Although the meta is set to change with the debut of Overcharge, no stat is more game-changing in R.E.P.O. than strength. After all, who needs a weapon when you can shake monst??ers until they meet their demise?
But how much strength do you need to do that? Here's a complete overview of the Strength Chart in R.E.P.O.
Table of contents
R.E.P.O. Strength Chart
In R.E.P.O., you can boost your strength level from zero to any valu??e you want by consuming upgrades, with each increasing your performance by a fair margin. Reaching leve?ls 4, 9, and 13 will also boost the size of the monsters you can lift. You can take a better look at what reaching each milestone allows you to do below:
| Strength Level | |
|---|---|
| Zero | Apex Predators (if stunned), Bangers, and Gnomes can be lifted and shaken. Small and medium-sized objects can also be easily lifted. |
| 4 | Animals, Rugrats, Mentalists, Hiddens, and Clowns can be lift and shaken. Big objects become easier to lift. |
| 9 | Bowties, Chefs, Huntsman, Reapers, and Shadow Children can be lifted. Except for the former two, all monsters here take more than five hits to be killed. You also become able to quickly deal with large objects by yourself. |
| 13 | All objects and monsters in the game 鈥攅xcept for the Peeper, of course鈥?can now be lifted and carried. Raising the stat above the threshold will further increase your performance. |
Keep in mind that it is indeed possible to lift monsters while being at a lower Strength level in R.E.P.O., a feat you do by lifting them together with other players. The reason for that? The strength sta?ts of all involved are added up upon each try. For example, if you and your friend are at Strength levels 4 and 5, get ready to bring the pain to all monsters found on the level 9 section.
How much does each Strength Upgrade cost?
Like all other types in R.E.P.O., you can only purchase Strength Upgrades while at a Service Sta??tion. The upgrades will initially cost from $5,000 to $8,000, with 6K being the most common value for us. As you advance in your run and? visit the store more and more, however, their base and max values will increase, so don't be alarmed if you find some costing 40K as you get closer to lucky number 13.

As the first fully evolved Ghost-type Pok茅m??on in the franchise鈥檚 history, Gengar introduced the world to the merits of the spookiest type in the game. Seeing as you had to trade your Haunter to evolve it, Gengar wa a rare commodity in the mainline games.
That scarcity bled over into the Pok茅mon TCG; Gengar cards have long been chases and grails for fans and collectors, with notable Pok茅Tuber Deep Pocket Monster even doing a video series focus?ed on obtaining all English-language Gengar cards ever create??d.
But what Gengar cards are the most valuable? With cards ranging from the third Pok茅mon TCG set ever (Fossil) to a terrific Sword and Shield era set (Fusion Strike), Gengar has remained a big name among collectors and fans of the TCG. Let鈥檚 take a look, but don鈥檛?? let your dreams g??et eaten.
Note: All prices are via TCGPlayer and PriceCharting and may fluctuate over time.
10. Reverse Holofoil Gengar 鈥?Skyridge
Market Price: $189.95
The list kicks off with the first (but not the last) Gengar card from Skyridge, the final set of the eReader era of the TCG. These sets 鈥?and Skyridge in particular 鈥???featured extremely limited print runs, making them among the rarest and most valuable sets in the game鈥檚 history.
As such, any notable holos and reverse holos from the set are mega chase cards, with this reverse holo Gengar certa??inly fitting that bill?. While this reverse holo doesn鈥檛 reach the heights of its standard holo sibling, you can see the interesting, expressionistic artwork of Kyoko Umemoto better on this version, making it a better option for card art fans out there.
9. Holofoil Gengar (First Edition) 鈥?Fossil
Market Price: $228.20
The first Gengar card ever released, this 3D, computer-generated-artwork-festooned Gengar card introduced the first-ever Ghost-type to the TCG 鈥?and what an introduction it was. With an intriguing twist on Base Set Alakazam鈥檚 Pok茅mon Power: Damage Swap, which allowed you to move damage counters on your opponent鈥檚 Pok茅mon, this Gengar card was a tricky blighter.
While its value is far from the upper reaches of other cards on this list, there鈥檚 something to be said about ??the 鈥淥G鈥?(original Gengar) card on this list, especially in its far rarer first edition printing.
8. Reverse Holofoil Gengar (Fireworks) 鈥?Legendary Collection
Market Price: $248.85
One of the top five mos??t valuable Legendary? Collection cards of all time is the reverse holofoil (fireworks) Ge?ngar, which features the same art as Fossil Gen??gar coupled with the eye-catching and set-exclusive fireworks foiling finish.
Legendary Collection remains an iconic set from the TCG鈥檚 past, with fireworks reverse holo cards and the interesting Box Topper cards boasting sky-high values on the secondary marke??t well over 20 years?? after the set came out.
7. Holofoil Sabrina鈥檚 Gengar (First Edition) 鈥?Gym Heroes
Market Price: $274.98
鈥淭rainer鈥檚 Pok茅mon鈥?have been a notable element of a few sets throughout the TCG鈥檚 history, but they made their debut in Gym Heroes 鈥?which is where this Sabrina-controlled Gengar hails from. Featuring minimalistic artwork from Gengar鈥檚 original de??signer Ken Sugimori, this first edition Sabrina鈥檚 Gengar is among the top chase cards from the first set with Trainer鈥檚 Pok茅mon.
Gengar was among the first P??ok茅mon ever designed by Sugimori, and its genesis even predates the name Pok茅mon 鈥?Sugimori created Gengar back when the game was still slated to be called 鈥淐apsule Monsters.鈥?A notable card with a notably high price tag ?to match it.
6. Holofoil Gengar ex 鈥?Fire Red & Leaf Green
Market Price: $376.86
The only 鈥渕id-era鈥?card on this list boasts striking Mitsuhiro Arita artwork (showing the legendary Pok茅mon TCG illustrator experimenting with a more computer-generated style) as well as the beautiful foiling method of super rares from this era in which the fo?il pattern extends ??all the way to the silver borders of the card itself 鈥?making for a gorgeous piece of 20-year-old cardboard.
This Gengar card was also a t??error on the battlefield, a?s it damaged your foe for the amount of Trainer cards in their hand, as well as if they were ahead in the prize race. Combine that power with scarcity and a terrific card layout and design, and you鈥檝e got a near-$400 card on your hands.
5. Holofoil Gengar 鈥?Skyridge
Market Price: $408.01
The final appearance of Skyridge Gengar on this list is the regular holo version, which clocks in at a price point just over $400. As previously evinced, Skyridge only received a single, solitary printing back in 2003 and it represented the changeover for the rights to the TCG from Wizards of the Coast to the ??Pok茅mon Company 鈥?which has retained them ever since.
Due to the single print run as well as the unusual 鈥?and frankly brilliant 鈥?card designs found in this set, any holographic rare from this set is worth an absolute fortune, such as the 鈥淐rystal Type鈥?Charizard, which also happens to be one of the most valuable Colorless cards of all time.?? This Gengar certainly fits into that category, making it one of the top chase cards for Gengar fans.
4. Holofoil Gengar VMAX 鈥?Prize Pack Series
Market Price: $463.53
Perhaps th?e rarest card on this list 鈥?at least in terms of the 鈥渟et鈥?it came from 鈥?is this special Gengar VMAX from the Play! Pok茅mon P??rize Pack Series Two, which was released in booster packs of six cards for Pok茅mon Organized Play events. The cards selected were reprints from sets ranging from Battle Styles to Brilliant Stars, but they featured a special Play! Pok茅mon logo.
Seeing as Gengar VMAX features a special design of a massive Gengar with a huge, gaping maw, cards featuring its likeness will always? be hot commodities. This limited-release prize pack Gengar certainly slots into that category.
3. Holofoil Gengar & Mimikyu GX (Alternate Full Art) 鈥?Team Up
Market Price: $582.03
鈥淭ag Team鈥?cards were featured in a number of Sun & Moon-era TCG sets, and those cards have skyrocketed in popularity (and price) since their release across sets like Team Up, Unbroken Bonds, Unified Minds, and Cosmic ??Eclipse.
For those cards, Gengar was paired up with new fan favorite Fairy/Ghost-type 鈥榤on Mimikyu, and that pairing received an impressive four different printings in the Team Up expansion 鈥?all worth more than $120 apiece. The ?most valuable of the four, however, is the Alternate Full Art version with dreamy, unsettling artwork by Midori Harada that delivers an astounding price of $582.
2. Holofoil Gengar VMAX (Alternate Art Secret) 鈥?Fusion Strike
Market Price: $670.16
The most recently released card on this list also happens to be one of the top Gengar chase cards of all time 鈥?the Alternate Full Art Gengar from Fusion Strike. Featuring stunning artwork from notable Pok茅mon TCG illustrator sowsow of a gargantuan Gengar sucking up all organic matter near it 鈥?including a Berry tree 鈥?this card is among the top modern-era TCG grails for collectors and fans.
You can usually tell when a Pok茅mon TCG card will be a heavy hitter, value-wise. Cards featuring some of the most popular 鈥榤on ever and cards with amazing full-card artworks usually command high pr?ice tags, and if you nab a card that boasts both of those traits 鈥?such as this Gengar VMAX 鈥?you鈥檙e looking at a top-dollar card (this Gengar in a P??SA 10 is worth $1,300).
1. Holofoil Dark Gengar (First Edition) 鈥?Neo Destiny
Market Price: $693.63
The most valuable Gengar card of all time, somewhat surprisingly, is the holographic Dark Gengar from the final Neo series TCG set, Neo Destiny. While 鈥渄ark鈥?versions of cards were?? first introduced in the Team Rocket expansion, Neo Destiny took it one step further ??with 鈥渓ight鈥?versions, as well as the expansion of 鈥渟hining鈥?cards.
Gengar did not receive a 鈥渄ark鈥?treatment in Team Rocket, so the first and only Dark Gengar card hails from Neo Destiny. The novelty factor alone lends this card a tremendous amount of value, and when combined with perhaps the finest artwork to ever grace a Gengar card (by Aya Kusube) of a devious-looking Gengar looking menacingly through angry, slitted eyes, you鈥檝e got a Gengar c?ard worth nearly $700 on the secondary market. Being a first edition card also adds to its value.

If you loved working your way through George R.R. Martin鈥檚 expansive fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, or if you鈥檙e just a fan of its TV show adaption, you鈥檒l love the te??n books we鈥檙e highli?ghting with this list. Each offers exciting action scenes, loveable characters, and immersive worldbuilding.
1. The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams
The Dragonbone Chair sets up a fascinating fantasy world that鈥檚 about to descend into chaos with the death of its king. Caught in the middle of the upcoming struggle is Simon, who works in the kitchens of a castle known as Hayholt. This location has a few interesting similarities to Winterfell in Game of Thrones that modern readers will enjoy discovering in the early parts of the book. The plot here admittedly starts out quite slow. However, the worldbuilding and action-packed second half make investing your time into this one a richly rewarding experience. Once you鈥檙e done with The Dragonbone Chair, you can continue the Memory Sorrow, and Thorn series in Stone of Farewell.
2. Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook
If you鈥檇 like to try an epic fantasy series that's a bit darker than A Song of Ice and Fire, then The Black Company might be a great book for you to try next. It follows the fate of a mercenary group that profits from an ongoing war and focuses on a set of characters who? are, at best, morally questionable. In fact, they鈥檙e downright evil sometimes. The conflict is fought between the forces of a magic wielder known as the Lady, who鈥檚 trying to re-establish dominion over the land, and the rebel forces who oppose her, who are known collectively as the White Rose. The beginning of the book drops you right into the middle of the action, so it鈥檚 normal not to fully understand what鈥檚 happening right away.
3. Sh艒gun by James Clavell
For a historical fiction read with conflicts and drama like聽Game of Thrones,聽you might聽try James Clavell鈥檚 Asian Saga masterwork Shogun. The book opens with the journey of an English sailor known as John Blackthorne, who survives a shipwreck only to wash ashore in a land closed off to foreigners??: Japan. Bloody battles, political intrigue, and romance await Blackthorne, who ventures into his new life known as Anjin-San. The huge cast of characters, stunning historical details, and grand scale of Clavell鈥檚 work make it an immensely satisfying odyssey.
4. The Red Knight by Miles Cameron
Miles Cameron鈥檚 The Red Knight has a gorgeously described world, a huge cast of fascinating POV characters, and a plot that engages you right from the get-go. The titular Red Knight is a leader of a band of warriors for hire. He and his company start the book by taking what appears to be a simple assignment from the Abbess of a nunnery, but before they know it, they find themselves in the middle of a bloody conflict. Like Westeros in Game of Thrones, the kingdom has a gigantic wall to keep it safe from the mysterious dangers of the Wild beyond it. While there are more than a few mythic creatures in this world, there is also plenty of grounded medieval r??ealism.
5. The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons
The Ruin of Kings kickstarts the Chorus of Dragons series with a fascinating way of building out its world and characters. Instead of looking at things from the perspective of a single lead ch??aracter, we examine the story of the protagonist, Kihrin, from a distance, with two completely different unreliable storytellers that sometimes contradict one another. Who will Kihrin become, and which details are true? You'll love this book if you enjoy putting together the pieces of a complex timeline as you read.
6. A Time of Dread by John Gwynne
John Gwynne鈥檚 A Time of Dread takes place in a vast fantasy world that feels like it鈥檚 on the edge of being swept up by an unknown darkness. A group of divine warriors known as the Ben-Elim rule the land and hold the leader of their enemies within their fortress. Their victory, which set the stage for the book, doesn鈥檛 seem like it will be permanent. The story follows four main perspective characters as they discover unnerving signs of demons, black magic, and coming dangers. The story continues in A Time of Blood.
7. The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell
The King Arthur legend has had more than its fair share of book and film adaptions, but few are as satisfying as Bernard Cornwell鈥檚 The Winter King. That鈥檚 because the story that鈥檚 being told here is one that could have actually happened. The writing musters as many historical details as possible about fifth and sixth century Britain and scales down the magical elements that you鈥檇 get in the likes of Mary Stewart鈥檚 The Crystal Cave or the recent Green Knight film adaption.
8. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien鈥檚 masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, is a classic of the fantasy genre for a good reason. The world of Middle-Earth, from the rolling hills of the Shire to the white tower of Minas Tirith, is immensely expansive and gorgeously detailed. The characters are also exceptionally well drawn, and the quest to destroy the One Ring is, of course, an engaging tale every step of the way. If you finished A Song of Ice and Fire and you haven鈥檛 read through this one yet, it should definitely be you??r top priority.
9. Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
The engaging characters, pitch-perfect worldbuilding, and grand scale of The Expanse novels should appeal to any Song of Ice and Fire fan, even though the series is a completely different genre. The first book, Leviathan Wakes, begins its tale with a satisfying sci-fi mystery. Jim Hol?den and the crew members of his ship are investigating an unknown distress call out in the Asteroid Belt when they discover a deadly secret. Elsewhere, Joe Miller, a detective who works for a security company, is looking in??to a strange disappearance that leads him in the same direction as Holden.
10. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin
Want to dive deeper into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire after you鈥檝e finished A Dance With Dragons? A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a great place to start. It鈥檚 a collection of novellas that follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg about 90 years before the start of A Game of Thrones. The story provides more of a ground-level look at Westeros than Martin鈥檚 other books set in the same world. Plus,?? it will soon be a TV series.

