In Outbreak, you will already start feeling the challenge at around difficulty level 7-8.
To put things into perspective, in regular Zombies, you will start to feel the difficulty rising on round 25+. The new open-world game mode has paved a fresh path with endless possibilities for the future of Call of Duty: Zombies.
Outbreak Zombies mode is a unique experience, differing from the regular round-based mode, and instead offers a new difficulty level.
