Gauntlet (gametype)

Gauntlet is a round-based Zombies mode added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on January 15th, 2019 on PlayStation 4, and on January 22nd, 2019 for Xbox One and PC. The mode features a round-based gauntlet, with each round requiring a specific challenge be completed in order to advance.
==Overview==
Gauntlet has up to 4 players and consists of 30 rounds. Each round has a unique challenge that the players must complete in order to progress to the next round. Every 10 rounds, the players will be rewarded with a medal until they either die, or reach round 30, in which the game will end. 
Players will get a strike every time they fail a challenge or bleed out, causing the challenge to also restart. After three strikes, the Gauntlet will end. During gameplay, the match is timed and records your "fastest time" within the gamemode menu.
