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, is available in Grief mode.

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 Michael Madsen as Finn O'Leary, Joe Pantoliano as Arthur Arlington, Chazz Palminteri as Salvatore DeLuca, and Ray Liotta as 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.

Weapons
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 only noticeable difference is that the Thompson is equipped with a drum mag, making it similar to the PPSH-41. The LSAT is also featured, having only appeared in the zombie variant of Nuketown. Also returning from Nuketown Zombies is the Fire Sale power up. There are two new Wonder Weapons will be featured, the Blundergat, a cross between a Blunderbuss and a Gatling Gun and the Death Machine is featured as a "real" weapon. There is a unique Tomahawk like weapon called Hell's Retriever, 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.

Traps and Utilities
Purchasable traps also returns, 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 in Shi No Numa. Traps will also be upgradeable.

New Boss
There is a new boss zombie entitled Brutus that can disable perk machines and the mystery box, alongside the workbenches used to craft buildable items; making it so you need to spend roughly 2000 points to reactivate them. He can be killed, but does not appear during his own round. Instead, he appears alongside other zombies, similarly to George A. Romero from Call of the Dead. Upon death he will drop a power-up. Additionally, Brutus will spawn inside the map if the player(s) spend too much money investing in the mystery box. He will also appear randomly throughout various hordes.

Afterlife Mode
Mob of the Dead also introduces the new Afterlife Mode, a form of gameplay that the player spawns in and enters upon death. In the Afterlife mode, new areas and objectives will become available for the player to complete such as turning on the power  and specifically activating utilities such as cell doors with power ups in them and the Perk Machines 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.

Several side quests are also available for the player to complete, with the main one being to construct a plane to escape the island

"Escaping" Alcatraz
After building "Icarus", players are able to fly to the Golden Gate Bridge, where Pack-a-Punch is located. They are able to return to Alcatraz by using the Electric Chairs.
