How to Get Hero Gear in Call of Duty Black Ops 3

Recommended Videos

A big change that came with Call of Duty Black Ops 3 was the addition of the Specialist characters. Instead of being normal infantry, players have the ability to select from a list of heroes who all have a unique ultimate ability to help change the tide of battle. Of course, they wouldn’t really be specialists if they didn’t have cool gear, right? By completing a list of challenges found in the specialist’s menu, you can unlock alternate outfits for them, and if you’re brave enough you can even try to unlock their Hero gear, which is the hardest outfits to obtain for each individual hero.

In order to even begin the process of unlocking a specialist’s hero gear in Black Ops 3 you must complete every other challenge for all nine specialists in order to start the process for Hero Gear. Once that final challenge is unlocked and you complete it, you’ll have the Hero gear to show off to your friends and competitors. Listed below are each specialists hero challenge.
