Activision has been preparing the Call of Duty community for its next title with a series of easter egg hunts as we build-up to the COD 2020 reveal.
Recently, mysterious packages were sent out to select Call of Duty community members to spark the hunt.
Players have been checked past games such as Black Ops 4 and have even dived into the bunkers surrounding Warzone to figure out what the clues mean.
The Pawn takes Pawn website has been great for keeping track of the latest clues and what to do next.
We've gathered all of the latest information and where the Easter Egg hunt currently is for Black Ops Cold War.
COD 2020 Easter Egg
Summit Teaser Leads To Mysterious Website - 10th August
Select influencers within the COD community were sent mystery crates with clues to solve a big easter egg relating to the COD 2020 reveal (check out all easter egg images here).
When these boxes were opened, an update was sent to Black Ops 4 as the teasers eventually led people to explore the map Summit.
Black Ops 4’s in-game description of the multiplayer map Summit, which reads: “Cold War surveillance is at its peak above the clouds in the mountaintop listening post in the Ural Mountains.”
As spotted by Charlie Intel, it’s worth pointing out that the official Treyarch Twitter account has made the mountains behind Summit their new cover image. Could they be teasing the next location for Warzone, maybe? Or a centrepiece of their next story campaign or Zombies mode?
The screens in the centre of the map in Black Ops 4 turned on matched up to what the slides show:

More teasers were found relating to potential locations around the world that correlate to the new clocks in the map.
The new website is PawnTakesPawn.com/tv. This phrase was identified by combining both the teasers in the boxes that were sent out, alongside the teaser posted to Treyarch’s Instagram story on August 10.
The teaser site has a flashing red light that says 08-14 then 12:00.
This site is confirmed to be an Activision website as it as Rating Pending at the bottom with Terms of Use linking back to Activision’s legal language.
Here was the Instagram story that Treyarch posted:
It was confirmed to be only the first step of a much bigger easter egg by Activision.
The next steps are related to the Tangledweb teaser. A new website popped up called pawntakespawn.com/emc2 showing the progress.
Farmland (1961-1962 Reveal) - 14th August
After a five day wait to continue the Easter Egg, players got back to cracking the reveal easter egg.
The Pawn Takes Pawn website played a tape which explains the events of 1961 and 1962.
The VHS player showed a series of numbers, as well as a series of co-ordinates which point to a location in Warzone's Farmland region.
This intel from the VCR has opened a door in the Farmhouse in zone H6 revealing a room filled with clues.
The website was then updated with the next step arriving on the 15th August.
B5 Bunker (1968-1969) - 15th August
Once again, the website was updated to reveal a new date - this time 168-1969.
As the new tape played, the numbers 06, 25, 19, and 16 appeared.
A new set of co-ordinates were also revealed.
The code is for a Bunker located on B5 on the map. Players could use the code 87624851 to open the Bunker.
The 1961-62 tape updated to V.2. It now has updated numbers show up including 08, 37, 15, 25, 60, 48, and 63. New numbers show up in between of the old numbers.
Call of Duty YouTuber NoahJ456 managed to open the bunker that contains a desk, with a bright red phone and an elevator that cannot be entered yet.
Treyarch also added the below image to their Instagram story. Fans have speculated that this could be the same rocket seen on the iconic Launch map from the original Black Ops map!
It's also been noted that every time a new day has been solved/past a new chess piece falls over.
Prison Shack (1972-1973) - 16th August
A tape started playing showing the history from 1972-73. Alongside the new tape, 1968-69 was updated to v2 and 61-62 to v3.
The 1972-73 tape has a blue dot next to it on the site.
The numbers 07, 25, 09, 54, 07, 50, and 02 appeared on the screen.
Version 2 of 1968 and 1969 showed the numbers 24, 25, 18, 12, 19, and 13.
In addition, a new Warzone code was shown for the location H8 and has the passcode 72948531 to unlock the bunker.
The location opens a small shack next to Prison.
Inside this hut, players have found what appears to be half of the famous RCXD; which for those who do not know was a killstreak in Black Ops 1.
There are some new documents on the table including more pieces to the cypher that has to be solved.
Bunker 1 (1977-1978) 17th August
A new teaser has gone live on Pawn takes Pawn.
The new video talks about how the CIA was involved in Mind control experiments.

A series of numbers also flashed on the screen during the video: 03, 02, 07, 08, 05, 01, 07.
The co-ordinates open Bunker 1 at co-ordinates B7 - here's what's inside the bunker.
The new bunker contains more ciphers and the other half of the RC-XD.
Another chess piece has fallen before the final day of teasers.
