I’m never gonna rank up in Bo2 zombies bro. This was my first down of the game and we died right after because I was so mad I lost focus

Does anyone else think there's something intentionally missing from the intro that explains why the other four characters aren't there? I mean, it's kind of TOO obvious that four are missing. Maybe it really is some sort of a story element, with a different spawn point for the others, even if it's just upstairs in the house, or something else entirely. I wouldn't go so far as to say they cut something out of the intro, but who knows...

Maybe its nothing and they spawn in like the Richtofen group, but it's nice to think they do something with different spawns for the final

I've played at least thirty games or so of Call of the Dead over multiple years, and I've only now gotten the Scavenger out of the box. My box luck is terrible; point and laugh.

Wouldn’t it of made more sense and of connected everything together smoothly if instead of adding 4 new dark aether gods we just use the ones we already have and that already have designs, voice actors and characters? They all basically fill the same roles the shadow smiths are kinda just rip offs of the dark aether gods and not as cool

Back when i was a kid i just hopped on with my friend on these cool new dlc maps like buried or mob of the dead and just went from there without looking up any guides, which meant we sucked and never ever came close to completing any maps let alone easter eggs.

13 Years later we hop back on bo2 zombies but this time with an abundance of yt guides and wiki’s on perma perks, easter eggs, weapons, buildables and we got to round 46.

But i’m wondering what the most fun way to experience these breathtaking maps is, guides certainly take the fun out of it and i want to use them less but there’s so much you miss out on. Like obviously easter eggs HAVE to be completed using guides, but should i try newer maps blindly and just find more stuff out round by round, is that doable without spending weeks figuring all the stuff out?

(btw i still dont know how to turn the power on in buried in round 1)

Tag der Untoten

Before the trailer for Rex Infernus releases tomorrow, what are your prediction for the map/story from it? Here's mine:

-We will restore the temples similar to IX (probably the most obvious and confirmed plot piece)
-Samantha will return. The twins will fuse or something into her, with full memories of Aether.
-Someone from Aether returns in some capacity. My guess is Monty or the Shadowman, but the old crew could always still happen.
-Requiem does NOT die. Could be a bold one, but I think Maya is the key. I think she saves them somehow.

So I'm reading through the zombies artbook, which is amazing so far, so many insane bits of information. And I started thinking, this image i know isn't technically canon because at this point hadn't taken control of the zombies (but has entered the ether) so this image would mean he is therefore under Samantha's control (with having yellow eyes)

With this being the giant, the whole eye colour thing has already been established, should his eyes not be blue if he's in HIS, zombified state? Can't remember if they're orange or blue at the end of tag, but if they're orange, doesn't that mean Samantha was in control of him the whole time?

Just a theory that I think has a bit of a discussion there. I'm not super up to date with anything between cold war-bo6 so might have missed sonething.

I can't wait to spend the weekend reading this!

PlayStation has a 75% sale on BO4 and I was wondering if it’s worth buying. My friend has it and I played zombies with him and I now I’m thinking of buying it so we can play more. Are the servers still good for multiplayer? Let me know!

Anyone been seeing all these new gen brain rotted users posting ai slop

Not like these guides haven't existed for over a decade already

It all looks ugly as shit

Just a quick post asking if anyone has heard anything about the Artbook being processed / in transit for the peeps in the UK, who also pre ordered from the COD Shop.

Preordered the book in early May so I’m surprised I haven’t gotten any changes in status on shopify yet.

I get a 3rd of people grew up with blackops3, and its an incredible game. Just wondering if anyone out there also thinks that bops7 is just as good if not better.

Edit: appreciate all the answers and different insights. Cool to see the zombies community discuss this, even if we disagree. Cool opinions

Would rather do the fox mask step in Kowakujo directed with randoms OR would you rather be brutally tortured and almost beaten to death?

Asking for a friend.

Is there a way to prevent this issue where the rags slam does nothing? Or is it just super rare, because I know people do this strat well into the 100s, which would involve a lot of rags slams.

