[b][u]Round Based Zombies: Overview and Recap[/u][/b] With two Round-Based Zombies maps at launch, and a third map arriving before the end of the year, the time has come to fully prepare for tackling the terrors of Terminus, Liberty Falls, and this extensive game mode! Past Blogs have covered many aspects, gameplay systems, and innovations in Zombies. Here’s a recap related to all of this, before we confirm all the launch content, including a Loadout Overview, unlockable Augments, Equipment, and full list of GobbleGums available at launch.

Read on for all the details. [b][u]Zombies Launch Updates from Treyarch[/u][/b] [b]Liberty Falls Updates[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/c57cdbfcc3bb8000743cbb150696113ca7890ead.jpg[/img] Since the debut of early gameplay footage at Call of Duty NEXT back in August, the Zombies team at Treyarch has continued to iterate on the look, feel, and sound of Liberty Falls to crank up the map’s creepiness factor. Heading into launch, players can expect a moodier visual tone to the map, along with gorier set dressings and new environmental audio to more intensely reflect the chaos of a [i]very [/i]recent dimensional breach. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/51e90ce04f823046f43656df2a8ccf0242d7ccb8.jpg[/img] [u]Additional atmospheric elements related to the map’s Main Quest will also be present throughout Liberty Falls as players begin to solve the mysteries waiting for them in the wake of the undead incursion. And of course, there might be a brand-new Easter Egg song from Treyarch’s Kevin Sherwood to discover along the way...[/u] [b]HUD Touch-ups[/b] The UI team has also continued to update the game’s modular HUD, touching up some of the Zombies-specific elements that can appear across most HUD preset options and adding new settings. These updates include: [list] [*]Character portraits added to the lower-left corner by default[/*] [*]General alignment and color adjustments made across the entire HUD[/*] [*]Perk icons now positioned closer together[/*] [*]Zombies-specific widgets added for certain in-game actions[/*] [*]In-game GobbleGum reward animation added[/*] [*]Visibility sliders added to allow players to fine-tune or completely disable additional HUD elements, including Score Feed, Medals & Notifications, Minimap Opacity, Weapon & Equipment Information, and more.[/*][/list] [b][u]Terminus Island Recon[/u][/b] [b]Terror Island: A Tour of Terminus[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/831361f7958001c1e745c71a47158b2877c7ed24.jpg[/img] From the long disused mining tunnels to its use as a WWII resupply depot, to the structures built as part of a shuttered CIA Blacksite, there’s a wealth of discoveries to be made across Terminus Island. Given the more recent evidence of heinous biological experimentations led by the nefarious Project Janus group, our newly freed Requiem crew will need to stay on their toes. [b]Cells and Guard Station[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/39c13f2b7c0b4a6b421a7578088f05d638ed4e06.jpg[/img] At the top of the prison sits a series of Holding Cells where the Requiem crew have been biding their time for the last half decade. The paint is peeling, the ducts are rusting, and there’s an odd smell coming from one of the air vents. Adjacent is the Guard Station where your handlers (Peck and Strauss) have barricaded themselves, as well as a lower interrogation room, with the remnants of a torture session still visible. [b]Security Overlook and Control Center[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/8dfce1e33967cf477455e8e9d8a8d4d110086d2b.jpg[/img] A cracked concrete overlook lies below a guard tower, which leads to a two-level control center with monitor banks and a well-stocked armory. Further down the embankment the prison is built on, the remains of a Project Janus Communications structure seem to have been well-maintained, until the recent incursion. [b]Living Quarters, Storage, and Mess Hall[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/3546afd2259b190cccd26b2a787dcc9904d82a4a.jpg[/img] The large storage area leads down an unloading ramp to the Rec yard, and on either side is an older structure built in 1942, when the U.S. Navy established a Resupply Base on the island. Nearby is an Engineering room, stocked with electronics and tables to tinker on. [b]Sea Tower[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/7e11c36540fcfc8524793c11e2bdaa9c768bb848.jpg[/img] Explore the Dark Aether Reactor (DAR) Sea Tower, a gun emplacement atop an octagonal tower, with attached metal ramps and gantries (and an ascender) all the way down to the gigantic concrete footings. [b]Gun Battery Platform[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/bce850f0714aec8f1d4d246fe3c5476f15754b0d.jpg[/img] A