Twitch streamer sets outrageous Black Ops Zombies record after 20-day grind ActivisionA longstanding Call of Duty Zombies record has been broken, with Twitch streamer \u2018TomPhantasy\u2019 blitzing ahead of the previous Nacht Der Untoten round-count by nearly 40 after a monster 20-day grind. Although Treyarch is constantly pushing new Zombies maps in Black Ops Cold War, for some, there are still old favorites that are yet to be truly mastered. Some of the most dedicated grinders out there have been pushing boundaries in many classic Zombies maps over the past few years and now, another longstanding record has been broken. Popular Zombies streamer TomPhantasy kicked off a new run in Black Ops 3\u2019s Nacht Der Untoten on July 2. A whopping 20 days later and he finally ended the session with a new world record after clearing 255 rounds. With hundreds of viewers cheering him on live, the 255-round mark was cause for celebration, after almost 300 hours of very, very hard work. \u201cWas in this game for just under 20 days,\u201d TomPhantasy said on Twitter. Throughout the record-breaking session, he was only downed twice. First at round 220, and again at round 249, both of which would still have resulted in a new record after clearing the previous best of 216 rounds set by \u2018Chihiro-516.\u2019 \u201cThe Zombies community has been supporting me for months when I have been attempting this record through the highs and lows,\u201d the streamer told Dexerto, shortly after cementing his spot atop the global leaderboards. As for the biggest motivating factor behind the lengthy run, TomPhantasy revealed how the game itself demands a huge amount of effort: \u201cI knew I had to keep going, because after 24.8 days the game freezes,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis meant I had to play 13+ hours per day for those 25 days.\u201d Nacht Der Untoten Round 255 World Record. Was in this game for just under 20 days. 2 downs (Round 220 and 249). 1252 trades throughout the game and a 5.2 minute trade average. Thank you for all the love on the streams it means a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/yMQR3HJ3Ol \u2014 Tom \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddea (@TomPhantasy) July 22, 2021 Should he have taken a day to rest, there\u2019s every chance he may not have hit the record before seeing Black Ops 3 crash to the home screen. \u201cOver the past year, I have just tested what causes crashes and kept minimal programs open to try and prevent the game ending. I had a lot of help from another zombies player xXSn1p3rC4TXx who also holds a Black Ops 3 World Record.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve had multiple long games end in freezes or power cuts,\u201d he said. One such heartbreak came in a \u201c100-hour\u201d run, when his power \u201csuddenly cut out.\u201d With dozens of Zombies maps to choose from, TomPhantasy was drawn to Nacht Der Untoten due to its \u201ccompletely unique\u201d design. \u201cIt\u2019s the only map on Black Ops 3 without a \u2018Pack A Punch machine or traps,\u201d he explained. But it\u2019s not the only stage he\u2019s set on conquering. Next up, the streamer has his sights set on Gorod Krovi, a 2016 Zombies map. The world record for Black Ops 3 arena is currently 228. \u201cThere is an unknown freeze\u201d on Gorod Krovi, TomPhantasy explained, one that \u201ccan happen at any time.\u201d If he can overcome this issue, another monumental stream may be on the horizon for this Zombies player. Meanwhile, those jumping into the latest Zombies offerings have been smashing records of their own. Most recently, a remarkable 675-round run was posted in Cold War\u2019s new Mauer Der Toten map earlier this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
