First debuted in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Grief returns to Zombies in Season 04! In this competitive mode, two teams fight to be the last squad standing in a battle between S.A.M. and Director Richtofen.
Each team fights the undead horde in a sub-section of the chosen map. While opposing players can’t directly damage each other, you can slow down the enemy team through body-blocking or attacking with melee weapons and projectiles.
Rounds progress faster than usual, and you’ll be facing an increased number of zombies per round, given the eight-player nature of the mode. To really make things tough for your living opponents, move into Capture Zones that appear throughout the match; earn specific types of kills while inside the zone to trigger a Grief on the other team, including a variety of temporary debuffs like reduced damage, an ammo drain, a zombie ambush, and slowed movement speed.
The action is constant and frantic, so think fast, survive, and do everything in your power to put the enemy team through the wringer.
