Spawn Behavior
Zombies spawn at the start of and throughout each round. Special situations like boss fights or main quest interactions may alter the spawns of zombies, changing them or completely removing them temporarily.
Combat Strategy
The best way to take down zombies is to maintain your distance and attack them from a safe range. Base Zombies will always try to melee you and will only ever attack you from range if you are in a spot they cannot path to. This feature was first introduced in Black Ops: Cold War and only exists in other titles newer than Cold War.