Who will Kihrin become, and which details are true? You'll love this book if you enjoy putting together the pieces of a complex timeline as you read.
6. A Time of Dread by John Gwynne
John Gwynne鈥檚 A Time of Dread takes place in a vast fantasy world that feels like it鈥檚 on the edge of being swept up by an unknown darkness. A group of divine warriors known as the Ben-Elim rule the land and hold the leader of their enemies within their fortress. Their victory, which set the stage for the book, doesn鈥檛 seem like it will be permanent. The story follows four main perspective characters as they discover unnerving signs of demons, black magic, and coming dangers. The story continues in A Time of Blood.
7. The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell
The King Arthur legend has had more than its fair share of book and film adaptions, but few are as satisfying as Bernard Cornwell鈥檚 The Winter King. That鈥檚 because the story that鈥檚 being told here is one that could have actually happened. The writing musters as many historical details as possible about fifth and sixth century Britain and scales down the magical elements that you鈥檇 get in the likes of Mary Stewart鈥檚 The Crystal Cave or the recent Green Knight film adaption.
8. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien鈥檚 masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, is a classic of the fantasy genre for a good reason. The world of Middle-Earth, from the rolling hills of the Shire to the white tower of Minas Tirith, is immensely expansive and gorgeously detailed. The characters are also exceptionally well drawn, and the quest to destroy the One Ring is, of course, an engaging tale every step of the way. If you finished A Song of Ice and Fire and you have?n鈥檛 read through this one yet, it should definitely be your top priority.
9. Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
The engaging characters, pitch-perfect worldbuilding, and grand scale of The Expanse novels should appeal to any Song of Ice and Fire fan, even though the series is a completely different genre. The first book, Leviathan Wakes, begins its tale with a satisfying sci-fi mystery. Jim Holden and the crew members of his ship are investigating an unknown distress call out in the Asteroid Belt when they discover a deadly secret. Elsewhere, Joe Miller, a detective who works for a security co??mpany, is looking into a strange disappearance that leads him in the same direction as Holden.
10. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin
Want to dive deeper into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire after you鈥檝e finished A Dance With Dragons? A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a great place to start. It鈥檚 a collection of novellas that follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg about 90 years before the start of A Game of Thrones. The story provides more of a ground-level lo??ok at Westeros than Martin鈥檚 other?? books set in the same world. Plus, it will soon be a TV series.

Have you ever wanted to write music for others to sing? Many BitLife challenges have as??ked you to become a singer, musician, or dancer, but it's rare to find one requiring you to become a music composer. Some achievements are tied to this, ??making it very useful to learn about.
How to become a Music Composer in BitLife
Becoming a music composer in聽BitLife聽requires a聽Music degree聽from a聽university. While the music composer career doesn't specify a Music degree in its description, having this will make it much easier to pass the interview and filter out unrelated job titles. After acquiring your degree, you'll start spotting Apprentice Music Composer positions in your full-time? job lis?t to apply for.
If you don't see any Apprentice Music Composer jobs right away, close and reopen your BitLife app to refresh the list or age up and ?recheck it. Once you find a listing, apply for the position and pass the interview to become a music composer. If you don't succeed immediately, age up a couple of times and raise your smart stats until it works. In most cases, the Music degree by itself is enough to get you the job, but low stats can prevent it in ?some cases.
Avoid having a criminal record as yo?u apply to become a music composer. Most employers will reject you immediately if you have one, regardless of whether it was in your character's teenage years or a recent event. You can emigrate to another country and try again elsewhere, but the odds of the game's immigration office denying your request are high unless you have a clean record. Your best bet is to avoid crime altogether unless it's related to a challenge.
Although apprentice music composers don't make much money, they help complete achievements and challenges. Challenges like Bittersweet Symphony require you to? become a music composer, but you can also pursue c??areer-related achievements such as Jack of All Trades.

In E.R.P.O., every Class brings something special to the table. This game takes things up a notch with unique abilities that can boost your earnings or make tough levels a breeze. Whether you're in it for the cash or the challenge, choosing the right Class can change everything. Let鈥檚 break down what each one has to offer in this E.R.P.O. class tier list and guide.
E.R.P.O. Class Tier List
Just because a Class in E.R.P.O. is in a lower tier does not mean they do not have a use. Each Class is good in a specific scenario. The top classes are just good in more scenarios than the bottom class ones. For example, Speedster is always good, and Paramedic is only good if someone has already died, making it a bad Class to begin with.
E.R.P.O. Class List
Below is a complete and detailed list of all Classes from E.R.P.O:
| Class | Rarity | Ability | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
 |

There are also more team-oriented Classes, like the Medic or the Oracle, providing unique bonuses for the whole team.
How to Reroll Class in E.R.P.O.
To reroll your Class in E.R.P.O., you will first need to get 10 Bolts. Luckily, if you follow the in-game instructions of liking and following the game's creator, you will get 70 Bolts for free. So, with these effectively free Rerolls, you can walk into the Classes area and start rolling. There, you will be able to find all the information related to rerolling Classes, along with all the percentages.

As we can see here, each class has its unique use that fits into a certain playstyle. So even if you don't get the highest rarity Class, you can be useful to your team or even alone, making a lot of money. There are also more team-oriented Classes, like the Medic or the Oracle, providing unique bonuses for the whole team.
How to Reroll Class in E.R.P.O.
To reroll your Class in E.R.P.O., you will first need to get 10 Bolts. Luckily, if you follow the in-game instructions of liking and following the game's creator, you will get 70 Bolts for free. So, with these effectively free Rerolls, you can walk into the Classes area and start rolling. There, you will be able to find all the information related to rerolling Classes, along with all the percentages.
And that is all for our E.R.P.O. class tier list and guide. Check out our E.R.P.O. Codes article for more bolts and freebies.

South of Midnight goes ??to the moon and back to capture the provincial charm of the Deep South folk stories that inspired it. One of?? the best ways it does this is through the velvet-like performances of its voice actors and actresses.
As you journey through South of Midnight'??s swollen swamps and shady chateaus, you'll cross paths with a colorful collective of characters with things to say and songs to sing. Many of these souls might sound familiar to you because they're voiced by perfor??mers who worked in film, TV shows, and theater.

I wouldn't call this a cast of unknowns (the title of this article would be very misleading if it were), but many of South of Midnight's actors and actresses haven't lent their voices to video games before. Thankfully, notoriety doesn't equal quality; every actor and actress brings their A-game to South of Midnight, delivering top-tier performances that complement the game's lyrical, hypnotic writi??ng.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has thre?e amazing Assassin outfits to unlock ?if you want to get the iconic looks that made the franchise popular among gamers.
You can unlock the following Assassin outfits on your journey: Initiate, Apprentice, and Master. All three can be unlocked by just playing through the game, but this guide will help you on your journey by highlighting the key step??s.
How to get the Initiate Assassin Outfit in Assassin's Creed Shadows
The Initiate Assassin Outfit requires you to search two different places, as the hood is at a separate location. Let's first look at how to get the rest of ??the gear.
- Go to the Yamashiro region and unlock the Yamazaki Tenshu quick travel spot.
- At this location, look to the northwest region, and a question mark will appear at the Eagle's Nest.
- This place will lead you to the Path of the Brave, where you'll have to follow the yellow paint-like markers on the cliffs.
- Once you reach the end, you'll reach a loot chest that contains the Hibiki Gear.
Next, y??ou'll have to find the hood to complete the set.
- Go to the Izumi Setsu region, then reach Senri Hills.
- Look for the POI named Toneyama Post Town and a fast-travel point called Koyana Ruins.
- The Path of Valor is situated past the fast travel point.
- Keep following the path, and it will lead you to the chest containing the hood. This will complete the Initiate Assassin outfit.
The full outfit is in black color, and great for th?ose who love da??rker shades.
How to get the Apprentice Assassin Outfit in Assassin's Creed Shadows
This is the second Assassin Outfit to unlock.
- Progress along Naoe's personal stories from the objective board and complete the Kiji-Kuri missions.
- Get access to the Wolves and Foxes mission.
- The Wolves and Foxes mission introduces Naoe to Hanzo. Once he is done talking to Naoe about her parents, it will unlock the Secrets of the Blade mission.
- This mission will take you to the Settsu region, and you'll come across a Kofun. You can access Settsu earlier, but you'll need to unlock the Secrets of the Blade mission to get the outfit.
- Go to the Kofun and keep following the mission marker.
- The mission marker will lead you to a secret room. There's a dummy in this room wearing an Assassin outfit.
Take the outfit, ??which will add the Apprentice Assas?sin Outfit to your collection.
How to get the Master Assassin Outfit in Assassin's Creed Shadows
The Master Assassin Out??fit is relatively easy to obtain, but it takes a l??ot of time to do so.
- Complete all the assassination quests till you manage to close down Shinbakfu.
- Shutting down Shinbakfu will unlock the epilogue section.
- Complete the personal stories of Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro.
- Completing all three personal stories will give you access to the Out of the Shadows quest.
- Speak with everyone at the Hideout and complete the main story.
Ending the final cutscene will add the Master Assass??in Outfit to your inventory.

Magic The Gathering has had so many sets over the years that it's almost impossible to remembe?r them all by heart, but we sure can remember whenever a new expansion set would bring cards that would shake the ga??me to its core.
Let's look at the most powerful sets in the history of MTG and find out which one reigns supreme, shall we?
10. Exodus
Exodus features a collection of some pretty brutal and efficient cards. This is the set that introduced Hatred, a card that allows players to sacrifice their own life to buff a creature in the hopes to kill the opponent in one swift move, Recurring Nightmare, a staple of early resurrection, and Survival ?Of The Fittest, a card that allowed players to discard creature cards to look for more powerful creature cards in their deck, and Mind Over Matt??er, a pretty overpowered control option.
Exodus also saw many of its old-but-not-dead find ??a new life in Commander.
9. Onslaught
On top ?of some pretty brutal creatures like Visara, Exalted Angel, Ravenous Baloth, Goblin Piledriver, and Goblin Sharpshooter, Onslaught also introduced a myriad of fetch lands, the best type of land card in the game.
Onslaught resurfaced with Commander, with cards such as the once mid Cover Of Darkness becoming pretty po??pular in the gen??re.
8. Worldwake
2010's Worldwake introduced Jace, The Mind Sculptor, which would remain the most ridiculously overpowered Planeswalker card f?or many years straight.
Even after Jace got rightfully banned, Worldwake would still have the fantastic Avenger Of Zendikar, an elemental capable of greatly empowering your army of plants, Death's Shadow, an avatar that only gets more dangerous as its controller ge?ts weaker, Stoneforge Mystic, a utility master, and even extremely useful common cards like Bo??juka Bog and Treasure Hunt.
7. Legends
Legends is not the name of a Best of collection, but it very well could've? been. This is one of the best sets, especially if you're into Black. It features All Hallows Eve, The Abyss,?? Chains of Mephistopheles, and Nether Void, a collection of some of the most powerful cards ever seen in a set.
Outside of black, Legends featur??es other, well, legendary cards, such as Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, Moat, and Mana Drain.
6. Mirrodin
Mirrodin revamped MTG's card aesthetics and also sent the whole game into upheaval. After so many years of neglect, MTG put artifacts in the spotlight and, through a new artifact-favoring mechanic called "Affinity" and some of the most powerful artifacts in the game's history, Mirrodin completely changed the MTG for a while.
The stando?ut cards are the Chrome Mox, one of the best mana-generators ever based on the legendary mox cards of? old, Isochron Scepter, Extraplanar Lens, and Chalice of the Void.
5. Throne of Eldraine
Some cards alone are enough to elevate an entire set to ridiculous heights. That card here would be Oko, Thief Of Crowns, a Planeswalker so powerful it got banned everywhere outside of ??Commander and Vintage for breaking the?? scene upon arrival.
Still, Throne of Eldraine features other banger cards, such as the also-banned Once Upon A Time, the fantastic fetch land Fabled Passage, Braz??en Burrower, a flying creature that can come out of nowher??e with a great control option, and the incredibly destructive and sneaky Embercleave.
4. Antiquities
Antiquities still carries a some of that deranged dark feel of early Magic, as it feat??ures some ridiculously overpowered cards no one suspected?? could break the game.
Antiquities features a bunch of extremely powerful lands, such as Mishra鈥檚 Workshop and Mishra鈥檚 Factory, but is also strong in its artifact game with the artifact Candelabra of Tawnos and ex??cellent artifact-related cards such as Transmute Artifact and? Power Artifact.
3. Arabian Nights
Arabian Nights was the first real expansion set after Beta, Revised, and Unlimited, which mostly just rehashed Alpha. However, it still retains some of the absolutely unhinged, overpowered DNA of OG MTG.
It features awesome creatures like the iconic Juz谩m Djinn, the first creature that would hurt its owner just so it would hurt their opponent even harder, and Old Man of the Sea, ??????????????????????????another devious Djinn capable of hijacking ?the opponent's creatures. It also has Oubliette, one of the best creature control options ever, and Library of Alexandria and Bazaar of Baghdad, two of the best lands in the game.
2. Urza鈥檚 Saga
This set is what you get when you pull out all the stops. Urza's Saga has some of the best cards from all types, an absolute b??onanza of mana, power, crea?tures, and fantastic abilities.
Urza's Saga introduced some of the best lands in the game, like Gaea's Cradle and the very banned Tolarian Academy, but also revolutionary creatures such as Morphlin??g, Gilded Drake, and ultra-powerful spells like Time Spiral and Yawgmoth's will.
1. Alpha
In more recent years, we saw the introduction of new and supposedly more powerful cards, such as the Planeswalker ty??pe cards, but nothing beats the overpowered naivety of the OG. Alpha came out when the makers of the series were barely aware of what MTG would become 鈥?and o?f how easily they could break it.
Thus, Alpha is home to?? what the elders call the "Power 9", a group of cards so shamelessly overpowered t??hey would never be printed today for competitive play. The Black Lotus, an artifact you can sacrifice at no cost to get three mana, is the most well-known of the bunch for its rarity and absurd price, but every other card from the group is ridiculous as well. Extra turns at no cost? Getting to draw three cards whenever you want for one mana? Artifacts with zero cost that generated mana with no drawbacks? Alpha was wild, and there will never be anything like it ever again.

What began as a script for an episode of The X-Files ended up as one of the most surprising and lucrative horror film fr??anchises in history.
With Final Destination: Bloodlines looming menacingly over the horizon, as well as The Monkey, the spectacular horror-comedy take on Final Destination's formula shockin??g audiences everywhe??re, it's perhaps time to look at a final ranking of the five movies in this series.
The Final Destination (2009)
Even though it's by far the biggest moneymaker i??n the series, this foray into cheap 3D deaths and expensive tickets is easily its lowest point.
Even though it features a decent intro with a lot of mayhem at a race, The Final Destination then devolves into a string of nonsensical and silly-looking kills that fail to be anything other than unintentionally funny. That'??s quite the problem for the ??series that thrives by creating new fears of everyday stuff with each new installment.
Final Destination 3 (2006)
Final Destination 3 sits at a strange spot. Its opening sequen??ce 鈥?one of the most imp?ortant elements of this series 鈥?is good. Still, the rest of the deaths, due to a strange overuse of unrealistic CGI, fail to capture the realistic look of the kills in the first two movies, which, despite not necessarily being so, have always felt that way.
Also, Final Destination 3 fails to take the series in a new direction, and the ending feels extra mean ??and a definite step down from the more interesting ending of the first sequel.
Final Destination 5 (2011)
I'm glad for the existence of the fifth entry in the Final Destination series and not just to guarantee that The Final Destination doesn't? actually end up as the de f??acto final movie.
Final Destination 5's intro sequence isn't spectacular because of some less-than-stellar CGI and some surprisingly PG deaths, but the concept rules. The deaths throughout the movie are also uneven and never really hit the high bar set by the best movies in the series, but the film make??s up for it with a great ending that provides a neat twist that ties the whole series together.
Final Destination (2000)
The original Final Destination deserves a high place on the list, not simply for coming up with the concept but also for? giving us one of the most solid and freshest horror movies of the modern era. Though the intro sequence is?? far from the greatest in the series, and a few of the kills get convoluted to the point of you wondering if you're looking at slapstick comedy, the movie's fresh take on horror brings it a notch above most other movies in the series.
Though it remains a blast for newcomers even in 2025, ??the formula and flow would only reach its peak in the following feature.
Final Destination 2 (2003)
Movie sequels tend to follow the rule that bigger is better. Final Destination 2 does that, and it just works. The intro sequence is not just the most memorable in the series but one of ??the best in horror history in general. From then on, the movie gives us the most original, surprising, and coolest death sequences in the series.
It completely changed how we look at the concept and completely traumatized an entire generation regarding the seemingly normal concept of driving behind log transportation trucks. If you know, you know. Also, Final Destination 2 is the first movie to end on a hopeful note, a welcome change after an entire movie's worth of cutthroat suspense. It's a shame that the ser?ies pretty much ignored this ending going forward.

