===Summit===
The minimap of Summit and the mention of a site in the Ural Mountains led people to investigate on the map in Black Ops 4. People found new screen displays which were similar to some of the slides. The five cities were also linked to five clocks on the map showing different hours. The numbers associated with a city were found on the map with each number having a different color. The colors were identical to the colors used in some of the slides.

By overlapping specific slides on top of the Summit clocks, a sentence was found: "BISH YOU WERE HERE".

The phrase "Bish you were here" was a reference to the between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky.https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044722
Using the remaining slides and overlapping them with the new screen displays found on the map and an image posted by Treyarch on Instagram, a sentenced was deciphered: "TURN ELEVEN WHITE".

ENWHITE PawnTakesPawn.png|V-730 Slide + Right Screen + Image posted by Treyarch - "ENWHITE"
The phrase "Turn eleven white" was a reference to the first game between Fischer (Black) and Spassky (White) where Spassky took Fischer's pawn with another pawn during the eleventh turn.
==Website (First version, Aug. 10 - 20)==
===Discovery of the site===
The image posted by Treyarch also contained a 13-word phrase with only the letter "K" shown at the seventh position. People found out that the mysterious phrase was "Pawn Takes Pawn", the move made by Spassky.
The website http://pawntakespawn.com/tv was quickly discovered and associated with Activision. The website featured an image of a CRT, an acoustic coupler, a black pawn and a white pawn, an old computer and a VCR flashing "8-14" and "12:00" indicating the next step would happen on August 14, 2020 at 12PM ET.
===Second update (August 12)===
On August 12, 2020, the website was updated and a post-it note was added at the bottom of the CRT. The note read "/TANGLEDWEB" which led to a new page http://pawntakespawn.com/tangledweb featuring a note.

The "WZ-F4-27495810" code was once again related to Warzone and pointed to a location in F4 which was north of Tavorsk District in Verdansk. A small shack could be found in this location next to the TV Station. When the code 27495810 was entered, the shack would open allowing the players to look inside.

===Eighth update (August 19)===
On August 19, the website was updated with a sixth VHS tape called "1981 v.1" added on top of the previous ones. The other VHS were renamed "1979 v.2", "1977-78 v.3", "1972-73 v.4", "1968-69 v.5" and "1961-62 v.6". The "/EMC2" note was updated to display "8/19 - DAY SIX: 1981".
Several numbers, 274058, were added to the acoustic coupler.
A new page also became available, https://pawntakespawn.com/11thhour featuring a note. A few hours later a small note saying "Timing is everything" was added to the "/11thhour" page.

==Solving the Ciphers==
Once all the VHS tapes were released and the numbers in the videos retrieved, the community started solving the ciphers found in the Warzone bunkers and shacks.
Using the "/11thHour" note from the website, they linked each VHS and numbers to a specific cipher.
*The numbers in the 1961-62 VHS tape (Green) would be used for the PSG cipher (Green)
*The numbers in the 1981 VHS tape (Yellow) would be used for the Chemical cipher (Blue)
*The numbers in the 1979 VHS tape (Red) would be used for the (λ) & f cipher (Purple)
*The numbers in the 1968-69 VHS tape (Orange) would be used for the Nix-Charge cipher (Yellow)
*The numbers in the 1972-73 VHS tape (Blue) would be used for the Nix-Stack cipher (Red)
*The numbers in the 1977-78 VHS tape (Purple) would be used for the Venona cipher (Orange)
Note 11thHour August19 Website PawnTakesPawn.jpg|First version of the /11thHour note.
===PSG===
The community found in Warzone four parts for the PSG cipher.

