Exfiling in Cold War Zombies: A Comprehensive Guide
The Cold War Zombies game mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops III introduces a new level of strategic teamwork and coordination. Players are tasked with completing a set of objectives while battling against hordes of zombies and enemy players. Exfil, or extraction, is a crucial part of this mode, as it allows teams to escape and avoid elimination. In this article, we will discuss how to exfil successfully in Cold War Zombies.
What is Exfil in Cold War Zombies?
Before we dive into the how-to, let’s briefly explain what exfil means in Cold War Zombies. Exfil is a procedure where a team captures and deploys a U̳F̳L (Utility Flail), a device that provides a safe and quick extraction to a designated location on the map. The exfil can only be initiated from certain points on the map, and it requires careful coordination between team members.
Understanding the Exfil Process
The exfil process consists of several crucial steps:
- Spawns and U̳F̳L Deploy: Team members must make sure they have the right loadout and equipment, such as the U̳F̳L. Players can spawn into the map with the necessary items by using the game’s pre-made loadout presets.
- Defeating the U̳F̳L Required enemies: Defeating the required enemies within a set time frame (see table 1 below) ensures the U̳F̳L is successfully deployed and ready for extraction.
- Capturing and Activating the U̳F̳L: Team members must **capture and activate** the U̳F̳L within the designated area.
| Required Enemies | Time Limit |
|---|---|
| 50/75/100 Enemies | 3/2.5/2.25 Minutes |
Effective Communication
Communication is the backbone of a successful exfil in Cold War Zombies. Players must coordinate their movements and actions to:
- Designate Extraction Spots: Team leaders must assign specific extraction points and provide directions to their team members.
- Watch the U̳F̳L: One or two players should maintain **constant surveillance** over the U̳F̳L’s health and status to alert the team when it’s ready for extraction.
- Provide Cover and Clearance: Team members can act as **pew pew**- operators, providing cover and taking out enemies to allow other team members to activate and use the U̳F̳L safely.
Tips for Exfil Success
• Play to Your Role: Understand your team’s needs and play to your strength. If you’re good at taking out tough enemies, focus on supporting the team with pew-pew skills.
• Positioning is Key: Take advantage of the environment by using cover and finding positions that provide a strategic vantage point for defeating the required enemies.
• Don’t Forget About Friendly Fire: Keep in mind that friendly fire is **enabled, and ensure you’re clear of fire when attempting to exfil.
• Prioritize Teamwork Over Kill Counts**: In a multiplayer environment, teamwork should be your top priority over kill counts. Focus on assisting your teammates and staying alert to ensure a smooth exfil.
Preventing Wipeouts During Exfil
Wipeouts, or complete eliminations, can be a massive setback for teams during an exfil. To avoid wipeouts, focus on:
- Defending the Exfil Zone: Ensure your team is aware of any encroaching enemies and can quickly respond to wipe them out.
- Cleansing the Nearby Areas: Clear nearby rooms, corridors, and sections of enemies to prevent re- spawning and minimize opportunities for surprise attacks.
- Providing Cover with Perks: Choose **perks**, like Smoke Screen or V.O.M. ( Vehicle Obliteration Munition) 8-Ball Recon), to help protect the extraction point and prevent unnecessary engagement.
Conclusion
In Cold War Zombies, a well-coordinated and skilled team can successfully execute exfils and leave enemy hordes in their dust. By understanding the exfil process, fostering effective communication, and heeding tips for exfil success, you’ll increase your chances of making a **clean getaway** and securing victory.
