This CODMAS, an undead version of Santa Claus, Zombie Santa, wreaking havoc in Warzone. Tracking down and defeating Zombie Santa in Warzone isn't the easiest task, but the rewards are certainly worth it. Let's go over where to find and everything you need to know to defeat the soulless Santa in the battle royale from Call of Duty.

Where to find Zombie Santa

Zombie Santa is exclusive to the brand-new Slay Ride Resurgence Playlist in Warzone. However, there are a couple of different spots where you can confront Santa Gnaws.

The first place you'll find St. Nick is at Santa's Safehouse. To get to Santa's Safehouse, you must deploy to one of the six Deck the Halls tree-themed capture points and upgrade it to Tier 3. This will force a Black Site Key and a Black Site Portal to appear. Enter the Black Site Portal to teleport directly to Santa's Safehouse!

If you miss Zombie Santa at Santa's Safehouse - don't worry - he'll be back later! Toward the end of the match, Zombie Santa will appear atop Santa's Slay, a reskinned variant of the train that travels through Urzikstan. Board the train and take out the zombified Santa before he checks you off his naughty list!

Zombie Santa is essentially a Juggernaut but with the ability to teleport and summon festive Zombies. Whenever you deal significant damage to Zombie Santa, he'll either teleport to a different room in Santa's Safehouse or onto another carriage on Santa's Slay. Furthermore, undead Santa will raise a crowd of seasonal Zombies and sic them on you to complicate things.

When hunting Father Christmas, keep in mind that there's only one Zombie Santa. Other squads will be chasing Zombie Santa, too, so Santa's Safehouse and Santa's Slay will almost always be crawling with enemy players. If you want to take down Zombie Santa, prepare to battle and defeat groups of opposing Operators.

What do you get for defeating Zombie Santa?

When bested, Zombie Santa drops a Custom LMG Minigun, a ton of Cash, and other top-tier goodies like Killstreaks, Durable Gas Masks, and Munitions Boxes. On top of that, Dispatching Santa for the first time is one of the hidden challenges in Santa’s Slayground and awards the Santa Gnaws Emblem.

That's the basics of finding and defeating Zombie Santa in Warzone. Pursue Zombie Santa to Santa's Safehouse or Santa's Slay and be the first squad to defeat him to unlock exclusive, themed rewards as part of CODMAS.

Thanks to CODMAS, there's brand-new seasonal content in MW3 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone!
