Outbreak Event in CoD Warzone and Black Ops Cold War: Dates and Rewards

The Outbreak Event will remain available between February 25 and March 11. This special promotion brings together the two current Call of Duty universes in the same space. With the arrival of Outbreak mode to Cold War (Outbreak in Spanish), the space coincides with the appearance of the Zombies in Verdansk, the battle royale map.

The rewards are tied to the fulfillment of the challenges in both game modes. You don’t have to have both games. If you only have Warzone, for example, by completing the 9 missions you will receive a special reward linked to it; the same goes for those who only play Black Ops Cold War.

In Warzone you will find the Zombies on the Vodianoy freighter, the ship stranded between the port and the prison. Inside you can start a purge event that will spawn hordes of the undead. On the other hand, in Black Ops Cold War you just have to go to the Zombies menu and select Outbreak.
