There are a series of doors you’re going to need to open for points. You can accumulate these points by slaying the zombies and picking up the perks they drop for extra bonuses. Here’s everything you need to know.

How to turn on the power in Call of Duty Cold War Zombies

Start by opening up the door from the Yard to the inside building for 500 points. It’s the main building and only accessible area from the outside starting zone. Head to the door, and interact with it once you have the proper amount of points.

You now have access to the building, where you will have to wait out another wait of zombies to accumulate enough cash to proceed to the next step. There’s a neon purple arrow inside pointing you up some stairs of the Living Room, which leads to a blockade. Blow up this area using 750 points, and you should now have access up to the roof.

Make your way to the top of the building, and you will get to another blockade. Use another explosive on this for 1,000 points to blow up the blockade. You now have access to the Crash Site behind the building, where you’ll see a crashed plane.

Next, go past the Jugger-Nog machine, down to the right, and you will reach another barrier. For 1,250 Points, you can plant another C4 here to destroy the blockade and get access to the inside facility.

Go inside, hang a left, and go into the double doors through the Tunnel. Make your way through the double door into the Medical Bay, then head straight and you will see another explosive area on the left. Blow this up for another 1,500 Points.

Make your way through the Particle Accelerator room, and you will get to one final door before the power station. The final door costs you another 1,750 Points to open.
