Hey Everybody,
I wanted to make this post to go over everything we learned today because we learned a ton, both from leaks and from official call of duty accounts. If anything else gets figured out before Thursday, I will add to this post.
Come Thursday*, I plan on making my first* Everything You Need To Know About Black Ops 6 Zombies Post once we see the first gameplay trailer and learn more details about zombies.

BLACK OPS 6 ZOMBIES: TERMINUS OVERVIEW
Official Description: After two years battling undead outbreaks across the globe during the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War timeline, the CIA-led Requiem team finally succeeded in closing the last remaining dimensional portal, banishing its denizens back to the nightmarish hellscape known as the Dark Aether.
However, the team’s success came at a heavy price. Agent Samantha Maxis sacrificed herself to essentially seal this twisted dimension from the inside. Worse was to follow, as Requiem’s senior staff members were unceremoniously arrested on the orders of the Project Director—finally revealed to be none other than Edward Richtofen.
Taking place over half a decade later, Black Ops 6 Zombies continues the Dark Aether storyline, exploring the fortunes of key characters while also delving further into Richtofen’s motivations and goals.During the intervening years, former Requiem staff—Grigori Weaver, Mackenzie “Mac” Carver, Elizabeth Grey, Oskar Strauss, and Stoney Maddox (better known by his callsign, Raptor One)—have been incarcerated at an outpost known as Terminus, a mysterious garrison located in the Philippine Sea. After being imprisoned for over five years, these characters have undergone significant mental and physical changes.
As a longstanding veteran of the broader Call of Duty: Black Ops storyline, Grigori Weaver is no stranger to the ever-evolving nature of war and conflict—and the gray area it frequently inhabits. Despite the guilt he feels for his perceived “failure” as the team’s commander, he is more than determined to confront and expose his former Director’s duplicity and agendas—whatever they may be. He's done playing politics and is willing to burn the whole house down to expose the corruption that has led them to their current situation.
Elizabeth Grey is no longer the meek and somewhat naive scientist who was so thrilled to be invited to work with Requiem that she was somewhat blind to the realities of the Dark Aether threat… and the dubious ethics of those who sought to control its power. These qualities had already changed with the loss of Samatha Maxis, but the injustice of her imprisonment brought out a tougher side she never even knew existed within her. Thanks to Carver’s mentorship and training, her transformation has made her more than capable of facing any threat head on.
For Carver, his lifelong belief in the military—not to mention his own distinguished career—has been shattered. He is understandably aggrieved, but not bitter. He is more dedicated to his friends and colleagues than ever, and believes that with determination, they will right this terrible injustice.
As for Strauss, not only has he not fared well under the strain of incarceration and intense interrogation, his age and increasingly eccentric personality mean he is deeply reliant on his colleagues—not just for his own physical wellbeing, but also his sanity. Events take an explosive turn when Maya Aguinaldo, a young Filipina smuggler, arrives on the island in pursuit of her own (and very personal) agenda related to the disappearance of her own brother. More significantly for our team, she is accompanied by a familiar, but far from welcome face.There are many profanities that could be used to describe Dr. William Peck, but even the most offensive ones would fail to adequately do justice to just how detestable he is in the eyes of our heroes.
Even though Aguinaldo and Peck are primarily here to set our heroes free, their arrival coincides with Terminus Island suddenly becoming the epicenter of yet another outbreak. Consequently, suspicions are high. Not only that, but it soon becomes clear that the chaos on Terminus is not the only incursion from the Dark Aether. On the other side of the globe, the West Virginian town of Liberty Falls is also facing its own zombie onslaught. Personal grievances and suspicions aside, their dire circumstances mean that this disparate group of battle-hardened heroes has little choice but to fight together if they are to have any chance of survival…

They got regular zombies in BO6, we’re so back.
Ty for compiling this … appreciated
I am very excited apart from the return of loadouts and easy Easter eggs.
Overall everything sounds pretty good!
IMO, the weakest points I feel like are loadouts (I feel this could actual be a great reward if you completed the EE on the map, if not you just should be restricted to a pistol, like the older games) and Scorestreaks returning.
Other than that, pretty solid!
what is this garbage? Editing custom loadouts on round 1? Multiplayer score streaks called in by prisoners on a remote island? Gobblegums being given 3 at time in a pack of only 5 options? The constant recycling of cold war enemies and 4th game with manglers? This all looks really disappointing and I hope these leaks aren’t true. I guess if you really liked cold war then this is more of the same, but I was really hoping for a more classic feel.
I’m glad that 3rd person returns, now we can go full Resident Evil
So far so good, at least in my opinion.
Also, Weaver is ready to *burn the whole house down*? I see what they did there.
Energy mine is in the list of fu’s twice.
Not impressed so far will wait til gameplay trailer tho
Where was it confirmed that 3rd person is returning? I think that’s great, I just don’t want to get my hopes up.
So everything here seems to be as we want except the loadouts return.
Why don’t they make OG mode and casual mode with the OG one being with starting pistol only?
3rd person option cool
Gameplay details where did you find this good sir
Everything sounds pretty good to me. I’m not really a big fan of gun rarity coming back but i can look past it, I hope the dumb armor system doesn’t come back at least. Hope it’s more challenging than Cold War too
What is the point of death perception if it’s normal round based zombies?
Curious to see what Augments are. 50 options is a lot.
Hoping this list is incomplete – only 4 field upgrades is a huge disappointment.
Oh my god yes they’re bringing back interesting character stories and the BO3 gobblegum system… cautiously optimistic
Edit: very bummed field upgrades are returning, i miss BO3 quests for the special weapon
Disappointing that once again we won’t be getting map specific specialist weapons
pretty sure there was napalm strikes in cold war unless this is different
All sounds great but I wish they’d ditch the weapon rarity shit
I hope the demons from Vanguard return in some form
How are ARC-XD and Napalm Strike new? They were post-release addons to the Cold War scorestreaks pool for Firebase Z and I think Forsaken.
For guided easter eggs, you said “but more of a phrase similar to cold war” did you mean bo4, or do you think the relative ease will still be there?
Where did we get the info about the gums? Or was it just leaks
I like loadouts, makes getting camos easier and fun
So we still don’t know about the point system?
I’m fairly certain some of these things you listed aren’t true, like everything on hud being customizable and picking 3 gobblegums. I haven’t seen any confirmation of that anywhere
Load outs are very disappointing
So it’s CW2… I was kinda hoping they’d abandon that and go back to more BO3-2 style. I hope it’s good, but I’m not feeling as optimistic anymore.
And here I was about to go redo the Dark Aether Double Tap perk machine
It’s an endless cycle. We keep asking for it, they’ll keep giving us endings that lead to more bread crumbs.
Looks very promising.
Tldr: Cold War 2.0
I’m so excited for this game.
The HUD customization would do away with several problems I had with Cold War.
I’m excited to see how they handle Gobblegum in BO6.
The Augments seem very interesting, I can’t wait to see what those will be like.
I love the new zombies-exclusive supports
There is so much for me to look forward to in this game.
One last thing, The ARC-XD and Napalm Strike scorestreaks are incorrectly marked as *NEW*
Finally. We can finally enjoy the good old round based zombies just like before. I hope Double Tap is in the game. I miss the four OG perks on me when playing solo.
Cold War was awesome, so I’m happy to see a mix of CW and BO3.
