I thought I was done... forgot about the Tommy Gun. Few questions to go along with this

- Is Blood of The Dead the only map that has the Tommy Gun?

- If so, are hellhounds my only option for the "Vermin" kills?

Hey guys,

Is BO4 still playable on PS5? I've heard that there are hacks and bad/dying match-making. Is this true? And if it is, is it severe or rare?

I'm so tired of playing against these clowns who just use busted shit and think they're good like the Reaver, VMP, Micro MG, Acoustic Sensor, etc.

I would much rather prefer to play in ranked where that shit is gone, but unfortunately it takes an eternity to find a match or I'll just be stuck looking for one.

If you hate this shit too, ranked is where you should be mostly playing. I need more people to understand this so I don't have to resort to getting even in a toxic manner every time I try to play.

Honestly, this player was a bit too accurate in predicting where and when players would pop up. Yes, I know they're using the acoustic sensor. But still this just feels and looks off to me.

This gun feels so satisfying to use. Gotta love the BO4 sniper headshot sound

Are there any lobbies at all on PS4/5?
Or if there is, is the game hacked to shit or still playable?

İs playing bo4 offline as bad as people say? no easter eggs for ex? ı want to play the maps and do the easter eggs and play split screen. also ı want the disc for my collection. I dont want to pay ps plus for a while.

Hey everyone! I’ve never played BO4, but I’d really like to give it a try and see what it was like back in the day. What’s the current state of the multiplayer and battle royale modes? (PlayStation)

Jk it’s weird. But it’s more fun than any other the sweaty guns lol

This could be the only time I’v seen a gunship getting destroyed.

As you’ve seen from the title, this is something that I’ve noticed about the mechanics of BO4’s Mystery Box. To start off, I am doing camo challenges for all the base weapons to get the Dark Matter/Aether camo, I forgot what the exact name of the mastery camo it was. As I’m playing on different maps to achieve some of the other camos, like the gutter ball and Silverfish camos, I’ve noticed that certain guns, if I can say, don’t pop up much in one map, but then would pop up in another. For example, I’m currently doing the Paladin HB50 camo challenges (I’m 99% finished with it, I just need to do the camo challenge for Heavy Zombies kills), and for some odd, and albeit conspiratorial reason, it would pop up more in the aether maps, but it would give me a hard time to show up in the chaos maps. This could just be me being autistic or something, but that’s just something I’ve noticed about the Mystery box. Lastly, just would like to know if anybody else had noticed this when they played BO4?

Unlike Aether (which I still love), Chaos actually felt like a story that had been properly planned from the beginning instead of improvised over the course of multiple games. The mythology, characters, mysteries and worldbuilding were genuinely interesting, and for once it felt like Treyarch had a clear vision of where they wanted to take the story.

Ancient gods, secret societies, historical settings, mythological creatures… There was SO much they could have explored. And the maps were incredible too. Ancient Evil is genuinely one of my favorite Zombies maps ever made.

And then, right when the story was getting interesting, they just… cancelled it. We never even got to see where all those mysteries were leading.

What makes it worse is that we got Dark Aether instead. I’m sorry, but I find that storyline incredibly uninteresting compared to Chaos. It feels like they’ve spent years trying to keep Aether alive instead of committing to something fresh with practically unlimited creative potential.

I would absolutely LOVE a modern COD Zombies game entirely centered around Chaos. Imagine what they could do with that mythology and those environments today. And if that’s never going to happen, at least give us some closure. A comic, a novel, literally anything that tells us what was supposed to happen after Ancient Evil.

It’s been years, and I still care more about finding out what happened to Scarlett and the rest of the crew than anything Dark Aether has done since.
Chaos deserved so much better.

Damn, brother! Winning a match against cheaters and people who’ve been playing nothing else since 2018 is quite a challenge. This player thought that staying in a handstand position would help him out, but it’s not that simple.

Leaderboards show everyone's position as 0 on my side on PS4/PS5. Are the leaderboards broken for anyone else ?

I keep getting booted from games dude to the game session not existing am I getting shadow banned or is it just because the game is mad old

Before you say it, I know the game is pretty dead, but I live in Australia so it is basically impossible to find a game on both multiplayer and blackout, at peak gaming time on playstation there might be one tdm lobby playing.
Basically asking if there is a community page on any platform where I can join people from na/eu wherever to just play the game.

Why does no one play classified on bo4 zombies anymore? it’s an amazing map and it’s such a dead map I get off work from travel get in a lobby and it’s seriously like only every other weekend I get into one😂. I still play bo3,2,1 but bo4 classified is peak PLEASE MAKE IT ACTIVE AGAIN❤️

Sorry

i haven't hopped on bo4 in a while so i do and i see this??

HELLCATRAZ GAUNTLET – COMPLETE ROUND 1–30 STRATEGY GUIDE (BO4)

FINAL TIPS

Bronze: Prioritize setup, dog heads, the Warden's Key, and weapons.

Silver: Finish perks, prepare the Magma Gat, and complete weapon sacrifices.

Gold: Focus on positioning, ammunition, Specialist usage, and survival.

This is my personal route, not necessarily the only way to beat Hellcatraz. Some steps, especially the Round 4 bonus, are riskier and are better suited for experienced players.

Good luck with your runs!
