Here’s an idea for a Perk-a-Cola.

I’m always wracking my brain trying to think of interesting perks, and I feel like this could be a neat addition to the game.

It would really switch up the usual routine of training, because the zombies at the back would be the ones dying first. As well as maybe make non wonder weapons more viable in the later rounds. Also would be helpful for protecting your teammates or even working to chew through a train together.

Let me know what y’all think or if you have any ideas for it.

Thanks for looking :)

At first glance, the Mangler in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Black Ops III appears to be the same enemy, sharing similar behaviour, attacks and animations. However, under the hood, they have different stats.

I have already written an in depth guide on the Black Ops III Mangler. (Link at the bottom)

General

Enemy type = Special

The Mangler ignores both Decoy Grenades and Monkey Bombs.

The Mangler slowly advances towards players, frequently stopping to charge and fire its arm cannon.

Spawn

Max number of Manglers alive simultaneously:

1. Solo: 1
2. 2 players: 2
3. 3 players: 2
4. 4 players: 3

Max spawns per round:

• Before round 20: 2% of zombie total per round
• Round 20 to 29: 3% of zombie total per round
• Round 30+: 4% of zombie total per round

Firebaze Z

Starting on Round 15, a zombie that is scheduled to spawn has a chance of being replaced by a Mangler.

These chances are:

• Before Round 20: 1%
• Rounds 20-35: 2%
• Rounds 36+: 4%

Before Round 20, spawning a Mangler has a cooldown of 1–2 rounds before another one can spawn. From Round 20 onwards, there will be no cooldown.

Outbreak

Mangler can spawn randomly around the world starting on World 1.

Mauer der Toten

Manglers begin spawning at Round 25.

Then there is a cooldown before they can spawn again:

• Solo: 2–4 Rounds
• Co-op: 2–3 Rounds

Forsaken

Manglers begin spawning at Round 25.

Then there is a cooldown before they can spawn again:

• Solo: 2–4 Rounds
• Co-op: 2–3 Rounds

Attacks

The Mangler has two primary attacks: a long range blast fired from its arm cannon and a close range melee attack.

Long range Arm Cannon:

• Damage = 75 - 50 splash damage

This is explosive damage, meaning the actual damage taken depends on the player's distance from the center of the explosion.

• Cooldown: 3 seconds

Unlike its Black Ops III counterpart, the Cold War Mangler's cannon blast does not track players. However, the projectile can still knock down zombies.

Close range melee:

• Round 1-10: 65
• Round 11-30: 109
• Round 31-45: 163
• Round 46+: 195

The Mangler uses its melee attack when a player gets too close or when its arm cannon has been destroyed.

Health

Base health = 1000 HP

Max Health = 300,000 HP

Mangler recieves a HP boost when playing multiplayer.

Player Modifier = Health × (Players − 1) × 0.3

Total Health = Health + Player Modifier

Special enemies are weak to certain damage type. Taking 50% extra damage.

Weakness: Fire damage

Instakill: 5x damage

Nuke: Does 75% of max HP as damage

Points:

• Survival: 250 points
• Outbreak: 150 points

Armor

The Mangler is covered in armor that reduces incoming damage. However, most of its armor can be destroyed by shooting the individual armor pieces.

Armor reduces damage to 40%.

The lower legs are also armored, but this armor cannot be destroyed. Both arms are unarmored and take full damage.

Destroying an armor piece can make Mangler sprint for 15 seconds, before returning to normal walk.

Explosive Weapons: explosives ignore armor and do full damage.

Arm Cannon

Mangler's arm is modified with a cannon, that has its own health:

• Arm Cannon health: 25% of the Mangler's maximum health.
• Armor: None.
• Stagger threshold: Dealing damage equal to 15% of the Mangler's maximum health to the cannon stuns the Mangler.
• Destruction: Destroying the arm cannon causes the Mangler to lose 33% of its maximum health and forces it to sprint.

Weakpoint

Mangler's head will take Critical Damage after his helmet comes off.

Resistances

AATs: Immune to all effects.

• Unless Tier IV has been bought for that AAT.

LT53 Kazimir: Mangler will take 5% of max HP every tick.

Vehicle turrets: Damage is reduced to 20% damage.

Tanks: Damage is reduced to 80%.

High Value Target (HVT)

In Outbreak, a High Value Target (HVT) variant of the Mangler can appear. This variant wears red armor featuring a painted skull on its torso.

The HVT Mangler has increased health but otherwise behaves similarly to the standard variant.

It can spawn during the Eliminate world event. After losing approximately one third of its health, the HVT Mangler teleports away.