Having the ability to make strains in Schedule 1 is certainly useful (thanks to the increased sale value), and this guide will brief you about cre??ating mixes worth more than $60.
The biggest objective in Schedule 1 is to make a lot of money, as it directly helps grow your empire. Begin??ners won't have access to either Meth or Cocaine, and you'll have to make different Marijuana strains. T??hankfully, making a strain worth $60 or more is a pretty easy task.
Best Schedule 1 strain mix worth over $60
For this challenge, I will be using OG Kush, which is the mo?st beginner-friendly drug to get. This is the cheapest seed you can purchase inside the game, and it's available for all fr?om the start. This is the hardest drug to sell at a high price, and it's the perfect product for my experiment.
Typically, you can sell a piece of OG Kush between $35-$40 (depending on your negotiating skills as I have even sold them for $50 a piece). I will be listing an advanced strain with the OG K??ush, which is the cheapest option available with a market valuation of over $60.? To provide more options for players, I have also shared a recipe with Sour Diesel.
Here's the recipe strain you want to use to create a strain worth more than $60 while keeping ?your costs low.
- OG Kush + Banana + Cuke + Donut
This recipe creates Aspen Ass, which has a market value of $68. You have to spend an additional $7 worth of ingredients (Banana and Cuke cost $2 each while Donut costs ??$3) to practically double your revenue (if you negotiate well).
- Sour Diesel + Banana + Cuke
This recipe creates Aspen Shart, which has a market value of $61. While its valuation is lower than Aspen Ass', you spend $3 less ??to produce it. Again, the final sale price will depend on your negotiation skills.
I am not a fan of using Granddaddy Purple or Green Crack, but mixing one?? Cuke and one Banana will also produce a product worth over $60 market value.
Can you make a Meth/Cocaine strain in Schedule 1 with more than $60 market value?
With Meth and Cocaine, the strain doesn't matter, as even the cheapest one will have valuations above $60. Any Meth strain you produce will have a market value over $60, as the recommended price of Meth is $70. ??An advanced strain will automatically have a valuation of over $70. The same system applies to Cocaine, which has a recommended market price of $150.

Life is beautiful when you have some nice music to listen to. During BitLife's Bittersweet Symphony challenge, you'll understand the joys of ??music as you master the piano, pursue a career in the music industry, and attempt to escape crippling debt.
Table of contents
BitLife Bittersweet Symphony challenge guide
BitLife's Bittersweet Symphony challeng??e has five tasks to complete:
- Be born a male in Austria
- Master the piano
- Become a Music Composer
- Taxidermy three or more pets
- Go into debt
Alt??hough you're not required to buy any career packs or expansions for this challenge, having the Musician pack will unlock the musical special talent for your character. This talent makes it slightly easier to master instruments, but you c??an complete this challenge without it if you're a free-to-play player.
Be born a male in Austria
The first objective of BitLife's Bittersweet Symphony is to create a male character born in Austria. When making your character, choose Male as your star??ting gender and Austria as your country. The place doesn't matte?r for this particular challenge, so I chose the option the game defaulted to, Vienna.
If you have the?? Music special career pack, you can pick Music as your special talent, making it easier to master instruments like the piano lat??er. However, this is optional, and it's very easy to complete the challenge without this extra step if you don't have access to this feature.
Master the piano
Once your character turns six, they'll have access to the Instruments menu under Mind and Body. As a child, your character will have to ask their parents whether they can take l?essons, to which the parents will answer yes or no. Starting these early will make?? it much easier to master the piano later.
If your parents say no to lessons, remake your character or try again another yea??r. Typically, your parents say no happens because of low Money or Generosity stats, so you may have to make another character or two if you low-roll either of these. Otherwise, your odds of them saying yes are relatively high.
You can take lessons three times a year for free until your character reaches adulthood, so take advantage of this and attend as many as possible until you master the piano. If your progress is v?ery ??slow after a few years, you can remake your character and try again or spend some extra time in adulthood leveling it up. It'll cost money once you turn 18, but considering we'll need to go into debt later, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Become a Music Composer
Once your character turns 18, it's time to become a music composer. Becoming a music composer requires a university degree, with Music having the highest odds of success. Its starting salary is relatively low, so scroll to the bottom of the list as you check. If it doesn't appear right away, age up or close and reopen the BitLife app before rechecking.
The role you're looking for is Apprentice Music Composer. It'll appear wi??th a piano emoji and requires no job experience. Once you find it, apply for the job and pass the interview to become a music composer, knocking out another challenge task.
Taxidermy three or more pets
Throughout your character's life, you'll want to adopt at least three pets that you can taxidermy later. You can adopt an animal by heading to Activities, Pets, and either going to the Pet Store or Animal Shelter. Y??our best bet for this challenge is to adopt some elderly pets and give them as much love as possible before aging up.
Once they pass the rainbow bridge, you'll find options to mourn them or have them taxidermized. Choose Taxidermy and pick whichever option your character can afford before doing th?is three total times. What you do with them now is entirely up to you.
Go into debt
Your last task is to go into debt. There are many ways to do th??is, with the options below being a few suggestions:
- Marry someone in debt
- Quit your job after buying an expensive house
- Have lots of pets or children
- Buy a lot of cars without paying off their loans
- Go back to university and take out a loan
- Give your money away until you have $0 in your bank balance
Combining some of these methods will make it very easy to go into debt, letting you complete BitLife's Bittersweet Symphony challenge. As a reward for your efforts, you'll receive a mystery box containing a cosmetic item. At what cost? A lot, but at least it was fun. At least BitLife lets you win the lottery to make some money back.

- Go back to university and take out a loan
- Give your money away until you have $0 in your bank balance
Combining some of these methods will make it very easy to go into debt, letting you complete BitLife's Bittersweet Symphony challenge. As a reward for your efforts, you'll receive a mystery box containing a cosmetic item. At what cost? A lot, but at least it was fun. At least BitLife lets you win the lottery to make some money back.

Typing is a necessary skill in the modern world. Computer technology dominates everything from work to relaxation, and writing ?things by hand seems to be a dying art. Everyone know she QWERTY keyboard and touch typi?ng is a valuable skill.聽
Typing quickly and accurat??ely will only help in life, but learning how to do that doesn鈥檛 need to be boring. Gaming can help, and there are a lot of typing games on Steam to help.聽
Whether you鈥檙e a fan of medieval city builders, horror games, or just want something running in the background to boost your productivity, here are 10 of the b??est typing games available on Steam that can really boost your typing skills and keep you entertained along the way.
The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia
Let鈥檚 start this list with possibly the most mental of all of the games I plan to include, and let me introduce you to The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia. It鈥檚 a curious (and mildly infuriating) mix of bullet hell and typing practice, but if you want to surv?ive? against the demonic entities, you鈥檒l need quick fingers.聽
Your job in The Textorcist is to type out entire exorcisms (yes, ?they鈥檙e in Latin) while dodging the bullet hell mechanics. You鈥檙e in control of both, so you will employ all of your brainpower to make it through the various levels. However, if you want to focus on one and not the other, you can plug in a gamepad and simply enjoy the bullet dodging, minus the pressure of typing.聽
Cozy Typer
While many of the games included on this list involve some level of stress and frustration, Cozy Typer is exactly what it says on the tin. It鈥檚 a dedicated game to help you improve your typing speed and accuracy, and all you need t?o do is type out the phrases on the screen while enjoying the cozy, pixe?l-art atmosphere.聽
Throughout the story, Anita will guide you through the various typing lessons and offer you grades at the end of each session, plus advice on how you can improve. Any phrases you type perfe??ctly in Sto?ry Mode are unlocked for Freeplay Mode, so you can practice and get quicker every time you revisit the text.
Touch Type Tale
Touch Type Tale is a beautiful example of everything a typing game could possibly be. The best thing about it is that it鈥檚 fully narrated by Jim Broadbent (Professor Slughorn in聽Harry Potter or Frank Butterman in Hot Fuzz??, among? endless other roles), making it incredible in my eyes.聽
Touch Type Tale is a mixture of city-building and typing practice. Your aim in each level is to set up a village, make money, and defeat any bandits that threaten the peace and tranquility of your typing-based med?ieval life. You do all this by typing, with capitalized words controlling buildings and activities and non-capitalized ones controlling your troops.
Bongo Cat
I am obsessed with this little meme-based desktop friend and while technically you couldn鈥檛 really describe him as?? a game, per se, he is still deserving of a place on this list and I love him. So he鈥檚 here, and I make no apology for that.聽
Bongo Cat sits on your desktop and bashes away at his bongos every time you type. Not only doe??s he boost your productivity by simply existing and bashing away, but you鈥檒l also ea??rn hats and skins as you type. He is a permanent fixture on my desktop, and he鈥檚 free to download. Plus, you can sell your hats on the Steam Community Market.
Keys of Fury
If you鈥檙e a fan of beat 鈥榚m up games and retro graphics but also want to improve your typing skills and speed (I know, that鈥檚 a weird crossover), then Keys of Fury will soon be here to help! Every time you type a perfect word with no typos, you鈥檒l earn coins that can then be used to pur??chase upgrades, outfits, and other goodies.聽
There are multiple game modes to keep your attention, including Story Mode, Tower Mode, and Challenge Mode. The game is designed to be easily modded as well, so you can even in??sert your word selections to test yourself against. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, anyone?聽Sadly, you'll need to wait to play this one, but it's set to re?lease at some point in 2025.
The Typing of the Dead: Overkill
A new take on the old House of the Dead series of games, which hold some pretty traumatic memories for my childhood self, Tying of the Dead: Overkill takes the familiar rail-shooter mechanics and throws in the added complication of needing a fast typing speed to survive. Words are complet??ely randomized, so it鈥檚 not as if you can memorize a sequence to improve your chances, either.
If you鈥檙e not very good at typing quickly, then I鈥檇 recommend trying some of the more relaxed games on this list before diving into this fantastic and quirky horror. On the plus side, there are multiple DLCs available once you get through the main game, and even a fully faithful port of the PlayStation 3 version of House of the Dead is included.
Blood Typers
The tagline for Blood Typers is 鈥渄eath is just a typo away鈥? and they鈥檙e not kidding. You enter into a cursed film studio and immediately get attacked by the horror characters from horror movies of the past. You need to type very quickly to kill the ??enemies coming at you, so touch typing is a must, but you can team up with friends as the game offers online co-op as well.聽
There鈥檚 a little bit of a 鈥渃hoose your own adventure鈥?vibe, which, combined with the delightfully retro art style, leaves you feeling almost nostalgic for horror games of?? yesteryear. It鈥檚 genuinely pretty terrifying when you鈥檙e up against one of the zombies and you鈥檝e made a typo you didn鈥檛 notice, and nothing is working like it should.
Every Letter
If you鈥檝e ever watched Violet Evergarden and thought, 鈥淗ey, I wouldn鈥檛 mind being an Auto Memories Doll鈥? then Every Letter might be the closest you鈥檒l get to achieving that dream, and it鈥檚 completely free on Steam. You鈥檒l be writing letters on behalf of? other people, trying to understand their thoughts, and then putting them to paper in the best way.聽
You get a typ??ewriter and full creative control over what you type, so you don鈥檛 even need to be particularly good at touch typing to do well. Everything is pre?tty relaxed, although you can鈥檛 delete anything you write, so any mistakes are permanent fixtures in the letters that you craft up for customers.聽
Glyphica: Typing Survival
Glyphica: Typing Survival is a survival game that sees you typing out randomized words to shoot at enemies approaching you around the screen. As you kill more enemies, you level up and unlock new perks to use in battle. Everything is decided by typing, and you wo??n鈥檛 be able to take your eyes off the screen for very long, so you鈥檒l need to develop some touch typing skills to get through the rounds.
Glyphica: Typing Survival entered early access in October 2024 and is available in multiple languages??. A whole roadmap of content will eventually be added to the game, including new upgrades, weapons, game modes, and a lot more.聽
The Chef鈥檚 Shift
The Chef鈥檚 Shift is set to release on March 31, but there鈥檚 a demo that can be downloaded now. At first glance, it seems like a restaurant manager sim that should be pretty cozy, and it starts out that way too. Typing your way through the day, prepping orders and dishing out coffee is really fun, and the art style is really cute to boot?. There鈥檚 an underlying story, and ever?y level is accompanied by upbeat Italian 鈥榩izzeria style鈥?music.
However, a??s you progress and add in four-step pizza making, multiple types of drinks, and rats that need dealing with quickly, it all gets pretty stressful. You鈥檒l definitely get better at touch typing, though, and even the menu is controlled by typing the various words, and sometimes tourists come in who will test you further by asking for foreign words to be typed.

The ultimate 100-floor tower event awaits you. In the Arise Crossover Infernal Castle, you can earn many rewards, including G-rank Shadows, as well as Rare and Legendary Powder Dust. To get you ready before you dive into this challenge, we prepared the following Arise Crossover Infernal Castle event guide.
Table of Contents
Arise Crossover Infernal Castle Event Walkthrough
The Infernal Castle event in Arise Crossover occurs every hour at XX:45 minutes. For example, you can expect the Infernal Castle event to start at 12:45, 1:45, and so on. To enter the Infernal Castle, go to the spawn area of the Solo City and enter the flaming gate. The gate remains open only for 10 minutes, and you can re-enter the Infernal Castle if you leave it. Lastly, you have to take on the Infernal Castle challenge on your own, as you can't party up before entering it.
Recommended Shadows and Weapons for the Infernal Castle
To efficiently progress through the Infernal Castle in Arise Crossover, you will need powerful weapons and Shadows. In general, you want to have at least 1Qa combined DPS to clear the first 20-25 floors. From then on, the HP of enemies scales a lot harder. On floor 30, you will start struggling to cl?ear a floor in under 60 seconds, even with 20 Qa DPS. With that in mind, here are our Shadow and weapon ??recommendations:
- Shadows: Ziru (G or SS), Monarch (N, G, or SS), Vermillion (G or SS)
- Weapons: Reaper's Scythe (SS or S), Twin Runic Blades (SS, S, or A)
Progressing Through the Floors of the Infernal Castle
When you enter the Infernal Castle, you will have 100 floors to beat. With each floor, enemies will have more and more HP. At the beginning, there is a time limit of 15 minutes. However, when you defeat the last enemy on a floor, 60 seconds will be added to the timer. The enemy structure i??n the Infernal Castle looks like this:
- Floors 1鈥?strong>15 鉃?A-rank enemies
- Floors 16鈥?strong>29 鉃?S-rank enemies
- Floors 30+ 鉃?SS-rank enemies
Infernal Castle Event Rewards
In the Arise Crossover Infernal Castle, you can arise or destroy enemies for rewards. Every five floors, you get to fight a specific Dungeon Boss that will also drop some Tickets 
. Now, by arising enemies here, you can even get S, SS, and G-rank versions of them, depending on which floor you defeated them. The Vermillion (Igris) boss here can arise as a G-rank, which is one of the best Shadows in the game.
When destroying enemies here, you can get Common, Rare, and Legendary Powder Dust. Also, you can get weapons that those enemies drop in the relevant Dungeons they are from. Keep in mind that both Powder Dust and weapons are rare drops. So, consider getting the Loot enchantment on your weapon and the 2X Drops Chance battlepass to increase your Powder Dust drop rates.
Best Arise Crossover Infernal Castle Farming Method
The best way to farm the Infernal Castle in Arise Crossover is to do it twice. First, prepare by setting the Solo City as your spawn beforehand. Wait for the Infernal Castle gate to spawn and immediately enter it. Progress through the floors until XX:53 or XX:54. Leave the Infernal Castle and then immediately re-enter it. Thi?s way, you are maximizing the amount of time you can spend grind?ing the Infernal Castle.
To stay efficient, you should be able to one-shot basically all enemies on floors 1鈥?0. If you are close to reaching the cap with a specific type of Powder Dust, make sure to convert some of it at the Exchange Shop on the upper floor of the Guild building in Solo City.
Recommended Battlepasses and How to Get Tickets to Buy Them
Battlepasses can significantly improve your clear speed in the Arise Crossover Infernal Castle. You can buy them either with Tickets or Robux. To farm Tickets quickly, complete easy S and SS rank Dungeons, as the bosses in them drop more than 15 Tickets per run. Now, to stay efficient in the ??Infernal Castle, we suggest getting the following gamepasses:
- Instant Destroy: lets you instantly destroy enemies for loot
- 2X Drops Chance: increases your drop chances by 50%
- Auto Clicker: doubles the attack speed of the auto-click (not needed if you are using an auto-clicker)
- Auto Attack: makes your Shadows auto-attack enemies
- Extra Equip: lets you equip three more Shadows
That sums up our guide on the Infernal Castle event in Arise Crossover. If you want to find out how to get more DPS from your Shadows, then make sure to check out our guides on how to level up and upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover.

