All augments are disabled.
Map: Ashes of the Damned | Tier: Wicked | Difficulty: Medium
Portal: Blackwater Lake, inside the cabin while facing west.
Save note: Unsafe once the phone chain begins.
Unlock requirements
- On rounds 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, locate a ringing phone and answer it before ending the round.
- Possible phones include Janus Towers server room, Zarya control room, Blackwater Lake tool shed, Vandorn Farm first floor, Ashwood market, Exit 115 service areas, and Lost Cabins.
Trial rules and prep
Weapon damage is reduced by half. Waves 1, 2, 4, and 5 build progress; waves 3 and 6 can bring Doppelghast and Zursa HVTs, with Mimics possible.
- Hold several zombies on rounds 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 while searching for the ringing phone.
- Use jump-pad routes to listen across the map, and kill a held zombie periodically if the round is at risk of flipping.
- Wonder Weapons and War Machines still handle the reduced-damage HVTs well.
