The First Room

The Water Stream spawn with the Welling in hand: the Quick Revive machine on the left and the ivy-covered building of the Pack-a-Punch, its doorway glowing with green gas, under cherry trees, Mori Rebirth, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

A game of Mori Rebirth starts in a wooded Japanese park, in the zone the game calls Water Stream. The players appear with the Welling pistol and 500 points. The building of the Pack-a-Punch stands in the spawn, closed at first by a poisonous gas.

What the guides show in the spawn, before any door is opened:

A square stone plate set in the dirt path of the Water Stream spawn, under the trees, Mori Rebirth, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

A stone plate

One of the four large plates of the main quest, in the style of Shangri-La, across from Quick Revive.

Quick Revive

The perk machine of the spawn, next to the Pack-a-Punch building.

The Pack-a-Punch building

In the spawn, full of gas until five monkey statues are turned across the map, after the power. Inside are the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the workbench of the shield, and later the Ray Gun on the wall.

A gong

One of the four gongs of the main quest, across from Quick Revive, to the right of the Strife on the wall.

The shield

One of its three parts, the face piece, is always in the spawn: to the left of Quick Revive, against the fence to its right, or under the shelves of the Pack-a-Punch building.

Monkeys

Five of the small monkeys to shoot for the Banana Colada sit around the spawn, one of them on the roof of the Pack-a-Punch building.

Welling

The starting pistol.

Strife

A pistol on a wall of the spawn, next to the gong. RapidFusionz already has it in hand at the first debris of the spawn. No guide reads its price.

The doors

Debris blocks the paths out of the spawn. RapidFusionz’s guide shows two of them in the first minutes of the game: one for 750 points, by Quick Revive, and one for 1000 points, a bench across a path. The guide does not say which zone each one opens.

The Mystery Box costs 950 points, as its prompt shows in Flapix’s guide. No guide places it in the spawn.

Overview

Mori Rebirth is a custom Zombies map for Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PC, created and designed by eMoX MaNgA and posted on the Steam Workshop on March 18, 2022. The Workshop page presents it as “the rebirth of a custom zombies classic with an expanded map, new quests, weapons, challenges and more”. The page sets its story “in the years following Mori”, the map eMoX MaNgA posted on the Workshop in April 2019, and says that Mori Rebirth “brings all new quests to a familiar location”.

The Workshop page sets the story after “the events of “Alpha Omega” and “Mori””: Dr. Hale, the only survivor of the Japanese Broken Arrow facility, waits alone in her bunker for the heroes to rescue her. In the years after Mori, she had a new Broken Arrow facility and a farm built to go on with her research.

Mori Rebirth is not the same map as Mori: the 2019 map has its own Workshop page. Both were posted by the same Steam account, that of eMoX MaNgA, and the page of Rebirth presents it as “the rebirth of a custom zombies classic”.

The Broken Arrow factory

One of the new areas of the map, mapped by robit according to the Workshop page, with Elemental Pop, Electric Cherry, the keypad and a workbench.

Areas

The zone names that the game shows and that the guides use: Water Stream (the spawn), the Fountain, 32 Yungaro Way (a house with Stamin-Up), the Bunker of Dr. Hale between the Fountain and 32 Yungaro Way, the Pathway to Church and the Church, Hale’s Garden and the Broken Arrow Factory, the Power Station and the Pathway to Power Station, the Picnic Area and the Refugee’s Farm, with its farmhouse and its barn. The bunker opens from both sides, by the Fountain and by 32 Yungaro Way, for 1000 points, and links them, as RapidFusionz shows.

Characters

Dr. Hale is the only character heard all through the quest. She speaks from behind the door of her bunker, with subtitles and a portrait on screen, and the players hand her objects through a small hatch next to the door. Her voice is that of xZoay, according to the credits of the Workshop page. The page speaks only of “our heroes” for the players and does not name them.

Credits

The Workshop page credits alexisloic21 for the scripting of the main quest, the Pack-a-Punch, the challenges, the boss fight, the monkeys, the keypad and the Puke Ray; robit for the mapping of the Broken Arrow factory and the Japanese houses, some Black Ops 4 weapons and the images of the page; Clix for the mapping of the original farm, the game mode menu, Gun Game and Sharpshooter; Sphynx for the buildables and the elemental table; Symbo for the plants and the spike traps; HarryBO21 for the Nova crawlers, the perks and the power-ups; and many others. Among the testers are Kenshin9977 and Brutstone.

