A radio announcer calls the start, then 5, 2 and 1 minute left. The night is the point: heavy rain, lightning, fog, a lit church and its bell. Trenches has its own zombie roster with new models, clothing and helmets, including gas-mask zombies with muffled screams. Weapon crates and loadout crates sit in random spots every match, and you can jump and vault on this map in Zombies.<\/p>\n Squad tip.<\/strong> Crate locations change between runs. Use the on-screen timer and radio calls to regroup.

The new special wave<\/strong> is sprinters only, with the church bell ringing non-stop. Crows were reworked too: your operator shields their face when attacked, and the crows can now be killed. Reissad also removed two misleading dead ends near the cemetery.<\/p>\n Squad tip.<\/strong> When the church bell signals the sprinter wave, regroup and call reloads so someone is watching for the next rush.<\/p>\n The special wave now comes every 5 waves<\/strong> instead of every 6: all generators shut down, an alarm sounds, the lights go red and only sprinters come. From wave 2, a few sprinters can appear in normal waves as well. Generators now show when they are available again, and two possible loadout crate spots were added.<\/p>\n Squad tip.<\/strong> Check the tablet wave counter. Before each fifth wave, pick a spot where the team can regroup when power cuts.
