Black Ops 2: User's Guide (Work In Progress)


Recommended Posts

  • Administrators

Black Ops II has officially come to a close and we have covered a lot of ground. As always the Zombies team has kept us in the dark with many of their new additions to the game mode. However we as a community dug deep and uncovered the secrets. I will be covering the raw game play elements added in this season. If you are looking Side Quests, EE, storyline ect., please reference the upcoming CoDZ Library by Pinnaz. So with out further ado, I present to you:

Persistent Upgrades

Overview

Player upgrades that are obtained by completing unique task in the maps following the N4 storyline (Green Run, Die Rise, and Buried). The upgrades can be carried over map to map. However they obtainable in any of the alternate game modes. When the upgrade is achieved a glowing green orb will appear either over the player, over a zombie, or a random location on the map; depending on which upgrade has been earned. Followed by a loud indicator.

An indicator can also be heard when the upgrade has been lost.

The bank has a storage capacity of 250,000 points. However there is a 10% service charge for withdraws. Points can also be shared between players on Buried and Tranzit for a 1000 point fee,

 

Locations

Green Run

The Tranzit Bank can be found within the vault in the Bank...in town. Blow open the vault door with a frag or other explosive to access the points bank.

Point Sharing: Point can also be shared between players by using the keys found in the banks lobby. The player who would like the share the points must purchase galvaknuckles off the wall in the diner. Once the knuckles have been purchased melee the keys once. You may now select how many points to share. The points will appear as a dollar sign power up on the opposite side of the teller window.

Ranking System

Overview

The zombies rank is based a five tier system as well as a sub rank based on play frequency. While the specifics of the system are unknown to this day. Recent tweets from Jimmy Zielinski state that the downs on lower rounds have a greater negative impact than downs on higher rounds. The developers have eluded to over all game play; however the main drivers have been identified by the community.

 

i.Kill/Down Ratio

ii.High Rounds

iii.Accuracy

 

Rank

One of the highest drivers of Rank is k/d. It is also the only recorded stat to most accurately predict rank up. Below are the needed k/d ranges to increase and maintain rank.

Disclaimer: There ARE other factors in play. There is no end all answer at the moment.

 

Rank I

125px-Zombie_Rank_1_Icon_BOII_zps3eba2b4

 

Kills/Downs: 0

This is the base rank, basically a place holder for zero stats. This emblem will no longer be seen after  the first game is played assuming one kill is achieved..

 

Rank II

125px-Zombie_Rank_2_Icon_BOII_zpsa8e7bf5

Kills/Downs: 1-29

 

Rank III

125px-Zombie_Rank_3_Icon_BOII_zps9a1f800

Kills/Downs: 30-99

 

Rank IV

125px-Zombie_Rank_5_Icon_BOII_zps7e8b201

Kills/Downs: 100-179

 

Rank V

125px-Zombie_Rank_7_Icon_BOII_zps0f66180

Kills/Downs: 180-220

Rank V is the maximum rank on Black Ops II.

Tally Marks

The tally marks represent a sub rank that does not reflect in-game stats, but how many consecutive days a player has played. The marks go from zero to five. Five being the maximum is when the emblem earns it's blue eyes.

This is fantastic. Props to you Monsieur Boom. Just thought I'd point out a few things that may be insightful for this:

 

- The "Jugga-Jug" ability is obtained after purchasing Quick Revive three times (meaning one down per purchase).

- "Quick-er Revive" can also be lost after a player downs too many times within your vicinity and you let them bleed out. It's a rather high number threshold, though.

- A slight type on "Flopper Jr." - it should be 'dolphin'. I'm sorry for nitpicking that one, but it just caught my attention fully, haha.

 

You should also mention the available buildables throughout Black Ops II (I'm quite sure you were already thinking about that ;) ). I've already bookmarked this page.

Thanks I checked what I knew with others. Results may very ;) Watching actually game play I have seen more than one method for Jugg.

Thank you, corrections are always welcome. Buildables are already on the roster, I just had to call it a night.

Here is what I would still like to cover.

  • Map Boss
  • free perks
  • Buildables
  • Special Weapons
  • Melee Weapons
  • tactical grenade
  • Drops

And I am open to any other suggestions.

Great stuff Boom!