massive WWII vintage gun emplacement rests atop a thick concrete platform, seemingly modified by Project Janus in recent years as part of an unusual experiment. [b]Sea Caves and Mining Tunnels[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/857ef14dc58cd1e1ffb49bd0562f3ea44647e6d5.jpg[/img] Below the outer areas of the island prison are a pair of subterranean tunnels, one naturally occurring, and the other man-made, dug out toward the end of the 19th century, when the island’s long-mined out coal reserves were being greedily exploited. [b]Bio Lab[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/58338a1e9d1f5648839beea078d9e9d77d972f97.jpg[/img] An impressive feat of engineering awaits on the island; a large sea cave has been completely hollowed out, and a large-scale secret research facility has been constructed within the cavern walls. Multi-level gantry walkways and stairs are clamped to the outer walls, and what appears to be an experimentation chamber lies within. [b]Inclined Lift and Maglev Elevator[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/507ba28e9a9ad07a885d0e457c197a0a4cb42448.jpg[/img] Though the Bio Lab is set within a huge cavern, it has multiple pathways outward thanks to an Inclined Lift that periodically trundles up to the top level behind the living quarters. Further around the Bio Lab gantries is an operational Project Janus-constructed Maglev Elevator. [b]Shipwreck[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/20b4d7e94002b885de7f6bac57c7037aea9aba57.jpg[/img] Despite the radar buoys in close proximity, the remains of a shipping tanker indicate just how treacherous the waters around Terminus Island are. Slowly rusting from stern to prow, the salt waters have eaten away at the hull, though the main deck is still seemingly accessible. [b]The Outer Islands[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/cc5442e2f88b0347157359bdef7214d4af9e8dc8.jpg[/img] To the northwest is Temple Island, with its odd pillar-like carvings. Due east is Castle Rock Island, named after the natural stone edifice jutting from the tidal sands that appears to be an old fortification. The largest of the three outcrops is Crab Island, where Project Janus disposal crews would discard the remains of their science team’s unwholesome experiments. The seas around Terminus Island are also home to something more foreboding: a terror in the water, writhing up from an irradiated cloud and violently attacking those that remain outside the confines of the prison for too long… [b][u]Liberty Falls Recon[/u][/b] [b]Almost Hell, West Virginia: A Tour of Liberty Falls[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/0f9ee35e9d416b91ed441a5b9ee4c0dc767f8f4b.jpg[/img] The atmosphere of Liberty Falls, which takes place concurrently with the aftermath of the dimensional breach over on Terminus Island, feels a world away from the dark, stormy waters of the Philippine Sea and the massive concrete prison Grigori Weaver and his crew are fighting to escape from. Players must explore the once-idyllic, now horrific small West Virginian town of Liberty Falls, whose residents have either fled or barricaded themselves into the settlement in a last desperate attempt to survive. By the time you arrive – under the watchful eye of Project Janus Security Chief John Blanchard – the town is overrun, and the battle seems well and truly lost. Here’s a closer look at the Liberty Falls locations you’ll be able to explore: [b]Pump & Pay[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/74e9f3427245098e56d8b7c1035ee4b5547f5de8.jpg[/img] You begin your battles against the swarms of rotting townspeople from a gas station rooftop vantage point. This soon becomes a disadvantage when you realize how nimble zombies are at reaching you. If you’re a glutton for punishment, switch on the Rampage Inducer here to speed up the action. Otherwise, descend to the ground and bear witness to the true horrors that have befallen this cursed hamlet. [b]Motor Lodge[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/5487adbc2a17d2ec04b552adbb923bde8c52df56.jpg[/img] The ironically named Rest E-Z Motor Lodge is one of the first structures you’ll investigate after scrambling down from the gas station. Partly ablaze with the word “HELP” daubed across the roof, this is seemingly an epicenter of zombie activity, with shambling horrors crashing out of rooms on the ground and upper floors. [b]Olly’s Comics [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/4599fb221526192b06022db66cd15612394809dc.jpg[/img] In the southern corner of town is the local comic shop run by Olly. Best not think about what happened to him. The shop caters to the true collector, with both the latest and back