Call of Duty: Black Ops The Five Map Guide

“The Five” map is a bit complex compared to Kino Der Toten. You will be running across three floors, the top floor, ground floor and the basement – bottom floor.

How to Turn on the Power
As we have discussed previously in our Kino Der Toten Strategy Guide, you need to turn on the power to be able to use Perk Machine, Teleporter, Mystery Box, Traps and specific to this map “The Def Con”.

Power switch in “Five” map is located in the basement. Make your way to the elevator on first floor and then to the elevator in ground floor. You will need to spend like 1750 to clear the blockade, and 250 to use elevator on the first floor and then 2000 to clear the debris in war room and 250 to use elevator, and finally reach basement.

You will have enough points going into round five to activate the power switch. ‘Read our General Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie Guide for tips’.

Once the power has been activated, you can use perk machines, traps, teleporters, and activate Def Con level in the war room on ground floor.

Teleporters
Now that you have activated the power switch, you can use teleporters covering each corner of the map to move back and forth. Though, be warned! Zombies can follow you through the teleporters. You can’t just spam elevators – teleporters, and only use them after a brief cool down period. So, make sure you use them when there aren’t many zombies following you, or you will end up dead meat.

Teleporter in the basement ‘four corner one’ teleports you to another teleporter pad on the same level. If you use the middle teleporter in the basement, it will teleport you to either ground floor or top floor.

How to Unlock Pack a Punch Machine
Now in order to unlock Pack a Punch machine, you need to get the Def Con level to 5. Activate all the switches in the ground floor war room to get to Def Con level 5 and make your way to the top floor where Pack a Punch machine is. Once you have activated all the switches, all teleporters will lead to Pack a Punch machine ‘Top Floor’.

You can either go right way or hit Def Con 5, and keep the portal open as a means of escape. Alternatively, you have around 1min before the countdown automatically gets Def Con level to 1. Area will now open up with blood thirsty zombies coming your way.

The Pentagon Thief
This guy steals your weapons, and randomly appears in one or two rounds – very annoying. It gets difficult in the later stages, so your best shot is getting this guy in early phase of the game. You would need to accumulate lot of points so that you can open the area and activate the tech round.

Anyway, what you need to kill this guy; good aim, fully loaded weapons, grenades or claymores.

Note. More Damage, more slower he gets.

You can set up claymores, and get your team lined up and shooting him. Don’t give up till you are last standing, he may grab weapons of few of your team mates, and try to get yours.

You need to be patient, when he comes for you and if you are out of bullets, switch to the secondary weapon, preferably an assault weapon. (MPL + M16). You can switch to your secondary weapon as a last resort so that he steals your secondary weapon, not primary.

rich321g street

ive got to round 18 by staying on the first floor but buying the elevator what i did was stay in the hallway were the elevator was and shoot but when they started to over throw me i went down the elevator and bought all the way to the second elevator and all my other players were still on the second floor and it really helped me alot and made it so there werent so many zombies on my floor you are good down there intil you turn on the power and the zombies will teleport through the defcon portals so dont turn on the power and stay on a floor bye your self and you wont get over welmed by the zombies it works i did it
Wraith in flesh

Add me if u want. i know nothing of five but on kino der toten i can reach round 100+ with me and 1 other player when time allows it. now before u call bullshit i need to tell u i use the grouping method. very time consuming but effective. I can usually get 40+ on solo. Im not the best but i think im pretty good. oh and i have a habit of playing the secret song everytime. GT is Wraith in Flesh.

Me and one friend got to round 24. From round 8-about 15 were in the first elevator and blasting them in alternating firing. by round 15 we had defeated the thief with my winters fury(winters howl upgraded).
After that we stuck in the defcon room and when there was only the trailing zombies left, activated the defcons to defcon 4 leaving the last switch nearest the teleporter. when the next round started we activated the final switch and went to the panic room and just desamated with my winters fury and his lamentation(upgraded galil).

it works only whaen knives are pack-a-punched

Stradegies and laps are shit, whhy waste time getting to a high level, then bragging ot your friends how you wasted 3 hours of your life running around a circle,
killing is the only way to go, not running laps

Nice guide, here is the strategy I use on five for solo:

“FIVE”

