For Black Ops 6, Treyarch has included Special Zombies, which are much harder to eliminate quickly on Terminus and Liberty Falls thanks to their higher health and the ability to deal huge amounts of damage.

Alongside Special Zombies, there are also Elite enemies to contend with, resulting in some chaotic battles when attempting to survive the onslaught.

But what exactly are Special Zombies in Black Ops 6? Keep on reading for everything there is to know about this particular type of undead opponent.

CoD Black Ops 6.

Special Zombies in Black Ops 6 are harder to eliminate and deal more damage than standard undead enemies.

The Mangler is the only Special Zombie that appears in Terminus and Liberty Falls. Armed with a huge cannon on its arm, the zombie launches orange pulses capable of downing you in the blink of an eye.

Manglers will start to spawn after round 11, and continue appearing every few rounds.

Its Mangler Cannon has the ability to track your location, making it tricky to dodge the blast.

We recommend sprinting around a corner to stay safe or shooting the cannon as it's charging to stop the Mangler from inflicting damage.
