Junkyard (9-12)

Master the Junkyard (9-12) arena in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War! Learn strategies for barrel zombies, shock towers, and avoiding deathtraps to survive.

Alright, so you've made it to the Junkyard arena, which is basically a bigger, more dangerous version of the last place you were in. It's still a junkyard, but this time there are no random hazards to worry about. The big twist here is that there are a couple of enclosed spots that look perfect for camping, but trust me, unless you've got a full squad of four, you'll want to steer clear. I call those enclosed areas 'death traps' for a reason!

Right off the bat, you're going to face a challenge called "Barrelly Making It." Yeah, they love their puns. If you remember the old Dead Ops Arcade game, there was a round called "Fish in a Barrel." This is pretty much the same idea, but instead of barrels rolling off buildings, you've got zombies carrying explosive barrels. Keep an eye out for those, plus you'll encounter your first shock towers in this arena.

Level Strategy:

The zombies carrying those explosive barrels are your main priority – they're the biggest threat. Take them out as fast as you can. Keep your eyes peeled for better weapons around the map to help you deal with them more efficiently. Also, seriously, avoid getting cornered in those enclosed 'deathtraps' above. You can pop in quickly to grab power-ups if you're sure no zombies are lurking nearby or if you can get out fast, but don't linger. Always keep moving, and remember those tough gladiator zombies from the previous arena will still show up to mess with you.
