Trying to survive against waves of the undead is a great challenge and entertainment with an attractive learning curve. Now it's time to enjoy it in a mode that combines the frantic pace with exploration. Outbreak mode fills the map with zombies in an unparalleled challenge and here are some tips to help you make the most of the experience.
Always keep moving
As Brad Pitt said in World War Z, movement is life. In practically any game with waves of enemies, it's a bad idea to stay in one place for too long. The game tends to choose precisely that moment to launch hordes of zombies. That's why you have to keep moving and advancing on your targets. But don't get carried away. If you get too far from your squad, you'll be overrun quickly.
Optimise the start points
One basic tip for the CoD zombies has always been to use hand-to-hand combat in the beginning, when they are weaker and can be killed more easily with one or two blows. This gives you more points in the first steps of the game. The same is true in this mode. In the first minutes, it's worth saving ammunition and getting those extra points so you can get improvements as quickly as possible.
Leave no stone unturned
Exploring is key. Going through areas without stopping won't benefit you at all. But if you take the time to efficiently plunder, you'll find hidden treasure and places with rare items and good equipment. A good trick for finding the chests is to listen closely because they have a fairly distinctive sound.
Battering ram
Shooting zombies is good, but it's much better to squash them under the wheels of a truck. In addition to using vehicles to explore more quickly, you can also use them as a weapon. It will damage the vehicle until it is no longer serviceable but that's not a problem as they pop up all the time. Plus, it will unlock one of the Dark Ops challenges.
Strength, guaranteed
As you open loot boxes, you'll get lots of scrap metal that, like money in Warzone, you can spend on improvements. You should mainly spend it on armour. That will help you make it to the end of the match when it is most difficult and you'll take the most damage. Although it's never a bad idea to get some improvements so your weapons deal more damage. If you have extra scrap, this is the second most important investment.
Communicate with your squad
Killing zombies and surviving is a team sport. Communication is key to overcome the challenges, plunder efficiently and help squadmates quickly. Playing with friends is a bit easier, as you can communicate via chat without problems. With random people it can be more difficult, but not impossible. Use the methods in the game, call out targets and problems, and plan certain movements to keep things organised.
Use different equipment
Just like movement, diversity is also life. A squad with similar weapons, field improvements and other equipment or skills has a lot of shortcomings. But if you diversify and make sure different squad members have different characteristics or roles, you can be much more efficient.
