Mannequins are found within the Иuk3toши Multiplayer map of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Most of the mannequins' have had their outfits changed to fit the theme of the Soviet state.

Zombies[]

Within Alpha Omega, the Mannequins take different role as they are not merely mannequins, but a prototype of an android known as an "A.D.A.M. Unit". There are three Easter Eggs involving the removal of each of the heads of the A.D.A.M. units in the map, doing so by shooting will cause the next round to consist of only A.D.A.M. units that have greater health than standard zombies. Knifing the heads off them all will cause a male A.D.A.M. unit to follow the player in a fashion similar to Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, this unit can be lead to female A.D.A.M. unit in the Generators to garner a reward. The final Easter egg involves meleeing all the heads with the Galvaknuckles equipped, doing so will spawn a A.D.A.M. unit beside the Pack-a-Punch Machine, which will cause a jumpscare if aimed at.

Trivia[]

  • In Nuketown, if all of the Mannequins heads are shot off within the first 15 seconds of the match beginning, the Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil" will play over the loudspeakers.
    • Mannequins can also be found inside of the school bus, however these mannequins do not need to have their heads removed for the song to play.
  • If a mannequin's head is shot off with a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife, or Semtex, the mannequin's head will fly off, however the arrow, knife, or Semtex, will still be where it was inside of the Mannequin's head.
  • In the house similar to the Brady Bunch home, two mannequins can be seen out of the window, and they appear to be holding hands, visible only if in Theater Mode or spectating.
  • The German Sniper's use of Mannequins as decoys in "Vendetta" is a reference to the film Enemy at the Gates.
  • If one of the easter eggs involving the mannequins is activated in NUK3TOWN, when the match ends, all the mannequins will be frozen in the same position and place they were in before it ended.
