In a neat twist, you’ll also have to fight off special rounds of tigers instead of wolves. IX also features a few minor bosses: Marauders, Gladiators, and the Blight Father. IX is the most open and straightforward Black Ops 4 Zombies map at launch, offering ample space for dodging packs of rotting enemies. After a few rounds you should be able to unlock two of the four gates surrounding the arena, which will open up pathways both above and below the map. You start in the middle of the map, which is the main gladiator ring. This map stands out as it’s set in broad daylight, but after you unlock more of the map you’ll discover a dark temple and a network of tunnels underground.
Set in Roman times, IX features a new team of heroes – the Chaos crew – travelling back in time and emerging in a coliseum where they are pitted against zombies.
