Ashes of the Damned: A Zombies Bermuda Triangle
Ashes of the Damned picks up right where Black Ops 6’s storyline ended with the Reckoning’s main Easter egg quest, featuring Weaver’s crew alongside Takeo, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Richtofen from different timelines.
Treyarch describes the map as an off-world “Bermuda Triangle,” where various earthly and celestial locations were transported and dropped into the Dark Aether. Inspired by Black Ops 2’s Tranzit, six map locations are connected by dangerous stretches of road filled with fog and lurking creatures.
Ol’ Tessie: The Ultimate Wonder Vehicle
The star feature is Ol’ Tessie, an armored truck that starts basic but can be upgraded with turrets and other features. Most impressively, the gameplay trailer shows it can transform into a Pack-a-Punch machine, revolutionizing how players upgrade weapons.
The vehicle can become inoperable if damaged, requiring players to figure out repair mechanics while navigating the dangerous fog-covered roads between map sections.
Zursa: Zombie Bear Terror
The new elite enemy Zursa is a zombie bear that delivers devastating bites and claw strikes, leaving players wounded and vulnerable until recovery. Beyond physical attacks, Zursa can ram the Wonder Vehicle, creating tactical challenges.
Most uniquely, Zursa hosts parasitic insects called Zombees that swarm from hive-like growths on its fur, creating chaotic secondary attacks that can sting players.
Enhanced Arsenal & Perks
The Necrofluid Gauntlet Wonder Weapon – a black, skull-fanged glove – functions as both ranged and melee weapon, joining returning favorites like Ray Gun and Ray Gun Mark II.
A new perk called Wisp Tea summons a protective ethereal creature after dealing significant damage, activated faster through field upgrades and high-damage equipment.
