How to unlock the Top Of The Mountain achievement in Call of Duty: Vanguard - Definitive Guide

To unlock this achievement, you must first unlock an operator. There are (I believe) 9 operators at the time of writing that can be unlocked and a further 2 that can be bought as part of the bundles via the store.

Each operator has a different requirement and as such there isn't necessarily an easiest way to unlock one. For example, I find the 200 SMG kills tequirement easier than the 200 Marksman rifle kills requirement. Scrolling over each operator will show you your current progress to unlocking that operator.

Once you have unlocked an operator, select that operator and keep using him/her until you have reached max level with that operator, popping the achievement. This is the only achievement that you may not naturally get through gameplay as there are specific requirements to unlock operators rather than just playing how you like, which would eventually unlock the achievements for max weapon level and reaching level 55.

Edit 1: Base game operators are Daniel, Wade, Halima, Polina, Solange, Shigenori, Roland, Lucas, Beatrice, Arthur, Constanze, Padmavati.

Edit 2: Operators can be unlocked in Zombies instead, which may be easier. In addition, since progress is shared across your profile, once you've unlocked an operator you can make progress with them in both multiplayer and zombies.

Can anyone tell me what the max level for an operator is, or is it 55 again like your regular multiplayer level?

I believe so. I'm 99% sure when I played zombies yesterday that my Polina operator levelled up after the game so I'm going to say yes.

First thing first, you need to unlock an operator. Until you unlock operators, you will randomly play with any of them but you won't make progress towards their levels.

There are 12 operators and you can unlock them through Multiplayer or Zombies:
  • Daniel: 200 Marksman rifle kills / 2,000 Marksman rifle eliminations
  • Wade: 100 headshots / 250 kills with field upgrades
  • Halima: 50 prone kills / kill 3 Sturmkrieger
  • Polina: 200 sniper kills / 250 critical kills with sniper
  • Solange: 10 double kills / 2,000 eliminations with assault rifles
  • Shigenori: 25 finishing moves / 100 slaughter medals (5 rapid kills)
  • Roland: 300 AR kills / 1,500 kills with pack-a-punched weapons
  • Lucas: 100 hipfire kills / kill 50 boom-schreiers with SMGs
  • Beatrice: 5 kills without dying 10 times / complete 100 portal objectives
  • Arthur: 10 kills with killstreak / Exfil 3 times
  • Constanze: 300 LMG kills / 2,000 kills with LMGs
  • Padmavati: 200 shotgun kills / 20 eliminations with a shotgun without getting hit 50 times
As you can see, the conditions to unlock them are a bit grindy and/or difficult. In addition to that, each of them have a favorite weapon and when playing an operator with their favorite weapon you get Double XP for operators and weapons levels, which is very good.

With that said, I would recommend unlocking Halima as killing 3 Sturmkriegers can be done in only one run in Zombies (it's the big zombies that carry guns, that starts spawning at round 4 or 5). Plus, the MP-40 is her favorite weapon and it's a solid weapon to use on zombie and on mp.

Once you unlock her or any other operator, keep playing with that operator and if possible with their favorite weapon to level up until you reach level 20 which is the max level for operators.

Note: Even though this achievement description specifies "in Multiplayer," be aware that all zombies actions (kills, challenges, etc.) contribute towards this level too.

Note 2: Even though Seasons and the Battle Pass reset every two months, your operator rank does NOT reset with it. You therefore don't have to worry about fulfilling the requirements for this achievement within that two-month period of a single Multiplayer Season.

Before you can even start leveling up with an operator, you will first need to unlock one. Before you unlock an operator, you should decide which gun you want to use for Bling Pro 2.0 (30G), leveling it up to the max level. For example, decide if you prefer to use SMGs, ARs, snipers, etc., and you'll want to stick with the same weapon for many achievements to work towards a weapon's max level for Bling Pro 2.0 (30G). The reason I mention this here is because every operator has a favorite gun - if you tab over to the Operator tab from either the Multiplayer or Zombies menu, you can scroll through all of the operators and see what their favorite weapon is. If you play as an operator and also use their favorite weapon, you get bonus XP for both the operator and the weapon, so it's in your best interest to pair the two together.

Once you've decided on a weapon and its corresponding operator, you'll then need to complete a challenge to unlock that operator. NOTE that every operator has one specific challenge in Multiplayer OR a different specific challenge in Zombies. Pick whichever of the two seems easier or faster, since you'll want to start with your chosen operator and gun as early as possible, since both take a while to level up. For example, I chose the Sten SMG, which is Arthur's favorite gun. I unlocked Arthur by successfully exfiltrating three times in Zombies, so I could use Arthur and the Sten every time I play.

With all of that done, you can finally start (efficiently) working on reaching max level with an operator, which is level 20. As noted above, Zombies mode contributes to this operator level. As a result, if you want to maximize efficiency (and minimize time spent in Multiplayer), it makes sense to first unlock all Zombies achievements with your chosen operator and gun, since all the time you spend in Zombies unlocking those achievements will unavoidably level you up a decent amount. Once that's done, it's up to your personal preference of which mode you prefer to finish leveling up: Multiplayer or Zombies.

In my opinion, Zombies is far easier and faster to level up, but the main disadvantage is that operator challenges for each operator are, for some reason, only available in Multiplayer (no Zombies equivalents). The other bad thing about operator level is that, unlike your overall rank, none of the other challenges (gun challenges or challenges from the Challenges tab) contribute to your operator level. The only things that contribute to your operator level are match XP and operator challenges. So if you play Zombies, it's only the match XP that will go towards your operator level; if you play Multiplayer, you get match XP and the potential to complete challenges too. But it will really come down to if you're good enough in Multiplayer to get good bonuses and complete challenges, or if you're better off just grinding match XP in Zombies.

If you do all Zombies achievements first, depending on when you unlocked your operator, you may be as far as halfway done with this achievement just for finishing the Zombies achievements (I was Operator Level 10, and I didn't even unlock my operator as early as I could have). From there, focus on challenges in whichever mode you prefer, and be prepared to spend multiple hours in each mode, until you finally finish and reach level 20.

There are only 20 levels for each of the performers; to open them you need to fulfill a condition for each. Like kill 1500 zombies with a machine gun or 2000 zombies with a machine gun.

to get 20 faster, you need to complete additional tasks (displayed to the right of the selected character) And also take the performer’s favorite weapon (each has his own)
