Whether it’s defusing bombs or removing hazardous materials, Antonov is the first Operator in, doing whatever it takes to prove his worth. Available now in the “Tracer Pack: Antonov Operator” bundle.

Narrowly avoiding a life sentence in prison, Antonov joins the Soviet military doing the work no one else wants: bomb defusal and hazmat work.

Available now in Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone™, Antonov joins the Warsaw Pact via the “Tracer Pack: Antonov Operator” bundle. This bundle includes everything you’ll need when deploying to hazardous sites, including Antonov’s own Legendary Operator Skin and two Legendary Weapon Blueprints featuring nuclear tracer fire and dismemberment effects.

Read on to learn more about Antonov’s sordid past, plus details on all the content included in his featured Operator bundle.

Meet Antonov

Full Name: Maxim Antonov

Date of Birth: 10/01/1948

Nationality: Russian

Birthplace: Leningrad, Soviet Union

Faction: Warsaw Pact

Blood Type: B+

First Language: Russian

Service: Spetsnaz

In his hometown of Leningrad, Antonov was a paid killer for the mob, carrying out hits on anyone who crossed their path. When the boss’s son faced a life sentence, Antonov took the fall, sacrificing his own liberty for the good of the family.

Five years into his sentence, Antonov hadn’t peeped a word. In exchange for his loyalty and silence, the mob exerted their influence on his behalf, and had his sentence commuted to forced service in the Spetsnaz.

In an ironic twist of fate, Antonov’s Warsaw Pact allies distrust the ex-con serviceman, but the truth behind his time served will forever be his own secret. It’s a better life than jail, and he stoically accepts the dirty work if it means some sort of freedom.

Assigned to bomb defusal and hazmat work, Antonov is the first in line when entering hazardous sites and considering his violent past, he has no qualms about engaging any and all enemy Operators who stand in his way.