To stay efficient, you should be able to one-shot basically all enemies on floors 1鈥?0. If you are close to reaching the cap with a specific type of Powder Dust, make sure to convert some of it at the Exchange Shop on the upper floor of the Guild building in Solo City.
Recommended Battlepasses and How to Get Tickets to Buy Them
Battlepasses can significantly improve your clear speed in the Arise Crossover Infernal Castle. You can buy them either with Tickets or Robux. To farm Tickets quickly, complete easy S and SS rank Dungeons, as the bosses in them drop more than 15 Tickets per run. Now, to stay efficient in the Infernal Castle, we sug??gest getting the following gamepasses:
- Instant Destroy: lets you instantly destroy enemies for loot
- 2X Drops Chance: increases your drop chances by 50%
- Auto Clicker: doubles the attack speed of the auto-click (not needed if you are using an auto-clicker)
- Auto Attack: makes your Shadows auto-attack enemies
- Extra Equip: lets you equip three more Shadows
That sums up our guide on the Infernal Castle event in Arise Crossover. If you want to find out how to get more DPS from your Shadows, then make sure to check out our guides on how to level up and upgrade Shadows in Arise Crossover.

When Stardew Valley received update 1.5 on PC and consoles in December 2020, it also received a new island called Ginger Island, an??d let me tell you, there's a lot to do there. With some new additions in subsequent updates, there's never been a better time to find paradise.
To reach Ginger Island, which is essentially your home away from home once you've established yourself, you'll first need to complete the Community Center bundles 鈥?or the equivalent JojaMart questline if you're a Stardew Valley player with a wild side.
This means there's potentially a ton of setup if you're a new player who hasn't already gone through the game's "main quest." ??If you have, there isn't too much extra work.
Trust me, though, it's worth it 鈥?Ginger Island is one of the best parts of Stardew Valley.

How to fix Willy's Boat in Stardew Valley
Once you've finished your Community Center bundles or JojaMart payments, Willy will mail you a letter saying he has unlocked the backroom in the Fish Shop. The letter can take ?two days to arrive, so hang in there.
Prior to update 1.5, this ominous black door inside the shop didn't serve a purpose, but now it's your ticket to Ginger Island. Inside the Fish Shop's unlocked room, you'll find a decades-old boat in need of repairs. As is often the case in Stardew Valley, your job is only just getting started.
SPECIAL OFFER: Earn Money By Playing Games With Pogo
To get the boat in working order, you'll need to gather a selection of items, each taking a fair amo??unt of work. There's no other way to reach Ginger Island without repairing the boat, so strap in because this might take a while.
Five Iridium Bars
You need these to fix the anchor of the boat. Otherwise, you'll float past Ginger Island?, and nobody wants to see paradise slip through their fingers or disappear over the horizon. There are a few different ways to get your hands on these:
- By placing 5 Iridium Ore and 1 Copper into a Furnace. Iridium Ore can be found while exploring the Mines or breaking rocks within the Quarry.
- Golden Fishing Chests
- Possible drops from the following monsters:
- Shadow Shaman (0.2%)
- Shadow Brute (0.2%)
- Iridium Bat (0.8%)
- Purple Slime (0.9%)
- Iridium Golems
- The Statue of Endless Fortune has a 25% chance to drop one Iridium Bar every day, as long as it isn鈥檛 a villager's birthday.
- Occasionally sold at the Traveling Cart for between 3,000 and 5,000 Gold.
- Purchased from Maru at the Desert Festival for 50 Calico Eggs each.
Five Battery Packs
There's no use fixing the boat if you haven't fixed the machine, which will?? give you your ticket to Ginger Island. You'll need 5 Battery Packs to fix the ticket machine, and, thankfully, these are pretty easy to get:
- Created by Lightning Rods during a thunderstorm
- Created by a Solar Panel after seven sunny days
- Occasionally sold at the Traveling Cart for between 1,500 and 2,500 Gold
- Possible drop from Iridium Bats (5%)
Hardwood
Ensure the boat doesn't sink before you reach your destination. For that, you'll need hardwood.聽200, to be exact.
This hardwood ??is the most challenging resource in this quest to get your hands on, but if you plant some mahogany trees on the farm, they'll grow into tr??ees that you can chop down to get hardwood. On top of this, the Secret Woods (to the west of Cindersap Forest) has daily regenerating Hardwood stumps, which you can break to obtain 12 Hardwood per day.
How to get to Ginger Island in Stardew Valley
After repairing Willy's boat, you'll be allowed into the Fish Shop at 8:00 a.m. every day. This is worth mentioning since time is money in Stardew Valley, and it's important to maximize it until you can ?set up a new beachfront property. You don?'t want to doze off.
Traveling to Ginger Island works like traveling to the Calico Desert once you've repaired the bus. ??Purchase a ticket, enter the boat, and sit back while Willy does all the hard work.
One last note! Before you take off with Willy, make sure?? you bring a watering can on your first trip 鈥?it's not?? necessarily a tool you use daily at this point in your playthrough, but you'll need it if you poke around the Volcano Dungeon.
What's on Ginger Island in Stardew Valley?
After an initial cutscene the first time you visit, you'll be free to explore the ??parts of Ginger Island that are currently unlocked to you. Ginger Island holds a myriad of secrets to uncover, so get ready for an adventure.
Golden Walnuts
Unfortunately, unlocking new areas and features of Ginger Island requires something a little unusual 鈥?Golden Walnuts. These can be exchanged with Parrots, who will grant you access to new locations. You'll need at least 100 of these nuts held aside to unlock Qi's Walnut Room, where you can ??find a few new things to keep you oc?cupied, such as the Perfection Tracker.
Beyond this, you'll need them to unlock Ginger Islan??d's regions, buildings, and other resources to make trave?rsing this area easier. Most of them are hiding on the island, but you can occasionally find them by killing monsters, farming, fishing, and breaking crates in the Volcano Dungeon.
Volcano Dungeon
If you enjoy the mines and Skull Cavern, I have good news: Ginger Island has its own dungeon. Volcano Dungeon, located in the nort?hernmost region of Ginger Island, has ten levels, much like floors 80 to 120 of the regular Mines. However, it comes with its own set of enemies and obstacles, including lava you can extinguish with a watering can. Advan?cing to the end of this dungeon gives you access to the Volcano's forge, letting you pay Cinder Shards to get exclusive perks on your tools and weapons.
Island Farmhouse
Much like the mainland, Ginger Island has its own farmhouse on the island's west side, which you can live in and upgrade. Its first initial repair costs 20 Golden Walnuts, with a mailbox upgrade costing five walnuts and an Obelisk costing 20. It'll act like a fully upgraded house, giving you an additional place to decorate or sp??end ??the night.
Buildings and stores
Alongside the farmhouse and Volcano Dungeon, Ginger Island ??has additional structures you can build and explore:
- Beach Resort
- Pirate Cove
- Dig Site and Island Field Office
- Qi's Walnut Room
These all serve different purposes on Ginger Island, with the Beach Resort acting as a bar and the Pirate Cove being a great fishing spot on the island's east side. As you approach the island's center, you'll encounte?r Dig Site, a smaller version of Pelican Town's museum, where you can hand in animal bones.
Ginger Island also rewards you for collecting Golden Walnuts??. After collecting 100, you'll unlock Qi's Walnut Room and new challenges within and outside the island.
Parrot Express
Like Pelican Town's minecart system,? Ginger Island has a fast-travel system known as the Parrot Express. By paying Golden Walnuts to rebuild these spots, you can teleport around the island, making navigation noticeably easier. There are five Parrot Express locations to unlock:
- Volcano
- Farm
- Dig Site
- Jungle
- Docks
Characters
There are also new NPCs to meet on Ginger Island. Although none of them are marriage?? candidates, they all have different purposes, from being your friend to selling?? you various items. Here's a list of every character you can find on Ginger Island:
- Birdie
- Leo
- Professor Snail
- Island Trader
- Mr. Qi
If you want a new friend, Leo is who you're looking for. Leo is a young boy who lives within Ginger Island's east jungle and communicates with the island's parrots, including a Golden Walnut Hint parrot. Raising his hearts w??ill unlock new cutscenes with him, including a special event starting from ??six hearts.
We also have two quest NPCs 鈥?Birdie and Professor Snail. Birdie lives on the west side of Ginger Island and is involved in? a brief quest, Th??e Pirate's Wife. Professor Snail runs an Island Field Office near the Dig Site, but you'll first have to spend 10 Golden Walnuts to repair the bridge connecting it to the rest of Ginger Island. Doing so unlocks the Field Office for donating bones.
The Island Trader is Ginger Island's main merchant. You'll initially unlo??ck it by traveling to the middle of the map and using?? 10 Golden Walnuts to unlock its stall. Afterward, you can buy items like Golden Coconuts, Warp Totems, and furniture for island resources.
Last but not least, we have Mr. Qi. Normally, you can interact with him occasion?ally as a special NPC during Stardew Valley's quest line. However, his Ginger Island version requires collecting 100 Golden Walnuts to open his w?alnut room on the west side of the map. Entering this room unlocks Qi challenges, rewarding you with gems you can spend on exclusive rewards.
Special climate
However, the climate is one of the best parts of Ginger Island. Not only is it a tropical paradise where you can feel the sun on your skin, but the farm here also follows the same conventions as the Greenhouse back on the farm. You can grow any crop here, regardless of seasonal limitations. That way, you can plant some of Stardew Valley's best crops without worrying about the weather.

The launch of Season 3 has brought in a new attachment, a Conversion Kit for the SWAT 5.56 Grau Assault Rifle.

In the world of Fisch on Roblox, the new Animal Pools are one of the coolest (and trickiest) things to find. These mysterious sp?ots spawn? randomly, making the hunt both exciting and unpredictable. You鈥檒l need a bit of luck and some rare materials if you want a chance to spot one. But if you do, the rewards are totally worth the effort!
Table of Contents
Animal Pool Location in Fisch
Animal Pools in Fisch have a random chance to spawn at a random location each day. They spawn in both the First and Second Sea, so it does not matter how far in the game you are. Once one spawns, you will receive a chat notification: "An Animal Pool has spawned near a Landmark." Unfor??tunately, there鈥檚 no guaranteed way to spawn Animal Pools, but some techniques might improve your chances.
- Sundial Totem: Changing the days is an effective way to increase your chances of finding an Animal Pool out in the open waters.
- Private Servers: Being on a private server alone will drastically increase your chances of being the one to find an Animal Pool while using Sundial Totems and such.
- Fast Boat: A fast-moving boat will help you cover wider grounds and assist in finding an active Animal Pool.
Another way to do it would be to spam the Smo??kescreen Totem and pray. On average, i??t doesn't perform as effectively as the Sundial Totem. But it can work if you鈥檙e lucky and in the right place at the right time.

In the world of Fisch on Roblox, the new Animal Pools are one of the coolest (and trickiest) things to find. These mysterious spots spawn randomly, making the hunt both exciting and unpredictable. You鈥檒l need a bit of luck and some rare materia??ls if you want a chance to spot one. But if you do, the rewards are totally worth the effort!

Animal Pool Location in Fisch
Animal Pools in Fisch have a random chance to spawn at a random location each day. They spawn in both the First and Second Sea, so it does not matter how far in the game you are. Once one spawns, you will receive a chat notification: "An Animal Pool has spawned near a Landmark." Unfortunately, there鈥檚 no guaranteed ??way to spawn Animal Pools, but some techniques might imp??rove your chances.
- Sundial Totem: Changing the days is an effective way to increase your chances of finding an Animal Pool out in the open waters.
- Private Servers: Being on a private server alone will drastically increase your chances of being the one to find an Animal Pool while using Sundial Totems and such.
- Fast Boat: A fast-moving boat will help you cover wider grounds and assist in finding an active Animal Pool.
Another way to do it would be to spam the Smokescreen Totem and pray. On average, it doesn't perform as effectively as the Sun??dial Totem. But it can work if you鈥檙e luc??ky and in the right place at the right time.

The first update in Fisch, since the launch of the Second Sea, has arrived, and it's literally a jungle. Unlike most updates, this one will last for two weeks, and there's quite a bit to talk about. Here's Everything new in the Fisch Animal Update.
Animal Pools in Fisch
The biggest new addition in this update is Animal Pools (Animal Hunt). These are, essentially, like raid battles in Fisch. When an Animal Pool spawns, an Animal Fish will appear somewhere in the sea with a protective bubble around it. Players need to fish around or inside this bubble in order to lower its HP to zero. You lower the bubble's HP by catching a fish. As you can see, the more players fish at the same time, the faster the prot??ective bub?ble will disappear.
Once the bubble is gone, all players compete to catch the single Animal Fish.?? While this might seem similar to limited time fish, such as Great White Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, and Whale Sharks, with an extra step, there are four main differences.
- There are 10 types of Animal Fish, and only one type will spawn at a time. As of writing this, only the Octophant (Elephant fish) can spawn in the Second Sea, and we assume a different animal will spawn every hour or so
- Each Animal Fish pool has its own bestiary. You don't really need to worry about this too much, because you'll likely complete these naturally as you work on catching the Animal Fish
- You can actually spawn (and almost immediately re-spawn) an Animal Pool by spamming Tempest and Smokescreen Totems (you may also spawn a Sea Leviathan while doing this in the Second Sea)
- Each Animal Pool will only spawn in one of the two Seas. Make sure you have access to the Second Sea if you want to catch them all.
It's still not clear how these ?Animal Pools rotate, but we'll update the guide as soon as we get more info.
Abyssal Zenith nerf
Have you maybe tried to get to the Abyssal Zenith but ended up getting set back by those patrolling fish? Yup, we've been there too, and it definitely took us a few tries to reach the area. Now, this is much easier because the fish can't spot you so easily, you won't bump into as many invisible walls and you also won't be set back to the beginning. Additionally, it seems like it's much easier to get the lanterns from the Baby Anglersh. We can't really confirm this, because we already did this part, but we assume that you won't get eaten by a different Baby ??Anglerfish while you're trying to grab a lantern from a different one.
Favoriting Fish for crafting fix
Prior to the update, if you caught a fish you needed to craft something, you would obviously favorite it, so you don't sell it accidentally, right? Right, unfortunately, when you actually went to c??raft the item, you couldn't use these fish because they were... favorited. In other words, we had to unfavorite a fish so we could use it to craft something.
Well, not anymore. Now, if you want to use a favorited fish for crafting, it will just work, without you needing the unfavorite the fish first. Su?re, this only saves a fe??w seconds, but it's a welcome fix anyway you look at it.
New Premium Items in Fisch Animal Update
As always,? we've got the ?usual suspects in the premium shop. Here's everything that's on the menu:
- Elephant's Wrath聽鈥?799 Robux 鈥?S.S. Tuskhorn (Boat), Hippo Lantern, and x64 Server Luck
- Lion's Fury聽(boat) 鈥?2,499 Robux 鈥?Speed 235 S/ps, Steering 80 degrees, Acceleration: 0,7 S/ps
- Golden Roar聽鈥?299 Robux 鈥?Skin for Rod of the Trident Rod
- Silverback Dreamer聽鈥?799 Robux 鈥?Skin for the Great Dreamer Rod
- Celestial Prismheart聽鈥?1,699 Robux 鈥?Skin for the Ethereal Prism Rod
- Porky聽鈥?79 Robux 鈥?Bobber
- Silverback Fury聽鈥?79 Robux 鈥?Bobber
- Lion's Mane聽鈥?99 Robux- Bobber
- Fischer's Bobber Bundle聽鈥?199 Robux 鈥?Bobber Pack (all three Bobbers)
That's all there is to it. Good luck catching all the Animal Fish and filling out their respective bestiaries. If you haven't already, check out our Fisch codes for some free goodies. To stay up to date with future and past updates, check out our All Fisch Events Schedule Guide.

