Major [[Mackenzie Carver]] has identified a large Aetherium growth causing a rapid surge of unnatural Aetherium terraforming in the area and tasks players with destroying it. Upon placing explosives on the growth however, players are sucked into the [[Dark Aether]] and placed in a small building on the map, where they must survive a lockdown for three minutes and fifty seconds against the undead while a mysterious voice taunts them. After surviving the lockdown, players will be teleported out of the Dark Aether and watch as the crystal growth is destroyed.

A team sent to deliver Aetherium to Doctor [[Oskar Strauss]] has been eliminated. Players are tasked with reaching a rocket transport system and locating two Aetherium containment units nearby, which Strauss asks to be brought to the rocket within five minutes before the samples within them are lost. Collecting a unit will slow the player's movement and slowly destroy vehicles if the player enters one, though the player will have access to a unique ability that will kill all nearby enemies once the device is charged. Delivering both units to the rocket and loading them into it will launch the rocket to Strauss.

Grey has deployed a Requiem recon rover in the area to scan for stable rifts into the Dark Aether and deliver the rover's contents to the dimension. Players must deploy the rover from its transport unit and escort it through the map while it performs its tasks, all while defending it from the undead. After a couple of failed searches, the rover will come across a large portal guarded by a [[Russian Mangler Soldier|Mangler]] and a small zombies horde. Once the rover reaches the rift, it will force itself into it, sending itself and its cargo into the Dark Aether for experimentation.

Carver tasks players to remotely activate Requiem's orbital Dimensional Disruptor, which will forcefully bring out a Dark Aether HVT into reality. Players are tasked with killing the HVT, which will take on the form of an Elite or Special enemy with higher health and a unique name. While weakening the HVT to two-thirds of its health, it will warp itself to another location nearby, forcing players to give chase. After depleting another third of its health, the HVT will warp away one last time. Upon killing the HVT, the objective will be completed.

A mysterious rocket containing the head of a [[Dragon (Zombies)|Dragon]] is being prepped, requiring a large quantity of Aetherium to launch. For 500 Essence, interacting with the rocket will cause the Dragon to emerge from its nook in the rocket, followed by a ring similar to the [[Ring of Fire]] field upgrade to manifest below it. Players must now kill enemies within the ring to allow the Dragon to harvest the undead and absorb the Aetherium contained within them. After a certain amount of time, the Dragon will return to its nook and the rocket will blast off into a portal, leaving behind a crate for the players to open if they've completed the objective; depending on how many zombies were absorbed in the timeframe will depend on the quality of the chest's contents.

— Mission Briefing

Outbreak is a large-scale Zombies experience featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that was released as part of the Season Two of content for the game. Taking place on the Fireteam maps set in the Ural Mountains, Outbreak features new enemies with rewards and intel for completing objectives.

Overview

At the start of Outbreak, players will spawn in one of the maps, also called "Region", available and will be tasked to complete a primary objective. Unlike traditional round-based Zombies experiences, there is an unlimited number of zombie roaming the maps. There is also no limit of time to start the primary objective.

After an objective is completed, an anomaly triggering a beacon will appear somewhere on the map. Once the beacon is activated the Pack-a-Punch Machine, Der Wunderfizz, the Arsenal and crafting table will spawn. The utilities are also available around the map. At the beacon, players will have two choices: either exfiltrating to safety or warping to the next region where the difficulty is increased.

Players can also complete up to four secondary objective availables in each region. While exploring the map, players can encounter small, medium or large chests which offer loot such as weapons, equipments, Power-Ups, Body Armor or Armor Plates, or Perks. Mimics can also hide as chests. Outbreak introduces two new enemies, Krasny Soldats and Tempests. A Demented Echo, first seen in Die Maschine, can also be found in specific locations in a region, the Echo starts to appear in the second region.

There are five primary objectives available in Outbreak.

Carver tasks players to remotely activate Requiem's orbital Dimensional Disruptor, which will forcefully bring out a Dark Aether HVT into reality. Players are tasked with killing the HVT, which will take on the form of an Elite or Special enemy with higher health and a unique name. While weakening the HVT to two-thirds of its health, it will warp itself to another location nearby, forcing players to give chase. After depleting another third of its health, the HVT will warp away one last time. Upon killing the HVT, the objective will be completed.

Optional Objectives

In addition to the primary objectives, there are four optional objectives for the player to do to help build up supplies. These objectives, with the exception of "Aethereal Orb", can be located on the overhead map by the use of unique symbols.

A mysterious rocket containing the head of a Dragon is being prepped, requiring a large quantity of Aetherium to launch. For 500 Essence, interacting with the rocket will cause the Dragon to emerge from its nook in the rocket, followed by a ring similar to the Ring of Fire field upgrade to manifest below it.

Golden Chest

A Dark Aether portal forms in the sky and deposits a golden chest on the ground, seeking to test the worth of the players who seek to obtain its contents. Interacting with the chest will summon a horde of enemies for the player to kill. After killing the enemies, the chest can be opened, which will dump out items on the ground and leave a Full Power power-up in the chest for the players to pick up. This objective is marked by a icon depicting the spire that delivers the golden chest to the map.

Aethereal Orb

A faint Dark Aether orb can sometimes be found randomly in a map, and can be identified by the sound of children's laughter when approached. Shooting the orb will cause vials of Essence to drop from it before it will relocate to another part of the map. This process can be repeated two more times; the last attempt will cause the orb to explode, rewarding the player with various amounts of Scorestreaks, Salvage and Essence. When seen on the minimap when close by, this objective is marked by an icon depicting the orb itself.
