In Zombies mode, you play 45-minute matches set in the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone. In these matches, you can complete Tasks (objectives) of your available or active Missions. Task and Mission progression carry over from match to match.
From the lobby's Story Mission Select menu, you can select any Mission to be your Equipped Mission. The Equipped Mission is the one and only Mission you can progress during the match, as you can't do Tasks of Unequipped Missions and you can't change Missions mid-match.
Missions are grouped by Tier and you can only do the Missions that are part of the Tier you are currently on. You can't progress to the next Tier without completing all the Missions from the preceding Tier.
Act 1 has 6 Tiers with Missions ranging from only 1 to as many as 6.
The Tiers in Zombies mode make up the 3-act Zombies storyline. Complete all 3 Acts to earn a special reward.
