CIPHER Zombies

Read full description

CIPHER Zombies — Your Zombies Operations HQ CIPHER Zombies is built for Call of Duty Zombies players who care about high rounds, Main Easter Egg hunts, and squad nights. Log every session, browse the full map catalog, follow step-by-step EE guides, find party lobbies, and track your progress — all in one tactical, dark-themed companion app. LOG OPERATIONS Track every Zombies run as an Operation: map, game, platform, squad size, and mission type. Whether you’re pushing high rounds, hunting the Main EE, running challenges, or playing casual — CIPHER Zombies keeps your history organized. End a run when you’re done and log your final round, EE outcome, notes, and YouTube VOD link. MAP INTEL Browse maps from World at War through Black Ops 7. Filter by storyline (Aether, Dark Aether, Chaos, Extinction, Exo, Spaceland, Nazi), game, difficulty, and more. Each map shows your personal stats, operation history, and quick access to guides and story timelines. MAIN EASTER EGG GUIDES In-app step-by-step Main EE walkthroughs with expandable checklists — perfect for solo runs or coordinating with your squad. Guides cover maps across the catalog, including dual-path quests and Tortured Path chapters. Check off steps as you go; during live Party EE sessions, your crew shares the same checklist. PARTY MATCHMAKING Host or join Zombies lobbies matched by platform (PlayStation, Xbox, PC), spoken language, lobby size, mission type, and mic preference (voice chat or text-only). Open lobbies are discoverable in-app; private lobbies use join codes and share links. Host approval keeps rosters clean. Get notified when your request is accepted, declined, or when a host cancels. STATISTICS & ACHIEVEMENTS Charts, map breakdowns, highest rounds, Main EE clears, and filters across your full operation history. Earn achievements and rank up with XP from completed ops. STORY TIMELINES Read the lore in order: Aether Saga, Dark Aether, Chaos, Nazi Zombies, Extinction, and Infinite Warfare Zombies — with expandable eras, characters, and map links. SYNC & WIDGETS Sign in with Apple and sync operations via iCloud. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your current live operation; stats widgets keep your recent performance visible at a glance. GAME CATALOG World at War, Black Ops, and Black Ops II maps are included free. Unlock additional titles individually or unlock the full catalog in one purchase.
