The Zombies crew arrives at Richtofen's Liberty Falls mansion to find it overrun with the undead.

Treyarch says the main story quest will go live at launch. Completing the main quest will award the "PhDeadly" operator skin for Carver, an animated Calling Card, and 5,000 XP. Just like past maps, players who complete the main quest before Directed Mode arrives for Shattered Veil will also earn a unique calling card variant.

This map introduces two new enemy types. There's an enemy called the Elder Disciple, which seems to be a variant of the Disciple enemies from past Zombies games, and a new toxic zombie variant that can explode and release acid.

Two Wonder Weapons

Shattered Veil will feature two iconic Wonder Weapons: The Wunderwaffe DG-2 and the Ray Gun Mark II.

Treyarch teases a redacted step that players can take to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II to one of three different variants:

Ray Gun Mark II-W: Offering similar bullet patterns to a submachine gun, this also has a random chance to ignite enemies
Ray Gun Mark II-P: Shooting ammunition like a shotgun, with a chance to spawn a sigil with the ability to grant invulnerability to the player standing on it for a limited time
Ray Gun Mark II-R: Dropping zombies with a Marksman Rifle-like discharge, expect a chance to spread a plague infection that can inflict area-of-effect damage

New perk and augments

The Shattered Veil map adds the iconic Double Tap perk to BO6 Zombies. This perk will include six new augments to unlock for upgrading.

Additionally, Double Tap will be available to use on The Tomb, Citadelle des Morts, Liberty Falls and Terminus maps via the Der Wunderfizz machine.