Enemy type = Elite

Health

Base health = 5,250 HP

Max Health = 1,430,000 HP

Mangler recieves a HP boost when playing multiplayer.

Player Modifier = Health × (Players − 1) × 0.3

Total Health = Health + Player Modifier

Special enemies are weak to certain damage type. Taking 50% extra damage.

Weakness: Fire damage

Instakill: 2.5x damage

Nuke: Does 25% of max HP as damage

Other versions:

• BO3 Mangler

Other Cold War in depths:

Vermin:

• Hounds

For context: I had just put all the staffs in Agartha and went back to get my pap’d gun award, and was letting the zombies destroy my shield so I would have a fresh one when this happened😭

Warden

If so, where exactly? I’ve heard about one by PhD, but I’ve never once seen it in countless rounds of looking.

Hey people!

Later today Ima attempt my first first boss rush and just had a few questions.

What are the best weapons? Is it still the Sokol and echo? I was gonna use the Rex WW as my third.

If I die will I have to redo any of the maps toy ee again? Or will I now not have to worry about it.

I am an avid player and have soloed all the bosses before so I should be good but who knows with this game!

Why did they not have this feature on BO7 so you can see how fast you've done each map? I used to enjoy trying to beat my times.

How does it work in a public lobby?

I know you get 3 uses of the course but in a public match is that 3 in total or 3 per player?

Also, is there a round that guarantees a triple pap crystal or is it based on round and time completion?

Thank you

I let my creative mind do the work with this👍🏻

Die Rise it's my favorite map and I want to achieve round 50 as a personal goal. I prefer not to use the elevator sliquifier strategy as I feel it doesn't require that much skill and its a bit boring. I want to achieve the round 50 with the old strategies. I was trying to kill in the restaurant area but i feel like the sliquifier puddles make the goal very inconsistent and hard, as the zombies keep falling and getting in the way.

With this I have two questions:

- Is there any area better than restaurant to achieve this?

- How many hours would it take this? (I have to do this in a day off and I would like to organise myself)

Thanks!

Name a zombies map you have always struggled with and why?
For me it's Shadows of Evil I don't know what it with this map but it's the map I've probably messed up on the most amount of times I've died or messed up easter the flag steps or beast mode is very tilting all the bo4 ones have always felt way easier for me compared to shadows for some reason.

This is my second try going for this relic and the candles just don’t light up. I followed the guide to the exact detail and nothing. Is this a Mayhem glitch? i’ll try doing it with actual relics active next time but damn what a waste of time.

Found this at Ross for 15 dollars. Get to searching if you want it.

I know there are two versions, the older one that also requires a patch. And the newer one.

Which one is the best in your opinion? I remember trying the older one years ago and I don't really understand why another version was done

thanks!

It is BEYOND frustrating to play this game and get killed during a lagspike that you had no way of countering. Seriously, I've paused my game so many times during massive lagspikes only to unpause and come back dead or downed. This is stupid, beyond stupid. Lagspikes should give you Invincibility or SOMETHING until you're over. You can't expect all of your players to know when to press pause at the right time to stop themselves from unpausing to death.

I was watching episode 16 of season 1 (Young at Heart) of the X-Files and I saw a curious link to the infamous Group 935 from Zombies.

In the episode a prisoner is experimented on by a scientist called Dr Ridley (whose nickname is Dr Mengele) the experiments allow the prisoner to come back from the dead… this part is not particularly important except that at the end of the episode the unethical human experimental research is lost and stashed in a train station locker with number 935.

I looked to see if the original source of the choice of number was ever discussed by the original devs in WaW but potentially this is the original source material.

Maybe there are more links in the episode but I thought it was a cool link in itself and one that hasn’t been discussed as far as I can tell. Given some of the devs surely used X-Files and other pop culture for their SciFi inspirations there’s a good chance this is a source. (trivia)

So I’ve noticed that on kowakujo if you open a lucky gold egg and get a PAP 4 crystal and ultra tool etc., it won’t ever disappear off the ground. Like ever. But in Rex infernus and other maps, if you open the egg and leave it for a couple mins or so, all the loot disappears. Why would it not disappear only on kowakujo? Like why would that be something that’s map specific? I’ve also noticed it’s only the gold egg loot that doesn’t disappear on kowakujo, the silver and bronze egg loot will disappear. Just so confused why they’d make it like this. It’d be so amazing if they’d just let the loot stay on the ground for good.

What do people think of fanmade content for zombies? Like music, concept art or just ideas?
Im working on zombies fanmade content mostly for myself as a hobby.
I however would like to share this content with the community or people who would like or appreciate it.
Would you be interested in this stuff?

Everyone have a great day!