I hadn't included any strategy or general gameplay elements like this in the library. This is something that I should definitely include or reference. There is probably a lot of info you could include once the ideas start flowing. I would like to include this if that's ok with you at a later date.

Another great piece of work by you for the CoDz community.

(Thanks for the shout-out too)

Thank you, and credit where credit is due my friend.

 

Great work, Boom.

Kinda makes me want to play Black ops 2 and that means a lot! haha

Good to hear Lenne. Although the game received a lot of negative reviews from the community. I loved it to death. A lot of their great innovation was ignored. There will be more to come for sure!

Very nice.

You and Pinnaz secretly challengng each other on who's superior?

Both excellent in my eyes.

No just two like-,minded individuals with an unnatural drive to create guides and tutorials. Pinnaz is my constant. Thank you though should have another section or two up this evening.

Damn this is very nice work Boom.

I didn't see this its description, so not sure if you know it, but Flopper Jr. causes explosions when you dolphin dive like normal. So that basically makes it a full version of PhD Flopper, except its not. Personally I would rename it Flopper Lite.

Oh and there is also the Carpenter Metal Barriers one and the Bad Version of the Random Box.

I like it, the only difference being it doesn't protect against non flopping fall damage. Sometimes I assume it's common knowledge, but it would be nice to detail it. I'll add it in. Also for the others, I couldn't find concrete details so I did not include them.

Jugger pro was changed at one point. I believe right before buried's release. Before the change it was just going down three times in quick recession in a solo game on round 1, and that was the most reliable method to get it. There were other ways to get it like falling off buildings and some other stuff like that but it didn't workout every time so I would just do the method before.  But with the addition of buried they felt the community didn't like jugger jug so they nerfed it by making it harder to get. Sometimes it would take almost 10+ downs to get it. Sometimes only one game. So its hard to say what the TRUE method of getting it is.

 

Also I, and others, have proved that you don't actually lose jugger pro till AFTER you go down after round 15. Not at the start of round 15. This can be proven even father by looking at the no perk round 100 gameplay that a few people have achieved on die rise. Unless it has changed, like it has done before, then I think that part of the post needs to be updated.

 

Nevertheless great post Boom!!!!

 

Edit: found another error. The half off persistent upgrade is also wrong. In my experience, its not about not gaining/losing any points, its about gaining a certain amount of points during the duration of a double points. I think the number is 2000 or 3000, not entirely sire because its been a while since I have played with persistent upgrades since playing local you cant get them or use the bank. There was also a glitch where you could get the half off upgrade by getting points from the bank during a double points which would trigger the upgrade to appear. But they fixed that in an update.

 

If i find any more errors il report, again great post and im only tellng you whats wrong to make it better :)

Hey Boom. Amazing stuff. Just wanted to let you know, there are 14 upgrades in total.

You're missing the Double Points, Extra Pistol Points, Carpenter and Raygun from the wall ones.

Also I have some accurate information regarding the upgrades for you:

 

For the Metal Barriers, it can only be obtained after round 10 and the number of boards required to gain the upgrade is exactly 74.
For the Revives, you will automatically gain it after 17 revives. No more, no less.
For the Headshots, you'll need to multi-headshot zombies for a total of 5 times.
For Jugga-Jugga, it cannot be gained after round 2.
For Flopper Lite, you'll gain it after you take fall damage exactly 6 times.
For the Longshot, the amount of kills required is 5. The minimum kill distance needed is 800 [meters?]
 
Also for the Double Points Upgrade (not the one you listed, the other one) , you get it after gaining 2500 points during Double Points.
Hope this helps.

This is the third time writing this since my page keeps messing up so its going to be a little shorter then I originally had it.

There are still some other undiscovered PU out there. When I say undiscovered I mean that there just any information regarding all the specifics about the PU. There are two that I know of.

 

The knife faster PU. This upgrade allows you to knife much faster with heavier guns. Video can be found below

 

Another PU that much isn't know about is the one below. I call it Mr. Boom but there isn't an official name for it. It could have been anything for all I know. I just know it isn't phd because I tested it right after I saw the green puff.

Hmmm well I have gained QR with less than 17. I've had it as early as 9.

Where did you get the info for some of them?

For the others it seems some additional research might be needed. Not saying you don't know your stuff, I just want to be sure for my own piece of mind.

I'm not sure how I forgot to include the ray gun, I even wrote out the steps.