Version 2.3 of Wuthering Waves will be the game's first anniversary patch. Furthermore, new leaks have surfaced online, suggesting that this update ??will release a?? new chibi map for an anniversary event.
Interestingly, Kuro Games may have also teased the chibi ??event in the recent version 0.1 trailer and version 2.2 livestream. Read on for more details about the leaked chibi map event in version 2.3.
New chibi map for anniversary in version 2.3 (leaks)
The upcoming version 2.3 will celebrate Wuthering Waves' first anniversary. While the developers have confirmed that the new update will arrive early, they haven't revealed any information on the anniversary rewards and events. However, a fairly reliable leaker, wuwaland, has shared multiple images of a new chibi map for an anniversar?y event in version 2.3.
The map itself doesn't look that big, and it features major landmarks from Huanglong, Black Shores, and Rinascita. The large dragon rock in Mt. Firmament and the city hall in Jinzhou cov??er half of the map. Meanwhile, the other half showcases a mini Ragunna City and the towers in Thessaleo Fells. Lastly, there's a greenhouse from the Black Shores in the middle of the map.
Furthermore, several small platforms can be seen all over the map, which are likely a path for the c??hibi charact??ers to travel around the map. Speaking of chibi characters, Kuro Games may have teased the rumored anniversary event in the version 0.1 trailer and version 2.2 livestream.
Rovers' chibi avatars at the end of the trailer match the leaked chibi forms of the characters from the anniversary event. The characters only have a head and two small circles for hands instead of their whole body. Furthermore, the title of the trailer mentions the term - Shrink-laris. This also co??uld be the name of the chibi?? map in version 2.3's anniversary event.
Version 2.2 livestream also teased the first anniversary by showing miniature rocks, trees, and a large cake getting sucked into a Tacet Mark. Th?is might be another hint for the chibi map.
More on Wuthering Waves' Version 2.3 anniversary patch
Players can also look forward to some exciting rewards in Wuthering Waves 2.3. According to u/Ofanaht, new wings and 10 Radiant Tides will be given awa??y in the upcoming update. However, it is unclear if they are a part of the game's first anniversary rewards or if they will be available in a paid gift box.
The developers will reveal all the details about Wuthering Waves' anniversary in the next livestream, which shou?ld happen in the coming weeks.

As you explore the wastelands in the boots of Arrisa, you'll come across different questlines in AI Limit. How you tackle them will end up influencing the story's ultimate ou?tcome, and this guide will brief you about all three endings of the game.
How to get AI Limit Ending 1: The End of Childhood
The End of Childhood can be considered the norma?l ending for your campaign, and most players will finish on this one. To trigger this ending, you'll have to complete the following steps.
- Leave Delpha's questline unfinished by failing to obtain the Azure Branch.
- To do so, speak with Loskid once she is defeated.
- She will give you the Golden Branch key item once her dialog choices are over.
- This automatically locks you from completing the quests related to the other endings.
- Go to the final area and defeat Aether.
How to get AI Limit Ending 2: Boundless Stars
This is essentially the "good" ending, but you'll have to make many correct decisions. The pursuit begins when you obtain?? the Azure Branch before speaking with Loskid. This completes Delpha's storyline and locks out The End of Childhood ending. From here on, you can choose between two endings (this one and Second Dawn). Let's first take a look at how to complete Delpha's questline.
- Find the seven soil samples in the main area. This process is required to get Purified Soil.
- Defeat Ursula, the Mutated, to obtain the Living Seed item.
Ursula is a hidden boss at the聽Outer-Wall Ruins - Ancient Machine Works. Take the long walkway from聽Assembly Hall聽over the?? pit. A large robot is present at this location. Reach the end of the walkway聽opposite the door near the robo??t. Look down, and you'll f??ind an item on a pipe.
Jump down on the first pipe and continue downward. You'll need to heal in between your jumps. Continue on the path, defeat Ursula, and then speak with her to receive the Living Seed.
- Your next task is to go back to Delpha to get the Arboretum Soil. Then, get the seed planted at the Branch, which will get you the Azure Branch item.
- The next part takes you to the Courtyard of the Tree area in Sewer Town. This region falls under the part of Millaire's questline, and it's hidden from plain sight.
- Go to Sewer Town - Center and take the Central Station Branch. Continue along the main path until you come across a hole.
- Drop down onto the floor and keep moving along the subway car path.
- Reach the Underground Shaft Branch, and take the path that drops down to the bottom. Here, you'll find the Gate of the Tree Branch.
- Interact with the Memory, and you'll get Seal of the Tree.
Go back to the Temporary Campsite, speak with Millaire, and give her the Seal of the Tree. She will give you a new location. Go to the Gate of the Tree, and she will open the door that allows you to access the Guardians of the Tree hidden boss.
Reach the far ledge in this area and jump toward the tree in the distance (after defeating the hidden boss). After reaching the Courtyard of the Tree area, repair the Branch and go upstairs to speak with Charon.
Once all this is done, return to Loskid and obtain the Golden Branch. Return to Central Garden Branch and go upstairs to find a pool. Interact with the pool to reach Elysium, defeat Aether, and you'll get a dialogue choice. Select "Accept the Invitation" to trigger the Boundless Stars ending.
How to get AI Limit Ending 3: Second Dawn
The steps to trigger Second Dawn is almost the same as Boundless Stars, but there's one extra step: complete Shirley's questline.
- Speak with Delpha after completing Shirley's questline. You'll get the Azure Branch from Delpha and speak with him again to get Nameless Flower.
- Go to Shirley's final spot. To get to the spot, go to the Path of Epitome Branch from Hagios Patir - Upper Level.
- Speak with Shirley and give her the Nameless Flower.
The remaining steps are the same as mentioned in Boundless Stars, as you speak with Loskid to get the Golden Branch. Take the pool to reach Elysium and defeat Aether. You'll get two choices where you'll have to select "Decline the Invitation." Choosing to Accept the Invitation will trigger Boundless Stars.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 season three is in full? swing, and several new weapons, along with so??me returning ones, have made their way with the update.
Here are some of the best weapons you can use in the new BO6 season.
Table of contents
Meta loadouts for BO6 Season 3
Kilo 141
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic | Kepler Microflex (Precision Sight Picture) |
| Muzzle | Monolithic Suppressor (No Mini-Map Firing Ping, Bullet Velocity, Damage Range) |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel (Damage Range, Bullet Velocity) |
| Underbarrel | Ranger Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control, Sprinting Movement Speed) |
| Rear Grip | Commando Grip (ADS Speed, Jumping Sprint to Fire Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, Jumping ADS Speed) |
Considering the fact that the Kilo 141 has a high rate of fire while offering a lower recoil, it's easily one of the top picks for Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
CR-56 AMAX
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator (Vertical Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization) |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel (Damage Range, Bullet Velocity) |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Rear Grip | Commando Grip (ADS Speed, Jumping Sprint to Fire Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, Jumping ADS Speed) |
| Fire Mods | Rapid Fire (Fire Rate) |
The CR-56 AMAX is a mid-range beast thank??s to its insane firepower. If you want to deal the maximum ?damage to enemies, use this AR.
AS VAL
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Underbarrel | Ranger Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control, Sprinting Movement Speed) |
| Magazine | Extended Mag I (Magazine Ammo Capacity) |
| Rear Grip | CQB Grip (Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, Jumping Sprint to Fire Speed) |
| Stock | Infiltrator Stock (Aim Walking Movement Speed) |
| Laser | Strelok Laser (Hipfire to ADS accuracy) |
The AS-VAL is silent, deadly, and super accurate, making it one of the top choices for those sweaty Black Ops 6 multiplayer lobbies.
KSV
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator (Vertical Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization) |
| Barrel | Long Barrel (Damage Range) |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Rear Grip | Ergonomic Grip (Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, Aim Down Sight Speed, Jumping Aim Down Sight Speed) |
| Stock | Infiltrator Stock (Aim Walking Movement Speed) |
The KSV SMG deals great damage in close-range combat and is a grea??t alternative to the C9 loadout mentioned below.
C9
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator (Vertical Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization) |
| Barrel | Long Barrel (Damage Range) |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Rear Grip | Ergonomic Grip (Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, Aim Down Sight Speed, Jumping Aim Down Sight Speed) |
| Fire Mods | Recoil Springs (Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control) |
The C9 is dangerously effective when it c??omes to close-range combat, and you will get that a lot in multiplayer.
Now that you know the best weapons for BO6 multiplayer, check out the best loadouts for Verdansk in Warzone season 3.

