Dead Ops Arcade 4
Dead Ops Arcade 4 is the latest entry in Treyarch's top-down twin-stick Zombies arcade series — a standalone mode with its own arenas and no main-quest Easter egg. Survive waves, chain kills for the score multiplier, and hunt the hidden exits and bonus rooms between arenas.
Quick answers
How do you complete the Dead Ops Arcade 4 Easter egg?
- A top-down twin-stick shooter mode — pilot a survivor through waves of zombies across a chain of arenas.
- Chain kills to build the SCORE MULTIPLIER; a gap in kills resets it.
- Between arenas, watch for hidden exits and bonus rooms — the series' signature secrets and power-up caches.
- Grab weapon and power-up pickups as they drop; screen-clearing specials (Chopper Gunner, Death Machine) clear whole arenas.
- No main quest — the reward is your leaderboard score and DOA-exclusive unlocks.

Side Easter Eggs & extras
Everything beyond the main quest. Tap any entry to open the full how-and-where breakdown.
Score multiplier
Continuous kills build a multiplier that drives your score and unlock pace; a gap resets it. Herd zombies into tight groups and keep something alive to bridge waves.
Hidden exits & bonus rooms
Each arena hides an exit or bonus room reached through a concealed edge or destructible rather than the normal path — they lead to power-up caches, extra lives and shortcuts. Sweep the arena's borders before the last kill.
Special drops
Weapon crates and screen-clearing power-ups drop through the run — save the big ones (Chopper Gunner, Death Machine) for the densest waves and boss arenas.
Where it sits
DOA4 is a self-contained arcade mode alongside the round-based maps, Survival and Rogue Run — no Easter egg, pure high-score survival.
