Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War has finally arrived, bringing a new campaign, multiplayer and zombies modes to the table. If you’re looking to take the undead horde on solo, you may be wondering how to play single-player zombies in Black Ops Cold War. This guide will talk you right through that process.
How to Play Zombies in Single-Player
To play solo, load up ‘Zombies’ from the game’s main menu. Next, select the ‘Die Maschine’ level by pressing A on Xbox or X on PlayStation.
You’ll now need to select a private match. This can be done by pressing RB/ R1 to tab over to the ‘Private’ section, and then choosing the Die Maschine Solo mode from the options that appear.
Once all this is done, simply begin the match and you’ll be thrown onto the zombies map on your own.
Tips for Single-Player Zombies in Black Ops Cold War
Remember, you’ll want to make sure you’ve fine-tuned your loadout, and spent any Aetherium Crystals you’ve got on upgrading your perks and loadouts whenever possible.
If you’re looking to play Black Ops Cold War’s zombies in single-player, we’d also advise you get familiar with the map first.
Know the way to turning the power on, and work out little circuits and paths around obstacles you can lead the zombies around to begin ‘training.’
‘Training’ is the process of amassing a large mob of zombies, and then having them follow you around a set loop over and over, giving you time to slowly thin out the crowd.
It can take some time to do this successfully, but is a tried and tested method for reaching high waves in single-player zombies sessions.
That’s everything you need to know on playing zombies single-player in Black Ops Cold War. For more tips, tricks and guides on the game, head on over to our guide wiki, search for Twinfinite, or check out even more of our coverage on the game below.
