Mausoleum (13-16)

Navigate the tricky Mausoleum arena in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Learn strategies for solo and co-op play, power-up locations, and escape routes.

Alright, so you've hit the Mausoleum section, levels 13 through 16. At first glance, it might remind you of that crazy scene in The Matrix Reloaded, and you're not totally wrong! Think of this place as an internal cemetery, and it's a pretty tight, tricky spot. The steps here can be a lifesaver, or they can be a real pain. You get a great view from the top of the stairs, perfect for covering your team, but here's the kicker: there's a zombie spawn point right underneath it!

This arena doesn't have any special challenge rounds, so it's all about managing the regular zombie waves.

Level Strategy

This part is definitely more manageable with a squad, but you can totally tackle it solo. Your best bet is to stick to the bottom level as much as possible because that's where most of the power-ups tend to pop up. When things get a little too hectic down there, don't hesitate to use the stairway to move around. A cool trick is that you can jump from the top of the steps straight down to the bottom level, and the zombies won't follow you down, so keep that in mind as a quick escape. Heads up: even if you're chilling at that prime sniping spot on the ledge, zombies can still climb up and get you. So, stay mobile, keep moving, and get ready to head to another familiar arena.