Cipher PSG2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|PSG 2/4 cipher
Cipher PSG3 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|PSG 3/4 cipher
Cipher PSG4 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|PSG 4/4 cipher
Some of the parts featured locations found in the Warzone map Verdansk: "Quarry", "Boneyard" and "Prison". The locations indicated the order for the PSG cipher parts. When the parts are put over the Verdansk map, they formed a .
PSGCipher WarzoneMap PawnTakesPawn.png|PSG cipher parts over the Verdansk map.
PSGCipher FourSquare PawnTakesPawn.png|PSG cipher as a Four-square cipher.
The code from the 1961-62 VHS tape was then used as a decription key:
60, 08, 52, 48, 80, 15, 93, 37, 71, 15, 80, 08, 92, 25, 81, 37, 80, 38, 60, 48, 93, 18, 63, 28
The numbers need to be entered alternatively in the top-right and bottom-left squares. The rows and columns of the large square is numbered 0 to 9.
60 is entered as Row 6 and Column 0, which reads as E on the top-right square.
08 is entered as Row 0 and Column 8, which reads as M on the bottom-left square.
To decipher 60 and 08, one needs to find the letter crossed by E and M in the top-left square first, then in the bottom-right square. In this case, it is A and R.

Once the all the numbers were deciphered, the solution found was AROPBDTOGCATMEINDTERRUSR
===Chemical===
The community found in Warzone two parts for the Chemical cipher.
Cipher Chem1 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Chem 1/2 cipher.
Cipher Chem2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Chem 2/2 cipher.
To solve this cipher, the formula of the chemical compounds need to be written using the where the atom C is followed by H in the first place and the other atoms that follow are written in an alphabetical order.
ChemCipher Formulas PawnTakesPawn.png|Compounds formulas written with the Hill system.
The code from the 1981 VHS tape was then used as to solve the cipher:
01, 03, 02, 02, 03, 04, 01, 01, 02, 01, 03, 01, 02, 02, 06, 02, 03, 04, 03, 01, 05, 01, 02, 01
Each number representes the position of an atom in the formulas, with the first number (01) being the atom in the first position in the first formula, C. The second number (03) is the atom in the third position of the second formula, W.

Once all the numbers were deciphered, the solution found was: CWHHNYHIBBIHOHSIOSNCSHNH
===(λ) & f===
The community found in Warzone five parts of the cipher.
Cipher Lambdaf1 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|(λ) & f 1/5 cipher
Cipher Lambdaf2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|(λ) & f 2/5 cipher
Cipher Lambdaf3 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|(λ) & f 3/5 cipher
Cipher Lambdaf4 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|(λ) & f 4/5 cipher
Cipher Lambdaf5 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|(λ) & f 5/5 cipher
The code from the 1979 VHS tape was used to identify the first part of the cipher:
02, 00, 09, 01, 03, 03, 06, 01, 07, 07, 01, 06, 03, 09, 07, 07, 07, 00, 08, 05, 09, 04, 01
The code was related to the frequencies used in a or DTMF.
[1]209 Hz, 1336 Hz, 1[4]77 Hz, 163X Hz, [6]97 Hz, 770 Hz, 85[2] Hz and 941 Hz
As such, the first part depicted a keypad that needed to be filled with numbers from 0 to 9 as well as * and # symbols. The fourth column was unused.
L&FCipher DMTFLayout PawnTakesPawn.png|DTMF Keypad Layout on the first part of the cipher.
To solve the ciphers, the first three parts of the cipher have to be combined. The last two parts are used to obtain a phone number. Each letter from the military alphabet matches a number on the first part. To determine the specific number, one need to look at the number crossed by two identical military letters.

