Black Ops Terminal Cheat Codes: Unlock Rewards and Secret Easter Eggs

You can escape the main menu of Black Ops to reach a computer terminal, where you can enter special codes and commands. Some of these inputs grant permanent rewards (including the Zombies map FIVE), while others are purely for amusement or come with extra story flavor tied to both the Campaign and Zombies modes. Below is a complete rundown of every code and what each one does.

Breaking Out of the Main Menu and Reaching the Terminal

From the main menu screen—where Alex Mason is restrained in a chair and you can choose between Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies—you can force your way out. Just keep tapping L2 and R2 to break free, and you’ll be able to move around the room.

Behind the chair is a computer terminal. You can access it by pressing Square. Once you’re at the keyboard, you can type a set of commands and cheats; these are listed below.

Computer Logins: Users, Password Prompts, and Credentials

If you type “LOGIN” and press Enter, the terminal prompts you to sign in as a “USER”, followed by a “PASSWORD.” There are multiple usernames and passwords available, and each one is tied to its own distinct list of emails you can read. That list even includes some deeper secrets connected to UFO lore.

Dreamland Server Access and What You Can Read

After running the command “RLOGIN DREAMLAND”, three users are able to access the Dreamland server. These users are the following:

Inside the Dreamland server, you can type “DIR” or “LS” to reveal unique files, including both images and text documents. You can then open a file using “CAT” (for example: CAT giant1.txt).

The Dreamland server also lets you read emails and view texts and images, and all of that content is tied directly to Zombies.
