Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is another game in the long franchise of Call of Duty games, and brings with it a horde of loyal fans. Each of the games has had its own idiosyncrasies, but another trend has arisen within the games itself. That is the addition of zombie mode. First introduced in World at War, the multiplayer survival mode gave players the challenge of surviving waves of increasing numbers of zombies.
The zombie mode have always been popular within their games and even has easter egg achievements. The latest addition to the franchise, Advanced Warfare, is no different. Zombie mode returns along with a hidden achievement named “Exo Zombies”. This mode becomes available when you download the Havoc DLC. Players load into the “Outbreak” map and that’s when the craziness begins.
The achievement requires players to call in a rescue to escape the ravening hordes of zombies. This achievement can be acquired solo or with up to 4 others. To do this, achievement hunters must got through four stages to finally unlock this 50-pointer. Open all the doors as soon as you can to make it slightly easier for yourself,. I would also recommend leaving some crawling zombies alive so that you can work at your pace (make sure you check on them though).
STEP 1. Recover the Black Box from the downed Helicopter, check the wreckage in the Courtyard.
STEP 2. Take the Black Box to the Morgue and place it on the computer in the corner.
STEP 3. Find 4 ID Cards (if solo, you can pick up all 4. If playing as a pair, 2 each. Playing as a 4, One each)
3A: Oz’s card is in the Holding Cells on the west side of the map, have to shoot a broken piston then Exo Slam to access it.
3B: Lilith’s ID Card is inside the 3D Printer, Acquire the EM1 weapon before you blow it up however.
3C: Decker’s ID Card requires a load of ammunition. Head to the Exo Testing Room, or the Admin Block and acquire the trash chute trap, let it suck everything in before you buy it again.(If in co-op, you’ll have to buy both traps at the same time.) Enter the incineration room. Shoot the ground as much as possible, when the card appears, run over to where you saw it and shoot the ground again. Claim your card, exit the room.
3D: Kahn’s ID requires you to be infected. When you’ve reached this stage, got to the admin block once again, and interact with the green keypads. 1. Just above the Executive’s Office, on the east side of the area. 2. Left of a trash chute in a dead end. 3. Between the Decontamination Zone and the Weapon Upgrade station. 4. Near the Exo Medic Upgrade point. (1 person must do all four, four players mean once each.
STEP 4. Return the ID Cards to the morgue computer. You will now need to clear and kill zombies to collect ID Cards. Every player must get to 49 cards collected before accessing the morgue’s computer again. To get to the 50th Clearance level, a fingerprint scanner must be used. Each player must have their own scanner.
Scanner 1: Kahn’s scanner is in the Admin Block, to the left of the door leading to the morgue.
Scanner 2: Lilith’s scanner is in the Morgue, Second floor beyond the Exo Reload upgrade locker.
Scanner 3: Decker’s scanner is in the Exo Testing Room, to the right of the Explosive Drone Station, in a stairwell.
Scanner 4: Oz’s scanner is in the Holding Area to the left of the Exo Health upgrade locker.
STEP 5: Return to Exo Testing Room, and interact with the Exo Suits. Make sure everyone takes part until the computer speaks over the intercom. A helicopter should be heard, head to the courtyard and wait for the notification to pop saying you’ve completed it.
If this was a bit too much of a wall of words, this video should help.
Enjoy your 50 points!