When you initially think of Call of Duty, fighting a nonstop horde of the undead probably isn't the first thing you think of. Well, at least until the Zombies mode became a staple of the Call of Duty ser??ies, becoming as much a part of the franchise as it??s multiplayer and campaign modes.
Since its original inception in Call of Duty: World at War, many players have grown attached to Zombies, as it provides a fun co-op excursion from the series' standard modes. However, with so many titles now including the mode, the number of available maps has skyrocketed. Here are the 18 best Zombies maps across all Call of Duty games.
18. Nacht Der Untoten - World at War
If you were someone who had just completed the campaign for Call of Duty: World at War, you may have been greeted by this map right as the credits ended. Initially, "Nazi Zombies" was hidden away from players until they completed the main storyline. Once the credits ended, players would be immediately thrust into the first Zombies map, Nacht Der Untoten. Tran??slating to "Night of the Undead," this small locale was an edited version of a building from the campaign mission "Hard Landing."
Players are tra??pped inside the building with no means of escape as the undead march to the many windows. You would then have to fend off the zombies for as long as possible. Nacht is a simple map focusing on the main gameplay loop of round-based survival. Players gain points from shooting zombies and can upgrade their arsenal by purchasing weapons with the points. Whether that's by purchasing them from the chalk drawings on the walls, grabbing the sniper from the upstairs cabinet, or taking their chances by opening the "Mystery Box" in the room on the ground floor.
Players only had their skills to rely on, as the onslaught of zombies was relentless, and help wasn't c??oming anytime?? soon.
17. The Tomb - Black Ops 6
I really wanted to place The Tomb higher on this Call of Duty: Zombies map ranking, especially since it's one of the latest releases. But, unfortunately, it just didn't manage to leave a lasting impression like the others. There aren't many e??xciting points of interest to explore; it's mostly set in a sparse, lifeless dig site and tomb. The story was pretty underwhelming, and without many cutscenes to enrich the narrative, it struggled to hold my attention. The Dark Aether Nexus does stand out, though鈥攊t's a visually stunning new take on the Crazy Place, with vibrant colors and an otherworldly vibe that feels like it came straight from the depths of space.
Another highlight was the return of the Ice Staff, one of my all-time favorite Wonder Weapons in Zombies. However, the only downside was that the other staffs didn't make the cut, which only made me long for them even more. I get that it might have been a challenge to bring all four into the modern era of CoD, but it still felt str??ange to single out the Ice Staff while leaving the others behind.
As for the boss fight, it was a bit of a letdown. You're stuck battling an enemy that barely moves, relying on zombies to do the heavy lifting for it. To make matters worse, certain weapons, like the Mustang and Sally, couldn't even be used? once its protective barrier was down. It would've bee?n nice to know beforehand that only a few guns could be used here.
16. TranZit - Black Ops II
Black Ops II was one of the first games to introduce me to Zombies mode, showcasing its now classic round-based matches. In its heyd?ay, TranZit was probably the most talked about map, where players take a deadly scenic route in a one to four-player co-op ride. You'll jump on and off a bus, with the driver T.E.D.D. commanding its loading and drop-off times.
As much as I want this to be a nostalgic gem, it sadly doesn't compare to Zombies mode now. Given the s?mall size of the bus and numerous zombie hordes, it can be way too overwhelming to handle. And it's not the good kind of overwhelming that I've got?ten used to, since it feels like there is no chance of survival. Not only does the lava on the ground burn you alive, but the fog makes it almost impossible to see.
Don't even get me started on the Wonder Weapon, the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (Jet Gun). Players will go through all that trouble of building this tool, only for it to barely kill any zombies. It also makes you move slower than usual, which doesn't really make sense for Zombies mode's fast-paced environment. Rewards like this just ??aren't satisfying enough to make it worthwhile (But don??'t worry it gets a buff in the later iterations).
TranZit, despite its flaws, was a game-changer for the Call of Duty series. It was the first Zombies mode to introduce buildables, a feature that has since become a staple in the series. TranZit's innovative gameplay and features paved the way for the evolution of the series, and we ow?e it a debt of gratitude for that.
15. Der Reise - World at War
Der Reise, or "The Giant," was the final map to be given to players in World at War's life cycle, joining ??DLC as an addition to standard multiplayer maps. Since the zombies first appeared in Nacht Der Untoten, the mode had undergone some changes, transitioning from defending a single location to a more expansive map where letti??ng in the undead didn't spell the end of your crew.
The map puts play?ers at ground zero of the zombie outbreak, a facility run by the elusive "Group 935." While the lore wasn't at the forefront of the gameplay, dedicated players could tune into the many radios around the map to uncover the story of Dr. Edward Richtofen. You'll learn about the be??trayal of his partner, Ludvig Maxis, and the horrific creation of the undead army, including the hellhounds that attack the player every five rounds.
Der Reise also solidified the "Perk-a-Cola" system into the game. Brand new to Der Reise was the Pack-a-Punch machine. You could now invest in your favorite weapons by upgrading them to become more powerful variants. Players who were clever enough to stick with weak weapons like the Colt M1911 would be rewarded with a pistol that shot explosive rounds, telling players that all guns are worth at least upgrading once.
Der Reise's high re?playability and the formal introduction of the series' lore gave players something to think about as they waited for the next Treyarch game to release, hoping that the questions they were left with would finally be answered.
14. Liberty Falls - Black Ops 6
Despite the initial skepticism from the CoD community about Liberty Falls' brighter setting, this map has proven to be a hidden gem. I know how stressful Zombies mode can get, but this location made jumping into Black Op 6's much more inviting. However, now that I've played the other BO6 Zombies maps, I'm less interested in playing this one, considering how much more the others have to offer. Regardless, it's still an excellent starting point for beginners, with its manageable size and readily available tools, all set in the heart of a West Virginian town. The map even allows for the acquisition of a Ray Gun in the first round through a ?simple Easter Egg trick at a vending machine.
Don't be fooled by Liberty Falls' compact size鈥攊t's packed with a wealth of content. Every corner of this map hold??s an Easter Egg, from constructing a free Jet Gun to engaging in disco zombie bowling. The map's many points of interest, including the Church, Olly's Comics, and the Liberty Falls bank, are ripe for exploration and discovery.
The Side Quests, in particular, lead you to the most intriguing journeys, often tying into a complex series of steps. Take, for example, the Aetherella Easter Egg, which requires you to find various figurines to unlock the power of heat vision. I never thought a Zombies mode could include superhuman powers such as this, but I suppose it isn't too out of left field with the mystical abilities of Origins.
Those who assemble the Jet Gun dive further into Liberty Fall's lore, untangling the webs of the Dark Aether outbreak mystery. The fan-favorite Richtofen also makes his mark here, where we see him wielding the powerful Wunderwaffe in the LF cinematic.
13. Buried - Black Ops II
Call of Duty Black Ops II's Buried map incorporates a Wild West scene into Zombies mode. The area is wholly buried underneath rubble, hence the name, with no means of escape in sight. As the new sheri??ff in town, there are plenty of resources to take advantage? of, from chalk-drawing weapons to various Perk Colas.
Buried is one of the few maps that offer an NPC helper with the formidable Arthur. Give him some Candy or Booze to get him on your side, and he'll eliminate zombies in no time. It's also excellent for solo players who need a teammate to watch their back. In ad??dition to Arthur, my personal favorite from this map is the Ray Gun Mark II. It amplifies everything from its original design, making it an even more devastating weapon.
You can use it to take on the unique challenge at the haunted mansion. Here, players will stand against a ghostly woman who tends to steal money out of your pockets. Given that cash is a big part of Zombies mode (giving you new weapons and upgrades), it's a thrilling cha?llenge t??hat will test your movements and skills.
The Wonder Weapons, includ?ing the Paralyzer and Time Bomb, are also fun to wield. While the Paralyzer helps slow down zombies, the Time Bomb sends you back in time to collect previous gear. Buried's many helpful features make it stand out amongst the maps, and it's plain fun to explore around its old western-themed environment.
12. Ascension - Black Ops
Ascension refines what's already been learned in previous maps but keeps it fresh by adding to the mechanics in fun and intuitive ways. The map starts out with the player entering it through a lunar lander. The color fades to mon??ochro?me, and the only way to turn the color back on is by activating the power station.
Pack-a-Punch is opened by riding lunar landers between the three main locations on the map, allowing ??players to ??launch a rocket stationed in the background, opening the room housing the Pack-a-Punch.
The map functions similarly to Der Reise, though the lunar lander has to be called to each location before riding it. This waiting? period and the short ride back to the start provide small breaks for the player to reload and recoup before continuing the fight. Special rounds return, though the hellhounds are nowhere to be seen, replaced by terrifying space monkeys, who attack the Perk Machines players have used. If they're stopped before dealing any damage to the perks, players can net themselves a free perk, bypassing the four-perk limit set by all maps.
Ascension also introduced players to "Easter Eggs," a story quest that can be completed throughout a session to gain rewards and directly impact the series' plotline. It's not front and center, and compared to other maps, Ascension's is quite simple, but access to a 90-second Death Machine (a devastating piece of weaponry) is a fine reward for the most skilled zombie slayers. This location is a perfect map for all player types. It keeps them on their toes with special rounds but is close in complexity to World at War's maps.
11. Terminus - Black Ops 6
Terminus is one of the biggest Zombies maps, filled with a ton of Easter Eggs. You'll begin your adventures in a zombie-filled prison on a remote island in the Philippine Sea. Players will assume the roles of the elite Terminus team, an ensemble comprising new and old faces. Easily recognizable Black Ops figures like Dr. William Peck and Grigori Weaver have returned, a??lo??ng with the latest recruit, Maya Aguinaldo. They'll need to do whatever it takes to escape the prison, all to plot their revenge on Richtofen.
Compared to Liberty Falls, Terminus' storyline definitely has the upper hand here. It's a lot more fleshed out and entertaining, especially when you're on the expedition for the Main Quest. This time, instead of the Jet Gun, you'll need to find the parts for the new Beamsmasher, a new Wonder Weapon introduced in BO6. The weapon proves essential for several ??Terminus Easter Eggs, ending with the final boss through the Hacking Devic??e.
Even though I've spent weeks on Terminus, it still feels like I've only scratched the surface. There ar??e so many adventures it has to offer, including one of my favorites, the Cursed Talisman, which almost feels like an undead treasure h?unt journey. Besides the main island, many plots of land are scattered around the map to up the ante of exploration. And if you look closely enough, you may find an Easter Egg on all of them, either tying into the Main or Side Quests.
Terminus is just a classic Zombies map that's inspired by many of its predecessors. It has that same ominous look of TranZit and an abundance of Easter Eggs like Shadows of Evil. Yet, it also brings so??mething new to the table with its modernized spin on graphics and map size.
10. Kino Der Toten - Black Ops
Kino is the first map players got to play in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Originally meant to be an extra map in World at War, it instead became an "on-disc" location for Treyarch's next title. This worked to its benefit, as the new engine and similar design to previous maps in the Zombies mode made it into the iconic map it is today.
Kino Der Toten (Theater of the Dead) is excellent for new Black Ops players. Its simple design guides you around either side of the theater through the backstage or onto the stage from the alleyway. Once the power is turned on, the open area on the stage provides plenty of room for players t??o eliminate zombies. Pack-a-Punch is as simple as linking one teleporter to the pad the players started the game on as well. It provides a safe spot to upgrade your weapons and a short break from the horde of zombies.
With both paths being linked to one another, multiple strategies can be executed by ne??glecting to o?pen doors on either side of the map, allowing for solid camping strategies utilizing the traps found around the map.
While it's not the most complex map, Kino Der Toten lives in the hearts of many players, as it's a map even the most hardcore Zombies fans will come back to.
9. Shadows of Evil - Black Ops III
Completely contrasting Kino Der Toten is Black Ops III's own on-disc map, Shadows of Evil. With the gameplay shift to more complex maps that started in Origins and Mob of the Dead, Shadows of Evil's H.P. Lovecraft-inspired aesthetic recontextualizes the many mechanics players loved about the Black Ops II maps.
The map consists of a lengthy "set-up phase" in which players must ?complete four rituals around the map to open the Pack-a-Punch Machine. Players must use Beast Mode to open rooms and activate perk machines, similar to how afterlife mode worked in Mob of the Dead. This is also how players will open the? central hub underground, the main junction between all four locations on the map.
Shadows of Evil includes a plethora of extra content to do once the?? setup is complete. You can find symbols hidden in the decor while riding the train, which they can use to unlock a hidden wall underground to begin the quest to gain the Apothicon Sword, adding another weapon to their arsenal without taking up a weapon slot. Finding three fuses around the map will also net you the Civil Protector, a mechanical automaton that will help you fight the undead for a short amount of time.
While Shadows of Evil isn't a good map to introduce players to the Zombies mode, it is a perfect map for fa??ns who want not only a challenge but a location with something to do around every corner.
8. Zombies in Spaceland - Infinite Warfare
One of the only maps on this list that was not designed by Treyarch, Infinity Ward decided to do their own take on Zombies for Infinite Warfare. Being? completely separated in lore, this iteration was a more comical take on the game mode, introducing a new story, characters, an?d maps inspired by movie genres of the past.
Their debut map, Zombies in Spaceland, sent players to an '80s theme park fil?led with out-of-this-world attractions and the undead. The gameplay loop was extremely similar to Treyarch's previous entries, with players first unlocking the upgrade machine by using three teleporters around the park.
However, survival wa??sn't the only thing players could do in Spaceland. The theme park's multiple attractions could be used to help destroy the undead, such as the spinning Escape Velocity or out-of-control bumper cars. The map is filled to the brim with actual interactives as well; playing one of the many arcade games in the Astrocade or riding the rollercoaster will net you ticket??s, which you can then spend on a myriad of helpful gear.
Perks were also included in this new rendition, taking the form of "Perk Candies" but retaining the same?? effects as in the Treyarch maps. Previously removed perks, such as the PhD Flopper, returned in Infinite Warfare. Some perks were even based on fan suggestions, like Trailblazers, which left a fire tra??il as a character slid along the ground. Dying in Spaceland doesn't set players too far back, either. Bleeding out would send you to the Afterlife Arcade, which allows players to complete fun arcade games to jump back into the match without having to wait until the round is over.
Infinity Wa??rd managed to make Treyarch's mode their own and, in turn, delivered one of the freshest takes on the mode鈥攁ll wi?thout straying away from the original formula.
7. Der Eisendrache - Black Ops III
The first DLC map for Black Ops III brings back the Primis crew, the alternate universe versions of Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo that players met in Origins. Der Eisendrache, or "The Iron Dragon," takes players to a medieval castle run by the elusive Group 935, where they must fight against the onslaught of the undead, incl??uding special enemies like the Hellhounds and Panzer Soldats.
Returning from Origins is a Wonder Weapon with four variants, one for each player. After feeding the dragons throughout the map, players can pick up the Wrath of the Ancients. This bow can be upgraded into one of four variants, each with its own devastating effects. The map also introduces low gravity and wall running, which is part of BO3's advanced movement system.
Der Eisendrache also begins BO3's main storyline. After ??completing the Shadows of Evil main quest, Richtofen will steal away the Summoning Key, a device used?? to harvest souls, in an attempt to "Secure a Better Tomorrow"
If players choose to, they can work through the main quest to gain access to Ultimis Dempsey's body and save his soul in the summoning key. This culminates in the first official boss fight in Zombies history. The map's replayability, buildable nature, and Wonder Weapons perfectly balance complexity and accessibility, sitting it comfortably on this Call of Duty list.
6. Urzikstan - Modern Warfare III
Even though MW3 Zombies removes the iconic round-based modes, I genuinely believe it is a step ??in the right direction for the series. Instead of the traditional four-player count, 24 Operators can work together across the infected Urzikstan, giving a new meaning to team camaraderie. You would think that having this many players on deck would make it easier, but it somehow still gets more challenging at every turn.
The map comprises three Threat Level Zones: Low, Medium, and High. Players will initially start off in the Low tier until they are eventually ready to take on the High Threat Zone. You can basically think of it as Round 40 in a standard Zombies run, but with even more challenges than you can imagine. The elite zombies, from the life-sucking Disciples to the ??colossal Mega Abomination, will undoubtedly keep your heart racing.
The Urzikstan map harnesses various Contracts to complete and provides players with Essence, MW3 Zombies currency. Most tasks, such as escort quests, guarding specific areas, and bounty takedowns, can be quickly completed. Then, you? can take all your hard-earned cash over to the Buy Station, Pack-a-Punch,?? or Perk Cola machines to get some extra buffs.
If you love Zombies lore, the Urikstan map uncovers many secrets tied to past entries in the franchise. These Story Missions are narrative-driven quests that offer objectives to complete to earn valuable rewards. The missions are designed to immerse players in the game's lore and provide a deeper understanding of the Zombies universe. One thing I love about the Story Missions gifts is the Schematics you gain from them. Although they come w??ith cooldowns, Operators can build items before entering the map, which, in return, saves a lot of time.
My only issue is the one-hour time limit, which tends to go by in a flash. The previous round-based mechanics allowed players to experience it for countless hours, making MW3 Zombies more restrictive than any other mode. Still, it's one of the most fun I've had in聽Zombies,聽and Urzikstan has only gotten bette??r with its many updates.
5. Moon - Black Ops
With the release of the Zombies-only "Rezurrection Pack" DLC, Moon marks the end of Black Ops' story. The DLC included all of the World at War maps, as well as the new map, Moon. Starting the map doesn't begin on round one; instead, it begins on a timer in Groom Lake. While players start right next to the Pack-a-Punch machine, an infinite onslaught of zombies will continue to spawn. After a few seconds, they'll pick up speed, making it more dangerous t??o stick around with just a pistol. Once you step onto the teleporter, you'll be transported to the map proper, where you can get a significant head start if you're skilled enough to survive in Groom Lake.
From here, you'll need to put on the PES Suit, as there's no oxygen. Once you turn on the power and activate the life support systems, you can explore the labs without the PES. If you happen to find the Hacker in the labs, you can switch out the PES for one of the most powerful items in all of Zombies.
The hacker can do many things, such as opening any door for 200 points, gifting any player 500 points out of your own pocket, changing any powerup into max ammo, and even refunding perks you don't need anymore. If you're playing Moon, you may also notice a zomb??ie in an astronaut suit sporting the name of one of your friends. If caught in the astronau?t's grasp, he'll teleport you to a random part of the map and remove one of the perks from your loadout.
Players can teleport back to Groom Lake, as it's the only way to access Juggernog, Speed-Cola, and? the Pack-a-Punch Machine. However, every player in the match needs to be on the teleporter pad to make their way back. This adds a co-op element but makes it difficult to head back if someone in the squad isn't playing along. With the right crew, planning trips to Groom Lake can net you and your pals more than enough points to upgrade.
The Hacker also allows players to shield thems?elves from the horde while Pack-a-Punching. This gives everyone a small reprieve, though they'll need to be prepared once the doors open. With Moon being the finale, players see the culmination of all the maps quests, using items they acquired in previous maps, players can conclude the storyline in Moon.
During the Main quest, players will come face to face with Samantha Maxis, the mastermind behind the zombies. Richtofen, in his grand scheme, will control the zombies by switching minds with Samantha, changing the voice lines for the player who's controlling Richtofen. This all culminates in the group firing rockets at the earth, destroying the planet, and setting in motion the events of Black Ops II.
