Dead Ops Arcade 4 is available to play in both Solo or in a team of up to four players. It has over 20 unique arenas and over 10 Bonus Rooms to encounter, as well as 80 levels that need to be completed in order to reach the confrontation with Papaback. There are also four different modes that Dead Ops Arcade 4 can be played in, including:
Casual: A more forgiving DOA experience with Round-Based Zombies elements.
Standard: Regular difficulty level with Round-Based Zombies elements.
Hardcore (Post-Launch): Classic DOA gameplay, as the Papaback has taken away the players' GobbleGums, the SlayerMart, and a few other features.
Standard Advanced Start (Post-Launch): It begins the next Standard Solo game at the highest round the player had previously achieved. Stats, challenges, and leaderboards are not available.
GobbleGums[]
In Dead Ops Arcade 4, all GobbleGums available in the Zombies are available for use, however almost all of them, their functionalities are completely different and designated in mind for the mode.