L&FCipher5 Phone Solution PawnTakesPawn.png
Following the order found in the fourth and fifth parts of the cipher, a phone number was discovered: +1 (831) 290 - 6578.
When the phone was called, an automated voice asked for a 6-digit code. The code was found on the acoustic coupler in the main page of the website on August 19: 274058.
AcousticCoupler Website PawnTakesPawn.png|Numbers on the acoustic coupler.
After entering the 274058 code, the automated voice recited several letters in the military alphabethttps://www.reddit.com/r/blackopscoldwar/comments/icqwtc/phone_number_code_recording/ which gave the solution: OATAILMHSKGREDEIECMNOEEE
A missing number, 03, was omitted from the 1979 VHS tape where it should have appeared at 8:25. This led to a slight offset in the letters of the solution where the last E wasn't tied to any number. When 03 is reintroduced in the code in the thirteenth position (between 06 and 03), the final letter E was now tied with the last number, 01.
===Nix-Charge===
The community found in Warzone four parts for the Nix-Charge cipher.
Cipher NixCharge1 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Charge 1/4 cipher
Cipher NixCharge2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Charge 2/4 cipher
Cipher NixCharge3 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Charge 3/4 cipher
Cipher NixCharge4 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Charge 4/4 cipher
To solve the Nix-Charge cipher, the code from the 1968-69 VHS tape needs to be turn into letters following the alphabet where A=1, B=2, etc.
15, 09, 13, 21, 12, 06, 10, 24, 04, 11, 05, 17, 25, 18, 07, 11, 13, 12, 22, 19, 13, 01, 16, 02
After the numbers are changed into letters:
OIMULFJXDKEQYRGKMLVSMAPB
The third and fourth parts of the Nix-Charge need to be overlap and each letter need to be put in each square.
NixChargeCipher 3&4 Combined PawnTakesPawn.png|Nix-Charge 3/4 and 4/4 combined, with the letters added.
To solve decipher the letters, one need to look at each square to find if a square is "Silver" (Negative Effects) or "Flat Black" (Positive Effects).
A "Silver" square indicates that the number featured on the nixie tube needs to be substracted from the number associated with the letter (O = 15, I = 09, etc.). A "Flat Black" square indicates that the number featured on the nixie tube needs to be added to the number associated with the letter. The resulting number is then converted to a letter using the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.)
Examples:
*The letter O is on a "Silver" square. The number featured on the nixie tube is 3. This means the number 3 will be substracted from the number associated with O, which is 15 in this case. 15 - 3 equals 12 which is turned into the letter L.
*The letter M is on a "Flat Black" square. The number featured on the nixie tube is 6. This means the number 6 will be added to the number associated with M, which is 13 in this case. 13 + 6 equals 19 which is turned into the letter S.
Once all the numbers were deciphered, the solution found was: LDSNUGOTFTETWNFSRIRLODRA
===Nix-Stack===
The community found in Warzone three parts for the Nix-Stack cipher.
Cipher NixStack1 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Stack 1/3 cipher
Cipher NixStack2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Stack 2/3 cipher
Cipher NixStack3 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Nix-Stack 3/3 cipher
The second part of the cipher indicates the order numbers in the nixie tubes for a Russian model named (IN-12A). The order for this model is, from the front to the back, 3 8 9 4 0 5 7 2 6 1.
This order of numbers was then put in the third part of the cipher. This allows turning numbers into different ones.
NixStackCipher IN12AOrder PawnTakesPawn.png
NixStackCipher Conversion PawnTakesPawn.png
The code from the 1972-73 VHS tape is used in this cipher:
07, 50, 07, 51, 02, 25, 54, 54, 25, 09, 57, 06, 22, 54, 25, 50, 25, 07, 59, 58, 25, 50, 25, 02
The numbers simply need to be converted into new numbers using the IN-12A order featured in the third part of the ciphers (0=1, 1 = 6, etc).
19, 01, 19, 06, 12, 20, 05, 05, 20, 13, 09, 14, 22, 05, 20, 01, 20, 19, 03, 08, 20, 01, 20, 12
The new numbers are then turned into letters following the alphabetical order (A=1, B=2, etc).
Once all the numbers were deciphered, the solution found was: SASFLTEETMINVETATSCHTATL
===Venona===
The community found in Warzone four parts for the Venona cipher. The Venona cipher is a reference to the , a US counterintelligence program.

Cipher Venona2 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Venona 2/4
Cipher Venona3 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Venona 3/4
Cipher Venona4 PawnTakesPawn Warzone.png|Venona 4/4
To solve the Venona cipher, the community used the phrase "RESUME COVER AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION" visible inside Bunker 11 in Verdansk to get the numbers from the third part of the cipher and enter them in the second part.
VenonaCipher ResumeCover Bunker11 WZ.png|Resume Cover Await Further Instruction in Bunker 11.

