Exo Soldier | ZFRR Hub

Exo Soldier is the weapon-handling upgrade of Exo Zombies, the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It lets a player shoot while sprinting and sliding, swap weapons faster and fire more accurately from the hip. It is the cheapest of the upgrades that need an Exo Suit.

In the First Room

Exo Soldier is not in any First Room. On the maps of Exo Zombies, the Hub’s map books place the Exo Suits it needs past the doors of the starting room, and the station too wherever they list it:

Map	Game	Where the book places Exo Soldier	Where the Exo Suits are
Outbreak	Advanced Warfare	In the Holding area, near the door to the Exo Testing Room	In the Exo Testing Room, at the heart of the facility, behind the doors of the Courtyard
Infection	Advanced Warfare	In Value Voltage	Down in the Sewers, far behind the doors of Hoard More
Carrier	Advanced Warfare	Not listed in the book	In the Cargo deck, behind the doors of the Hangar and the Gun Deck
Descent	Advanced Warfare	In the Lounge	Down in the Galleria, behind the doors of the Landing

On every one of those maps, the only Exo Upgrade the books find in the starting room is Exo Medic, which works without the suit. The doors-closed records are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect in Advanced Warfare

The upgrade station lit up over a wet floor, the crosshair icon above it, Exo Soldier, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Zombies

The station

1,750 credits. The player can fire while sprinting and while sliding, and the wiki’s list of upgrades adds reloading while running.

The icon

A crosshair, in the cyan of the Atlas stations. The same sign floats as a hologram above the station.

Handling

Weapon swaps are faster and hip fire is more accurate. Unlike in multiplayer, aiming down the sights does not slow the player for a few seconds.

In the Goliath

In Descent the upgrade carries over to the XS1 Goliath: its chain gun can be fired while sprinting.

How upgrades work

Like every Exo Upgrade, it is bought at a station that works once the power switch of its area is on. There is no limit to the number of upgrades a player can hold. A downed player does not lose them all at once: they go one by one while the player bleeds out, starting with the last one bought.

Where to find it

Advanced Warfare: Outbreak, Infection and Descent. For Carrier, the sources disagree: the wiki’s page of the upgrade places a station in the Armory, but neither the wiki’s page of the map nor the Hub’s Carrier book lists one. The exact spot on each map is in its book.

Deadshot Daiquiri

The Treyarch perk the wiki compares its hip-fire accuracy to.

The other Exo Upgrades: Exo Health, Exo Medic, Exo Reload, Exo Slam and Exo Stockpile.

Trivia

Multiplayer perks

The wiki likens its effects to Gung-Ho and Fast Hands, two perks of the game’s multiplayer.
