Black Ops Zombie Mode Weapons, Perks, and Power Ups Guide

Add Comment


You need to kill zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie Mode to earn points, which enable you to buy weapons, open doors and blockades, and use Mystery Box. You probably would want to be wise if you are to survive long, wasting money in the early rounds is not a good idea. Save some cash for the later stages 1-10 are relatively easy. So plan for the long run from the start.

Save some cash, only one or two person buy a good gun, and that’s enough. Though, try mystery weapon box to get your hand on lazer may be. You can get weapons, and repair broken barricades at the end of the round by leaving one zombie alive.

Old strategy we also discussed in Shi No Numa, Verrukt, and Der Riese.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Pack a Punch Weapon Upgrades

Weapon. M1911
Upgrade. Mustang and Sally
Effect. Small Mag, Dual Wield, Grenade Launcher
Good upgrade, but the impact damage of the launcher if fired too close, can take you out. Be careful, Jugger-Nog Perk = Better.

Weapon. M14
Upgrade. Mnesia
Effect. Large Mag, Increased Damage
Large Magazine takes more time to reload so speed cola necessary if you are to use this weapon. Though, damage is good but reload time too low to be used at later stages in the game.

Weapon. Olympia
Upgrade. Hades
Effect. Power and Range increases, Incendiary Rounds
Large Mag, slow reload. Speed cola recommended if you are to use this weapon. It comes in handy when you are to spray for longer periods of time, behind a cover with your friends protecting you just like in using LMG in Zombie mode. Otherwise its reload time can get you in trouble.

Weapon. AK-74u
Upgrade. AK74fu2
Effect. Precision Sight, Large Magazine and Increased Damage
Bigger Magazine increases ammo, and precision sight increases accuracy. Still, the last thing you want to do in Zombie mode is run and gun.

Weapon. MP40
Upgrade. The Afterburner
Effect. Large Mag, Increased Damage
Large Magazine and more damage, with the upgrade.

Weapon. Stakeout
Upgrade. Raid
Effect. Large Magazine, 2 Shells Reload, More Power, Increased Damage, Increased Range.
Upgrade decreases reload time and increases damage. You can use double tap with this and speed cola to increase its effectiveness.

Weapon. MPL
Upgrade. MPL-LF
Effect. Large Magazine,Precision Sight
MPL has a small mag to start with, even though the upgrade makes it bigger still they are better weapons out there.

Weapon. MP5k
Upgrade. MP115 Kollider
Effect. Large Magazine, Increased Damage

Weapon. PM63
Upgrade. Tokyo & Rose
Effect. Dual Wield
You can fire one weapon while reloading the other, but the accuracy is poor, you would most probably get into trouble.

Weapon. M16
Upgrade. Skullcrusher
Effect. Automatic, Increased Damage, Grenade Launcher
Good weapon upgrade to use especially with grenade launcher. Limited grenades though, so use them wisely.

      Hey I need a good Kino Der Toten team of 4 including me so if you are good then email me at SachsSpencer@gmail.com and I will get back to you.
      (P.S. I play Xbox360 version)

    • Drax

      I read through all the comments only little bits and peaces helped. I play The basics with 4 friends at home for kicks. no aditional levels that didn’t start off with the game. I’ve noticed nobody mentions the electric nuckles which are great the first 14 rounds. If playing solo they can be aquired the first 4 rounds if you have been useing the pistal to rack up points. Knuckles cost 6000 points and are quick one hit kills for those 14 rounds on easy mode 2 hit kills after that. they make a nice zombie killer when you are down waiting for the team mate to pick you up. I’ve made it 27 rounds on the farm. (No pap) But easy is easy and we play for fun.

    • http://yahoo.com Awesome

      I have already beat level 60 solo!

    • Wintergreen5000

      Just want to comment on a couple things in your guide. Dual wielding isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how you’re trying to use them. The Tokyo and Tose for instance… you aren’t going to get head shots if you’re firing from too far away. They’re meant for up close combat. Just watch your back when you use them.

      Secondly: sniper rifles. They are potentially one of the most powerful weapons in the box. It’s a one-shot kill to the head up to round 32. They are good weapons, but it takes a certain type of player to use them properly.

      You forgot to add the Phantom, the upgraded version of the Spectre into your guide. It’s one of my favorite weapons, despite the almost instant drainage of your ammo once you begin to let the sparks fly.

      The GL16-GL35 and the G115 are good weapons, but ammo depletes extremely quickly, especially in the later rounds. They aren’t exactly worth upgrading unless you have a lot of points and just want a strong weapon. But if you don’t have a lot of points they aren’t ideal for upgrading.

