All Intel Documents In Onslaught Black Ops Cold War Zombies

Feel free to check out all our other Intel guides here.

What is Onslaught?

In Onslaught, players spawn next to a Dark Aether Orb, similar to the ones seen in Outbreak.

The Orb is surrounded by a force field that shields the area around the Orb, including the player. If the player goes out of the force field, they take damage.

Regular zombies spawn, and players must eliminate them to fill up the Orb’s power. A pink bar at the top-left corner of your screen under the mini-map represents Orb’s power.

Once the bar is filled, all the remaining zombies are killed by the explosion originating from the Orb, and the Orb moves to a new location. This wave completion is called a “Surge.” The surges get more challenging as you progress through them.

After completing three surges, an Elite surge also appears, spawning Elite zombies such as Manglers, Megaton, Krasny Soldat, Mimics, etc.

The Elite zombies always drop a random perk, power-ups, weapons, and equipment. They also drop Chalices and Aether Wrench to pack-a-punch your weapon and upgrade the rarity, respectively.

Intel on Onslaught

The Elite zombies will also randomly drop an Intel document, and that is how you can collect the Intel on Onslaught. In Onslaught, the Intel is only available in the form of documents that can be collected by eliminating the Elite zombies.

You can typically get a document drop within 3-4 Elite surges, sometimes less. And, you can only collect one document per game. There is a total of 57 Intel spread across 19 different maps. Each map has 3 Intel to collect, totaling up to 57 Intel overall. There are three categories of Intel which include Requiem, Omega, and Maxis Intel.

The whole process of collecting these Intel is quite time-consuming and can take a while, given you can only collect one Intel per game. It means to collect all three on a single map, you need to play that map three times. And then you must repeat the same with the rest of the 18 maps. So, you must be ready to play 57 games to collect all 57 Intel documents. You can keep track of what Intel you need to collect by going to your ‘barracks’ from the main menu and navigating down to the ‘Intel’ selection.

Go to the ‘Exclusive Content’ tab, and you should see all your Onslaught Intel.

It is very easy to identify which Intel you’re missing. When you select hover over the ‘Classified’ Intel, it shows you the name of the map you need to play to collect the respective Intel.

You can play Onslaught either in public or private lobbies. But, the fastest and best method is to load up a private Onslaught game. In private lobbies, you have the option to select the map. You cannot choose the map in public matches.

Once you’ve collected your Intel, exit the game and repeat the same.
