 The Tomb (New Zombies Map)War Machine (New Support Weapon) |
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. Completing the main quest will reward players with a X91 Ice-Pike Wonder Weapon skin, a unique Calling Card (must be completed before Directed Mode is released), and 5,000 XP.
New Wonder Weapon: Staff of Ice
The Staff of Ice is a new Wonder Weapon in The Tomb that has the ability to slow and freeze enemies, and also comes packed with a devastating area-of-effect attack. Not only that, but players can also revive their teammates with it via a precision-shot restorative blast.
New Enemy: Shock Mimic
Joining in the ranks of the Elite Zombies, the Shock Mimic functions like a regular Mimic, but can electrify players and deals more lethal damage than its regular variant.
Returning Perk-a-Cola: Death Perception
The Death Perception makes its return in The Tomb. This perk-a-cola allows players to see enemies through walls and obstacles, as well as new abilities that can be unlocked or further enhanced with Augments.
Available in Other Maps via Der Wunderfizz
While a Death Perception machine is present in The Tomb, it will also be available in Liberty Falls, Terminus, and Citadelle des Morts through the Der Wunderfizz machine.
War Machine (New Support Weapon)
The War Machine is a new grenade launcher support weapon for Zombies. It can be created at the Crafting Table for 2,500 Salvage.
New GobbleGums
| Dead Drop | Drop rates of Salvage and Equipment are greatly increased. Lasts five minutes. |
|---|---|
| Modified Chaos | Greatly reduce all Ammo Mod cooldowns. Lasts two minutes. |
| Quacknarok | Zombies move around in rubber ducky inner tubes. Lasts three minutes. |
Three new GobbleGums for Zombies mode will be added in the Season 2 launch: Dead Drop (Epic), Modified Chaos (Legendary), and Quacknarok (Whimsical).
New Weapons
More than six new weapons will make their debut in Season 2, but only four have been revealed so far: PPSh-41, Cypher 091, Feng 82, TR2—all of which will be available to use in both Multiplayer and Zombies.
The rest of the new armaments will be revealed as the Mid-Season approaches.
New Attachments
There are four new attachments in Season 2. Three will be available on launch: Full Auto Mod, Binary Trigger, and the Crossbow Attachment. The last one, the Belt-Fed Attachment will arrive in the Season 2 Reloaded update.
New Multiplayer Maps
Five new Multiplayer maps have been revealed for Season 2, and the ones available on launch are Bounty, Dealership, and Lifeline. The latter two, Bullet and Grind, will arrive later on in the season.
New Operators
The Battle Pass for Season 2 brings in the Vortex and Nocturne Operators for the Crimson One faction. Both Operators can be unlocked in the Instant Reward page, although the Vortex Operator requires the BlackCell pass.
Operator List and Operator Skins
New Perk, Wildcard, and Scorestreak
| Slipstream (Perk) |
Raises your base sprint speed at the cost of removing Tac Sprint. |
|---|---|
| Flyswatter (Wildcard) |
Allows a player to replace their Dedicated Melee weapon with a Launcher. |
| War Machine (Scorestreak) |
A Grenade Launcher that fires clusters of grenades in three-round bursts. |
Some additional Multiplayer content like the Slipstream Perk, the Flyswatter Wildcard, and the War Machine Scorestreak will also be added for Season 2.
Quality-of-Life Updates
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.
AFK Inactivity Timer Explained
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.
