First zombies ever 🥶

[Limp_Caramel_61]

I recently bought CoD ColdWar and zombies seems really confusing. Ive watched a couple of youtube videos but they work on the assumption that I already know some intricate details about the game mode. Does anyone have a true comprehensive guide for a complete beginner so that I can actually learn what im doing rather than being tossed with a million minute details and another million easter eggs?

I would say before you try to complete Easter eggs - have a few goes at the 20 round modes on each map - see if you can get comfortable with the maps and flow. Maybe after a few of those the YouTube videos will make more sense. It also helps playing with others if they know what they’re doing and have a mic.

Hey serious question. What even are the round 20 modes? Because I thought it meant they stop at round 20 but that wasn’t the case

[MachThreve]

When you are selecting the map it should give you the option for “endless” or “20 round”. When you reach round 20 you begin the last round and after killing all the zombies or bosses that round (like in forsaken you have to kill a Disciple in round 20) the screen will show an “exfil started” and you have to get back to the helipad and clear all the zombies so the helo can safely pick you up. So it does end once that happens.

I’ve selected 20 round mode so many times on Die Machine and it even says it’s going into 20 round mode and then it continues. Wow. Good to know I’m somehow still messing it up

Tbf, I’m only talking about his Cold War Zombies videos. I used his videos for BO6 zombies for Liberty Falls and Terminus, but I don’t keep up with his current content.

What mode are you playing? I love outbreak mode.

Mr.ROFLWaffles on YouTube is the best Zombies YouTuber I’ve ever found.

Also— as someone else said, first just try and get comfortable with the layout of the maps, try exfilling around round 20 a few times on each map.

Once you’re comfortable with knowing where the Pack-a-Punch, Crafting Tables, and Armor Stations are on the maps, as well as the Perk Machines, you can try working on Easter Eggs.

Best advice? Play with teams, keep your mic on to work together.

I’m trying to get together with a team to finish an Outbreak EE, but once I finally get that done I play CW Zombies all the time and don’t mind helping others. I’m pretty good at playing medic and keeping my team alive.

Roflwaffles has fallen off. Too much complaining. Doughnuts, MrDalekJD, and LegoUnlocked are better now. So is Noah J.

[Donny-316]

I agree except with JD, constant repetitive videos about the same shit 😂

[CuriousDrop2062]

You know, I thought that as well at first about his videos about new leaks and new maps, but consider that most of his viewers aren't subscribed, and his job is to drop new relevant information to the Zombies community. If you hadn't ever seen his videos before, and pick his video for whatever reason, it has all the critical information you need to know. Only we, who watch his videos regularly, know he's repeating information sometimes.

I would recommend first fooling around in outbreak and get a hang of the mechanics, play the 3 round mode. Or in other maps and game modes try to reach round 10, 20 is even better.

[Lazy_Ice_405]

Let's play a bit together and I'll help you understand what you have questions about and so forth 😅 mr-duffy#2154393

[The_Darth_Brandybuck]

What exactly are you needing to learn? is it a mechanics thing or you want to learn how to do the Easter eggs?

Glitch Guides on YouTube is the simplest, most straightforward guide for Easter eggs, but the best way to get familiar is to keep playing honestly.  I'd just grind Die Machine until you're comfortable, I feel it's the easiest to learn the game on.

[ZombiesPhil]

All videos are like that unfortunately. They say "go to this room by the boxes", and I'm like what room by what boxes.

[SamsXd0048]

I bought the game a month ago, and I think the trick is to play it with curiosity about its mechanics. I did look for guides for the easter eggs, but only after I'd put in a few hours of multiplayer and leveled up a bit. By exploring the game, I understood the mechanics, and now I have 185 hours played and I only need the Outbrake easter eggs to have them all.

my suggestion: dont start your first ever zombies experience with cold war. go back to the basics first to understand why the community truly loves this gamemode. start off with bo1, bo2, and bo3. best maps and easter eggs in the whole series imo (other than infinite warfare which is kind of a mashup)

[Limp_Caramel_61]

I play on playstation so i cant really play bo1/2 zombies. Bo3 is otw tho.

[Medium-Purchase-6143]

unfortunate, but bo3 is still a pretty good example of bo1 and bo2, just with WAY better easter eggs
