Zombie Acts and Missions Explained

Zombies Story Missions Explained
Do Tasks and Missions During 45-Minute Zombie Matches You Can Only Do Tasks of One Mission at a Time Missions Are Only Available in Current Tier Overall, Zombies Is a 3-Act Story

Do Tasks and Missions During 45-Minute Zombie Matches

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.

You Can Only Do Tasks of 1 Mission at a Time

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 Only Available in Current Tier

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.

Overall, Zombies Is a 3-Act Story

The Tiers in Zombies mode make up the 3-act Zombies storyline. Complete all 3 Acts to earn a special reward.
