Spawn Behavior

Manglers spawn out of window barriers just like normal zombies and will spawn through the rounds with normal zombies as well. Up to four manglers can spawn at a time.

Combat Strategy

Manglers can pose a serious threat if not dealt with before more can show up. In Black Ops 3, the Ray Gun MKIII is very effective against them, along with any pack-a-punched shotgun.


In Black Ops Cold War, any wonder weapon or a pack-a-punched shotgun will also do the trick.


In Black Ops 6, any weapon equipped with the ammo mod will deal significantly more damage to Manglers, making any weapon viable against them.
