How to extract fast in Black Ops Cold War Zombies
Black Ops Cold Wars Die Maschine map has introduced a new mechanic to Zombies called extracting. Here’s how to do it fast in action.
Extracting is new feature in zombies that allows the player to exit the zombies map, and end the game. The extraction process is difficult, but if done within the 1 minute and 30 second time frame, you will be rewarded with extra Aetherium Crystals for upgrades.
The difficult part is of course doing the extraction within the time frame, so here’s some tips.
Extracting in a party
Playing with other players makes things easier in terms of raw firepower, however there will be significantly more zombies you’ll have to eliminate in order to escape. This also includes extra boss zombies.
You’ll have to do this in a small space too, so spacing between teammates is crucial. Here’s some recommended equipment to take with your squad before you begin extraction.
- Monkey bombs – You can craft these at crafting tables across the map.
- Chopper gunner – You should only need one. Have 1 teammate grab this. You can craft this at a crafting table.
- War Machines – Have your remaining teammates bring War Machines. It will turn crowds of the undead into a pulp.
- Wonder weapons/high power shotguns – You will absolutely need these to take down boss zombies.
- Self Revive- Quick revives without needing a teammate to assist.
The Strategy
When extracting, have a teammate use the chopper gunner to mow down the zombies in the area, then use the remaining teammates to focus the boss zombies. They will need to be taken down fast, as their HP pools are massive, and when they split there are about 5 seconds where you cannot damage the enemies.
While doing this, you can always throw a monkey bomb to get you out of a situation or spam a War Machine. If you are well coordinated, this should be relatively easy.
As a Solo Player
Things get a bit more complicated here. You can choose to use the chopper gunner like before, but note that some zombies might run away from the extraction area, causing you to wait for them. You may fail extraction because of this.
Currently, the best strategy is to take the following
- A wonder weapon (D.I.E. Shockwave, Ray Gun)
- Monkey Bombs
- War Machine/Chopper (if you’re willing)
- Pack-a-punched weapon with the Brain rot ammo mod
- Self-Revive
In this situation, you’ll want to eliminate the regular zombies as fast as possible to get them out of the way. Spam your War Machine, throw monkey bombs – do whatever it takes to eliminate all enemies quickly.
After all the regular enemies are down, lay fire into the boss zombies. It should be a breeze to extract after.
