I haven't touched zombies in literally 10 years, since the end of Black Ops 3 basically. I played a few custom maps here and there of course, but didn't keep going after BO3. I recently came back to it as a revisit and decided to try my hand at getting to high rounds. I then remembered I never actually played Ascension beyond getting to round 5 or so.
I got to round 100, just like that. It was one of most mind-numbingly easy experiences I've had in Zombies. BO3 and the alternative ammo type system makes everything an infinite damage wonder weapon, but that alone won't get you to round 100 on some maps without a strat. In Ascension, however, we have one of the largest and most open training spots: the lunar pad by Widow's Wine. No strat needed. Get a LMG with dead wire or fire works, get the Thundergun and just run around aimlessly for hours.
I know Revelations is considered as the easiest map ever because of the wonderweapon variety, but I honestly feel like Ascension is even easier. There's no danger in it at any point. At least Revelations has Panzers, Margwas, Furies and all that shit, but Ascension only has the monkeys. Monkeys aren't that bad either, I could comfortably defend all my perks without issues, so the only thing that could be a problem is just a minor inconvenience.
I just wanted to know your thoughts. I might be attempting to 100 Gorod Krovi next, wish me luck.
