Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.

The new Forsaken map marks the finale of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies storyline. Being the last map before the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard, Forsaken is filled with both new content and nostalgic throwbacks to earlier Zombies modes, like that of World at War and Black Ops 3. Powerful new weapons were also added, including a transforming axe, as was a revamp of the popular perk PhD Flopper from Call of Duty: Black Ops.

This map is located within Ukraine at a military outpost taken over by the hordes of undead. Players are tasked with helping Maxis overcome the zombie threat lurking in the facility, utilizing the many powerful weapons available there. Forsaken also features many quirks not found in other Call of Duty Zombies maps, such as a new starting area, bosses, teleporters, and Easter eggs.

When players first spawn into the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Forsaken Zombies map, they’ll find themselves in the Staging Area, where rounds progress automatically. To get out of the room, players will have to start the initialization sequence on a nearby teleporter, survive the initialization sequence’s 30-second timer, make it to at least the game’s third round. Taking the teleporter will grant access to the full map, but players can also stay in the Staging Area for a unique, first-room challenge of quickly progressing rounds.

Black Ops Cold War Forsaken’s New Features – PHD Slider

Along with the Forsaken map comes the new PHD Slider perk, a nod to Call of Duty: Black Ops’ PHD Flopper perk. PHD Slider makes Zombies’ sliding mechanic lethal. At tier one, the player will no longer take environmental damage from environmental hazards. maps; tier two increased the length of each slide; tier three grants immunity to explosive damage from friendly sources, allowing the classic strategy of spamming a ray gun at the ground to get out of a pinch to return; tier four increases the speed of sliding; and tier five triggers explosions when landing after falling, based on how high the fall was, similar to the effect of PHD Flopper.

Black Ops Cold War Forsaken’s New Features – Chrysalax Wonder Weapon

The Chrysalax is the unique Wonder Weapon for Forsaken. It initially has damage modes – a melee axe mode and an SMG-like ranged option. The Crysalax’s damage stacks with class abilities, such as Melee 5’s 25% melee damage increase, making it a great option for surviving into Zombies’ higher round numbers. Another great perk the Chrysalax provides is the ability to leech armor and health out of zombies, which can easily be the difference between life and death in a pinch. The Chrysalax is acquired by various means around the map, such as the Mystery Box, Trials Machine, or by the new Arcade Token mechanic.

Black Ops Cold War Forsaken’s New Features – Arcade Tokens

Downed zombies will sometimes drop a new item called an Arcade Token. These can be spent in the abandoned Arcade to play various minigames. The first, called Enduro, is an RC car stunt course that rewards prizes like extra points. The second is a remaster of the original COD: World at War Zombies map, Nacht der Untoten. For each round completed, a chest will spawn with rewards like points, powerups, and salvage. The last minigame is Der Eisendrache, named after the map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Similar to the dragon-feeding objective of the original map, the minigame requires players to kill zombies in a ring of fire for a potential golden chest reward, which may include the Chrysalax.

Black Ops Cold War Forsaken’s New Features – Abomination Mini Bosses

The new mini bosses on Forsaken are Abominations – large, three-headed dogs that play an integral role in the completion of the map’s main Easter egg. Similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies’ Margwas mini bosses on the Shadows of Evil map, the Abominations are defeated by shooting each of the three heads. However, the Abominations pose a more significant threat, as they are equipped with much better mobility than the Margwas.

Black Ops Cold War Forsaken’s New Features – The Forsaken Boss

The final boss of the new map is a giant, humanoid creature called The Forsaken, which has a very different health mechanic from other bosses in Zombies. To damage it, players must charge mounted energy turrets by killing zombies with the Chrysalax, then shoot the turrets at weak spots. Normal guns can only be used to damage The Forsaken’s armor and will not affect its main health bar. After defeating The Forsaken, players will see the the final cutscene of Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode.

As the final Zombies map of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Forsaken brings things back to where it all started, referencing Zombies modes of the past and even the mode’s original map. Call of Duty: Vanguard and its new Zombies mode are set to release on November 5, 2021. Since the new game is again developed by Treyarch, the Zombies story will be continuing much sooner than fans are used to.
