The final chapter of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies is live right now, and it features a massive confrontation between Omega and Requiem. While the story is interesting, and the confrontation with the Forsaken should be memorable, the last Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War map is also full of easter eggs.
Alongside the main quest and upgrade quest for the new Chrysalax Wonder Weapon, Forsaken includes an arcade. Taking a page out of Infinity Ward’s book and what it did with Zombies in Spaceland’s arcade back in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, players can complete three different games inside the arcade. Each serves as an easter egg and a fun way to gain rewards, and the uniqueness of the games make them something that all players should experience at least once.
Activating Forsaken’s Arcade Games And Getting A Token
While players can open the door to the arcade as quickly as they want, they will need to lift the lockdown before they are able to interact with one of the three machines. Fortunately, players lift the lockdown as part of the Pack-A-Punch activation process, meaning that the game will tell them where to go and what to do. By following the stars on the map, players will hop through some teleporters, collect some parts, and make their way to the tower where the lockdown button is pressed.
Once Lockdown is lifted, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players will need to collect a token that can be used to activate one of the machines. This can be done in one of two ways. First, players can get lucky and pick up a glowing blue coin off a downed Zombie. The tokens drop often, so gamers should definitely consider just waiting for a token drop early on. This is because it costs 10,000 points to purchase a token from a cabinet in the arcade. For high round players, though, that second method of entering the arcades should be just as reliable, as they will have plenty of points to spare.
How To Find And Complete Each Of Forsaken’s Arcade Games
There are three arcade games that players can complete, and all of them should be easy to locate due to the small size of the arcade. They are as follows:
Nacht Der Untoten - Easily the most in-depth machine, this awesome easter egg can be found at the back of the arcade. The machine will be labeled with the logo from Call of Duty: World at War and will feature a gun on its front. Once inside, gamers will have to survive in the very first Zombies map, Nacht Der Untoten, for two and a half minutes. It will look very much like the original, and players will only have a 1911 at the start. After each wave, a better chest will spawn, though players need to keep a close eye on their limited ammo count and always aim for the head.
Der Eisendrache - On the right side of the arcade, a Pinball machine based on the beloved Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 map Der Eisendrache can be found. This easter egg is a lot simpler, though, as it essentially sees players completing the dragon rocket objective from Outbreak. The undead will attack from the four Dark Aether portals around the rocket, and each kill inside the pink circle will fill the containers on the rocket itself. Once the rocket is full and the Zombies are dead, it will blast off into the sky, leaving a chest full of rewards behind.
Enduro - The final game is found in the center of the arcade, though it is not a nostalgia-filled callback to Call of Duty Zombies’ past like the others. Instead, it is a nod to an Atari game made by Activision called Enduro. Instead of actually playing Enduro, though, players dash around an RC-XD track picking up points. A fair number of points can be collected if players are thorough and time their jumps properly when using the ramps. With the other two games providing equipment, having another that is a source of points is terrific.
It is worth noting that the rewards from chests will only get better as the match progresses, so there is always a reason for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fans to keep coming back to the arcade. With Zombies perks dropping often, and even the new Chrysalax Wonder Weapon having a chance to spawn, there is tons of value in the rewards from the three games. Beyond that, they are simply a ton of fun, and old school Zombies fans should go out of their way to use the World at War machine in particular.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