issues of “Charged Up,” “Heavy Space,” and “Odd Stories” on sale at reasonable prices. But most folks come here for the life-sized statue of Aetherella to pose with, star of the comic line of the same name. [b]Fuller’s Liberty Lanes [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/87e664e9872a800859ff546d951e9e6464cf19b5.jpg[/img] An old-fashioned bowling alley comprised of a snack bar and small arcade has been overrun with the undead. The lanes themselves seem to be just wide enough to herd larger zombie hordes without getting trapped and ripped apart... but looks can be deceiving. [b]Savings & Loan [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/3e50c1cec0aa7ab08ba336c2f572dc991acbc6b2.jpg[/img] The Bank of Liberty Falls is a grand stone edifice and seems to have been well barricaded before the baying hordes overran the place. That’s not to say this a safe place to visit, but it’s centrally located with fine marbled floors, only somewhat tarnished by the wreckage, strewn debris, and unpleasant fluids. [b]Holy Falls Church [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/67bca1bab02be6b50a0c353953cd7bac08d97332.jpg[/img] This neo-gothic house of worship becomes more terrifying the further inside you investigate it. Placed on a plateau at the highest point in town, a dimensional anomaly seems to have fully enveloped the interior. [b]“The Alamo” [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/5d0e925fb864f6c6a8baa942bcabfa20b4ae0ed0.jpg[/img] Judging by the sandbags, razor wire and other defenses, the bank's rooftop is where the last surviving members of the Project Janus response teams made their last stand. You'll find everything you need here.... [b][u]Augments Overview[/u][/b] Equip Augments to your Perk-A-Colas, Ammo Mods and Field Upgrades to modify their performance. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/123e9b7f24d45dc2307ac401964ab8e1da48b836.jpg[/img] [b]Recap: [/b]Augments are unlockable gameplay advantages you can apply to every Perk-a-Cola, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade in the game, and provide a rich and innovative customization experience, allowing you to invest into research between matches.

This unlocks at Player Level 11. Once you research and unlock individual Augments, they can be chosen before the start of a match for each individual Perk, Ammo Mod, or Field Upgrade. To start researching an Augment, simply select which item you’d like to research in the menu and start earning XP in-game to make progress toward unlocking the Augment. [list] [*]Each item has two available Augment slots: one for a Major, and one for a Minor Augment.[/*] [*]Expect three Major Augments to choose from, per item. A Major Augment offers a substantial advantage to the behavior of the item, usually during use.[/*] [*]Expect three Minor Augments to choose from, per item. A Minor Augment offers a limited advantage to the item, usually during use.[/*][/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/4db766689bed173a14be0526c7214cfa10924619.jpg[/img] The depth of the Augments customization experience becomes apparent as you learn the different effects of each Augment, and how they stack and affect other upgrades across the game. This subsequently allows you to customize your Augments for your style of play, whether solo or squad-based. [list] [*]If you’ve played a particular role in your squad – as a healer for example – you may already have a good idea of which Augments you should search for, unlock, and employ along with other related power-ups to optimize your team’s dynamics and survivability![/*][/list] [b][u]Perk-A-Colas (8) and Augments (48)[/u][/b] [i]Currency to access Perk-a-Colas: Essence[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/cbb705dd74cec4ddf83766eb4b1d6d3a488340d6.jpg[/img] [b]Recap: [/b]If you’re after a tasty beverage that also has the benefit of granting abilities to aid you and your teammates’ survival chances, then get ready to hunt down your preferred vending machines, as Perk-a-Colas are back and with more of a kick than ever: For Black Ops 6 Zombies, every Perk-a-Cola can comes with up to six Augment options to choose from (three Minor, three Major). [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/4f9695be5a675cda5d4727874bb54a453bbdf262.jpg[/img] Perks are purchased in-game using Essence and have been designed to offer a wide variety of bonuses that suit your style of play, allowing you to choose the order and number you need. Each time you purchase a new Perk, the Essence cost increases, and your Perk collection – displayed along the bottom of your HUD – lasts as long as you do: If you’re downed, expect to lose Perks depending on how many you’ve obtained, and how long you’re downed for.