The numbers then have to be put in four sections of five numbers. The code "J4722" then needs to be put in front of the numbers. This code came from the Warzone victory screen inside the helicopter.
VenonaCipher HeliCode WZ.png|J4722 code featured in the Evac helicopter in Warzone.
VenonaCipher Part2Solution PawnTakesPawn BOCW.png
The letter J is omitted to be used for the decription, leaving the code: 472206432518235478661164
The code from the 1977-78 VHS tape was then used for an addition with the previous code.
04, 03, 07, 01, 03, 02, 07, 08, 08, 05, 00, 08, 05, 02, 09, 08, 01, 05, 08, 03, 00, 01, 04, 07
The first 0 of each number had to be removed. Only the single number is kept, the tens are discarded.

This led the community to use all the timestamps when the numbers appeared in the six VHS tapes. It was found that each number appeared every 5 seconds from 2:05 to 14:00.
When all the numbers from the VHS tapes were written in the order they appeared and then converted to the letters tied to those numbers in the solutions of the ciphers, the solution found was:
SALCOLDAWARSISNTHFOUGHTPONLAABATTLEFIELDYTHETTIMEHBOMBEISGTICKINGAWITHMEVEROESECONDFTHEIDISASTERNISDCOMINGTCLOSERHANDECLOSERTTHERDANGERUISTREALH
Two phrases were hidden inside the solution. The first sentence was:
SALCOLDAWARSISNTHFOUGHTPONLAABATTLEFIELDYTHETTIMEHBOMBEISGTICKINGAWITHMEVEROESECONDFTHEIDISASTERNISDCOMINGTCLOSERHANDECLOSERTTHERDANGERUISTREALH
"A Cold War isn't fought on a battlefield. The time bomb is ticking with ever[y] second. The disaster is coming closer and closer. The danger is real"
And the second sentence was:
SALCOLDAWARSISNTHFOUGHTPONLAABATTLEFIELDYTHETTIMEHBOMBEISGTICKINGAWITHMEVEROESECONDFTHEIDISASTERNISDCOMINGTCLOSERHANDECLOSERTTHERDANGERUISTREALH
"Slash. Play the game. Find the truth."
The second phrase led to a new page on the Pawn Takes Pawn website, https://pawntakespawn.com/playthegamefindthetruth, which featured a teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War called "Know Your History".
Know Your History Official Call of Duty® Black Ops Cold War Trailer
Once the teaser was found, the "/EMC2" page was updated to feature a film reel with the date "Aug 26" written on it. The date for the reveal of Black Ops Cold War.

"We Are All Pawns" Transcript
Hooded Man: Every game has a champion. Heroes drop into battle. The fight for glory. We watch and we cheer. We choose sides and pledge our allegiance. What happens when that loyalty is betrayed? What if nothing is like what it seems? And everything you think you know? It's just a game. A game of wars and lies. Cover-ups and disinformation. Secret operations that never took place. We are all pawns in their simulations. But every system has weaknesses. Join me. It's time to learn the truth.

