role, designated “bomb specialist.” |
NOTE: These setups assume you're not using any bonus Fates from Deadly Dungeons. Finding extra fate stones can totally change the game, so keep an eye on the Fate Rock Combo section for more advanced strategies.
High-Round Consideration
If your team is experienced and aiming for the highest rounds, you might want to swap Firepower out for Fortune. As rounds get super long, Firepower's effectiveness drops, while Fortune's ability to extend item durations and increase drop rates becomes way more valuable.