Moon serves as an exciting culmination of Black Ops' Zombies mode, and its inclusion in the Rezurrection DLC proves that Treyarch was taking notice of Zombies' overall popularity.
4. Shattered Veil - Black Ops 6
The latest map, Shattered Veil, instantly took me back to the glory days of classic Zombies, where the map is overflowing with Easter Eggs. When I fir??st dropped in, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and even after a few hours, I was still in the dark. But honest??ly, that was part of the charm鈥攊t was a perfect throwback to those early days when the thrill came from being completely lost and figuring things out the hard way. Once I finally got a grip on things, I was blown away by just how much was packed into this map, with layers upon layers of surprises, all waiting to be discovered.
Unlike its predecessor, The Tomb, Shattered Veil showcases a refreshing sense of freedom with much more open space to explore. However, that sense of freedom quickly fades once you step inside the sprawling mansion, where you can find yourself trapped in tight corners. Sure, it's a real challenge to hold your ground against zombie hordes in cramped spaces, but it's not all doom and gloom. The elevator offer?s a quick getaway, giving you a much-needed escape route when the pressure?'s on.
While tight, enclosed spaces may not be the best for survival, I can't help but enjoy exploring the mansion's nooks and crannies for hidden secrets. And believe me, there are plenty. The main quest dives deeper into the rich lore of Zombies mode as the crew attempts to save Agent Maxis. It even brings back a fan-favorite character that fans have been dying to see. Overall, the story this time around has so much more heart and soul, something that was sorely missing from The Tomb?.
On top of the compelling story, the two Wonder Weapons, Ray Gun Mark 2 and the Wunderwaffe DG-2, finally returned for Black Ops 6. You can ?also switch up the playstyle of the Ray Gun Mark 2, featuring three variants that can take?? on the form of a Marksman rifle, shotgun, or SMG. In return, it feels like we have five unique weapons from just one map.
The best thing about the Shattered Veil is that there are fewer Special and Elite Zombies. Previous BO6 Zombies maps felt too overbearing wit??h these types, with frequent spawns of Doppelghasts and Manglers. You still have to worry about the latest Toxic Zombies and Elder Disciples, but they don't seem to spawn all that often.
3. Citadelle des Morts - Black Ops 6
Citadelle des Morts was a stunning surprise that might just have put Call of Duty Zombies back on the map. The setting felt downright epic, with a massive castle straight out of medieval legend at the center. Plus, there's so much more to it, from the vast open cou??rtyard, guarded by a towering Guardian statue, to hidden passageways that can only be accessed through the main quest.
The Elemental Swords were easily one of the best features that made Citadelle des Morts such a hit. Much like the iconic Origins Elemental Staffs, you'll need to embark on four epic sub-quests to forge the Raven, Dragon, Lion, and Stag swords. Each sword is tied to its own unique element, and you can take its power to new heights by completing additional objectives for powerful upgrades. I've always loved having a variety of options with Wonder Weapons, and C??itadelle des Morts nails it with this feature. What's more, th?ere's something undeniably satisfying about wielding a sword that feels like it was forged for a true medieval knight, perfect for the map's overall theme.
Unlike most of the other BO6 Zombies maps, Citadelle des Morts is loaded with story content that really sets it apart. Picking up right where Terminus left off, the Zombies squad must track down Gabriel Krafft and learn about the mysterious Sentinel Artifact. What makes this map even more intriguing is the exclusive Maya Easter Egg cutscene t??hat's easy to miss. It's cool to see something like thi?s that's separate from the main quest, and it's that extra attention to detail that really makes Citadelle des Morts truly exceptional.
2. Mob of the Dead - Black Ops II
Black Ops II's story picked up where Black Ops' left off, giving us a new plotline following a new crew of characters named Victus. However, Mob of the Dead is not a map in their story.
Mob of the Dead instead follows the story of four mobsters trapped in purgatory on Alcatraz Island. Sal Deluca, Finn O'Leary, Billy Handsome, and Al "The Weasel" Arlington find themselves in a twisted version of their prison where the un??dead run rampant, and the warden aims to lock up their souls forever.
This is the first taste of more complex maps that would become the norm in the second half of Black Ops II's life cycle and into Black Ops III. Players would spawn as souls in the new Afterlife mode, and a mechanic where going DBNO turns you into a ghost. Aside from being able to revive yourself, Afterlife allo?ws players to see passageways and secrets only visible through their ethereal form, introducing specific ways to open up the prison's many secret rooms. There's not a single power switch that powers on everything; rather, electrical boxes players need to shock are spread around the map, and Afterlife's electric blast is the only way to power them on.
Around the map are also three hellhound heads. Feeding each head a group of zombi??es gives them the Hell's Retriever, a tomahawk that can be thrown like a boomerang to pick up power-ups or kill groups of zombies. Mob's Wonder Weapon, the Blundergat, is a four-barreled shotgun that shoots one blast at a time, a powerful weapon on its own, and when?? upgraded into the Acid-Gat, it can easily dispatch hordes. Pack-a-Punching the Acid Gat causes its bolts to attract zombies, turning a powerful weapon into an even more robust tool.
Every so often, "The Warden" will appear, a powerful special zombie with unique abilities. For one, he'll disable any Perk Machine, buildable table, or mystery box in his path, forcing the player to chalk up 2000 points to reopen it. Once you knock off his helmet, the warden will then cover himself in a smokescreen before charging at you once more. While this doesn't do anything to mask the warden, it does obfuscate any other? enemies you may be fighting.
The real meat and potatoes of the map are how players will access Pack-a-Punch. Around the map are several pieces players need to find to build a plane ??to escape from Alcatraz. Finding all of them and boarding the plane will send the mobsters flying, only to have them crash on the Golden Gate Bridge, where the only escape is via electric chair. Once you come back, you'll have to refuel the plane to go again.
If you complete the main quest, you'll be greeted with an audio tour of the prison. While fighting the horde, you'll uncover the story of the mobsters as they plan their escape in the same way as they do on the map. However, the plane you fly to Pack-a-Punch on was never built, as Finn, Sal, and Billy kill Al on the roof of the prison. The three are sentenced to death for the murder of Al, placing the four in the events of Mob of the Dead. Once you fly to the Golden Gate Bridge for the final time, the mobsters will have to face off with Al once more, though this time, Al is aided by the zombies, which is the only PvP Zombies interaction in the series' history. Whether the mobsters won or Al survived, the game would end, giving聽the Zombies聽its first-ever win condition.
Mob of the Dead was a taste of what the new age of Zombies was going to be. Players were given a checklist of tasks to c??omplete, with optional quests and buildables to make survival easier. This blend of set-up and casual survival, combined with the grungy, otherworldly aesthetic, makes Mob of the Dead a one-of-a-kind map.
1. Origins - Black Ops II
The final map to release in Black Ops II is a refinement of some of the mechanics found in Mob of the Dead. Although, what Origins did that Mob didn't, was refine what would become the standard for Zombies maps going forward in the Black Ops series.
Taking place "on the battlefields of the great war," players would once again take control of the classic characters, Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo. However, these characters were different from the inherently goofy and sarcastic versions they had been removed from since Black Ops. These characters were more mature, refined, and grounded. The? world around them was not.
Origins took place in an alternate, steampunk timeline, where giant robots roamed the WWI trenches and zombies terrorized the battlefield. The map was split into multiple sections, as players had to hold out on six generators to activate the Pack-a-Punch, excavated from the mysterious dig site that ??caused the zombie outbreak.
Players would find pieces of magic staffs throughout the map by either entering the robot by shooting a hatch as it stepped on them or digging them up during the brief times it snowed. Finding the gramophone and record item would open magic portals around the battlefield, allowing players to find a gem to complete their staff. With four buildable staffs, each player was able? to wield a powerful Wonder Weapon, allowing them to incinerate, freeze, electrocute, or blow away hordes of zombies with ease.
At round eight, a Panzer Soldat would spawn in, a powerful enemy with a flamethrower and a grappling hook, ensnaring anyone in its way. If you could survive that long, Origins kept you busy by having Templar zomb??ies attack the generators, forcing you to move to and stop them before you had to hold out on more difficult rounds.
Challenges were al??so introduced as a main mechanic, permitting players to complete objectives to unlock special rewards. Getting 115 headshots rewarded you with a free Pack-a-Punched weapon, while spending 30,000 points awarded you a bott?le of Double Tap, letting you bypass the perk limit.
Any perk that wasn't available as a machine could be found in the Wunder-Fizz, which functioned like the Mystery Box but for perks. Origins did retain its four-perk limit, but you could increase the number of perks you could hold by upgrading your shovel. ?Once you acquired the gold shovel by using it enough, using the new powerup Zombie Blood would allow you to see special dig spots invisible by normal means, and digging them would give you a free perk. Digging enough spots with the golden shovel would net players with the golden helmet, preventing them from taking any damage when being stepped on by the giant robots.
The main quest would see players?? freeing Samantha from Agartha, though much like the new crew, this Samantha was different, guiding players through the missio??n rather than acting as the antagonist. Completing the Easter Egg ends the game, much like Mob of the Dead. However, this conclusion was a fully animated cutscene, where players discovered that the events of the map were nothing but action figures being played in Samantha's imagination...
...At least, that's what players assumed... until the plot of Black Ops III changed everything.
Origins sits atop the list of 15 best Call of Duty Zombies maps not just because of how influential it is to the series but also because of its intuitive set-up phase, its many side objectives, its powerful Wonder Weapons, and its entertaining and challenging main quest. It remains a map that fans will always come back to, no matter what mood they are in, as it readily satisfi??es every player's zombie-slaying needs.
The post The 18 Best CoD Zombies maps, Ranked appeared first on Destructoid.
]]>
When you initially think of Call of Duty, fighting a nonstop horde of the undead probably isn't the first thing you think of. Well, at least until the Zombies mode became a staple of the Call of Duty ?series, beco?ming as much a part of the franchise as its multiplayer and campaign modes.
Since its original inception in Call of Duty: World at War, many players have grown attached to Zombies, as it provides a fun co-op excursion from the series' standard modes. However, with so many titles now including the mode, the number of available maps has skyrocketed. Here are the 18 best Zombies maps across all Call of Duty games.
18. Nacht Der Untoten - World at War
If you were someone who had just completed the campaign for Call of Duty: World at War, you may have been greeted by this map right as the credits ended. Initially, "Nazi Zombies" was hidden away from players until they completed the main storyline. Once the credits ended, players would be immediately thrust into the first Zombies map, Nach?t Der Untoten. Translating to "Night of the Undead," this small locale was an edited version of a building from the campaign mission "Hard Lan??ding."
Players are trapped inside the building with no means of escape as the undead march to the many windows. You would then have to fend off the zombies for as long as possible. Nacht is a simple map focusing on the main gameplay loop of round-based survival. Players gain points from shooting zombies and can upgrade their arsenal by purchasing weapons with the points. Whether that's by purchasing them from the chalk drawings on the walls, grabbing t??he sniper from the upstairs cabinet, or taking their chances by opening the "Mystery Box" in the room on the ground floor.
Players only had their skills ??to rely on, as the onslaught of zombies was relentless, and help wasn't coming anyt?ime soon.
17. The Tomb - Black Ops 6
I really wanted to place The Tomb higher on this Call of Duty: Zombies map ranking, especially since it's one of the latest releases. But, unfortunately, it just didn't manage to leave a lasting impression like the others. There aren't many exciting points of interest to explore; it's mostly?? set in a sparse, lifeless dig site and tomb. The story was pretty underwhelming, and without many cutscenes to enrich the narrative, it struggled to hold my attention. The Dark Aether Nexus does stand out, though鈥攊t's a visually stunning new take on the Crazy Place, with vibrant colors and an otherworldly vibe that feels like it came straight from th?e depths of space.
Another highlight was the return of the Ice Staff, one of my all-time favorite Wonder Weapons in Zombies. However, the only downside was that the other staffs didn't make the cut, which only made me long for them even more. I get that it might have been a challenge to bring all four into the modern era of CoD, but it still ?felt strange to single out the Ice Staff whi?le leaving the others behind.
As for the boss fight, it was a bit of a letdown?. You're stuck battling an enemy that barely moves, relying on zombies to do the heavy lifting for it. To make matters worse, certain weapons, like the Mustang and Sally, couldn't even be used once its protective barrier was down. It would've been nice to know beforehand that only a few guns could be used here.
16. TranZit - Black Ops II
Black Ops II was one of the first games to introduce me to Zombies mode, showcasing its now c??lassic round-based matches. In its hey?day, TranZit was probably the most talked about map, where players take a deadly scenic route in a one to four-player co-op ride. You'll jump on and off a bus, with the driver T.E.D.D. commanding its loading and drop-off times.
As much as I want this to be a nostalgic gem, it sadly doesn't compare to Zombies mode now. Given the small size of the bus and numerous zombie hordes, it can be way too overwhelming to handle. And it's not the good kind of ??overwhelming that I've gotten used to, since it feels like there is no chance of survival. Not only does the lava on the ground burn you alive, but the fog makes it almost impossible to see.
Don't even get me started on the Wonder Weapon, the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (Jet Gun). Players will go through all that trouble of building this tool, only for it to barely kill any zombies. It also makes you move slower than usual, which doesn't really make sense for Zombies mode's fast-paced environment. Rewards like thi??s just aren't satisfying enough to make it worthwhile (Bu??t don't worry it gets a buff in the later iterations).
TranZit, despite its flaws, was a game-changer for the Call of Duty series. It was the first Zombies mode to introduce buildables, a feature that has since become a staple in the series. TranZit's innovative gameplay and features paved the way for the evolution of the ser?ies, and we owe it a debt of gratitude for that.
15. Der Reise - World at War
Der Reise, or "The Giant," was the final map to be given to players in World at War's life cycle, joining DLC as an addition to standard multiplayer maps. Since the zombies first appeared in Nacht Der Untoten, the mode had undergone some changes, transitioning from defending a single location? to a more expansive map where letting in the undead didn't spell the end of your crew.
The map puts players at ground zero of the zombie outbreak, a facility run by the elusive "Group 935." While the lore wasn't at the forefront of the gameplay, dedicated players could tune int??o the many radios around the map to uncover the story of Dr. Edward Richtofen. You'll learn about the betrayal of his partner, Ludvig Maxis, and the horrific creation of the undead army, including the hellhounds that attac??k the player every five rounds.
Der Reise also solidified the "Perk-a-Cola" system into the game. Brand new to Der Reise was the Pack-a-Punch machine. You could now invest in your favorite weapons by upgrading them to become more powerful variants. Players who were clever enough to stick with weak weapons like the Colt M1911 would be rewarded with a pistol that shot explosive rounds, telling players that all guns are worth at least upgrading once.
Der Reise's high replayability and the formal introduction of the series' lore gave players something to think about as they waited for the next Treyarch game to re?lease, hoping that the questions they were left with would finally be answered.
14. Liberty Falls - Black Ops 6
Despite the initial skepticism from the CoD community about Liberty Falls' brighter setting, this map has proven to be a hidden gem. I know how stressful Zombies mode can get, but this location made jumping into Black Op 6's much more inviting. However, now that I've played the other BO6 Zombies maps, I'm less interested in playing this one, considering how much more the others have to offer. Regardless, it's still an excellent starting point for beginners, with its manageable size and readily available tools, all set in the heart of a West Virginian town. The map even allows ??for the acquisition of a Ray Gun in the first round through a simple Easter Egg trick at a vending machine.
Do??n't be fooled by Liberty Falls' compact size鈥攊t's packed with a wealth of content. Every corner of this map holds an Easter Egg, from constructing a free Jet Gun to engaging in disco zombie bowling. The map's many points of interest, including the Church, Olly's Comics, and t?he Liberty Falls bank, are ripe for exploration and discovery.
The Side Quests, in particular, lead you to the most intriguing journeys, often tying into a complex series of steps. Take, for example, the Aetherella Easter Egg, which requires you to find various figurines to unlock the power of heat vision. I never thought a Zombies mode could include superhuman powers such as this, but I suppose it isn't too out of left field with the mystical abilities of Origins.
Those who assemble the Jet Gun dive further into Liberty Fall's lore, untangling the webs of the Dark Aether outbreak mystery. The fan-favorite Richtofen also makes his mark here, where we see him wielding the powerful Wunderwaffe in the LF cinematic.
13. Buried - Black Ops II
Call of Duty Black Ops II's Buried map incorporates a Wild West scene into Zombies mode. The? area is wholly buried underneath rubble, hence the name, with no means of escape in sight. As the new sheriff in town, there are plenty of resources to t??ake advantage of, from chalk-drawing weapons to various Perk Colas.
Buried is one of the few maps that offer an NPC helper with the formidable A??rthur. Give him some Candy or Booze to get him on your side, and he'll eliminate zombies in no time. It's also excellent for solo players who need a teammate to watch their back. In addition to Arthur, my personal favorite ?from this map is the Ray Gun Mark II. It amplifies everything from its original design, making it an even more devastating weapon.
You can use it to take on the unique challenge at the haunted mansion. Here, players will stand against a ghostly woman who tends to steal money out of your pockets. Given that cash is a big part of Zombies mode (giving you new weapons and upgrades), it's a thrilling challenge that will test your movements and ski?lls.
The Wonder Weapons, including the Paralyzer and Time Bomb, are also fun to wield. While the Paralyzer helps slow down zombies, the Time Bomb sends you back i?n time to collect previous gear. Buried??'s many helpful features make it stand out amongst the maps, and it's plain fun to explore around its old western-themed environment.
12. Ascension - Black Ops
Ascension refines what's already been learned in previous maps but keeps it fresh by adding to the mechanics in fun and intuitive ways. The map starts out with the player entering it through a lunar lander. The color fad??es to monochrome, and the only way to turn the color back on is by activating the power station.
Pack-a-Punch is?? opened by riding lunar landers between the three main locations on the map, allowing players to launch a rocket stationed in the background, opening the room housing the Pack-a-Punch.
The map functions similarly to Der Reise, though the lunar lander has to be called to each location before riding it. This waiting period and the short ride back to the start provide small breaks for the player to reload and recoup before contin??uing the fight. Special rounds return, though the hellhounds are nowhere to be seen, replaced by terrifying space monkeys, who attack the Perk Machines players have used. If they're stopped before dealing any damage to the perks, players can net themselves a free perk, bypassing the four-perk limit set by all ?maps.
Ascension also introduced players to "Easter Eggs," a story quest that can be completed throughout a session to gain rewards and directly impact the series' plotline. It's not front and center, and compared to other maps, Ascension's is quite simple, but access to a 90-second Death Machine (a devastating piece of weaponry) is a fine reward for the most skilled zombie slayers. This location is a perfect map for all player types. It keeps them on their toes with special rounds but is close in complexity to World at War's maps.
11. Terminus - Black Ops 6
Terminus is one of the biggest Zombies maps, filled with a ton of Easter Eggs. You'll begin your adventures in a zombie-filled prison on a remote island in the Philippine Sea. Players will assume the roles of the elite Terminus team, an ensemble comprising new and old faces. Easily recognizable Black Ops figures like Dr. William Peck and Grigori Weaver have returned, along with the latest recruit, Maya Aguin?aldo. They'll need to do whatever it takes ??to escape the prison, all to plot their revenge on Richtofen.
