Starting up a match of Nuketown Zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is simple. To play Nuketown's Zombies mode, head to the Zombies map and choose Zombies Onslaught. There you'll be able to select Nuketown '84 as your map option. This game mode can be played with up to one teammate, but is only available on PlayStation. It won't become available on PC until November 2021 because of an exclusivity deal with Sony.

There are three Blueprints to unlock in Nuketown's Zombies Onslaught mode.

  • Hellhawk QBZ-83 Blueprint: Eliminate five Elites in Onslaught matches
  • Primal Hunter Blueprint: Earn Bronze or higher in an Onslaught match
  • Crowstorm Type 63: Blueprint: Earn seven Onslaught Chalices in Onslaught matches
