The undead rises once more! Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to release its long awaited Season 6 package, potentially making it the last content we see from the game before the hotly anticipated release of the franchise’s 2021 title Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Fans of Cold War will be happy to know that the game is looking to end on a high, specifically with their Zombies content. Launching the latest season today , there’s no time to waste- so let’s dive right into it!
New Cold War Map and Wonder Weapon
A new map always brings excitement to the Call of Duty Zombies fan base, and this one doesn’t look set to disappoint. Titled “Forsaken”, the round-based survival map will look to conclude the first chapter of the Dark Aether story. Where will this finale take place I hear you say? Well none other than a secret test site in Ukraine. Very spooky.
“As Omega attempts to lure The Forsaken into this dimension – believing they can capture its power to weaponize against the West – Requiem plans on extracting Kazimir Zykov from the Dark Aether to prevent The Forsaken from entering our world” reads a description from game developers Treyarch’s website.
Season 6 will also present players with an eccentric new Wonder Weapon called the Chrysalax. The weapon will serve as both a multi-kill axe called the Chrysalax Savager and a rapid-fire Dark Aether energy weapon named the Chrysalax Storm.
“The Aetherial axe can kill multiple zombies in a single swipe and launch a spinning energy blade into the air. By shifting the hilt into a front grip, the Wonder Weapon transforms into the Chrysalax Storm, a rapid-fire Dark Aether energy weapon”.
The new multi-function weapon will become available through its own in-game quest, as a potential reward in Trials, or as a lucky roll at the Mystery Box.
This’ll give players the opportunity to express all their innovative ways of slaughtering the zombies in their path. What could be better?
New Cold War Support Weapons And Fan-Favourite Perk
The season 6 content doesn’t just stop with a new map and wonder weapon, but it also adds a pair of new support Weapons: the Hand Cannon and ARC-XD.
“Pick up the Hand Cannon at the Crafting Table when you want to deal massive damage to Special or Elite enemies at their weak points, or if you’re looking to clear an area with as few shots as possible”.
“If you’ve got the need for speed, the ARC-XD takes out zombies as you drive past them with a pulse attack from its attached Aetherium Crystal, and its explosion on impact is more than enough to clear a room”.
Players will need to utilise these weapons to perfection if they intend to stay alive in this new zombie-ridden environment. In addition to this, Call of Duty: Black Op Cold War will include its tenth Zombies perk which will be a revolutionised version of the fan-favorite PhD Slider.
“Long-time fans will be familiar with PhD’s base ability and some of its crucial upgrades, including immunity to explosive damage from your own weapons”.
Treyarch acknowledge that the PhD’s true potential will only become available when the player has activated all five tiers, which will give you the abilities described below:
- Base ability – Sliding into enemies triggers an explosion. The size and damage increase the farther you slide before impact.
- Skill Tier I – Immunity to environmental damage while sliding.
- Skill Tier II – Increased slide duration.
- Skill Tier III – Immunity to self-inflicted explosive damage.
- Skill Tier IV – Increased slide speed.
- Skill Tier V – Falling from a large height will trigger an explosion. The size and damage increase the higher you fall.
And Much, Much more…
If all that isn’t enough, the new zombie content will also include all of this:
- New “Forsaken” Challenges
- New Dark Aether story Intel
- New Zombies Operator Missions
- 20 New Zombies Season Challenges
- New Onslaught Map: Deprogram (PlayStation®)
