On December 11th, 2018, Operation Absolute Zero was released, adding several new items to Blackout, such as a new location based off of the map Hijacked from Call of Duty: Black Ops II, new characters, the addition of the two new weapons, a new armored vehicle known as the ARAV, and the ability to repair armor with the use of Armor Plating. The areas of the map inspired by Zombies, such as the Asylum, Lighthouse and Boxing Gym, host AI enemies that drop Zombie loot like the Ray Gun or Cymbal Monkey. Players can equip weapons, health kits, armor, ammo, attachments, and perk consumables.

Players drop onto the map and start looting for equipment, battling enemies, and mobilizing to stay within the circle that limits the map's playable area.

In Solo, Duo and Quad modes, each game contains 88 players as a standard, however one gamemode will contain 100 players as part of the weekly featured playlist.
