Black Ops 6 Zombies looks to be bringing players back to undead slaying in a big way, with many classic features returning, and Treyarch behind the wheel. Zombies has become increasingly important to Call of Duty releases over time, with last year’s mode adding in an open-world map and several new features. This year’s offering definitely takes things back to basics, continuing the storyline last seen in Call of Duty Cold War, while adding in new weapons such as theBlack Ops 6 Jackal PDW.Now that Treyarch has detailed much of what we can expect from Black Ops 6 Zombies, we can start to take a look at what’s being added alongside the other modes inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6at launch. Here’s everything we know about Zombies in Black Ops 6 so far, including a look at the launch maps, the story, and some of the key gameplay features set to be included.Note that although Zombies appears as an option when connecting to theBlack Ops 6 beta, this mode will not be unlocked until the release of the full game.Black Ops 6 Zombies maps(Image credit: Activision)There are two confirmed maps for Black Ops 6 Zombies at launch:Terminus, andLiberty Falls. Terminus is a dark and spooky setting, located in the Philippine Sea, and holds a top secret CIA base at its center. Liberty Falls, on the other hand, is a bright slice of Americana, set in West Virginia. With a huge Dark Aether outbreak turning the majority of the locals into monsters, you’ll need to tread carefully around gas stations, suburban homes and other once-quaint areas.Black Ops 6 Zombies characters(Image credit: Activision)Treyarch has revealed the main cast of characters that’ll appear in the Zombies Mode. Firstly, we haveGrigori Weaver, who is no stranger to the Black Ops franchise.Elizabeth Greyis back, and sporting a much tougher resolve, as isCarver, who is determined to right the terrible injustices committed as part of the Dark Aether programme.Straussis back, though visibly rattled after his incarceration, whileMaya Aguinaldois here to set the rest of the team free, kicking off the events of the game’s Zombies mode.Black Ops 6 Zombies gameplay details(Image credit: Activision)Thanks to arecent blog postpublished alongside a huge amount of beta information, we have some key details on what to expect from Black Ops 6 Zombies gameplay:You’ll be able to bring yourbest Black Ops 6 loadoutsinto ZombiesThere’s aDirected Modefor those wanting to be lead through the storyEvery Zombies map will have a multi-part main quest100 confirmed Augments allow players to boost Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Field UpgradesGobblegumsreturn for the first time since Black Ops 3Each map will feature its own Wonder Weapons, including the Ray GunZombies will be divided intoBipedal Shamblers,Grotesques, andAbominationsEssenceandSalvageare the two main resources and CurrenciesEaster Eggs are back, and are disabled in Directed ModeOmnimovement is included in Black Ops 6 Zombies ModeTheCrafting Tablewill allow players to craft support equipment like grenadesRampage Inducer Crystalswill cause Zombies to appear and move more quickly for the first 20 rounds.
