Call of Duty Zombies Secret Screamers: Difference between revisions

'''Call of Duty (COD)''' is a popular first-person shooter video game franchise, published by Activision and created by Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer Games. The series includes games set in various locations such as the Cold War, outer space, and futuristic worlds, and is available on all major gaming platforms. Since the release of Call of Duty: World at War in 2008, the franchise has featured a game mode called "Nazi Zombies" (now just known as "Zombies") which appears after players complete the campaign. This game mode has become a staple of the franchise, appearing in every game since Advanced Warfare. In recent maps, developers have included secret "screamers" as hidden easter eggs.

In the Call of Duty franchise, the DLC map "Mob of the Dead" features a hidden screamer that can startle players. By using a sniper rifle and heading to the roof of the prison where a plane is located, players can witness fireworks going off to the far left. If they zoom in with the sniper rifle while standing at the edge of the roof, a green face resembling the one from [[ВИD of Doom]] will suddenly appear on the screen, accompanied by a high-pitched scream. This screamer only happens once and is unique to the player who zoomed in. Another unintentional jumpscare can occur with the map's boss zombie "Brutus". Every few rounds, Brutus will spawn and lock down perks for players. He will give a hint of his arrival by the sound of a cell door closing and an ominous sound before he suddenly appears, screaming with light omitting him. If the player is close to one of his spawn points, Brutus may spawn and scream in front of them, particularly in solo play.

There is another jumpscare easter egg, similar to those found in the "Origins" and "Mob of the Dead" maps. To trigger this jumpscare, the player must have a sniper rifle and be near the boxing gym. They must then equip the sniper and zoom into the cargo ship, where a zombified version of Edward Richtofen, the main character from previous maps, will suddenly appear on the scope and emit a loud high-pitched scream.

Zetsubou No Shima features a screamer that occurs randomly only during co-op play. The screamer involves the appearance of a teammate's clone, which can appear as either a stationary figure or a seemingly genuine player-controlled character with the same character model and Gamertag above them. If the real player gets too close to the clone, it will grab them, its eyes and mouth will turn bright red and it will let out a loud scream before exploding. This screamer has been known to scare players due to the convincing appearance of the clone, adding an element of surprise to the gameplay experience.

Call of Duty: WWII is a first-person shooter video game released in 2017, and features a Nazi Zombies mode that relies heavily on jumpscares. In contrast to previous games in the franchise, which had jump scares as easter eggs, the mode in this game incorporates them frequently. The jumpscares in the game include zombies suddenly dropping down from above with a loud scare chord when the player is running through a hallway. In the game's base map "The Final Reich", players can activate their own jumpscare early on in the game. By looking down a manhole near one of the valves (before they're activated), a zombie will jump up along with a loud scare chord before disappearing.

In the fourth installment of the Black Ops saga, Treyarch bought back some screamers in the zombies game mode again.  

In the Black Ops pass exclusive map "Classified", players have the opportunity to encounter a parody jumpscare based on the "Last Gen Richtofen" meme. This meme originated from the low-quality model of the character Edward Richtofen in the Xbox 360/PS3 versions of Black Ops III. To activate the screamer, players must use a sniper rifle to zoom in on a flashing light outside "Groom Lake". This parody screamer utilizes a sting sound effect from the Black Ops campaign mission "U.S.D.D.", where protagonist Alex Mason hallucinates about shooting former President John F. Kennedy.

The final DLC of the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features two unique jumpscares in its zombies game mode. The first jumpscare involves a Margwa creature from the Black Ops 3's Shadows of Evil map. To trigger it, the player must find a piece of paper with the message "Margwa isn't real, Margwa can't hurt you" written on it, located at the Forecastle. Upon finding it, a picture of a Margwa head screaming will suddenly appear, referencing the popular "X isn't real, x can't hurt you" meme. The second jumpscare can be found near the lighthouse where a Hermit man named Pablo is located. Normally, he can only be seen in silhouette, and players had expressed their curiosity about his appearance. Treyarch, the game's developer, responded by making him into a jumpscare. To trigger it, the player must use a sniper rifle and aim at the top of the lighthouse. If the player remains scoped when the light passes their scope, Pablo's screaming face will appear instead.