Solo – Five is one of my favourite maps to play solo on blackops zombies so here is my favourite strategy for playing solo. At the begging of the first round buy quick revive, using only your knife in round 1. Round 2 use only your knife again, and try not to let the zombies in. At the end of round 2 try to keep one slow zombie to give you chance to board up broken windows before round 3 – you’ll need it! Round 3 put 5 rounds into their chest and 2 in the head then knife, stick to the windows with the shortests routes where the zombies come from at the beggining to get as many quick kills as possible before becoming overwhelmed. Becoming overwhelmed in round 3 is pretty normal, dont panic just throw a couple of frags to thin those zombies out! Round 4 open the door and buy the MPL, head down the hallway and smash the windows a couple times just to get a couple of boards up – you will end up shooting out the windows by accident allowing zombies in quicker, so a couple of boards will keep those zombies out that bit longer. Open the lift also in round 4 so you always have a plan b should you get overrun. When you feel you can no longer hold down the hallway and two windows, which should be round 5 or 6 for the average player – then take the lift down and clear all of the debris (near the stairs, underneath the stairs and at the oppsite side to the lift on the ground floor) so that you have a clear run around of the outside of the ground level. DO NOT attempt to begin running a train around here unless you have turn on the power, turning on the power opens up the teleporter in the center of the room allowing the zombies to run through the centre instead of turn around and block you underneath the stairs. Now the tactic is pretty simple, run around the defcon room (the 2nd floor) clockwise, when zombies stop coming in through the windows run around to the opposite end to where the lift is where you cleared the debris from and turn around and fire away – the zombies will line up single file making them easy pickings for headshots. Never stay still for more than 2-3 seconds though as when you kill a zombie and new one will come in through the windows which leaves your back open. Make sure that the first thing that you buy when you begin to run the train around the defcon room is juggernog as you WILL get hit 2 or 3 times each level! This is probably the most important part of running the train in here.

This is just one of my map strategys, you can find a guide to each and every zombie map right here:

It’s hard to find people to play with that know what they’re doing, that don’t die as much, that actually listen to you, and that don’t steal your windows (which is my biggest pet peeve..) — that being said, I need to play with players that aren’t these things. I’m a nice person and fast on my feet, and I seemingly always risk my life to help and revive others. I’m always told that I’m very helpful and a ‘good’ player (which I don’t think I am). I’ve made it to level 14 on “Five” and 32 on “Kino Der Toten”. My preferred weapons/arsenal is the Ray Gun, upgraded M1911 (starting pistol), and Cymbal Monkeys. I have a mic and play on PSN (PS3 Network). And my user name is, “Honey_Cliff”. If you want to play, add me and we’ll see how far we go!

Round 39
L BLUNT

I got to round 64 on five, all you need is four people and all you need to do is;
Round 1-5 hold your own dont buy any doors
Round 5-15 buy doors until you reach m16
Round 15-20 Fight until you get to the last zombie keep him alive and buy ALL doors then find the ray gun and have partners freeze and frag the son of bitchs!!!!!

jack_bradderz

I usually form a rape train on five ad me on psn jack_bradderz
- anonymouschick
  
  if u sit in the corner, in the room leading to the alley on kino, with a gun with very high ammunition and just aim at the heads you can form very nice rape trains and the zombies all come in from one direction, plus it’s nice if u have the speed cola.

johnnnny, if you don’t like this strategy, post a better one, please! I follow the same thing after much experimentation. I like to go to the War room about round 5, grab the Stakeout, clear barricades and run laps for a few rounds. after I get enough points to get to the lab, I turn the power on, transport back up to the War Room, hit the Def Cons and pack ap punch the Stakeout (now the Raid!). When the Thief shows up, I don’t chase him. I wait at a different transporter and blast him when he appears. About 4 shots from the Raid puts him down. I use a lot of grenades. I am sure to replenish from down in the lab when there are only a couple of crawlers left. BTW, this is all on solo play. I’ve made it to round 20.
johnnnny