Also I just think the pistol upgrade is stupid, so I didnt include it. I suppose if I want a complete guide I should.

 

Anyway, back to the lab!

Where did you get the info for some of them?

Gamefiles. I never use other sources.

When people speak of 'randomness' in Zombies, that's usually because the exact number of times that's needed for something to be completed - or to happen (let's say, variable X) isn't known to them.

Let me clarify;

 

Persisitent Upgrades carry over from game to game, right?

Well, so do variables X's. (Variable X = the number of times you need to do something to gain a pers. upgrade)

Like the the number of revives, number of times needed to go prone, number of times you need to die, etc etc.

 

This is how you can get the Pers. Quick Revive with, let's say, reviving someone only two times. 

The game just sets a total of subsequent revives w/o failure that the player needs to obtain, and those stats carry over from match to match.

Once you reach that total, you automatically gain the persistent upgrade.

Gamefiles. I never use other sources.

When people speak of 'randomness' in Zombies, that's usually because the exact number of times that's needed for something to be completed - or to happen (let's say, variable X) isn't known to them.

Let me clarify;

Interesting stuff, do you have that data on hand or is it just something you glanced over a while back?

I have the data on my computer. I'll go over it and post anything relevant.

 

There are still some other undiscovered PU out there. When I say undiscovered I mean that there just any information regarding all the specifics about the PU. There are two that I know of.
 

I hate to sound like a dick, but these are all the persistent upgrades that exist. There are some upgrades that can only be gained after round 4, so I'll take a look at them and see which one you got in the Buried vid.

(nube = the Raygun btw)

I can back up what slade is saying on how stuff carries over from game to game. I was able to play some zombies last week and my first ever revive was a quick revive and I hadn't played online in over a month. And the variable does go across multiple games. Thats why people were able to get juggerjug with only one down sometimes.

Hey I understand your not being a dick. Just showing what you know. But I got to ask because I'm curious, but when did you get that screenshot because it may have been updated since then. Because I don't see one for the two I showed. Maybe the second ine was a hlitch because I have seen multiple glitches with the system.

Haha, thanks.

For the people who wanna get technical, there are three files associated with the persistent upgrades.

The first file is arguably the most important, it shows all the upgrades and the various variables (basically the rules the game follows) associated with each individual upgrade.

(The list I showed BS on page 1 is also from this file)

This should clear things up a bit.

Good work. Just some suggestions for the Persistent Upgrades section:

 

The names for the Persistent Upgrades... They do not have names. Therefore, what you call them should be as generic and non-conjectural as possible, i.e. not using names coined by someone thinking it'd be a cool name.

 

Quick-er Revive: Nice and straight to the point.

Reaper: So, you reap? Does it give you a scythe? Where did that come from? Just call it Red Insta-Kill. Call it what it is.

Metal Barriers: I would change it to Metal Barricades. It is just more accurate.

Headshot Multiplier: Great and straight to the point.

Cash Back: Coined by a Youtuber user, but I guess it is accurate, so I don't mind that one so much.

Jugga-Jugga: Just sounds immature. Super Juggernog, Juggernog Plus, Juggernog Pro, anything of that nature I think would be more professional.

Half Off: Just add a hyphen: Half-Off.

Random Box+: If you're going to add a plus sign, I think you should be consistent, like Juggernog+, Quick Revive+. If not, name it something else, like Box Upgrade, just as an example.

Flopper Lite: Good, I guess.

Longshot: Same.

Pseudo-Perma Perks: Perma Perk is a madeup term. And why pseudo? The keeping-one-Perk thing is just as much one as the others. Give it a nondescript name like the others, like Keep-One-Perk.

 

(I am unaware if codenames exist for these things. If they do, that is new, and I apologize for my mistake.)

 

Also, "Flopper Lite" neglects fall damage whether or not you're prone.

 

Lastly, "associated Perk" or "associated Power-Up" is just unnecessary. Some, like the Quick Revive one, obviously are related to a Perk in a way. But some, like the cash back one, are related only through conjecture. I think it best to remove that entirely from your post, as it has no relevance. For example, how is the Headshot Multiplier related to Deadshot Daiquiri? Because it has to do with headshots? By that logic, guns are related to Deadshot Daiquiri. Like I said, cleanest solution is to remove that entirely.

 

If you need help, I'd be happy to provide information.
