Gameplay
Players can choose to play ranked or non-ranked matches in multiplayer mode. It has
two types of in-game currencies: "Credits", which are earned through playing the
game, and "COD Points", which are bought with real-world money. It is possible to
play the full game without paying, though some exclusive character and weapon skins
can only be bought with COD Points.[1] Apart from standard matchmaking, a private
room for both the multiplayer and battle royale modes can also be accessed where
players can invite and battle with their in-game friends.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer mode is a first-person shooter similar to previous Call of Duty
games. The game also has "Scorestreaks", which are special weapons that are
available as the player reaches certain times and points. Additionally, the game
features special and limited multiplayer modes that last for varying lengths of
time. These include: Prop Hunt,[2] Rapid Fire, Sticks and Stones,[3] 2v2,[4]
Capture the Flag,[5] One Shot One Kill,[6] Snipers Only,[7] and Gun Game,[8] and
Attack of the Undead among others.
Battle Royale
The game also includes battle royale modes featuring up to 100 players. A player
can choose to play alone, on a two-man team, or in a four-man squad. At the start
of a game, all players choose an ability from healing to making a launch pad. Once
all 100 people are ready, they get aboard a plane that flies in a straight line
over the map. This flight path changes every game. Every team is automatically
given a jump leader who decides when and where the team will land.[9] At the
beginning of the game, each player carries only a knife. The map has weapons,
vehicles, and items which players can find and use to improve their chances of
killing enemies while staying alive themselves. The mode has high tier loot zones
(marked in yellow on the map) that provide players with better items. The safe zone
on the map shrinks as the game progresses, with players who remain outside the safe
zone being killed if they stay outside for too long. A player or team wins the game
if they are the last one remaining. Particularly, battle royale also has limited
modes like Sniper Challenge, Battle Royale Alcatraz, Battle Royale Blackout, 20v20
Warfare, and Battle Royale Blitz.
Zombies
A Zombies mode was added in November 2019. It placed teams of players against
zombies that attacked in waves. It was playable in Endless Survival Mode, which ran
like the classic zombies experience, and Raid Mode, which threw a set number of
waves at the players before transitioning to a boss encounter. The players could
choose whether to play it on Normal or Heroic difficulty.[10] The mode was removed
in March 2020 due to it not reaching the desired level of quality.[11][12] Undead
Siege, a zombie survival mode, was added into the game in August 2021. In it a team
of four players have to survive and protect their teleportation device from
continuous waves of zombies. During the day, players have to collect supplies which
would be used during the night to survive against a horde of zombies.[13] In
addition, players during the day also take part on a mission called Daytime Side
Missions, which includes the Butcher, breaking the Aether Crystal Cluster, feeding
10 zombies to cerberus and helping transport a big aether crystal. The mode has 3
difficulties - Casual, Hardcore and Nightmare. In casual, the team has to survive
only for 3 nights while in other difficulties the team has to survive for 5 nights.
