Black ops 6 jumpscare!

In the latest Black Ops 6 Zombies map, "The Tomb," players have encountered a startling jumpscare that has left many bewildered. Beyond the primary Easter egg, "The Tomb" is filled with hidden tasks and references. While some are straightforward, like triggering a musical cue, others, such as acquiring the Gold Armor to aid in defeating the final boss, are more intricate. Typically, these secrets can be consistently activated in each playthrough. However, a particular jumpscare has been catching players off guard.

Since the map's release on January 28, players have shared clips showcasing this unexpected scare. During gameplay, an animated zombie suddenly lunges at the screen, accompanied by a piercing scream. This is especially jarring for those using high-volume headphones. Initially, the triggers for this event seemed random, with reports of it occurring upon entering new areas or collecting power-ups.

Recent insights suggest that the jumpscare is activated by shooting statues that randomly appear throughout "The Tomb." Upon being shot, these statues' eyes glow red, and a faint whisper can be heard. The jumpscare doesn't happen immediately; once triggered, it can occur at any point during the remainder of the session.

Players have noted that these statues are often situated out of bounds, leading some to inadvertently activate the Easter egg, resulting in unexpected frights. As the community continues to explore "The Tomb," it's likely that more hidden surprises will be uncovered.
