Call of the Dead

BO1 PC : available Xbox : available PlayStation : available Plutonium : available

A frozen Siberian shore, a beached trawler and a lighthouse, with four actors playing themselves: Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker and Robert Englund. Call of the Dead is the strangest map in the series and the only one where the antagonist is a film director.

George A. Romero follows you the whole game. He grows angry when you shoot him, electrifies the water he walks through, and only drops a Random Perk Bottle when he is finally beaten, before he comes back. The Scavenger and the V-R11 come from the Mystery Box, and the Wunderwaffe is given to whoever finishes the easter egg.

The First Room is the frozen shore where the game starts, with Quick Revive and one window. Wide open, exposed on every side, and shared with George, who never stops coming. That is what makes this board read differently from every other one on the site: a First Room run here is a run with a permanent second opponent who does not follow the round counter.

Fast, not far

A First Room speedrun is the opposite exercise of a high round : the room is the same, the goal is not. Instead of holding the spawn as long as possible, you clear the set number of rounds as fast as you can.

Which means the two boards never mix. A run that ranks first here would sit far down a high round board, and the other way around.

The rules are those of the room itself : no leaving the spawn, no exploit that skips it. What changes is the clock — it starts when the player spawns into the map and stops when the number of the next round appears.

Every time is backed by its video, as everywhere else on ZFRR. Send yours through the contact form and it goes up within the day.