With the sentence formed by the 6 pages: "Construct map from printed intelligence. Travel as the crow flies. Bring six pictured treasures to the trophy case and recite incantations" and the six treasures featured on the postcards, the community unlocked new sentences in the game by putting the Jeweled Scarab, the Pot of Gold, the Crystal Trident of Poseidon, the Sapphire Bracelet, the Bag of Coins and the Crystal Skull from Hades inside the trophy case and typing the six incantations.
When entering Machination:
"You hold the scarab in the palm of your hand and speak the word MACHINATION. You watch in wonder as its wings click open, revealing a scintillating pattern of interlocking, ticking gears. As they click in sequence, they move into place to spell out the word FUGAZIFILE."
When entering Insight:
"You look into the eyes of the crystal skull and speak the word INSIGHT. Blinding light emanates from the skull, filling the room until all you can see are the shining eyes of the skull. In a voice which rattles your teeth, it speaks the word BURNBAG before the light dies down."
When entering Tribute:
"You pluck a handful of coins from the bag and speak the word TRIBUTE. The painting of the ferryman on the western wall moves, as he reaches from the canvas to accept your offering. Satisfied, he unties the ferry from the dock and paddles away. In his wake, the waves spell out the word INTELFIRE."
When entering Spectrum:
"You set the pot of gold down on the ground and speak the word SPECTRUM. A rainbow pours from the mouth of the pot, splashing against the northern wall. As the colors drip and evaporate from the wall, they leave behind residue in the shape of a word: INFOHAX."
When entering Avarice:
"You slip the bracelet onto your wrist and speak the word AVARICE. You feel a searing pain as the links suddenly heat up, and you tear it off. Burnt into your flesh is the word SHREDITALL."
When entering Tempest:
"You grasp the haft of the crystal trident and speak the word TEMPEST. Sparks crackle along its length, arcing between the tines, before firing a bolt of lightning at the eastern wall. When the sparks clear, the word GRIDSQUARE has been scorched into the wall next to the kitchen doorway."
Zork Terminal Incantations PawnTakesPawn.png|Entering the incantations.
Putting the new words together formed the phrase: "FUGAZIFILE, BURNBAG, INTELFIRE, INFOHAX, SHREDITALL, GRIDSQUARE. Players also unlocked an achievement for each incantation entered.

The table from Terminal 6 represented the . By arranging the different particles in the same manner than the Standard Model into the table for Terminal 6, each particle could be turned into a number.
Following the order shown by the small bar on top of each screenshot related to the particles, the numbers were turned into the 15-digit code used to open the safe: 431 371 688 520 954.

Applying the Reticle Cipher over the Kaboom! screenshots found in the terminals and linking each bomb with the correct reticle/letter from bottom to top led to the discovery of 6 new pages, each of them featuring a bomb.

A word was written in the center of each clock, which led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/tickticktickboom featuring a note with symbols and a drawing of the stadium.
Note TickTickTickBoom September25 Website PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/tickticktickboom note
The symbols on the note can be found within the Verdansk stadium and are ordered clockwise. Each clock featured in the previous image displayed three different hands pointing to a number as well as different numbers of dots in the middle. The dots represented the order in which the clocks are to be used. By placing each hand (hour hand, minute hand, second hand) in the same place as the symbols on the stadium drawing, words can be formed.
On the /detlatango page, the hour hand pointed to 7, the minute hand to 1 and the second hand to 2. Stacking the clock over the drawing and reading which letter matched the hour, minute and second hands for each symbol formed the word "TWI".

Typing BOMBARDIER in ZORK added six new rooms in the game, Pump Station, Field of Silos, Sand Silo, Stone Chamber, Riverbed and Putrid Swamp with the message:
You utter the word "bombardier" and the world seems to subtly shift. You get the feeling that a host of new possibilities have become available to you.
ZorkMap NewRooms September25 PawnTakesPawn.png|New rooms added into ZORK
Armed with the lantern or the torch, the players will need to go to the Maintenance Room to retrieve a vial of fuel before going to the Stone Chamber to pull the lever with the letter E missing. They then needed to go to the Pump Station, fill the pump with the vial of fuel and turn on the pump. Doing so would reward them with the "Primed and Ready" achievement.
Then they would need to go to the Sand Silo and pull the lever with the letter S missing before going to the Field of Silos and pull the lever with the letter W missing. The players would then have to return to the Stone Chamber and pull the lever with the letter E missing once again. Doing so would reward them with the "Block and Chain" achievement and a message:
You notice that the boulder in the middle of the pressure plates now has a word engraved on its surface: "DISSIPATE".
The players would then go to the Riverbed which rewarded them with the "Perfect Alignment" achievement and another message:
The three sections of the wheel have aligned, which has also lined up the letters into something readable. Oddly, however, the resulting sequence is gibberish:
XszmtrmtGrwvh
Entering the Putrid Swamp gave the players another message:
There is a ceramic garden gnome sticking out of the sand, newly revealed after draining the water. It holds a sign in one hand in which a message is written in decaying paint:
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
ZYXWVUTSRQPON
Deciphering "XszmtrmtGrwvh" using the code found on the ceramic garden gnome gave the password: "ChangingTides"
The players would then return to the Sand Silo and type the word "Dissipate" which rewarded them with the "Grain Drain" achievement and a final message:
You say "DISSIPATE" and watch through the windows as the sand begins to drain out of the silo. Once it is completely depleted, the door to the silo slowly swings open to reveal a message:
StonySilence

