  • The surface-level Dig Site is your entryway to the rest of the map. Strange glowing runes mark certain alcoves, perhaps gateways to the subterranean regions beyond. A large, partially uncovered stone face lies at the pit of the site, roped off and long forgotten, a nearby fallen pillar. Scale the stairs and scaffolding to further explore the area. Don’t linger too long, lest you end up like the headless statue on the upper tiers of this archeological area.

This location in Black Ops 6 Zombies The Tomb serves as your spawn point, featuring glowing ruins that may act as gateways to deeper areas of the map. Stairs and scaffolding will also be present, allowing for further exploration.


2) Neolithic Catacombs and Ossuary

  • Exploring the Neolithic Catacombs, you may notice how far back the area goes, both physically as well as through layers of ancient cultures and civilizations. Cave paintings adorn the cavernous walls while winding pathways lead through the natural hollows of the earth. In the Ossuary, stacked with the skulls of the long dead, the cavern gives way to the stone architecture of a later age, its bone piles, and altars lending an ominous presence throughout.

This area in Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb will showcase traces of human civilization, with layers of ancient cultures. Expect to encounter cave paintings and winding pathways that exude an ominous presence, adorned with stacked skulls, stone architecture from a later age, and bone piles.


3) Tombs

  • Statues of ancient warriors line the Tombs in alcoves along the walls along with depictions of shielded hoplites engaging a charging bull. Though the vault has long crumbled into disarray, the remnants of pristine architecture are on clear display, illuminated through the patch of sunlight falling through a crumbled hole in the ceiling.

4) Shrine of the Hierophants

  • Ancient priests charged with interpreting the sacred mysteries, the hierophants seem to have uncovered more than they were bargaining for. The candlelit, vaulted ceiling marks the resting place of important figures, a frieze sculpted into the wall showing a fierce battle between opposing forces. Arrow Trap installations line the stairway down into the shrine, flanked by skulls on chain pullies.

This candlelit area, with its vaulted ceiling, once served as the resting place for important figures of the past. The walls depict a fierce battle between opposing forces. Additionally, the stairway leading down into the shrine features the new gameplay element: Arrow Traps.


5) Subterranean Temple and Deep Excavation

  • Descend into the catacombs to reveal the huge, cavernous Subterranean Temple, where the stone architecture leads downward to a rocky outcropping peninsula known as the Deep Excavation. Scattered pillars encircle a place of worship below, the murky depths illuminated via faint shafts of what appears to be sunlight entering from a natural space in the rock above.

This location in Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb is marked by the Subterranean Temple, featuring vast stone architecture that leads to the Deep Excavation. Scattered stone pillars and areas of worship lie below, illuminated by shafts of sunlight entering from above.


6) Doorway to Nowhere and Dark Aether Nexus

This location in Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb map has been kept under wraps by the developers. However, in The Tomb's trailer, a brief clip shows a glowing purple orb and an energy beam striking a runic wall, opening a portal. This portal seemingly leads to the Dark Aether Nexus. While this interpretation is based solely on the trailer, more details will only be confirmed once the map goes live.
