{{Spoilers}}{{Infobox

}}

'''Call of Duty''' commonly abbreviated for ''COD'' is a first-person shooter vide game franchise, published by Activision, and created and developed by Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer Games, the series has seen games set in the midst of the Cold War, futuristic worlds, and outer space, and more, the game is available on all gaming platforms, In 2008, with the release of Call of Duty: World at War, there was a secret game mode known as "Nazi Zombies" (following WaW, it's known only as zombies) after the player beats the campaign, and has become a staple in the franchise appearing in every single game since Advanced Warfare, In more recent maps, developers have hidden secret screamers on a few of the maps as hidden easter eggs.  

In the DLC map "Mob of the Dead", the player can come across a hidden screamer.

If the player has a sniper rifle and heads to the roof of the prison, where the plane is located, to the very far left, there are fireworks going off. If the player stands at the edge of the roof and zooms in with a sniper rifle, a sudden green face (who appears to resemble the face from [[ВИD of Doom]]) along with a high pitched scream will pop up on your screen, This can only happen once and it will only happen to the player who zoomed in, a second, '''unintentional''' jumpscare might occur with the maps' boss zombie "Brutus", in Mob of the Dead, every few rounds a boss zombie will spawn to lock down perks for the players, he will always give a hint to when he's arriving, as the player will hear the sound of a cell door closing, with an ominous sound before he suddenly appears, screaming with light omitting him.

If the player has a sniper rifle, and heads to the Pack-A-Punch area, and zooms into onto the church (right-hand side of the Pack-A-Punch machine), a damaged skull will suddenly fill your screen and scream. The skull appears to be very damaged and has a reflection in one of the eyes. This screamer can still be accessed on the Call of Duty Black Ops III DLC "Zombies Chronicles"

=== Shadows of Evil ===

If the player gets too close to this fake clone, the clone will grab them, a loud noise will play as the clone's eyes and mouth become bright red and scream, before exploding.

=== General Jumpscares ===

Unlike other zombies modes in the franchise, Call of Duty WWII relies rather heavily on jumpscares, with many of them happening in Nazi Zombies, For example, the player might be running through a hallway, only to have a zombie suddenly jump down with a loud scare chord. Unlike previous games, this will happen multiple times, However, in the games' base map "The Final Reich", the player can activate a jumpscare of their own very early on into the game, If the player looks down a manhole near one of the valves, (before they're activated) a zombie will jump up along with a loud scare chord, before he lets go and runs away.  

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

To find the Margwa jumpscare, the player has to look for a piece of paper around the map located at the Forecastle, the paper the player needs to find says "Margwa isn't real, Margwa can't hurt you", then a picture of a Margwa head screaming will pop up.  This one seems to be a reference to the "X isn't real, x can't hurt you" meme, The second one is around the lighthouse, where the Hermit man named Pablo is, he normally cannot be seen outside of a silhouette, at the very top of the lighthouse, and some players really wanted to see what he looked like, and Treyarch knew this so they made him into a jumpscare. If the player tries to see what Pablo looks like, by using a sniper rifle at the lighthouse, if they remain scoped when the light is about o pass their scope, his face will appear instead, screaming.  

As a part of the 2020 Halloween update for the free-to-play title Warzone, there was a limited edition mode called Zombie Royale which was added where players could take the role of a zombie upon death and get multiple chances at being revived, Alongside this update, there was a random jumpscare that was added too, in normal WarZone, players can find crates scattered around the map containing weapons, health kits, and upgrades, but during the Halloween event, if the player opened any crate they found, there'd be a chance they'd get an incredibly loud jumpscare while a flashing image of either a portrait, ghost or zombie would pop up for about 3 seconds before disappearing.

This has since been removed following the end of the Halloween event and backlash from the community.  

Jumpscares return in the latest installment of the Black Ops saga.

The secondary way of triggering this inferno zombie is to do the scorestreak easter egg by shooting floating zombies in the Dark Aether, where on the final step before collecting your weapon if you do not shoot the final zombie in a specific time window, the Inferno Zombie will suddenly jump up and scream like the Mystery Box screamer.  

Following the season 2 update to BOCW, Treyarch added in a new mode called "Outbreak", set in some multiplayer maps from the Dirty Bomb game mode, in this mode players have complete freedom to explore without any time or round limits and much like Warzone and Dirty Bomb, can enter and exit houses too.
