Spawn Behavior

Armored Zombies will begin spawning on Round 10 with normal zombies and will spawn more frequently as the round increases.

Combat Strategy

Armored Zombies function no differently than standard zombies, just being slightly tankier due to their light armor. Shoot their armor off and then fire at their head to kill these enemies quickly. In Black Ops 7 Zombies, these enemies are slightly slower than normal zombies and will never become super-sprinters, but deal more damage than normal zombies.
