Unlocking the Secrets: What Happens When You Complete All BO3 Zombies Easter Eggs?
The quest to conquer all the Easter Eggs in Call of Duty: Black Ops III (BO3) Zombies is a monumental task, a true test of skill, teamwork, and dedication. But what awaits those who brave every horde, solve every cryptic puzzle, and defeat every boss? The reward is far more than bragging rights—it’s a culmination of the entire BO3 Zombies storyline, and it unlocks a series of unique in-game benefits. To put it simply, completing all the BO3 Zombies Easter eggs (excluding those in the Zombies Chronicles DLC) unlocks the “A Better Tomorrow” achievement, grants you a permanent RK5 starting pistol in every subsequent game, and culminates in a final, emotional cutscene in Samantha’s room.
The Road to “A Better Tomorrow”
The journey to this ultimate reward requires meticulously completing every mainline BO3 Zombies map Easter egg in order. However, there’s a crucial catch: the Revelations Easter egg must be the final one completed. This is because the “A Better Tomorrow” achievement has a unique requirement. You can complete the other maps in any order. For example, you don’t need to beat Shadows of Evil first. But it’s essential that Revelations acts as the concluding piece to this puzzle.
Upon satisfying these conditions, you’ll unlock the “A Better Tomorrow” achievement, and a second achievement for completing Revelations with all the other Easter Eggs completed. This will unlock a few important things:
-
Permanent RK5 Starting Pistol: From that point onwards, every time you start a new BO3 Zombies match, you’ll begin with the RK5 pistol, a powerful and reliable weapon, rather than the standard M1911. This provides a significant advantage, allowing players to tackle early rounds with much more ease.
-
Teleportation to Samantha’s Room and Final Cutscene: Once the Revelations Easter egg is finished with all previous Easter Eggs completed, players are teleported to Samantha’s room, a significant location in the zombies storyline. This is where the final, outro cutscene plays. This cutscene is the culmination of all the complex plots and storylines from throughout the game, bringing some closure to the narrative.
This final scene offers a touching, sometimes bittersweet moment of finality for the characters. While the gameplay loop of Zombies never truly ends, this cutscene marks the end of the overarching storyline for the game.
The Significance of the Rewards
The reward for completing all the Easter eggs is more than just a shiny achievement; it’s a testament to the players dedication and understanding of the Zombies lore. It’s a permanent game enhancement, providing a better starting advantage with the RK5, and a narrative conclusion that puts a period on the extensive BO3 Zombies saga. This is the final end for the story as it will not continue as the zombie maps are defined and the story concludes. This achievement is a badge of honor for hardcore Call of Duty Zombies fans.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions to help clarify more information about the BO3 zombies:
1. Is there an end to BO3 Zombies?
Technically, no. The maps are finite, but the zombie spawning is endless, with each round increasing the difficulty and number of enemies. The game continues until all players are defeated. There isn’t a “winning” condition. However, the “A Better Tomorrow” achievement and final cutscene do mark a story conclusion. The Zombies spawning will continue though as that is a defined game mechanic of the Zombie mode.
2. What is the max level in BO3 Zombies?
The max level is technically 1000 Master Prestige. You have to progress through 10 levels of prestige before reaching Master Prestige, after which you level up to 1000. Once you hit level 35 in a prestige level, you are free to continue or leave the game.
3. How long does it take to complete all of Zombies Chronicles Achievements in BO3?
Completing all 12 Zombies Chronicles achievements is estimated to take between 12-15 hours. This does not factor in other achievements.
4. What is the goal of BO3 Zombies?
The goal is to survive as many rounds as possible by eliminating zombies. Each round increases the number and strength of the zombies. There isn’t a set “finish line” within the gameplay itself, with the story culminating with Easter eggs. The objective of gameplay is survival until all players are defeated.
5. What is the hardest Zombies map in BO3?
While difficulty is subjective, many consider Nacht Der Untoten and Shangri-La among the hardest, with Zetsubou No Shima being another frequent contender. Nacht Der Untoten is simple and difficult for those reasons, while others feature extremely difficult quests or map layouts that makes survival that much more challenging.
6. What is the max prestige in BO3 zombies?
Players can achieve 10 levels of Prestige before unlocking Master Prestige. After reaching Master Prestige, they can then level up to Level 1000.
7. How much XP does it take to get to level 1000 in BO3?
It takes a massive 68,004,200 XP to go from level 1 to Master Prestige level 1000. This would take a lot of grinding.
8. What are the flying bugs in Black Ops 3 zombies?
The flying bugs are called Parasites. They first appear in round 5. You can get a specific achievement for killing 5 parasites while on the train.
9. Can you do the Shadows of Evil Easter egg with 3 people?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) is one of the shortest with a campaign estimated to take 4-6 hours.
11. What is the hardest Call of Duty campaign?

13. How long does it take to get to round 255 in BO3 Zombies?
Reaching round 255 can take approximately a day of constant playtime. It also depends on your play style and how efficient you are at eliminating zombies. The game has been known to crash past this round.
14. What is the secret weapon in Shadows of Evil?
The secret weapon in Shadows of Evil is the Apothicon Servant, a powerful weapon that creates black holes to suck in and destroy zombies. It is acquired by gathering specific parts and combining them on a workbench.
15. How long does it take to 100% BO3?
Completing the main objectives takes about 9 hours, but fully 100% completing the game will take approximately 79 hours. This encompasses the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies modes.
By accomplishing all of the BO3 Zombies Easter eggs, you unlock more than just an achievement; you unlock a piece of the grand narrative. The RK5 pistol and the final cutscene provide a satisfying ending for hardcore zombie players, and the journey is well worth the challenges they entail. Good luck!