The words "ChangingTides" and "StonySilence" were the two keys that would need to be entered on the /twistedanomalies page on September 28.
===Fifth update (September 28)===
On September 28, a new page was found after submitting the words "ChangingTides" and "StonySilence" on the /twistedanomalies page which rewarded players with the "Master of Water and Earth" achievement. The page was https://pawntakespawn.com/shapedcharge which featured new commands.

Hooded Man: A once said "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things". If you're watching this, then you already know how twisted things can become. Research, experiments, particules, anomalies. Grossly simplistic words meant to confuse and mask from the think of these atrocities. The decaying of our humanity in full display. Maybe some things should stay covered up.

Another set of codes could be earned by hitting the number 3 on the dartboard 5 times in a row as well as hitting four bottles scattered around the club with a soccer ball within a limited time.
Al codes were released to all players who could not complete the challenges.

"What You're Made Of" Transcript
Hooded Man: You've been playing along quite nicely, though we aren't here to be nice. Soon we'll see what you're made of. What you know. How you think. The reflexes on the pressure. Hard judgement calls in the heat of battle. Decisions that could mean the difference between being killed or staying alive to see your family again. A choice that my father got wrong.

Hooded Man: You're getting quite good at following my breadcrumbs. I knew you would, you're a lot like me. When I was a kid, my mom had to work two jobs to make ends meet. That means I was home by myself and watched a lot of TV. But somehow she scraped up enough money to buy that for my 13th birthday. That saved me. , , , too many to list. I was good at it. Didn't matter what was going at school or in the street. In my living room with the lights off, I was a hero.

Following the instructions found in the /dotmatrix#006 note, the screenshots of River Raid had to be combined together to form a map which needed to be read from the bottom up. Using the screenshots indicating the letters with the "L-NNN" slides led to the discovery of a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/bridgeslayer which featured a video of William Bowman interrogating Bruce Harris believing Harris is Perseus.
/bridgeslayer Transcript
A man is seen unconcious and tied to a chair
William Bowman: Wake up! Are you ready to talk now?
Bruce Harris: Who are you? I don't know anything, I swear I didn't tell them anything. It wasn't me.
Bowman: I know it was you. You killed my father, you took him away from my family. You deserve to die.
Harris: Your father? I killed a lot of people, fathers, brothers... sisters. Too many to count. There's no one that regrets that more, trust me!
Bowman: Do you even know his name? Do you know any of their names? Battles fought all over the world, thousands dead - because of greed and power! Was it worth it, Perseus?
Harris: Perseus?! I don't know who sent you here, but your intel's wrong! I'm not Perseus-
Bowman: Stop lying! I know who is you. You gave the order. Dragovich was working for you! If not because of you, my dad wouldn't be sent to Vietnam. If not because of you, I would have known my father...
Harris: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Bowman: Shut up! Shut up. Look at me! I want you to see these eyes when you die. I was told I have his eyes. They're gonna be the last thing you see before I kill you.
Harris: Save the drama! Do you know how many times I had my life threaten? You think this is worse than being a P.O.W. held by the Soviets?! You're gonna kill me? Let's get this over with. I'm way too old to do this again! Whoever you are jus-
Bowman: Bowman.
Harris: What?
Bowman: My father... his name... was Bowman. And your men slaughtered him in Laos.
Harris: It can't be... You're William.
Bowman: Hey! How do you know my name? How do you know who I am?!
Harris: Look, someone turns you around.
Bowman: No.
Harris: I'm not Perseus.
Bowman: No.
Harris: My name is Bruce Harris. Your dad and I served together, we crossed path many times.
Bowman: No! You're lying. You're a Russian spy!
Harris: Your mom's name is Angela! And I'm not who you think. I can prove it. I know this is hard on you. There're more secrets buried than you'll ever discover. Look in that closet behind you. Go ahead! In the back somewhere, there's a duffle bag... with your dad's name on it. The answers you're looking for are in there. Go on.
Bowman leaves to retrieve the bag
Harris: That's yours now, Will.