This strategy is so amateurish.
Saman

hey everybody,
i have some tips for u cause i’ve been playing the map 5 for a long time
1)first round: melee them all, they are weak and they will die by one hit of knife
2)when u start buy the ‘quick revive’ soda, so that u can be sure u will become alive again.
3)when u reach level five, don’t stay there, cause they will be too many of them and u cant control them, open the door and run toward the elevator, then throw grenades, it helps a lot
4)dont buy every weapon u see, saving points is important
5)when u finished level 5, go down quickly (with elevator) then again there is an elevator, go down to lab and turn on the power (power is located in one of the rooms. once u get out of elevator, first room u see)
6)DO NOT stay in lab, cause monkey come toward to u
7)there is a shotgun near the elevator which goes down to lab. buy that and u are saved up to level 15.
7)pentagon thief usually comes at level 8-9 or 10, he takes the weapon that you have it in hand(i mean u are using it), dont give him your shotgun, cause with shotgun it is easy to kill him. once u killed him go to fire sale,(if i said it correctly) , and dont buy the weapons that are not useful, once it gave me a pistol but i didnt but it, but once it gave me a sexy sub-machine gun.
8)DO NOT active the defcons before you have a good weapon
9)buy every soda, then active the defcons
10)always try to stay in the first level( lobby i guess) casue its easy to kill them
11)if you see that u cant control them, go to elevator and go down, but dont go to lab PLZ
12)once u reached level 20, pray for merci from god because………well lets say that they dont die even u shoot them in the head

GOOD LUCK
ON_Naruto

Well i always do like this:

rounds 1-9: Stay in main lobby, with the elevator opened just in case, were i get +/- 12000 points
round 10:kill every zombies except one, in this round i turn on the light, put the DefCon in level 5 and upgrade the primary pistol to Sally and Mustang and the Ak74-u (can’t remeber the upgraded name).
rounds 11- 15: I run in circles to attract the zombies, then o turn around and star to clean, the Thunder Gun is lot of usefull here, ’cause there are a lot of zombies. If you don’t have Thunder Gun,use the Sally and Mustang it’s godlike here, in a couple of shots you kill the zombies. At the end of round 15 i left one zombie alive and i will try to catch the Thunder Gun and the Ray Gun/Winter’s Howl
rounds 16-20: With new weapons (Thunder Gun and Ray Gun/Winter’s Howl) you can kill a lot of zombies, and if you are in a trouble, Thunder Gun (or Zeus Cannon) will help you.

Sorry guys i can’t help more, cause my record is 20 rounds, i always die because i don’t have any support to help me…

SuperLebron

I’m a beast at kino, but “five” is too confusing even though I know where everything is at. If you have a ps3 add me = SuperLebron no space and I think the *L* is capitalized or not. Also if you just have winter’s howl you can go beast mode on “five” and go really or is that just me O.o and why don’t they let you go outside the building on kino and the whitehouse, like in the street and other buildings, that’s retarded.

I got to level 40 on Kino solo but my friends always wanted to camp in the room upstairs by the alley…we could never make it past 27 as a team. I’m just trying to do Five now but it’s alot more complex than Kino…
chance butler

why is it so hard on the basement part!!! well it is to me. all the zombie docters. its sooooo irritating. write back if u guys can top these stratagies.
Andrew

You guys have a very good strategy but i would suggest staying in the start lobby till round 5 then open the door and elevator and buy an MPL. Camp here till about round 8-9 then head down and clear the barricade and elevator and go down and hit the power. then get a good gun out of the mystery box. When you have done this go to the middel floor (War Room) and pull every DEFCON at the start of every round and go to the pack-a-punch machine room and spray all the zombies that gather at the door then run out and clear the barricades under the stairs and at the other side and run laps and repeaat after the start of every round.

If it is the thief then go to the catwalk of the middel floor (War Room) and run around it and let your teammates blast him and then you should hopefully kill him. Just repeat this strategy and you will get to very high rounds

Thanks, Andy
zombiepwner123

hey i have a much better strategy. stay in the first room till round 4, open the doors to the elepator and buy the mpl. camp in the elevator till round 7 then head to the power. get a good gun from the box and upgrade. start every round by going to the pack a punch then lobb grenades when the door opens run around the bottom part off the war room and wala ur at a high round.

The map “Five” is a small confined map but with a lot of floors. Navigating the map for beginners is quite confusing until you learn the map. I love Kino because of the space, also being quite easy to navigate and to move. Anyone with Playstation feel free to add me my ID is hrvatski_sniper or CrAzY-NoScOpEzx