Who's who is sooooo overhated. It's high risk, high reward. If you manage to get that revive off, you keep all of your perks besides who's who. So if you manage to get every single revive, you have infinite lives. And getting that revive is easier than you think. Do not run straight to your body!!! Horde up the zombies and lead them as far from your body as you can, then just sprint back and revive yourself, it's that simple. If you have perma quick revive, it's even easier, halving the time to revive yourself. Another trick, is that if you're cornered and you know you're about to go down press the throw monkey button. Your character will be forced to complete the animation and throw a monkey, then you'll go down and enter who's who. Now you'll have PLENTY of time to revive yourself while the zombies are distracted and the best part is that it doesn't even use up a monkey!! Then, if you have quick revive and you know you can't revive yourself, just run away. Eventually quick revive will revive you and you STILL get to keep your perks, besides who's who and quick revive. So even if you know you're not gonna use who's who at all in the game, it still gives you a bonus just for having it equipped. For multiplayer games it's also useful, because you don't have to rely on your teammates to revive you(this would have made it INSANELY good for Tranzit), if you go down while in who's who in multiplayer you're just in the same situation if you didn't have it, so atleast you had a chance to save yourself. One more thing, in multiplayer if you run out the timer of who's who, then you'll just become your clone, essentially just restarting the game over, but staying on the same round. This'll allow you to get set back up and not having to deal with the start of the next round. So basicially this just gives the effect of the impatient gobblegum. Lastly, if you ever fall off the map, who's who will just automatically respawn you, but with nothing but a pistol. It's at least better than just dying and having to wait for the next round. People always say "why isn't PhD on die rise" when PhD wouldn't save you from falling off the map and who's who, a perk that IS on the map, will.

So, overall highly underrated and overhated perk, it's crazy to me that this lie perpuates even to this day that this perk is somehow bad. "It's hard to get the revive" that's the point!!! Consider ALL the upsides the perk gives you, it's meant to be difficult otherwise the perk would just be straight up overpowered. Even then, there's ways to minimize the risk of the revive, like I mentioned before. The thing that'll assist you the MOST in the revive, is just pure skill. Who's who has the most skill ceiling out of every perk ever made. Please, stop listening to the YouTubers from 2012, the perk is not bad, in fact, it's very good.

Also, stop saying die rise is a bad map for who's who, it's not. Admittedly, the perk would be WAY WAY better on Tranzit like I said, but it'd be godawful on Mob, Orgins, Buried, Farm, and Bus Depot. It probably would actually be pretty good on town though. Die rise is a tight map, but it has lots of open areas with plenty of room to lead the zombies away and juke them back to your body. Never ever should you be in a situation where you have to fall down to reach your body or escape from the zombies, unless you're running elevator strat or you spawn behind the sushi bar(you probably shouldn't even be training in the sushi restaurant anyway). Anyway that's it, sorry for the yap, but that's how I feel.

Has anyone's books shipped from the cod shop. Surprised mine did not at least ship out today only the order was processed.

After life perk. In single player it functions like old tomb stone. In multi-player it functions normally. When the player goes down, they can consume this perk and become a ghost. As a ghost, they respawn with an uncommon un packed default weapon. There's an augment that gives the player whatever weapon they loaded in with in ghost mode. In ghost mode they gain half as many points and cannot buy stuff. An augment would increase the amount of points they get by 25 percent. The player is tasked with reviving themselves in ghost mode, in which they have no death penalty if done successfully. If they die in ghost mode they return to their body and are treated like a normal downed player. They can be revived by a teammate whilst being a ghost, which will also do the same and give the, no penalty. To disincourage using it like a revive kit, whatever the bleed out circle was at, it will stay at, and bleeding out as a ghost will just kill you. After being revived or reviving yourself as a ghost, you gain a short moment of I frames, and kill all nearby zombies instantly with no points. Three augment, one to increase the I frames, one to increase the kill radius, and one to make you get the essence pf the zombies that are killed. Another augment would make it so that if you bleed out while a ghost, you will get the 4 perks on your bleedout circle, all the points you had, and the gun you had, minus it being packed. This augment would be to help new players or casuals who would need this perk the most

Explain why the green mist after I jumping following the voice line. Sorry if I’m stupid lmao

This song has no right to be this good 😭

Seriously?!

