COD Cold War Zombies How to Turn the Power On (Firebase Z)

Players will have to explore the full extent of the new zombie map to turn the power on. Here’s where they need to go in Cold War Zombies Firebase Z.

Call of Duty should highly consider investing all of their time and money into making a stand-alone zombie survival game. Warzone revitalized the series in Modern Warfare, and let’s face it, most people are buying the Treyarch games for new zombie modes. Why not combine the two? It worked wonders during the Haunting of Verdansk! Either way, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War has just dropped its latest installment in the zombie story-arch— Firebase Z.

Set deep in the jungles of Vietnam, plagued by the rotten corpses of those lost during the ’60s and ’70s, Firebase Z will have players warping between a small town and a massive military research facility. Firebase Z sees the Tombstone perk’s return, which allows players to recover their inventory upon death. We’ve been graced with a brand new Wonder Weapon in the Rai-K 84, as well as plenty of new high-powered undead to slaughter. But first things first, players must get those lights on. Here’s how to turn the power on in COD Black ops: Cold War Zombies – Firebase Z.

COD Cold War Zombies – How To Turn The Power On (Firebase Z)

Firebase Z will require a more coordinated effort than Die Machine. Players will still have to open plenty of doors, so make sure there’s plenty of cash on hand. However, the power cannot be turned on in one fell swoop and requires one or two full rounds to complete. Here is the complete step-by-step guide:

Talk to Ravenov and Head Through the Teleporter

Ravenov is Requium’s contact on Firebase Z. He’s safely stationed behind what we’re assuming to be zombie-proof glass as he nurses an injured arm. Hopefully, he hasn’t been infected. He’ll instruct players to head through the teleporter to reach Firebase Z.

This teleporter is, conveniently, out of reach. After one or two rounds, players should have enough money to purchase the barred door in the middle of this area. It’s denoted by a blue arrow, similar to the ones leading to pack-a-punch on Die Machine. Head through the door, up the stairs, and across the rooftops to find and enter the teleporter.

Defend the Reactors

Players are now in Firebase Z and will have three more tasks to complete. From the teleporter, where the crashed helicopter lies in plain sight, players can head left, middle, or right. To maximize productivity, players should head to the right. In this section of the map, they’ll find Juggernaug and a piece to the new wonder weapon, the Rai-K 84, in the Weapons Room.

No matter which direction they go, players will have to purchase two sets of doors for 1oo0 and 1500 points and activate the reactor for an additional 500 points. Once activated, the team will have to defend the three nodes from attacking zombies while they charge up. These nodes only charge from the essence of dead zombies. Players can’t leave a zombie alive at the end of a round and turn on all these power sources.

Defending the nodes, especially from rounds 5-8, is relatively easy. Zombies will ignore players (for the most part) and head straight for the nodes. It’ll take a lot of damage for these nods to break, so players shouldn’t panic too much when a group of zombies crowds one. Players will be able to track their progress via two bars appearing under their mini-maps. One for ‘Charge’ and one for Damage.’

It is crucial to know that these power reactors can only be done one at a time. Players can NOT split off in teams and kill two birds with one stone. Once the reactors are fully charged, they’ll release a blue pulse-wave that will kill any nearby zombies.

Head back to Ravenov

Now that all the reactors have been activated, it’s time for players to head back to spawn and speak with Ravenov once again. The Pack-a-Punch Machine will be located right next to his zombie-proof window and is fully operational. Players will be able to upgrade their weapons as they usually would on Die Machine with all the available ammo mods. Left of the Pack-a-Punch Machine is the Mess Hall, which will come into play when players attempt to construct the new Wonder Weapon. They’ll also find an upgrade mannequin in the next room over, along with a crafting table and Die Wonderfizz.

Now What?

From what we can tell, there is no Dark Aether portal in Firebase Z. Now that players have turned the power on and Pack-a-Punched their weapons, their main objective becomes survival. There aren’t many good locations to run trains in Firebase Z. Most of the map is made up of buildings, hallways, and choke points. One player can easily kite zombies around the crashed helicopter. However, this leaves everyone else to fend for themselves in un-ideal locations. Firebase Z has a more formidable degree of difficulty compared to Die Machine. Although there are no Megaton Zombies, the Mimics and Manglers will prove to be formidable foes.

Players can attempt to construct the new Wonder Weapon, the Rai-K 84. If they went right at the beginning of the game, they’ll already have the first component. This weapon is much harder to obtain than the D.I.E Shockwave in Die Machine and will require patience and memorization.

Players will be leaping out of their gaming chairs when the Mimics pop up as well. Developers have done a great job of hiding them in gear and weapons around the map. Players that stumble across an Epic weapon just laying on the ground should not be fooled. It’s far too good to be true. They’ll think they see the Mimics coming, but in the heat of battle, that Semtex grenade gets picked up habitually. Boom— Mimic.

Developers put a lot of effort into Firebase Z. The map is considerably larger than Die Machine and has plenty more to offer. It’s only a matter of time before all of its easter eggs are cracked open. Players should continue to keep up with their favorite easter egg hunters for the fastest information on Call of Duty Cold War Zombies.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Last-Gen
