The story will see the crew continue their quest after the events of The Tomb where S.A.M AI pointed them in the direction of Liberty Falls straight into the Richtofen’s Mansion.

Plot

In The Tomb, we witnessed S.A.M. AI instruct the crew about their next move. It tells the team to go back to Liberty Falls and that they may see their lost friend, Agent Samantha Maxis, soon. However, thanks to the cut-scenes in Modern Warfare Zombies, we know that Agent Maxis is gone for good and cannot be saved.

We also see a clip of Richtofen in the mansion as he fights off hordes of zombies using the Wunderwaffe, a Wonder Weapon that we may witness in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. The new map will be the crew's next location in terms of the storyline as well as gameplay.

It is now apparent that the S.A.M AI is leading the team through the horrors of Colton Hall, the new map’s location. The AI’s physical body is locked away inside this venue and it seems to be luring the team for a meeting after promising them the return of Agent Maxis. Popular characters such as Ravenov, Peck, and Strauss lead the missions through Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Potential POIs

Several potential POIs were hinted at by the official Treyarch X account. Here is a list of four possible locations you may see in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies:

Motor Court
Banquet Hall
Grand Foyer
Mainframe Chamber

The images were added with cryptic captions that pointed in the direction of Liberty Falls. We have previously seen that the S.A.M AI's physical body is present in Liberty Falls. Furthermore, locations like the Grand Foyer have previously been seen in Richtofen's Mansion in the Liberty Falls ending cutscene.

Wonder Weapon

Two new Wonder Weapons will be featured in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. The first is the Ray Gun Mark II. It unleashes three-round bursts of energy to eliminate multiple opponents at once. It also doubles as a bludgeoning tool to deal damage when you’re out of ammo.

Ray Gun Mark II can also be experimented on to upgrade it to new variants as follows:

Ray Gun Mark II-W: Offering similar bullet patterns to a submachine gun, this also has a random chance to ignite enemies.
Ray Gun Mark II-P: Shooting ammunition like a shotgun, with a chance to spawn a sigil with the ability to grant invulnerability to the player standing on it for a limited time.
Ray Gun Mark II-R: Dropping zombies with a Marksman Rifle-like discharge, expect a chance to spread a plague infection that can inflict area-of-effect damage.

Apart from this, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, first introduced in Call of Duty: World at War will be making its return in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies. It’s a perfect weapon for eliminating multiple opponents at once as it releases bursts of chain lightning and also has a ‘stun’ effect on larger hordes of zombies.

New enemies

New enemies in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies include the Elder Disciples and the Toxic Zombies.

The Elder Disciples are apparition-like creatures who can summon more enemies to join their battle. More concerningly, they can empower other zombies and give them more power, even evolving a low-level zombie into a full-grown Doppelghast. It’s best to eliminate Elder Disciples before they get too strong.

Apart from them, players should beware of the Toxic Zombies. As the name suggests, these creatures exude a toxic hue of green and appear more skeletal than the other zombies. They run toward you in the game before exploding and leaving a pool of acid behind. If they close the distance before being eliminated, they can easily cause unrepairable damage.

Double Tap

The iconic Perk-a-Cola Double Tap returns to the zombies mode with Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6. Like the Wunderwaffe DG-2, it first appeared in Call of Duty: World at War. It is essentially a rapid-fire perk and increases your weapon’s fire rate to help eliminate enemies faster.

New Gobblegums

Three new Gobblegums will be gracing the game in the upcoming new map. These are as follows:

Tactical Diffusion (Rare): Disables the next Nuke Power-Up explosion you activate and gives everyone 2,000 Essence instead.
Support Group (Legendary): Gobble up this tasty GobbleGum to acquire the ARC-XD, Mangler Cannon, Sentry Gun, and Mutant Injection Support items.
Die Pitched (Whimsical): Zombies have high-pitched voices. Lasts three minutes.

New Scorestreak

Players can now unlock the new Support Scorestreak in Shattered Veil in Black Ops 6 Zombies, the Death Machine. A powerful Gatling machine gun with a massive magazine, high penetration, and fast fire rate. You can piece it together through the Crafting Table in the Support Tab. Its salvage price stands at 1,750 points. You can unlock the weapon during the Black Ops Tribute Event.

This is everything we know about the upcoming Black Ops 6 Zombies map, Shattered Veil.