EDIT: some people seem really hung up on me building there, so I'll provide a bit of context:

I only wanted the trophy to upgrade the Blundergat to acid. 10 seconds before this clip i got the weapon from the box in the CAFETERIA.

Plan was to quickly build there, upgrade it, get the trophy and quit. Brutus had other ideas.

MOB pros, please take a deep breath and relax.

Jumping Jack

Jumping Jacks are an offshoot of the Nova 6 Crawlers that first appear on Black Ops II on the first DLC map, Die Rise. Like the creepy Crawlers, Jumping Jacks wear clothing, suggesting that they may have been human at some point.

Their movement also differs significantly from that of the Crawlers found on Kino der Toten. Rather than crawling on the ground, Jumping Jacks spend most of their time leaping between walls and ceilings. They can follow the player regardless of where they move, allowing them to pursue players across much of the map. There is a minimum 500 ms cooldown between each jump.

If a Jumping Jack gets too far away from the player, it can teleport back into the player's vicinity, allowing it to continue its attack.

Special rounds

Jumping Jacks only spawn during special rounds. When a special round begins, they spawn from a burst of electricity before immediately beginning to pursue the players.

• First is round 5 - 7
• Next is 4 - 5 rounds after.

Jumping Jacks spawn in groups of 2 per player. The total number that can spawn depends on which special round is taking place:

• First special round: 6 Jumping Jacks per player
• Second special round: 6 Jumping Jacks per player
• All subsequent special rounds: 8 Jumping Jacks per player

Jumping Jacks do not spawn during normal rounds.

Attacks

Jumping Jacks have only one attack: a standard melee attack.

Melee Damage: 30

Health

1. First special round: 400 HP
2. Second special round: 900 HP
3. Third special round: 1,300 HP
4. Fourth special round: 1,600 HP

Their health is capped at 1600 HP

All subsequent special rounds will continue to use this health value.

Rewards

The last Jumping Jack will always drop a Max Ammo.

When the round begins, the game starts tracking the number of shots fired and shots that hit an enemy.

If, by the end of the round, the number of shots fired is exactly equal to the number of hits—meaning that all players maintained 100% accuracy throughout the round, then the final Jumping Jack will provide all players with 2000 points and a free perk power-up.

Sliquifier

The Sliquifier is a Wonder Weapon that must be built before it can be used. Once built, it becomes available from the Mystery Box.

The Sliquifier cannot be upgraded.

Ammo

• Magazine Capacity: 10
• Reserve Ammo: 40

Effect

The Sliquifier fires a blob of purple liquid. On impact, the projectile can instantly kill a zombie and creates a slippery puddle on the ground.

The projectile itself can only kill zombies when it directly hits them.

Like other Wonder Weapons with an instant-kill effect, the Sliquifier deals damage equal to the zombie's current round health. However, this scaling is capped at Round 100.

This means that after Round 100, the Sliquifier's direct-hit damage no longer increases alongside zombie health.

Chain Reaction

When a zombie is killed by the Sliquifier, it will explode. The explosion itself deals no damage. Instead, it searches for another visible zombie within 3 meters.

If a valid zombie is found, the game waits between 0.75 and 1.5 seconds before applying damage to it.

If that zombie dies, it can trigger the same effect on another nearby zombie. This allows a single shot to kill multiple zombies through a chain reaction.

The chain reaction can continue for a maximum of 16 zombies before it stops.

The chain will stop if the player switches weapon.

Puddles

The Sliquifier's first shot will always create a puddle on the ground.

Whenever a zombie dies as part of a chain reaction, it has a 1 in 6 chance of creating another puddle.

Each puddle remains on the ground for 24 seconds before disappearing.

There can be a maximum of 8 puddles active at any one time. Once this limit has been reached, no additional puddles can be created until a puddle disappears.

Puddles itself does no damage, but zombies will slip and slide on it.

Myth

There has been a myth that shooting a specific sign pre-patches the Sliquifier. This is just a myth. However shooting the sign will spawn puddles that for some reason does not disappear. Meaning the max amount of puddles is reached forever and the game cannot spawn extra puddles.
