Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC: 5 Things to Try

Now that you are playing the Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC, there are five things you need to try out on the new maps. This will help you learn the new Awakening Black Ops 3 maps and Zombies modes and will help you be a better overall player while on the new maps.

The Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC is available on PC, Xbox One and PS4 for $14.99 as a standalone map pack or for $50 as part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 season pass. If you buy the Season Pass, you can get four map packs of four maps each and four new Black Ops 3 Zombies episodes.

Assuming you already have the Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC installed, this guide will walk you through what helped us learn the new maps and become better in an arguably tougher multiplayer environment.

These are the five things you need to try in the Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC. We’ll start off with some tips that will help you surprise your enemies and then we’ll tell you where you need to go to practice and explore.

If you are stuck in a specific playlist most of the time, we also have a tip that will help you break out and go big in the four new Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC maps so that you can fully immerse yourself in the new multiplayer experience.

We spent the last month playing the Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC and learning these things the hard way, but thanks to our experimentation we’ve boiled this down to the five things you need to try in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC.

There are four new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 maps in the Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC. You should spend at least 30 to 60 minutes exploring these new Black Ops 3 maps offline so you know the overall flow, layout and learn some of the spots you can use to quickly get from one lane to the next. To do this choose Play Local when you are in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and then set up a game that you want to play offline. This will allow you to choose game modes, maps and if you want to add bots to the game so it's not just you running around. This is where you can practice what we are going to show you on the next thing to try. Keep in mind that you can control every aspect of the game here and it will not impact your K/D ratio since you are playing locally.