      Any people want to be my friend on Ps3 lvl 38 online but i want to get higher send me a friend request and a message to tell me you want to get to a high round and we will play. My name is XDPROHD. I would want you to have skype or a headset.

    • joefabes99

      For solo, in 1 shoot 6 times with pistol then knife. Round 2 knife 2x. Round 3 buy M14 shoot 2x then knife. Round 4 open 1st 3 top doors.
      Round 5 open last door get power and bowie knife. Round 6-9 camp in jugs corner, buy jugs and quick revive, and find the box. Round 10-up pack-a-punch and buy speed cola, mule kick, and claymores. The best weapons to have are ray gun, thundergun, and hk21. Also try to get monkeys. At round 10 leave jugs corner and make zombie trains in the area buy the teleporter and power switch in the theater. Place your claymores to thin out the train. If you save ammo you will not have to worry about running out and also set traps and the turret every round. I made it to round 89 solo with this strategy.

      on keno der toten once you hit the stage DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR FARTHEST THAT LEADS TO THE ALLEYWAY! you can turn on the power and walk around the two dividers on the stage and rap3 train BUT make sure you aren’t walking with an lmg because the zombies will catch up with you and on the straights you can just spray at all the zombies following you for loads of points.

    • someguy

      me and my friend where playing on “five”, i got a ray gun and jumped on the table, he jumped off trying to get one too, well, he got one, when he pack a punched it it wasn’t quite right, instead of it coming out red, it had gold plating on it, unfortunatly he died and we couldn’t test it out. so does anybody know hoe to get it, or if its stronger?

    • mistah quack

      anyone want 2 ply zombies with me highest round 26
      or we could ply
      multiplayer rank 5th prestige lvl 43

      my name is Supahfrog44 (NO SPACES) on the PS3

    • Thanzon

      Best combo of weaps is the starting pistol ( forgot the name) upgraded, and the ray gun upgraded! Dont forget the bowie knife it kills 1 hit till round 10 ish and the crawling green ones till 12-14 save enough points to grind the box for ray gun/ and lightning gun ! Once u have 2 upgraded guns monkeys should drop! These are amazing!!! If ure playin solo always safe 3000p for juggernaught and quick revive

    • Thanzon

      My guide in short, works with solo only
      Start with knifing the first 3 rounds, you may find you get over run in round 3 so run around the stairs and (if you don’t get over run then keep one alive) go under the stairs to the door on the right. (cost 750) then the next door to the outside (cost 1000). If there is no box then don’t worry buy the ak of the wall and go into the corner by the silver gate don’t open it. Stay there till round 6-7 . If you need ammo just buy some more ak rounds. Ok now stay till you feel you can open the silver gate (1250p) and then the nxt door (1250p) . You should have enough for jugger (2500p) . Then stay at the bottom by the power and do circles with masses of zombies following you, keep killin them till u have enough points for an upgrade (5000p) activate the teleporter and upgrade the PISTOL you start with. Keep going to around round 15-20 . CONSERVE ammo! Then hunt the box down and save 4000p
      This isn’t in depth I’ll post a strat guide to my YouTube acc http://www.YouTube.com/thanzontherelentless

    • Stickeesox

      I feel like these guides are always so subjective with their descriptions of the guns. I was looking for the stats on the upgraded MPL-LF and read a lot of “this is weak” and “it’s just worth avoiding.” But for anyone who plays to do well a weak, fast shooting gun is the perfect gun for getting more points per kill. Course I still ditch it for any large magazine lmg.

    • black ops 111

      my highest on my own is level 41

    • summer

      my highest is 25 with my brother.. i usally start out with olempia but it starts sucking around 5 so best to buy m14 but dont stick with it long either .. the mystery box is ur friend but in wouldnt get 2 attached bc she’ll suck all ur money away. use ur pistil only till round 4 then toss it or upgrade but always have a good primary weapon if ur gonna keep it.. i love playing zombies on the orginal places so if u want hit me up my gamertag is.. ilovefood96 .. and btw im a girl so dont cry if im the one reviving you ;) lol

    • aaronsnowboy

      i was in level 17 on singleplayer, in split-screen level 24 in online level 47 and never upgrade my guns!

    • exannuc

      would it be possible to hack this on ps3, by changing the config. cfg file on the disk. it is read only but if you copy the files on your disk to your hard drive on your computer and knew the codes that enable godmade, infinite ammo etc. and then burn it to a blank disk then start the game on that, or would the run program on the ps3 look for the copyright encryption and not boot the game? but hten there is the problem of finding the codes to edit the file.

