CODPOD NEWS ROUNDUP

Citadelle:

• Based on the legends of king Arthur and leans heavily into the “magic” part of zombies
• Big like Terminus, but more compact with tighter corridors
• Two named locations in the Village are “the Tavern” and “the Stables”
• Four elemental melee wonder weapons, which replace your dedicated melee slot

Jingle Hells:

• Takes place on Liberty Falls
• Reskins Liberty Falls with snow, frozen rivers, etc
• Enemies have new names and new skins
• Arsenal Machine is gone
• Snowballs return, which can be used to freeze and kill zombies.
• Snowballed zombies drop presents
• There are special rounds where you slow down and freeze, so you have to seek shelter
• New “seasonal intro”
• “Naughty Or Nice” powerup seems to be returning, which in CW either gave you 30 seconds of plaguehounds or a present
• Main Quest will be active

General:

• Tesla Storm from CW/MWZ returns
• New ammo mod is called “Light Rend”, which spawns healing orbs. The orbs do not heal you until you are low on health, so you can stockpile them. An augment for them makes zombies take damage when they run through the orbs.
• Vulture Aid from BO2 returns, which allows for zombies to drop ammo and extra salvage. It also has a new machine design: a massive vulture that bites zombies.
• Power Keg Gobblegum returns, which drops a “full power” powerup
• The new “Timestop” gobblegum freezes the round
• The new “Holiday Cheer” whimsical gobblegum makes zombies spawn with festive wreaths. It’s implied that you can only get it during s1.5
• Mangler spawn rate cut in half in the upper rounds. Their active spawning is also capped at round 100, and they are easier to kill (mangler cannon is destroyed quicker)
• Special rounds will be much shorter

There’s a gameplay trailer for Citadelle des Morts coming tomorrow, so keep you eyes peeled!
