Mob of the Dead

Mob of the Dead is the name of a Zombie Mode map appearing in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II Uprising DLC. It is the fifteenth Zombies map overall, occuring within Alcatraz Island. A partition of this map, Cell Block, will be available in Grief.

Features
Mob of the Dead is located on Alcatraz Island during the Prohibition-Era of American history and is the biggest map in Zombies history. The four playable characters are Finn O'Leary, Arthur Arlington, Salvatore DeLuca, and Billy Handsome, all of whom are Gangsters who have been locked up on Alcatraz and were planning an escape on the night of the outbreak. Zombies on the island have red eyes, indicating they most likely are not under Samantha nor Richtofen's control. This map also introduces Guard and Prisoner Zombies on the island.

The map features several additions to the players arsenal. The Uzi and the AK-47 make their debut in Zombies, and M1927 makes its return since its last appearance in Der Riese as the Thompson. The LSAT will also be featured, having only appeared in the zombie variant of Nuketown. There will be at least two new Wonder Weapons will be featured, but the only known one is called the Blundergat, a cross between a Blunderbuss and a Gatling Gun.

Purchasable traps are also returning, last appearing in Ascension. Shown traps include the Fan Trap and the Acid Trap. Also, a new utility called the Gondola will be introduced and act similar to the Zipline. Traps will also be upgradeable.

There is a new boss zombie named Brutus that can disable perk machines and the mystery box, requiring points to reactivate them. He can be killed, but does not appear during his own round. Instead, he appears alongside other zombies, not unlike George A. Romero from Call of the Dead.

Several side quests will be available for the player to complete, with the main one being to construct a plane to escape the island.

Mob of the Dead will also introduce Afterlife Mode, a form of gameplay that the player spawns in and enters upon death. In Afterlife mode, new areas and objectives will become available for the player to complete such as turning on the power  and specifically activating utilities throughout the map. Though, there is a time limit in the afterlife, once the blue meter has depleted, the player will be sent out of the afterlife.

There is a unique Tomahawk like weapon with a red aura. The weapon can pierce through multiple zombies and can reflect back to the player. These Tomahawks also seem to be able to be thrown at power-ups and retrieve them for the player. Also returning from Nuketown Zombies is the Fire Sale power up.

In addition to Alcatraz Island, players will also be able to fight on the Golden Gate Bridge.
