What are the Black Ops 4 Gauntlet mode round challenges?

Gauntlet mode is the latest playlist added to Zombies and, like Classic mode, players start with 200 health. What sets it apart are the round-based challenges you have to complete in order to progress. The challenges for each round never change, but specific rules for each round can.

Players are rewarded for every 10 rounds they complete—a medal and calling card are given out for completing each round for the first time—but don’t think Gauntlet mode will be easy. There’s a three strikes rule being implemented in this playlist. This means that if players fail to complete the challenge or they’re downed by zombies, they’ll receive a strike to their name. Get three strikes, and it’s game over for your team.

There’s currently only one map available: It’s called Unsinkable, and it’s set on the Voyage of Despair map. Treyarch will add a second map into rotation later in January, and others down the line.