    • Calleigh’s_Symba

      my highest is lv 30 by myself and i just stay in the main room where you spawn at until the dogs come. if im doing good i still have all 3 revives still when the dogs come i usually have enough money to buy all the rooms to the alley and i buy the ak74, but if i have enough money about 5000 then i buy 1 quick revive buy all the doors to the m16 and i buy the m16 i stake out there until i have 7500 then i turn on the power its enough money 2 pap 1 gun and buy the jugernog but if u r having trouble bail and turn on the power when u have 2500 and buy the jugernog then trust me its better 2 b safe then sorry then go and experiment on the next few levels buy all 4 perks and the bowie knife asap and if im lucky i get the mb and get a fammas or ray gun. i personally think that the thundergun sucks but its a good gun 2 have when u r running and trying 2 escape from the zombies just 1 shot and ur clear thats all i have and if i improve my strategy ill post it my youtube account is MegaJoaquinP i currently dont have any videos yet but when i do ill post it on this and tell ya goodluck @ zombies

    • rudee

      all you have to do is get the mp40/m16 combined with a thundergun raygun m72anarchy or china beach.all perks stay near the stage circle them until at least 12 are following run 2 the rusty door turn around repeat but this will only work if you take the upstairs route.By the way store claymores in the light area to the left right after you leave the dressing room
      my max 33 but i goofed off.

    • dylan

      going to round 60 guna try to pap evry sigal gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Jesus

      Well what I like to do is hold off all of the zombies until round 4 or 5, then I open the first door on the top of the stairs in kino, then I open the other door, there I buy the stakeout and I hold them off till round 7 or 8, after that I open the bottom door where in the room where I bought the stakeout, and usually, a mystery box spawns there, I usually get a light machine gun, then I open the door next to the theatre, and I buy jugger-nog, after that, I wait till I have 5000 $, then I go to the teleporter, and I pack a punch, then I hold them off where you have to activate the teleporter. After that I just go around wait till they get close to me and I let them chase me, and I shoot them by then I have around 4000 and a pack a punch. Also when there’s a few zombie left, leave them and wait till them teleporter cools off, then activate them and kill the few leftover zombies, so that your good 4 the next round

    • xXIIEclipseIIXx

      my weapons of choice for the first 20 rounds is the m16 and mp40/ ballistic knife. i pick up my bowie knife first thing and than my jugger-nog once i reach my first 5000. this makes dogs and zombies easy until round 10 (for zombies). i dont upgrade my weapons until round 20 by this time i wont have ballisic knife and i start using the trap in the 2nd room upstairs before the mp40 room. by the time i hit round 25 i should have roughly 40000 points and all my revives if i didnt make a mistake. I dont touch the mystery box until its time to get my ballisic knife or hopefully ray gun.

      i keep the other doors to the alley from the front and the stage closed to keep the zombies at bay. this area i leave incase i really need to make some space. this is usually my sign that im about to lose. sometimes i will open the lobby doors to the alley for double tap but thats usually close to round 30

      (NEVER THINK THE JUGGERNOG AREA OR TIGHT ROOMS ARE A GOOD PLACE TO LINE UP ZOMBIES. NEVER BE BALLZY FOR THE TRAP INFRONT OF YOU AFTER TELEPORTING IN THE LOBBY UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR BALLISTIC KNIFE, CLAYMORES ARE AWESOME RIGHT AFTER TELEPORT IN THE LOBBY WHILE PREPARING TO USE THE TRAP UPSTAIRS, YOU WONT GET POWERUPS IN THE BEGINNING IF YOU DONT LET THEM OUT FIRST, NEVER RELY ON NUKES RIGHT AFTER TELEPORT OR NEXT ROUND YOU GOTTA THINK OF SOMETHING CLEVOR IF YOU DONT GET DOGS)

      lvl 26 is really my highest so this is my strategy for now, ontop of crawlers, windows, preppim teleport.

      pistol tip for the beginning for racking up a good amount of points:

      each bullet can hit 2 zombies at once.

      (hits in the chest before knife)
      round 1 = 5 shots
      round 2 = 8
      round 3 = 12
      round 4 = 16
      this is where you would probably stop unless you got max ammo. remember no matter what weapon you use 10pts per hit so use your weakest weapons to rack up points. now grab an mp40 to defend from dogs, after 5000 get knife+juggernog

    • GUMBYKID

      I’m going to round 50 solo, and I will PaP every gun. I will be putting it on youtube.

      • tazzmaniac

        Good luck with that bro! im rootin 4 ya!
