Summary
ACall of Duty: Black Ops 4player found themselves in a truly bizarre situation while attempting to play the game’s Zombies mode, being attacked by both zombies and other NPCs. A clip of the incident shows the moments the player was hunted and gunned down by what are supposed to be “friendly” NPCs for seemingly no reason, effectively leaving solo play broken inBlack Ops 4.
Over a decade later,Call of Duty Zombiescontinues to be one of the most popular and celebrated game modes in history. Originally intended as a small Easter egg bonus mode for the end ofCall of Duty: World at Warin 2008,Call of Duty’s Zombies mode transformed and evolved into the deep, complex survival experience players now know and love. Players can continue to get theirZombies fix inModern Warfare 3, which places players in a massive open world to explore. However, one player attempting to relive the glory days ofBlack Ops 4encountered an incredibly strange issue that rendered the game practically unplayable.
Reddit user Me_Llamo_Jeff shared a clip of their attempt to play a match ofBlack Ops 4 Zombies,which was quickly thwarted by NPCs in the game who attacked and downed the player. “When loading up a solo queue of any kind onBlack Ops4 Zombies, bots add themselves into the game and can kill/be killed,” said the player. “This has started becoming a problem as of the 1st of August.“Black Ops 4introduced players to the Chaos storyline, with players taking on the role of one of four unique characters. When players opt to go solo, only one character is selected, allowing bots to take on the other three. However, as soon as the player loaded into the game, they were attacked by the other NPCs.
Black Ops 4 Player Faces Bizarre Zombies Issue
The player tried to play a match of Classified, which isBlack Ops 4’s take on the classicFiveCall of Duty Zombiesmapfrom the originalBlack Ops. Survival is key inCall of Duty Zombies, but players typically only need to worry about the undead as they play. The player claimed that solo is practically broken for them as a result. “It’s literally like a 2v2 no matter how many bots I have. One bot is my ally and the others attack us.”
