Master the Training Camp in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Zombies mode. Learn strategies for Rounds 5-8, including the Junkyard Gladiator School challenge and new armored enemies.

This section covers the Training Camp area in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies, specifically focusing on Rounds 5 through 8. This area introduces new hazards and a challenging enemy type.

New Enemy Type: In Round 5, you'll encounter the "Junkyard Gladiator School" challenge. This features larger, armor-encased zombies with a ranged attack. They can dash-jump and instantly kill you if you don't evade their targeting reticle.

Level Strategy:

  1. Avoid Hazards: Be mindful of the various traps in the area, such as vertical rotating flogger traps and garage doors. Getting hit by these is equivalent to a death.
  2. Use Navigation Arrows: Pay attention to the arrows indicating safe paths through trees and between hazards.
  3. Defeat Gladiators Quickly: For the challenge round, prioritize taking down the armored zombies.
    • First-Person Mode (FPM): Aim for the head and shoot off their helmets before finishing them.
    • Third-Person Mode (TPM): Regardless of your perspective, if you see a red target indicator, move immediately to avoid their attack.
  4. Utilize the Environment: You can use the flogger traps to your advantage by luring zombies into them, especially if they are approaching from a single direction.
  5. Movement is Key: Camping is generally not advised, especially in solo play. Keep moving and shooting to avoid being overwhelmed. This strategy is more effective with a full 4-player squad.