The end of the video led to another page https://pawntakespawn.com/hydrocamouflage which invited people to return to ZORK to acquire 3 codes to enter the next day.
HydroCamouflage October28 Website PawnTakesPawn.png
ZorkMap HydroCamouflage October28 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|Map of Zork from /hydrocamouflage
====Zork====
Typing DREADNOUGHT in ZORK added eight different rooms in the game, Mandala, Stone Catapult, Stone Ring Shack, Generator Building, Makeshift Footbridge, Dilapidated Shack, Holding Cell and Mandala Shed with the message:
You utter the word "dreadnought" and the world seems to subtly shift. You get the feeling that a host of new possibilities have become available to you.
ZorkMap NewRooms October28 PawnTakesPawn.png|New rooms added into ZORK
Armed with the torch, the players would need to go to the Atlantis Room which now featured a door leading to the west which featured a mandala-shaped pattern and a key. After taking the key, they would need to enter the mandala which rewarded them with the "Walkabout" achievement as well as a code for the Generator Building:
You enter the mandala and walk along its footpath. As you make your way through the path, you skirt around several deep pits. In the stony ground near one of the pits, someone has engraved the message "GENERATOR BUILDING: 27 18 32".
The players would now have to go south of Reservoir South to find the Stone Catapult which required different settings. The direction needed to be set to "West", the power needed to be set to "70", the angel needed to be set to "45", the catapult needed then to be loaded and fired which rewarded players with the "Bombs Away" and "Swish" achievements and the message:
You fire the catapult and the stone flies majestically over the chasm. In exactly two seconds, you hear the telltale smash of stone hitting stone. The earth trembles beneath you as somewhere, a trigger has been hit.
The players then needed to go West of Chasm to find the Stone Ring Shack where a code needed for /hydrocamouflage could be found:
The interior of the shack is completely bare, except for a message scrawled into the rear wall: BallisticTension
The players would then need to go west of North-South Passage to find the Generator Building. Inside the building was a safe that could be unlocked by using the code found in the Mandala. This allowed players to take a crank and place it in the generator. They would then need to turn the switch on and turn the crank.
They would then have to go south of the Dam Base to the Makeshift Footbridge and then south again to the Dilapidated Shack. The players would need to push the metal drum featured in the shack, electrocuting the grue and rewarding them with the "Grue Slayer" achievement. They would then have to go back to the Generator Building and turn the switch off and then go back to the Dilapidated Shack to pull on a lever and entering the Holding Cell to the east.
Reading the diary rewarded the players with the "Invasion Of Privacy" achievement and a message containing a code and another code to be used on /hydrocamouflage:
A few notes are scribbled on the margins of the page. Toward the top is a drawing of a mandala and the numbers "78 93 04". At the bottom is the message: EnvironmentalHazard
The players would then have to go to the Canyon View and then the Mandala Shed in the northeast. Using the key to unlock the door revealed a safe which required the code found in the diary which rewarded players with the "Safekeeping" achievement and a message that led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/birdseyeview
You dial the sequence 78 93 04. You hear a satisfying click, and the door of the safe creaks open. Within the safe is a small stack of aerial photos. One of them has a message written on its back which reads /BIRDSEYEVIEW.

