The Tomb (New Zombies Map) Quality-of-Life Updates

The Tomb (New Zombies Map)

The Tomb is an all-new zombies map that will drop on Season 2's launch day. As with all Zombies maps, it will feature a handful of easter eggs for players to uncover. Also included in the map is a reimagined Wonder Weapon and the return of an iconic Zombies SMG, both of which are yet to be revealed by the developers.

The setting of the map is located at an excavation site and immediately takes place after the events of Citadelle des Morts. The layout of the map itself is designed similarly to Liberty Falls, with tighter spaces and a heavy focus on replayability.

1. Challenge Tracking
2. Co-Op Pause
3. AFK Kick Loadout Recovery
4. Separate HUD Presets

Challenge Tracking

One of the Quality-of-Life updates included is a new Challenge Tracking system that enables players to manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and 10 Camo Challenges for both Zombies and Multiplayer modes. With this, players can track and see their progress easily.

Co-Op Pause

Previously, pausing a Zombies match was only available in Solo mode, but in the upcoming Season 2 update, the ability to pause the game will be made available in online Co-Op play. This is a highly requested feature from COD players and a welcome addition to the game mode, as it allows a party to take small breaks or strategize their next move.

AFK Kick Loadout Recovery

Players who get booted off a Zombies game due to inactivity will be able to reconnect back to the game with all their Essence, Salvage, and current Loadout intact.

Separate HUD Presets

Beginning Season 2, players can now have a separate HUD preset for Zombies and Multiplayer. In the past, players had to manually change their preferred HUD setup when hopping between the two game modes.
