Armored Zombies are an enemy introduced in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies map Firebase Z and also featured in Outbreak.
They are very similar to Heavy Zombies but sport less armor, making them easier to kill. Armored Zombies, like Heavy Zombies, are aligned with the Soviet Union, indicated by the red star on their helmets. Given their attire, they were likely Omega Group soldiers stationed at the base when it fell, becoming zombies. Armored Zombies begin spawning in as early as round 10 and continue to do so for the duration of the game. They also spawn in intermittently during assault rounds.