Combining the drawing from /boilerroom with the one from /birdseyeview led to the discovery of the last code needed for /hydrocamouflage, SacredGeometry.
===Sixth Update (October 29)===
On October 29, a new page was found after submitting the words "BallisticTension", "EnvironmentalHazard" and "SacredGeometry" on the /hydrocamouflage page leading to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/opensecret and rewarding players with the "Master of Secrets" achievement.
OpenSecret Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/opensecret page
The /opensecret page led to another page https://pawntakespawn.com/voicefromthepast which featured an audio file and a floppy disk which led to another page https://pawntakespawn.com/harborofrefuge which featured commands for the terminals.
VoiceFromThePast Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.png|/voicefromthepast
HarborOfRefuge Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/harborofrefuge commands
The audio file read:
Terminal 	Command 	Text 	Image

Terminal 5	FORCESEQUENCING-HN73 	Apply signals to first six maps	
Terminal 6	COUNTERDECEPTION-J7F4 	Apply signals to first six maps	
The commands from the terminals led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/colorcompany which featured a cassette tape with an audio file. The tape led to another page https://pawntakespawn.com/semaphoreblackout featuring a note.
ColorCompany Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/colorcompany
SemaphoreBlackout Cipher October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/semaphoreblackout
The audio file read:
The six River Raid screenshots from the /bulkhead page had to be combined in the same order as displayed in the terminals, from cyan to purple. Following the instructions found in /semaphoreblackout, lines had to be drawn between specific helicopters, boats, jets or fuel tanks. Comparing the lines with the "LL-NN" slides featuring black semaphore revealed 18 letters. By unscrambling the letters a new page was found https://pawntakespawn.com/nevergetofftheboat which featured a letter from Joseph Bowman to his fiancée Angela about their future child.

NeverGotOffTheBoat Letter Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/nevergetofftheboat letter
The page led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/discoveredcheck which required 6 codes to be entered. The codes were the ones displayed in the different terminals: AIREDALE, HEADWIND, WINDFALL, FREEBOARD, FATHOMS, SEACHANGE.
After entering the codes, a new page was found https://pawntakespawn.com/shoreleave rewarding players with the "Discovered Check" achievement. A note featured in /shoreleave led to another page https://pawntakespawn.com/byanymeans. Both pages featured documents about Perseus, Nikita Dragovich, Arash Kadivar, Qasim Javadi as well as letters wrote by Bruce Harris to William Bowman.
DiscoveredCheck Codes Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.png|Codes entered in /discoveredcheck
ShoreLeave Documents Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/shoreleave page
ByAnyMeans Documents Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.jpg|/byanymeans page
The /byanymeans page led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/colorbound which required a code by using tangrams found in both the Verdansk map of Call of Duty: Warzone and the Isolated map of Call of Duty: Mobile.
ColorBound October29 Website PawnTakesPawn.png|/colorbound
ColorBound TangramGrid Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.png|Tangram conversion grid
Each tangram found in Verdansk had a specific number written on them. A list of 36 tangrams could be made by arranging the tangrams by their number. Combining the Verdansk tangrams with their corresponding Isolated tangrams, based on the black-and-white squares, formed a third set of 36 tangrams with new colors.
Tangrams Combined VerdanskIsolated October29 Website PawnTakesPawn.png|Combining the tangrams from Verdansk and Isolated
By following the instructions on /colorbound where each number corresponded to a specific tangram from the third set, one needed to read the colors in the tangrams from left to right and top to bottom and find the matching colors in the conversion grid. The resulting code was : "1PIECES9IN8PLAY1".
After entering the code, a new page wound found https://pawntakespawn.com/perseusisoutthere which featured a video from William Bowman. Accessing the page rewarded players with the "Dead Draw" achievement.
/perseusisoutthere Transcript
William Bowman: Together we have begun to unravel the secrets that lie beneath the surface. The operations that take place under the cover of darkness. Heroes and traitors. And those caught somewhere in between. The Cold War is not just a thing of the past. The struggle for power and control is real. Across every nation on the planet. Make no mistake, Perseus is out there. Stay diligent. Know your history, or be doomed to repeat it.
PerseusIsOutThere Video Website October29 PawnTakesPawn.gif|/perseusisoutthere
The "Dead Draw" achievement led to a new page https://pawntakespawn.com/deaddraw which featured codes to be redeemed on the Call of Duty website to get some cosmetic rewards in Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
