Call of Duty Zombies is one of the most famous modes of Activision’s billion-dollar franchise. It is also part of one of the most iconic first-person shooter franchises in the world, if not the most iconic.
With the advancement of technology, Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality games are becoming increasingly popular. It is not a surprise that a Virtual Reality experience coupled with the adventurous and high-octane adventure of a Call of Duty game’s Zombies mode would be fun to play. One can achieve that in part in the VR game Contractors: VR.
This is now possible, all thanks to modding capabilities and some enthusiastic members of the modding community. Evidence of the same can be found in a YouTuber creator, AwakenToast’s video. The mod is for the game Contractors: VR and is hosted on mod.io. The gameplay looks promising and enjoyable, filled with action involving the undead.
Out of all the Call of Duty games ever released, Call of Duty: Black Ops has one of the most loved Zombies modes to ever feature in a Call of Duty game. While the game mode remained a favourite among fans, It was ditched, with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War being the last game to include it correctly.
Call of Duty: Vanguard included a Zombies mode but in a very insignificant manner. Thankfully, the mode is making a return in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Everything You Need to Know About Call of Duty Zombies Mode for Contractors: VR
While there isn’t an official VR-supported Zombies mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops, it is still one of the most loved Call of Duty Zombies titles. But as mentioned, thanks to modders, players can have a very similar experience playing Contractors: VR thanks to the mod titled CoDz BO1: Kino Der Toten.
The mod has an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive‘ rating on mod.io, with almost 180 thousand downloads. As seen from the gameplay footage, the mod recreates the iconic Call of Duty Zombies map Kino Der Toten. The map was featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
The mod gives the game the round-based zombie-slaying experience of Call of Duty Zombies with a religiously recreated map. Everything from the assets to the immersion has been well taken care of in the immaculately designed mod.
Even gameplay elements like building barriers and getting rewarded points from the same. One can even almost identically melee zombies like the original Call of Duty Zombies mode as well. The mechanics offered by the mod also seem very convincing. This holds true especially when one considers that it wasn’t built by a AAA studio but an indie modder.
The minuscule details in the mode are like crawler zombies, which don’t leave the player’s tale until they are pumped full of lead. While reloading, one can even check the remaining bullets in the loaded magazine, akin to the original Call of Duty Zombies. It even features some iconic weapons like 1911 and M14.
Will We Ever See an Actual Call of Duty Zombies Game in VR released by Activision?
Activision has been putting in the work when it comes to revamping the Call of Duty Zombies experience. This can be noted with the inclusion of the mode in its latest title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This is after the mode was excluded after its last appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in 2020.
But when it comes to Activision going the full mile for Call of Duty Zombies in VR, the chances are slim because of the cost of entry.
This is unlikely to be mainstream since not everybody can afford a Virtual Reality headset, and the main revenue generators in this case are different. The most amount of revenue in most first-person shooter games is generated through multiplayer.
Using a Virtual Reality headset for long hours can be nauseating and is definitely not recommended. At the time, Call of Duty Zombies officially coming for the VR is a very distant possibility. But at least you still can get a taste of it via this mod.