Enemies

Zombies

The common enemy, through the whole map.

Monkeys

As in Shangri-La, a monkey runs for every power-up that drops and changes it while it carries it; every few rounds they also go for a perk machine, and the player loses that perk until it is bought again at its machine. Some rounds are monkey rounds, and RapidFusionz notes monkeys carrying dynamite on their backs.

Nova crawlers

Credited to HarryBO21 on the Workshop page; Brutstone’s guide meets them in the wave of the mannequin step of the quest.

The zombie in orange mist

A single zombie at the farm, in the main quest, to be overpowered with the Puke Ray and escorted to the bunker.

Cosmic Kong

The giant monkey of the final boss fight, at the farm.

Perks

The guides show ten perk machines: Quick Revive in the spawn, Juggernog at the farm (2500 points, in the Black Ops Cold War style according to RapidFusionz), Speed Cola and PhD Flopper at the power station, Elemental Pop and Electric Cherry in the factory, Deadshot Daiquiri and Double Tap by the church, Mule Kick at the Fountain and Stamin-Up at 32 Yungaro Way. Extra perk slots come from the challenges and from a code of the keypad.

The power, the perks and the Pack-a-Punch

Weapons

The weapons come from several Call of Duty games, Black Ops 4 among them. The game starts with the Welling; the Strife, the M1897, the Saug 9mm, the GKS and the Titan are on the walls, the Mystery Box costs 950 points, and a Ray Gun goes on the wall for 7500 points after a side quest.

Puke Ray

The wonder weapon of the box, rare until the main quest asks for it: a zombie it hits vomits on the zombies around it.

31-79 JGb215

The Shrink Ray of Shangri-La, from the box or built from three parts, with two upgraded versions: the Freeze Ray and the Gravit Ray.

Every weapon of Mori Rebirth

The Puke Ray, the Shrink Ray and its two upgrades

Buildables

Three things are built: the Vine Shield, in the Pack-a-Punch building; the Shrink Ray, in the barn of the farm; and the kit of the factory, on which the Freeze Ray and the Gravit Ray are assembled.

Where the parts are and where to build them

Power

There is no switch: the power comes on when five stone pillars have been activated across the map, at the Fountain, at 32 Yungaro Way, in the factory, outside the power station and at the farm. According to RapidFusionz, the pillars asked for challenges in the first Mori; in Rebirth the challenges moved to scarecrows.

Easter egg

The main quest starts once the power is on, by knocking with the knife on the door of Dr. Hale’s bunker. It needs the Shrink Ray, the Puke Ray, the Pack-a-Punch and three different ammo mods, and ends with a lockdown and the fight against Cosmic Kong. In short:

  1. Bring Dr. Hale a battery, then a crystal won from the four gongs, shrunk with the Shrink Ray.
  2. Bring her tools and a container, then a zombie overpowered with the Puke Ray and escorted to the bunker.
  3. Find the chip of the mannequins, charge the crystal and a fuse, and put three blue orbs in their holders.
  4. Step on the stone plates and the symbols of the Pack-a-Punch wall, twice in the same order.
  5. Charge three fuses with Blast Furnace, Dead Wire and Fireworks, break the protection system and enter the four access codes.
  6. Survive the lockdown at the bunker, kill Cosmic Kong at the farm and escape through the bunker.

The main quest, step by step

Secrets

The Ray Gun

A glowing orb led from the power station to the Pack-a-Punch puts the Ray Gun on the wall.

Banana Colada

A free perk for shooting the small monkeys hidden across the map.

The keypad

Codes for power-ups, points, a perk slot and other effects.

Challenges

Four scarecrows with three challenges each.

Trivia

  • RapidFusionz believes that GregFPS was the first player to complete the Easter egg; a thread of the Workshop discussions linked GregFPS’s announcement that it had been solved.
  • RapidFusionz recognizes in Cosmic Kong the giant monkey of Dead Ops Arcade.
  • The gongs, the stone plates and the monkeys come from Shangri-La, and the seeds and buckets from Zetsubou No Shima.
  • Flapix ranks the map in the top five custom maps of Black Ops III in the first Flapix video of it.
  • A fridge at the farm keeps a weapon from one game to the next, but not a wonder weapon, as Pankake101 shows.
  • Brutstone, one of the testers, wrote a text guide of the map and posted it in the discussions of the Workshop page.
