Russian Tanker Hat

The Russian Tanker Hat is a special item featured in Blackout within Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It is used to unlock Nikolai Belinski as a playable character.

Overview
The Russian Tanker Hat is located at a fixed spawn location within the graveyard south of the Asylum, located in a locked mausoleum in the north end of the graveyard. In order to open the door, the player must find a Cymbal Monkey and throw it at the locked door, causing the monkey to activate and explode, breaking open the door and revealing the hat. When the player obtains the item, they will start the Character Mission to unlock Nikolai. The challenge requires the player to reach a placement of tenth in Solo, fifth in Duos, and third in Quads, as well as to finish the match with the Russian Tanker Hat in the player's inventory. Upon returning the lobby after completing the requirements, the player will be rewarded with Nikolai as a playable character.
