A combination ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warin-game teasers and leaks reveal what may be coming in the title’s first DLC. For example, recent discoveries indicate where the nextCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies map will be set.
Treyarch’s latest entry in theCall of Duty: Black Opsseries is being generally well-received since its November 13 launch, despite some criticism regarding limited content.

Earlier this year, leaks forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode revealed that the game would launch with Die Maschine and a Vietnam-based map called Firebase Z. The latter map isn’t currently in the game, so it’s likely the map has been saved as post-launch content. A document found within the game files further teases a Vietnam setting.
This Russian intelligence report suggests players will be heading to the Khe Sanh region in Vietnam. Furthermore, the screens Weaver looks at in Zombies' intro cutscene points to several distinct locations. These include Berlin, Russia, and Vietnam. Seriesveterans may recall visiting the Khe Sanh Combat Base (a real-world location) in the originalBlack Opscampaign.
There is more in-game evidence supporting the theory of the next map’s Vietnam location. During theBlack Ops Cold Warcampaign mission"Operation Fractured Jaw," players see another real-world location in Firebase Ripcord, although only from the air. However, one player who managed to glitch into the area discovered a Zombies Easter egg.
The sign for the Doctors Quarters uses the same model as Richtofen’s Quarters from Shi No Numa. This could mean Firebase Z consists of both Khe Sanh and Firebase Ripcord, possibly connected by Aether portals. Unfortunately, players will most likely have to wait until next year for a new Zombies map. DespiteCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarSeason 1’s upcoming release, only “New Modes” are teased rather than maps. Popular leaker and Viral Junkie CEO Tom Henderson doesn’t believe there will be a new Zombies map until at least February 2021.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies appears to finally be on the upswing. After a buggy launch, theNovember 21 update fixed many Zombies issuesin Die Maschine as well as Dead Ops Arcade 3. Players will want to keep an eye on what changes the approaching Season 1 will bring.
While theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies community hopes for more DLC sooner than later, it is looking like it might take a while. In the meantime, players can always discover more of Die Maschine’s secrets, likea reference to the coffin dance meme.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
