Round-Based Zombies is a cooperative mode that has become an integral part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 series, developed by Treyarch. Players face continuous challenges, complex storylines, and secrets on the maps. With two maps available at launch and a third planned for the first season, Zombies mode offers hours of rich content.

Round-Based Zombies is unique with its system of increasing difficulty and rewards with each new round. Levels become more challenging as your team eliminates zombies. Zombies appear in waves, and the round only ends after complete extermination.

At launch, the maps Terminus and Liberty Falls are available, each revealing its part of the overall Dark Aether story. During the game, listen to audio briefings that will help you navigate and progress further. Hidden clues may also appear—carefully examine your surroundings.

Zombie loadouts are customized in the weapons menu and differ from multiplayer. They include:

The initial loadout is minimal, but it quickly improves as you progress through the game.

Essence is the primary currency in zombie mode, earned mainly by killing zombies. Additional essence is awarded for hitting critical points, such as the head, and it allows you to purchase weapons, perks, and equipment.

Scrap drops randomly after killing zombies and needs to be picked up. Scrap is rarer than essence and is used for powerful upgrades, so use it wisely. Now you can save your progress in zombie mode in Solo play. If you have reached a long session, save it through the pause menu in a safe place and return later.
