What are the Black Ops 6 Zombies maps? Treyarch has confirmed that we’re getting two BO6 Zombies maps at launch. There’s also the suggestion that there are more to come, so it looks like round-based Zombies is back with a bang – and we can’t wait.
The two BO6 Zombies maps arriving with the Black Ops 6 release date are Terminus and Liberty Falls, and the zombie game stars operators from Black Ops Cold War as their story continues six years later. While we wait for Black Ops 6 and more details on all three modes, here’s everything we know about the wave-based Black Ops 6 Zombies maps so far.
The two Black Ops 6 Zombies maps at launch are:
- Terminus
- Liberty Falls
Terminus
Historically, Call of Duty Zombies has taken place on a dedicated map with its own set of operators to flesh out the story. Think Voyage of Despair, Zombies in Spaceland, and Buried as some of the best examples. Black Ops 6 returns to form with Terminus, in which operators from Black Ops Cold War, Weaver, Dr Grey, and Carver, are joined by new character Maya as the main characters.
This time, you can choose any of your unlocked operators to participate in Zombies, but choosing one of these four adds new voice lines for a more immersive experience. Terminus is a dark and dingy Zombies map, and just happens to be where our ragtag crew have been detained since the end of Black Ops Cold War. Now they’re out of their cells, the team realizes that Project Janus has turned the outpost into a bio-research station, as bodies floating in vats around them and mutated creatures close in for the kill.
While there’s a lot of space to roam on Terminus, you need to be careful not to trap yourself in any cells. The prison complex does have its benefits, though, with map-specific traps at your disposal. Leave the complex, and you could become a snack for The Tentacle, a gigantic monstrosity waiting for you in the waters surrounding the island.
Tentacle traps
You can see the tentacle trap put to work in the Black Ops 6 Zombies trailer above. Run through one of these doors with a train of zombies behind you, and watch as they get pulled up and swallowed whole by the trap’s grotesque mouth.
Cannon traps
Also shown in the trailer above, cannon traps can decimate Black Ops 6 zombies in a flash. This heavy artillery weapon was repurposed by Project Janus and can now be used as a powerful defense against the undead, provided you have the resources to power it up.
Liberty Falls
We’re heading to the American South with Liberty Falls, as the zombie apocalypse destroys “1991’s fastest growing town in America.” Set in West Virginia, Liberty Falls is a slightly more light and dare we say welcoming map than Terminus, with its hometown comforts like a beautiful church and even the local comic book store.
Speaking of which, the Liberty Falls trailer above gives us a glimpse of what might be a classic round-based zombies unlockable feature. A statue in the comic book store can be trigger to blast devastating laser beams around the room to clear out hordes of undead. Based on out knowledge of previous zombies games, it’s likely this is unlocked via a series of quests, though that isn’t confirmed.
Thrusterdine
We also know that each map comes with its own unique Wonder Weapons, and we’ve now seen the rather weighty Liberty Falls Thrusterdine, which is essentially a jet engine turned ferocious weapon. Wielding this majestic machine, you can simply suck up hordes of zombies into the propellers, killing them instantly. Alternatively, suck up trash around you and charge up a powerful blast.
Other BO6 Zombies maps
So far we know that these are the only two maps available at launch. However, it’s clear Treyarch are invested on bringing round-based zombies back with a bang, as a third map was confirmed during CoD NEXT on August 28, 2024, as arriving later in the year, so less than two months after launch.
Those are all the details on the Black Ops 6 Zombies maps so far. In the meantime, find out more about the divisive BO6 Omnimovement we’re sure you’ve been hearing about.