Compared to Liberty Falls, Terminus' storyline definitely has the upper hand here. It's a lot more fleshed out and entertaining, especially when you're on the expedition for the Main Quest. This time, instead of the Jet Gun, you'll need to find the parts for the new Beamsmasher, a new Wonder Weapon introduced in BO6. The weapon proves essential for several Terminus Easter Eggs, ending with the final boss through the Hac??king Device.
Even though I've spent weeks on Terminus, it still feels like I've only scratched the surface. There are so many adventures it has to offer, including one of my favorites, the Cursed Talisman, which almost feels like an undead treasure hunt journey. Besides the main island, many plots of land are scattered around the map to up the ante of exploration. And if you look closely enough, you may find an E??aster Egg on all of them, either tying into the Main or Side Quests.
Terminus is just a classic Zombies map that's inspired by many of its predecessors. It has that same ominous look of TranZit and an abundance of Easter Eggs like Shadows of Evil. Yet, it also brin??gs something new to the table with its modernized spin on graphics and map size.
10. Kino Der Toten - Black Ops
Kino is the first map players got to play in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Originally meant to be an extra map in World at War, it instead became an "on-disc" location for Treyarch's next title. This worked to its benefit, as the new engine and similar design to previous maps in the Zombies mode made it into the iconic map it is today.
Kino Der Toten (Theater of the Dead) is excellent for new Black Ops players. Its simple design guides you around either side of the theater through the backstage or onto the stage from the alleyway. Once the power is turned on, the open area on the stage provides plenty of room for players to eliminate zombies. Pack-a-Punch is as simple as linking one teleporter to the pad the players started the gam??????????????????????????e on as well. It provides a safe spot to upgrade your weapons and a short break from the hord??e of zombies.
With both paths being linked to one another, multiple strategies can be execu?ted by neglecting to open doors on either side of the map, allowing for solid camping strategies utilizing the traps found around the map.
While it's not the most complex map, Kino Der Toten lives in the hearts of many players, as it's a map even the most hardcore Zombies fans will come back to.
9. Shadows of Evil - Black Ops III
Completely contrasting Kino Der Toten is Black Ops III's own on-disc map, Shadows of Evil. With the gameplay shift to more complex maps that started in Origins and Mob of the Dead, Shadows of Evil's H.P. Lovecraft-inspired aesthetic recontextualizes the many mechanics players loved about the Black Ops II maps.
The map consists of a lengthy "set-up phase" in which players must complete four rituals around the map to open ?the Pack-a-Punch Machine. Players must use Beast Mode to open rooms and activate perk machines, similar to how afterlife mode worked in Mob of the Dead. This is also how players will open the central hub underground, the main junction between all four locations on the map.
Shadows of Evil includes a plethora of extra content to do once the setup is complete. You can find symbols hidden in the decor while riding the train, which they can use to unlock a hidden wall underground to begin the quest to gain the Apothicon Sword, adding another weapon to their arsenal without taking up a weapon slot. Finding three fuses around the map will also net you the Civil Protector, a mechanical automaton that will help you fi??ght the undead for a short amount of time.
While Shadows of Evil isn't a good map to introduce players to the Zombies mode, it is a perfect map for fans who want not only a challenge but a location with something ??to do around every corner.
8. Zombies in Spaceland - Infinite Warfare
One of the only maps on this list that was not designed by Treyarch, Infinity Ward decided to do their own take on Zombies for Infinite Warfare. Being completely separated in lore, this iteration was a more comical take on the game mode, introducing a n??ew story, c??haracters, and maps inspired by movie genres of the past.
Their debut map, Zombies in Spaceland, sent players to an '80s theme park filled with out-of-this-world attractions and the? undead. The gameplay loop was extremely similar to Treyarch's previous entries, with players first unlocking the upgrade machine by using three teleporters around the park.
However, survival wasn't the o??nly thing players could do in Spaceland. The theme park's multiple attractions could be used to help destroy the undead, such as the spinning Escape Velocity or out-of-control bumper cars. The map is filled to the brim with actual interactives as well; playing one of the many arcade games in the Astrocade or riding the rollercoaster will net you tickets??, which you can then spend on a myriad of helpful gear.
Perks were also included in this new rendition, taking the form of "Perk Candies" but retaining the same effects as in the Treyarch maps. Previously removed perks, such as the PhD Flopper, returned in Infinite Warfare. Some perks were even based on fan suggestions, like Trailblazers, which left a fire trail as a character slid along the ground. Dying in Spaceland doesn't set players too far back, either. Bleeding out wo?uld send you to the Afterlife Arcade, which allows players to complete fun arcade games to jump back into the ?match without having to wait until the round is over.
Infinit?y Ward managed to make Treyarch's ?mode their own and, in turn, delivered one of the freshest takes on the mode鈥攁ll without straying away from the original formula.
7. Der Eisendrache - Black Ops III
The first DLC map for Black Ops III brings back the Primis crew, the alternate universe versions of Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo that players met in Origins. Der Eisendrache, or "The Iron Dragon," takes players to a medieval castle run by the elusive Group 935, where they must figh??t against the onslaught of the undead, including special enemies li??ke the Hellhounds and Panzer Soldats.
Returning from Origins is a Wonder Weapon with four variants, one for each player. After feeding the dragons throughout the map, players can pick up the Wrath of the Ancients. This bow can be upgraded into one of four variants, each with its own devastating effects. The map also introduces low gravity and wall running, which is part of BO3's advanced movement system.
Der Eisendrache also begins BO3's main storyline. After comple?ting the Shadows of Evil main quest, Richtofen will steal away the Summoning Key, a device used to harvest souls, in an attempt to "Secure a Better Tomorrow"
If players choose to, they can work through the main quest to gain access to Ultimis Dempsey's body and save his soul in the summoning key. This culminates in the first official boss fight in Zombies history. The map's replayability, buildable nature, and Wonder Weapons perfectly balance complexity and accessibility, sitting it comfortably on this Call of Duty list.
6. Urzikstan - Modern Warfare III
Even though MW3 Zombies removes the iconic r??ound-based modes, I genuinely believe it is a step in the right direction for the series. Instead of the traditional four-player count, 24 Operators can work together across the infected Urzikstan, giving a new meaning to team camaraderie. You would think that having this many players on deck would make it easier, but it somehow still gets more challenging at every turn.
The map comprises three Threat Level Zones: Low, Medium, and High. Players will initially start off in the Low tier until they are eventually ready to take on the High Threat Zone. You can basically think of it as Round 40 in a standard Zombies run, but with even more challenges than you can imagine. The elite zombies,&?nbsp;from the life-sucking Disciples to the colossal Mega Abomination, will undoubtedly keep your heart racing.
The Urzikstan map harnesses various Contracts to complete and provides players with Essence, MW3 Zombies currency. Most tasks, such as escort quests, guarding specific areas, and bounty takedowns, can be quickly completed. Then, you can take all your hard-earned cash over to the Buy Station, Pack-a-P?unch, or Perk Cola machines to get some extra buffs.
If you love Zombies lore, the Urikstan map uncovers many secrets tied to past entries in the franchise. These Story Missions are narrative-driven quests that offer objectives to complete to earn valuable rewards. The missions are designed to immerse players in the game's lore and provide a deeper understanding of the Zombies universe. One thing I love about the Story Missions gifts is t??he Schematics you gain from them. Although they come with cooldowns, Operators can bui?ld items before entering the map, which, in return, saves a lot of time.
My only issue is the one-hour time limit, which tends to go by in a flash. The previous round-based mechanics allowed players to experience it for countless hours, making MW3 Zombies more restrictive than any other mode. Still, it's one of the most fun I've had in聽Zombies,聽and Urzikstan has only gotten b?ette??r with its many updates.
5. Moon - Black Ops
With the release of the Zombies-only "Rezurrection Pack" DLC, Moon marks the end of Black Ops' story. The DLC included all of the World at War maps, as well as the new map, Moon. Starting the map doesn't begin on round one; instead, it begins on a timer in Groom Lake. While players start right next to the Pack-a-P??unch machine, an infinite onslaught of zombies will continue to spawn. After a few seconds, they'll pick up speed, making it more dangerous to stick around with just a pistol. Once you step onto the teleporter, you'll be transported to the map proper, where you can get a significant head start if you're skilled enough to survive in Groom Lake.
From here, you'll need to put on the PES Suit, as there's no oxygen. Once you turn on the power and activate the life support systems, you can explore the labs without the PES. If you happen to find the Hacker in the labs, you can switch out the PES for one of the most powerful items in all of Zombies.
The hacker can do many things, such as opening any door for 200 points, gifting any player 500 points out of your own pocket, changing any powerup into max ammo??, and even refunding perks you don't need anymore. If you're playing Moon, you may also notice a zom??bie in an astronaut suit sporting the name of one of your friends. If caught in the astronaut's grasp, he'll teleport you to a random part of the map and remove one of the perks from your loadout.
Players can teleport back to Groom Lake, as it's the only way to access Juggernog, Speed-Cola, and the Pack-a-Punch Machine. However, every player in the match needs to be on the teleporter pad to make their way back.? This adds a co-op element but makes it difficult to head back if someone in the squad isn't playing along. With the right crew, planning tr??ips to Groom Lake can net you and your pals more than enough points to upgrade.
The Hacker also allows players to shield themselves from the horde while Pack-a-Punching. This gives everyone a small reprieve, though they'll need to be prepared once the doors open. With Moon being t??he finale, players see the culmination of all the maps quests, using items they acquired in previous maps, players can conclude the storyline in Moon.
During the Main quest, players will come face to face with Samantha Maxis, the mastermind behind the zombies. Richtofen, in his grand scheme, will control the zombies by switching minds with Samantha, changing the voice lines for the player who's controlling Richtofen. This all culminates in the group firing rockets at the earth, destroying the planet, and setting in motion the events of Black Ops II.
Moon serves as an exciting culmination of Black Ops' Zombies mode, and its inclusion in the Rezurrection DLC proves that Treyarch was taking notice of Zombies' overall popularity.
4. Shattered Veil - Black Ops 6
The latest map, Shattered Veil, instantly took me back to the glory days of classic Zombies, where the map is overflowing with Easter Eggs. When I first dropped in, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and even after a few hours, I was still? in the dark. But honestly, that was part of the charm鈥攊t was a perfect throwback to those early days when the thrill came from being completely lost and figuring things out the hard way. Once I finally got a grip on things, I was blown away by just how much was packed into this map, with layers upon layers of surprises, all waiting to? be discovered.
Unlike its predecessor, The Tomb, Shattered Veil showcases a refreshing sense of freedom with much more open space to explore. However, that sense of freedom quickly fades once you step inside the sprawling mansion, where you can find yourself trapped in tight corners. Sure, it's a real challenge to hold your ground against zombie hordes in?? cramped spaces, but it's not all doom and gloom. The elevator offers a quick getaway, giving you a much-needed escape route when the pressure's on.
While tight, enclosed spaces may not be the best for survival, I can't help but enjoy exploring the mansion's nooks and crannies for hidden secrets. And believe me, there are plenty. The main quest dives deeper into the rich lore of Zombies mode as the crew attempts to save Agent Maxi?s. It even brings back a fan-favorite character that fans have been dying to see. Overall, the story this time around has so much more heart an??d soul, something that was sorely missing from The Tomb.
On top of the compelling story, the two Wonder Weapons, Ray Gun Mark 2 and the Wunderwaffe DG-2, finally returned for Black Ops 6. You can also switch up the playstyle of the Ray Gun Mark 2, featuring three variants that can take on the form of a Marksman rifle, shotgun, or SMG. In return, it feels like we have five unique wea??pons from jus?t one map.
The best thing about the Shattered Veil is that there are fewer Special and Elite Zombies. Previous BO6 Zombies maps felt t??oo overbearing with these types, with frequent spawns of Doppelghasts and Manglers. ??You still have to worry about the latest Toxic Zombies and Elder Disciples, but they don't seem to spawn all that often.
3. Citadelle des Morts - Black Ops 6
Citadelle des Morts was a stunning surprise that might just have put Call of Duty Zombies back on the map. The setting felt downright epic, with a massive castle straight out of medieval legend at the center. Plus, there's so much more ??to it, from the vast open courtyard, guarded by a towering Guardian statue, to hidden passageways that can only be accessed through the main?? quest.
The Elemental Swo??rds were easily one of the best features that made Citadelle des?? Morts such a hit. Much like the iconic Origins Elemental Staffs, you'll need to embark on four epic sub-quests to forge the Raven, Dragon, Lion, and Stag swords. Each sword is tied to its own unique element, and you can take its power to new heights by completing additional objectives for powerful upgrades. I've always loved having a variety of options with Wonder Weapons, and Citadelle des Morts nails it with this feature. What's more, there's something undeniably satisfying about wielding a sword that feels like it was forged for a true medieval knight, perfect for the map's overall theme.
Unlike most of the other BO6 Zombies maps, Citadelle des Morts is loaded with story content that really sets it apart. Picking up right where Terminus left off, the Zombies squad must track down Gabriel Krafft and learn about the mysterious Sentinel Artifact. What makes this map even more intriguing is the exclusive Maya Easter Egg cutscene that's easy to miss. It's cool to see something like this that's separate from the main quest, and it's that extra attention to detail that really makes Citadelle des Morts truly excep??tional.
2. Mob of the Dead - Black Ops II
Black Ops II's story picked up where Black Ops' left off, giving us a new plotline following a new crew of characters named Victus. However, Mob of the Dead is not a map in their story.
Mob of the Dead instead follows the story of four mob??sters trapped in purgatory on Alcatraz Island. Sal Deluca, Finn O'Leary, Billy Handsome, and Al "The Weasel" Arlington find themselves in a twisted version of their prison where the undead run rampant, and the warden a??ims to lock up their souls forever.
This is the first taste of more complex maps that would become the norm in the second half of Black Ops II's life cycle and into Black Ops III. Players would spawn as souls in the new Afterlife mode, and a mechanic ?where going DBNO turns you into a ghost. Aside from being able to revive yourself, Afterlife allows players to see passageways and secrets only visible through their ethereal form, introducing specific ways to open up the prison's many secret rooms. There's not a single power switch that powers on everything; rather, electrical boxes players need to shock are spread around t??he map, and Afterlife's electric blast is the only way to power them on.
Around the map are also three hellhound heads. Feeding each head a group of zombies gives them the Hell's Retriever, a tomahawk that can be thrown like a boomerang to pick up power-ups or kill g??roups of zombies. Mob's Wonder Weapon, the Blundergat, is a four-barreled shotgun that shoots one blast at a time, a powerful weapon on its own, and when upgraded into the Acid-Gat, it can easily dispatch hordes. Pack-a-Punching the Acid Gat causes its bolts to attract zombies, turning a powerful ??weapon into an even more robust tool.
Every so often, "The Warden" will appear, a powerful special zombie with unique abilities. For one, he'll di??sable any Perk Machine, buildable table, or mystery box in his path, forc??ing the player to chalk up 2000 points to reopen it. Once you knock off his helmet, the warden will then cover himself in a smokescreen before charging at you once more. While this doesn't do anything to mask the warden, it does obfuscate any other enemies you may be fighting.
The real meat and potatoes of the map are how players will access Pack-a-Punch. Around the map are several pieces players need to find to build a plane to escape from Alcatraz. Finding all of them and boarding the plane will send the mobsters flying, only to have them crash on the Golden Gate Bridge, where the only escap?e is via electric chair. Once you come back, you'll have to refuel the plane to go again.
If you complete the main quest, you'll be greeted with an audio tour of the prison. While fighting the horde, you'll uncover the story of the mobsters as they plan their escape in the same way as they do on the map. However, the plane you fly to Pack-a-Punch on was never built, as Finn, Sal, and Billy kill Al on the roof of the prison. The three are sentenced to death for the murder of Al, placing the four in the events of Mob of the Dead. Once you fly to the Golden Gate Bridge for the final time, the mobsters will have to face off with Al once more, though this time, Al is aided by the zombies, which is the only PvP Zombies interaction in the series' history. Whether the mobsters won or Al survived, the game would end, giving聽the Zombies聽its first-ever win condition.
Mob of the Dead was a taste of what the new age of Zombies was going to be. Players were given a checklist of tasks to complete, with optional quests and buildables ??to make survival easier. This blend of set-up and casual survival, combined with the grungy, otherworldly aesthetic, makes Mob of the Dead a one-of-a??-kind map.
1. Origins - Black Ops II
The final map to release in Black Ops II is a refinement of some of the mechanics found in Mob of the Dead. Although, what Origins did that Mob didn't, was refine what would become the standard for Zombies maps going forward in the Black Ops series.
Taking place "on the battlefields of the great war," players would once again take control of the classic characters, Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo. However, these characters were different from the inherently goofy and sarcastic versions they had been removed from since Black Ops. These characters were more mature?, refined, and grounded. The world around them was not.
O??rigins took place in an alternate, steampunk timeline, where giant robots roamed the WWI trenches and zombies terrorized the battlefield. The map was split into multiple sections, as players had to hold out on six generators to activate the Pack-a-Punch, excavated from the mysterious dig site that caused the zombie outbreak.
Players would find pieces of mag?ic staffs throughout the map by either entering the robot by shooting a hatch as it stepped on them or digging them up during the brief times it snowed. Finding the gramophone and record item would open magic portals around the battlefield, allowing players to find a gem to complete their staff. With four buildable staffs, each player was able to wield a powerful Wonder Weapon, allowing them to incinerate, freeze, electrocute, or blow away hordes of zombies with ease.
At round eight, a Panzer Soldat would spawn in, a powerful enemy with a flamethrower and a grappling hook, ensnaring anyone in its way. If you could survive that long, Origins kept you busy by havi?ng Templar zombies attack the generators, forcing you to move to and stop them before you had to hold out on more difficult rounds.
Challenges were also introduced as a main mechanic, permitting players to complete objectives to unlock s??pecial rewards. Getting 115 headshots rewarded you with a free Pack-a-Punched weapon, while spending 30,000 points awarded you a bottle of Double Tap, letting you bypass the perk limit.
Any perk that wasn't available as a machine could be found in the Wunder-Fizz, which functioned like the Mystery Box but for perks. Origins did retain its four-perk limit, but you could increase the number of perks you could hold by upgrading your shovel. Once you acquired the gold shovel by using it enough, using the new powerup Zombie Blood would allow you to see special dig spots invisible by normal means??, and digging them would give you a free perk. Digg?ing enough spots with the golden shovel would net players with the golden helmet, preventing them from taking any damage when being stepped on by the giant robots.
The main quest would see players freeing Sam?antha from Agartha, though much like the new crew, this Samantha was different, guiding players through the mission rather than acting as the antagonist. Completing the Easter Egg ends the game, much like Mob of the Dead. However, this conclusion was a fully animated cutscene, whe?re players discovered that the events of the map were nothing but action figures being played in Samantha's imagination...
...At least, that's what players assumed... until the plot of Black Ops III changed everything.
Origins sits atop the list of 15 best Call of Duty Zombies maps not just because of how influential it is to the series but also because of its intuitive set-up phase, its many side objectives, its powerful Wonder Weapons, and its entertaining and chall??enging main quest. It remains a map that fans will always come back to, no matter what mood they are in, as it readily satisfies every player's zombie-slaying needs.
