Treyarch aren’t done with Black Ops Cold War yet, as they’ve confirmed a ton of new Zombies content arrives with the April 25 update. Alongside a new Easter Egg, there will be a brand-new Outbreak mode and Season 6 weapons arrive in Mystery Boxes.

Vanguard and Warzone Pacific Season 3 is almost here, but Black Ops Cold War players haven’t been left behind. Many think of Cold War’s Zombies as one of the best in recent years, and there’s more content on the way.

Alongside bringing Jungle and a new weapon later, the April 25 update adds a new Easter Egg, the Outbreak Collapse LTM, and Season 6 weapons such as the Grav and LAPA will be available in Mystery Boxes.

Here are the full Cold War Zombies April 25 patch notes.

New Cold War Zombies Easter Eggs

Call of Duty Zombies’ Main Quest Easter Eggs are a huge part of the game, with Black Ops Cold War bringing one for each map. Although there aren’t any new maps arriving, Treyarch have added one more Easter Egg for the most dedicated players.

The April 25 patch notes confirm they have “Added a new secret location offering over a dozen rewards and a permanent upgrade in all Zombies maps, depending on how many Main Quests you’ve completed.”

Outbreak quickly became a fan-favorite mode, and the April 25 update brings new enemies to the mode as well as the Outbreak Collapse LTM.

In Outbreak Collapse, “Players must outlast increasingly intense waves for 10 minutes before attempting to exfil from a single Region.” The difficulty will increase every two minutes before players need to fight their way to “the exfil point at the farthest position from your squad.”

On top of that, the Abomination enemy has been added to Outbreak and players will now face the HVT Abomination in the Eliminate Objective.
