Downed & Revival Mechanics

Pay close attention to how much life you have since this will determine how many hits you can take from a zombie. The image above shows that a character has 150 health, meaning 3 Zombie attacks will down him.

Your Pistol Is Powerful When Downed

When downed, your weapons will be replaced by a pistol. This pistol is powerful since it can one-hit kill a Zombie. Do not be trigger-happy though, as it can still run out of bullets.

You Need To Be Revived When Downed

In your downed state, you will bleed out. You will need to be revived by a teammate to stand back up and use your other weapons. Bleeding out before your teammate can revive you will kill you.

Tips When Playing Zombies Mode

Zombie Mode - Tips & Guides

Here are some other tips when playing Zombies:

One Player Creates A Train

A player creates a train of Zombies by baiting them to follow him or her. While this is happening other players can focus on thinning out the herd of Zombies safely while they are distracted by the player baiting them.

Stay Close To Your Team

Zombies Mode - Tips & Guides

It is advised to stay close to your team so that you will be able to reach each other in case anything happens to them.

Communicate With Each Other

Besides staying close, it is best to have a way of communicating with your team. To have an easier time keeping tabs on the whereabouts of each other. You can also plan out a strategy before the next wave!

Leave A Single Zombie

CoD: BO4 Zombies Tips & Guides

By leaving a few Zombies on the map before the wave ends, you can pretty much do whatever you want such as board up windows, buy weapons, and explore the map. This is because the next wave will not start unless the last Zombie is killed.

Single Zombie could die alone without being attacked. So leaving a few Zombies is a better way.
