Surviving Call of Duty’s Open-World Outbreak Mode – Game Informer Live!

Click to watch embedded media

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2 just launched, and alongside its arrival comes the new Outbreak mode, which is an open-world twist on the series’ beloved zombie mode offerings. Outbreak tasks up to four players to complete the daunting Operation Threshold, an all-new mission that is set across several regions in the Ural Mountains of Russia, wherein the squad must explore designated hot zones and compete in a variety of challenges. The official Call of Duty blog post states that each mission “begins with a Requiem strike team entering one of these regions via helicopter, armed with a custom starting weapon and Field Upgrade.” The article then describes how players will navigate to their primary objective, with a waypoint marking the location on on the in-game map and mini-map. 

Players diving into Outbreak can expect a variety of activities to participate in, including mission investigations that task you with retrieving an important resource known as Aetherium Crystals, eliminating high value targets via a GPS satellite tracker, or defending a specific area on the map against waves of zombies that are corrupted by the Dark Aethery energy. In our recent feature, PC Editor Dan Tack describes why Outbreak is such a big deal:

This week, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War got a new Zombie mode, Outbreak. Well, “mode” is kind of treating this experiment lightly, because it very well could be the framework of an entirely new Zombies experience – and one that’s far more compelling for folks that aren’t already immersed in the round-based puzzle-hunting and metasolving that Zombies is known for.

To celebrate the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2, the Game Informer crew is going to be dropping into Outbreak to see what all of the fuss is about. Beginning at 3:00 p.m. Central, join Andrew Reiner, Dan Tack, Blake Hester, and myself for a roughly two-hour live stream as we explore everything that the open-world zombie mode has to offer.
