The early patch notes for BO6 Zombies Season 4 have unveiled thrilling new content for players, including the highly anticipated return of the Grief mode. This unique mode promises a fresh twist on the playstyle we’ve seen in previous seasons, blending both PvE and PvP elements as players engage in strategic, indirect combat. In this guide, we will break down everything you need to know to master Grief in Season 4.
1. How Will Grief Mode Work in BO6 Zombies?
Grief mode is designed as a competitive 4v4 experience where the goal is to outlast your opponents. Available on all five Zombies maps, players won’t directly fight each other; instead, they must strategically capture zones to gain the upper hand. Teams will represent Director Richtofen and S.A.M., each dropped into opposite sides of an arena, where the focus is on maneuvering and outsmarting the opposition.
2. Understanding the Grief Arena in Season 4
The Grief Arena is set to be chaotic, teeming with the undead. Players will navigate an open environment, with marked doors for access. Team members can revive fallen allies, though there are tactics to delay these revivals. Eliminated players will return automatically at the start of the third round, adding an intense layer to the combat.
Combat will unfold across multiple rounds, allowing new players to join before Round 10. Familiar elements from standard Zombies modes will still be present, including Essence and Salvage, though the latter is exclusive to the first team to claim it.
3. What Happens When You Capture a Zone?
Capturing a zone earns your team various debuffs to hinder your enemies, but be wary—zombies and opposing players will try to thwart your efforts. This makes strategic zone control critical for victory. Additionally, once a Capture Zone is active, you’ll need to stand on it to occupy it and inflict grief on your opponents.
4. What Types of Grief Can Players Inflict?
Capturing a zone enables your team to apply specific debuffs, known as griefs, to rivals:
- Weapon Nerf: Reduces enemies’ damage to zombies.
- Ammo Drain: Consistently depletes ammo from rival weapons.
- Zombie Ambush: Summons an elite zombie focused on attacking the opposing team.
- Weapon Carousel: Randomly swaps weapons among opponents.
- Frozen: Slows down opposing players, applying frost effects.
