The First Room
On ZFRR, the First Room of Citadelle des Morts is the Town Square, where every game begins: a cobbled square of the village below the castle, around a fountain crowned by the stone statue of a giant. The Tavern on its side belongs to the square, with its upper floor and its cellar, and a pile of rubble closes it off from the rest of the citadel. Like on every map of Black Ops 6, each player starts with the weapon of their own loadout. From the first second, the objective on screen reads “Search for a way into the castle”.
The Town Square has two doors to buy, one on each side. The western one opens onto the Nature Path, the road to the Hilltop; in a four-player game of Flapix, it costs him 1000 Essence, and no source checked gives its solo price. The eastern one leads to the Village Ascent, and no source checked gives its price. Both roads climb to the Courtyard of the castle. In a First Room game neither door is ever bought.
The Guardian statue
The giant with a hammer on the fountain in the middle of the square. It is the final boss of the main quest, which wakes it with a key placed at its feet; in a First Room game it never moves.
Rampage Inducer
A lantern in a dark corner of the square, to the left of the bell tower. Its prompt reads “Round Accelerant: Increase Difficulty”: switched on, it makes the zombies spawn faster and move faster.
The Tavern
The big inn of the square, on two floors above a cellar. Its hall sells the Level II Armor Vest on the wall, and it holds one of the three Arsenals of the map.
Der Wunderfizz
On the upper floor of the Tavern, by a pool table. It sells every perk of the map, but in Standard mode it only opens at round 25; in Directed Mode it works at once.
The portal of the Tavern Cellar
A red portal in the cellar: “Fast Travel, Teleport to Entrance Hall”, for 500 Essence. No source checked says whether it can be used before the castle is opened. The Cave Slide and the Rampart Cannon also land in the square, but both start from parts of the map that stay out of reach.
GS45
750 Essence at Uncommon rarity, a pistol on a stone wall of the Town Square, the only wall weapon of the First Room.
GobbleGum Machine
At the door of the Tavern, beside a stack of beer kegs.
No perk machine
No Perk-a-Cola stands in the square. Doors closed, the only way to a perk is the Wunderfizz from round 25, or the free PhD Flopper of the bartender Easter egg, whose bottles lie in the castle.
Crafting Table and Ammo Cache
The square also has a Crafting Table, in the cellar of the Tavern, and an Ammo Cache.
What stays out of reach
The Mystery Box, whose spots include the Hilltop, the Village Ascent and the Dungeon; the Pack-a-Punch, at the bottom of the castle; every Perk-a-Cola; and the Exfil radio, on the Hillside Ramparts.
Enemies
Zombies, then the special enemies of the map: Vermin and Parasites from the special round 6, Armored and Heavy Zombies, Amalgams, and Doppelghasts from round 12.
The Citadelle des Morts leaderboard keeps five categories, each with boards for solo and for two, three and four players. Purist is the reference and opens by default. Two groups follow, No Support and With Support, each split into No GobbleGums and All GobbleGums; they count in the player ratings with a lower difficulty. How a round of Black Ops 6 compares with a round of the older games is explained in Black Ops 6: Rounds. The rules:
Doors closed
Reach the highest round you can without opening doors, and play every round in full. Glitches and exploits are not allowed in any category.
Purist
The starting loadout and nothing else. No perk, no Mystery Box, no GobbleGum, no Field Upgrade, no Arsenal, no Crafting Table and no Support, and no Self-Revive beyond the one each player starts with.
No Support
No scorestreak, and nothing from the Support section of the Crafting Table; picking up a scorestreak should be avoided. Armor plates are picked up or bought on the wall, never at the workbench. In solo, only the starting Self-Revive; in co-op, up to three per player, dropped by zombies.
With Support
Every support item may be used.
GobbleGums
On the No GobbleGums boards, the only gum allowed is Anywhere But Here, to get unstuck, with a timestamp; keeping the three Whimsical gums in the pack is advised, as one used by mistake does not void the run. On the All GobbleGums boards every gum is allowed, but not the timed-out gum.
Black Ops 6
Every game is played on the latest patch. Saving and quitting or crashing the game to void a down, a Dying Wish or a game over is not allowed, and a patch that changes the balance of the game can reset a board.
Video
The whole game must be recorded, with every player’s point of view in co-op on every board but With Support, All GobbleGums, whose rules do not ask for it. A Twitch video must be saved as a highlight, since past broadcasts are not accepted; a YouTube video must be public or unlisted.
