Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is the latest entry in the popular Call of Duty video game franchise released for PS4, PS 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, the title brings a modernized zombie mode. The player must survive hordes of undead alone or alongside other three users. Check out some useful tips to survive in the first person shooter.
Black Ops 3 followed the playbook of the franchise and kept the formula that worked in Black Ops 2, offering a unique method involving zombies. Set in a fictional town in the 1940's, "Shadows of Evil" introduces four new characters – a Burlesque Dancer, Boxer, Magician and a Cop - and Morg City, a typical city of noir horror stories.
One of the most interesting aspects of this mode is the single system progression. This means that now there are three options in Black Ops 3: the zombie mode in co-op campaign and, of course, in the competitive multiplayer. The premise of "Shadows of Evil" is quite simple: kill zombies, giant wasps and colossal monsters to earn points, unlock new weapons and new areas of the map.
Believe it or not, the customization system of zombie mode skills is based on gum. The Gobblegum machine, positioned in specific locations of map grants colored chewing gum of exchange points.
The color gumballs represent different consumables temporary character. By consuming one Gobblegum, the player may not need to reload the weapon during combat, for example, and be ignored by the zombies for a short period of time.
Before the battle, the user is able to equip up to five Gobblegums to consume in the fight. As you progress and evolving character, new gum are unlocked to diversify Gobblegums package.
So don’t be afraid to invest in Gobblegums during rounds, since weapons are not always sufficient to combat the endless waves of enemies.

In addition to using gobblegums, heavy weapons and grenades, the player is able to transform temporarily into bizarre creatures through totems, as a terrifying beast with eight tentacles. Under the monstrous form, it can produce powerful melee attacks as well as electrical fatal shots.
