How to unlock the My Home is the Arena achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - Definitive Guide
Pretty simple to do and easiest in Solo. I recommend playing as the Berserker as the Hammer is a fantastic weapon. This can be done on Casual difficulty. This can not be done in custom games.
The idea of this is to get to round 20 without opening any doors. It sounds hard but it's pretty easy.
First activate a banner challenge on round 1. To do this, go to one of the four rolled up banners around the arena and knife the rope next to it. This will unroll the banner and give you a series of challenges.
When you do one, turn it in at the podium in the middle of the arena. Complete 3 challenges and you'll get a PaP Pistol. This pistol is an absolute machine and will make your life much easier. This pistol is also the one on the wall in the arena so you can get ammo for it.
If you get any challenges that require you to leave the Arena before getting the PaP pistol just quit and reload.
Once you have the PaP gun, the aim is to train around the arena an kill when you can. The main issue you will have will be the special zombies that spawn, the pistol can make easy work of them but the specials do have high range. Also the tigers can one hit kill so focus on them.
Don't worry about going down as you get 3 self revives. Obviously try to stay alive as long as possible as the will be more useful in the last few rounds.
Keep hold of your special (LB+RB)until it's needed as it can take some time to recharge it.
Just do basic zombie training and be smart about it and this will be no issue at all.

Did this on split-screen and nothing :(

Hmm strange, maybe splitscreen caused it to not unlock?
I haven't played Splitscreen on this so I'm unsure how it affects it

I advise starting off by slicing down a challenge banner right away and start working on your challenges.
As long as you don't get the "Slide Under A Blade Trap" challenge you will be able to complete the first 3 while staying inside the challenge area.
When you do that you will recieve a PaP pistol "Z-HARMONY" which I used all the way to round 20. It's very powerful compared to any other option and you can buy ammo off the wall of the challenge podium to stay stocked up throughout.

I am posting this as a reference guide for anyone who may be having trouble or is just new to zombies in general. You just need to get to round 20 you do not have to beat round 20 and you cannot open anything. Doing this solo is easiest. Also, you can set the difficulty to casual.
Step 1 go over and knife one of the ropes holding the banners to activate the challenges which will end up getting you the Z-Harmony once you complete 3 challenges. If any of your 3 challenges require you to open anything up simply restart the game and try for different challenges. After each challenge go up to the podium and claim your reward to start the next challenge. I got knife zombies, headshot kills, and special weapon kills.
Step 2 always try to have 4500 points on you that way you can walk over and get ammo off the wall. Even though the Z-Harmony is a modified version you can still buy ammo for it from off the wall.
Step 3 train your zombies. For anyone new to this watch in my video how in the later rounds I take paths around the arena and get all the zombies lined up to follow. This will help with points when you shoot because bullets will penetrate as well as buy you time to kill them off.
Step 4 once tigers come always get rid of them as quick as possible. Shouldn’t be hard to do but you want to get rid of them quick because they can ruin your trains.
Step 5 when the armored guards come don’t stand in one spot too long, unload some bullets on them and then move so they can’t hit you or harm you. They will take more shots then regular zombies so just keep moving and be patient.
Step 6 when the daddy long leg creature comes make sure to shoot the humps on his back. He can shoot his tongue out so do not stand still at any point. Shoot while running always!
Helpful Tips
Nukes are your best friends
If you get trapped in a spot because of fire don’t panic, you should have enough room to train in that area as I show in the video at times.
Avoid the center podium at all times unless an emergency its not going to help your trains and will break them.
Never buy anything but ammo or guns from the wall, opening any of the gates will void the achievement.
Get a feel for the fire timing and patterns to help you with your trains and not getting stuck or hurt.
If you go down don’t panic you have 3 revives, so don’t stress I promise you can obtain this achievement just follow my steps and video and you will have it in about 30 to 35 minutes or less.
If you need any help, please message me I am glad to help!
Load up the zombie map IX and try to survive till round 20 on the very first area where you spawn in, since it is a decent open area that is a big circle, it shouldn't be too hard since you will be running around a big circle bunching up zombies, Make sure you pick up the starting weapons in the area to get a good beat on the zombies.
There will be a bunch of zombies including.
Regular
Tigers
Rushers (Those big guys with the claws that rush at you)
Axemen (Big guys with 2 axes that throw a axe at you)
Elemental zombies (Toxic, electric, Ice, Fire ect ect)
Spider (big fucked zombies that spit balls at you)
ect ect.
Also there will be 4 metal strips that will spit fire and will damage you if you run into it, zombies will not take damage from this.
Every zombie can be counted by running a circle and shooting them while running.
Also I would like to point out that those big guys that throw axes at you kill zombies if the zombies get in front of them while they throw their axes.
Whatever you do. DO NOT open one of the gates on the outside (there will be 4 big gates that will lead to the large temples. Do not open them, just keep running and gunning, you will earn enough points for ammo easy. Every 6 or so rounds there will be a special round that will spawn in tigers or large guys or both only. Don't go in the gates where they spawn because it is covered in toxic gas and it will kill you or down you depending on how many lives you have.
Also again I would like to point out, this does not work with bots because they will automatically open the gates and it will void the trophy (I think)
As " MineTrapCraft " suggested that I forgot to add. Always save up your specialist weapon for the big runners, axe guys and spider zombies. Once you kill enough zombies to charge up the weapon, press LB and RB to activate and go ham on them or a bunch of zombies.
I think I covered the basics. I will have to play more and if I do find something else. I will update this solution. Don't be a moron like me and die on the 19th round.

You can luckily do this solo on easy, but yeah, bots do ruin it for you. I found this super useful by using the Pack-a-Punched Strife, the Z-Harmony. Good guide, either way. +1 from me.
By CrumpetOfDojima on 16 Oct 2018 19:55
Yeah the Strife is the key to make this 10 times easier but OP decided to not include it even after I mention it. No +1 from me until he adds it.

This one may sound difficult as normally you'd be restricted to very weak weapons in the first area but if you complete the first 3 challenges you’ll have access to the Pack-a-Punched Strife, which is good enough to get you to Round 20, plus you can endlessly buy ammo off the wall. Start the game and immediately knife the rope on a banner to start the challenges, the first two should be simple, for the third you'll need to get the challenge for getting ten kills with special weapons. If you don't, restart. Once you have the gun it's a matter of surviving, if you're a zombies veteran you shouldn't have issue but if you're new, the main tactic is to kite/train the zombies into a large group before mowing them down, since the start area is a big circle it is fairly easy to do this. You only need to survive to Round 20 so once you hit that, the achievement will unlock.

You need to hold out until round 20 without opening the doors in the very first location. I advise you to take the staff of life as a special weapon, which slows down the zombies you fall into from it.

You need to hold out until wave 20 inclusive. I recommend taking a hammer, it hits the front and smashes everyone. As a weapon, I could take a shotgun or a discord with a bayonet. + you can take 3 bots with you. If they open the doors and come out, don't worry. The main thing is not to leave the arena.
PS The hint is relevant for all maps with a similar trophy.
