Call of Duty Black Ops 6: Zombies will have two maps in the mode upon launch, and Treyarch has teased that the mode will have more maps at a later date.
With Black Ops 6, Treyarch have bought back Round-based zombies. The Black Ops 6 open beta will begin for all players and end on September 9. Meanwhile, early access beta for fans who have pre ordered the game will begin on August 30 at 10AM EST / 1PM PST / 6PM BST and conclude on Wednesday, September 4 at 10AM EST / 1PM PST / 6PM BST.
Two Zombies Maps Set to be Available at Launch
Terminus and Liberty Falls are the two new maps set to arrive in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on launch. One is a nighttime map, and the other is a daytime map, called Liberty falls. Treyarch also has revealed a full trailer for Black Ops 6.
Essence is set to be the main currency that’ll help players progress through the round-based Zombies mode, which is set to impress new players and CoD veterans alike.
Grigori Weaver, Elizabeth Grey, Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Carver, and Maya Aguinaldo are the operators available to play in Treyarch’s Call of Duty Black Ops 6: Zombies mode.
Essence can be used to unlock weaponry, and blocked areas within each map as fans progressthrough every round by slaying hordes of zombies. Essence can be used to access the following things in-game:
- To access Objective-related devices (in Terminus, these are devices that power the station) to further your progress.
- To unlock doors, with some allowing you to pay for half the unlocking cost, sharing the Essence amount with a teammate for the first time in Black Ops.
- To summon a Tactical Raft for aquatic expeditions.
- To purchase Perk-a-Colas from Perk Machines (to add specific advantages to your Operator, via a single machine, or a Der Wunderfizz that vends all Perk Cans on a particular map).
- To purchase upgrades for currently utilized weapons from the Pack-a-Punch Machine (Tier I, II, or III) that increase weapon potency and ammunition reserves, as well as occasionally offering unexpected effects…
- To purchase ammo from the Ammo Caches.
- To purchase an additional weapon with a rarity rating from a Weapon Wall Buy.
- To upgrade additional armor from an Armor Wall Buy (Tier II, Tier III).
- To purchase a random weapon with a rarity rating from a Mystery Box, and more.
- To start a special Trial challenge.
