Here’s how you can upgrade Monkey Bombs on the newly released Firebase Z map for Black Ops Cold War Zombies.

For years the Monkey Bomb has been a staple for CoD: Zombies players, offering a powerful distraction for the undead to run at. After just a few seconds, the Monkey Bomb will explode, sending a wave of zombies to their demise.

Since the addition of the Monkey Bomb, players have eagerly been awaiting the possible addition of an upgraded or pack-a-punched variant.

Looking for some extra kick with your Monkey Bombs? Well, for the new Black Ops Cold War map, Firebase Z, Treyarch have added just that for you to unlock! Here’s how!

How to upgrade the Monkey Bomb in Firebase Z

  • Step 1 – Obtain a Monkey Bomb through drops from Zombies or the crafting station.
  • Step 2 – Get near one of the three available Aether Reactors. (Make sure it’s activated)
  • Step 3 – Kill 50 Zombies with a Monkey Bomb near an Aether Reactor. You can keep track by checking the scoreboard.
  • Step 4 – The next Monkey Bomb you throw will be a special one, that will have more damage, play different music, and will result in the Zombies dancing around it.

That’s it! You can now use more powerful Monkey Bombs that make Zombies dance!
