Even though Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 would most likely have been a huge hit with or without it, the choice to integrate a battle royale mode instead of a traditional campaign has majorly contributed to Black Ops 4's immediate success. Being built on Black Ops nostalgia, Blackout has tapped into and capitalized on the success of the previous three Black Ops installments through the shaping of the map and the playable characters.

There are three sets of unlockable characters in Blackout and all include some characters that first appeared in previous Black Ops games. For the zombies set, there are nine unlockable characters, but only eight can be unlocked through completing the corresponding challenges. Shadowman is the only zombies character that can be unlocked by purchasing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's season pass. While four of the characters only required obtaining an item, killing zombies with it, and finishing in the top ten, Bruno's requirements can be relatively trickier.

As it was with unlocking Nikolai, Bruno's challenge also contains three basic steps, but unlike Nikolai's, Bruno's challenge does not require killing and looting zombies. To acquire Bruno, players must find the Mug Shot poster; this will most-likely be the hardest part. The Mug Shot is found by searching supply drops, but could have also been found by killing Blightfather while the Blightfather event was live. The player must hold on to the item for the rest of the match, as they will not unlock Bruno without it. After finding and collecting the item, the player must melee-kill an opponent before finishing the match, and finishing a downed player with a melee will not count.

While gaining a melee-kill can sometimes be difficult, there a few key tips to taking advantage of having found the Mug Shot poster. The easiest way, and the most boring way, to obtain a melee-kill is to sit and wait in a building right beside a doorway. Remaining still and quiet, the player could be set up perfectly to finish Bruno's challenge if an unsuspecting player walks in. It is recommended to put on the Brawler perk, as it will give the player the ability to one-hit an opponent with lesser armor.
