There’s a new way to get bonus items in Outbreak, the open-world zombie survival mode in Black Ops Cold War — and it’s with fishing! Each Outbreak map has one fishing spot, which you’ll be able to identify by checking out the fishing zombie sitting by the side of the water. Fishing only takes a second, and can net you some immensely powerful loot… if you’ve got the patience. You’ll probably want your squadmates to watch your back while you’re fishing. Zombies aren’t going to take a break to give you time to angle for free perks.

How Fishing Works
Fishing is a mini-activity players can use to get free loot in any of the five Outbreak maps currently in Black Ops Cold War. To fish, you need to find a corpse holding a fishing rod near the water. Interacting with the body will automatically initiate an animation where you fish — and if you’re lucky, you’ll get a good item.
Fishing rods can be used three times before breaking. Commonly drops scrap, armor scraps, essence, perks, and very rarely, Wonder Weapons like the Raygun.
- NOTE: Listen carefully, and you can even hear the Buried Easter Egg Song while you’re fishing. It’s on the little radio with your undead fisherman friend!
