Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch revealed new screenshots of the new Zombies map titled “The Tomb,” which will be available at the launch of Season 2. Alongside the new Zombies map, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 will introduce a terrifying new enemy and new gear, including a beloved weapon from past Call of Duty games.
Black Ops 6 Season 2 will begin on Tuesday, January 28 with a slew of new content for both multiplayer and Zombies, such as new weapons, maps, and returning modes like Gun Game. The second season continues the Zombies storyline with the addition of The Tomb, which takes place directly after the events of the Citadelle des Morts Zombies map. Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey must take their newly secured amulet to the cursed dig site and into the ancient catacombs, where the elusive Sentinel Artifact is believed to be hiding. Reports from The Tomb suggest that its depths are home to paranormal phenomena going back centuries into the past.
Treyarch Reveals Screenshots of The Tomb Zombies Map for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- The Tomb Zombies map is made up of nine areas:
- Dig Site
- Neolithic Catacombs
- The Ossuary
- Tombs
- Subterranean Temple
- Deep Excavation
- Shrine of the Hierophants
- Doorway to Nowhere
- Dark Aether Nexus
The new Black Ops 6 screenshots also highlighted the Tombs area, which has statues of ancient warriors lined up against the walls with depictions of shielded hoplites fighting against a charging bull. The architecture inside the Tombs is pristine, with sunlight shining into the area through a hole in the ceiling. Past the Tombs is the Shrine of the Hierophants, a candlelit and vaulted area that serves as the resting place for important figures from a bygone era. The shrine is the last stop before entering the Subterranean Temple and the Deep Excavation. These two areas are linked together within a vast cave, and scattered pillars encircle a strange place of worship.
Black Ops 6 players who survive in the Deep Excavation area can head even deeper to the Doorway to Nowhere and Dark Aether Nexus. Treyarch didn’t elaborate further on these areas yet, but it’s likely that the Dark Aether Nexus area will be the final destination for the map’s main quest, as the team is hopeful to release Samantha Maxis from her imprisonment in the Dark Aether. Players who have trouble completing the main quest in the standard Zombies mode may want to try out Directed Mode in Black Ops 6, since it caps the max round to round 15.
The Tomb will feature a new enemy called the Shock Mimic, creatures that disguise themselves as useful items and attack players with massive razor-sharp claws. The Shock Mimic can electrify players and disorient them with a distortion camouflage, which also disrupts the player’s radar. Powerful weapons like Black Ops 6’s Ray Gun should prove useful when fighting off the Shock Mimic, however. In addition, the fan-favorite PPSh-41 submachine gun returns alongside Black Ops 4’s Death Perception Perk-A-Cola.
