The Cold War Zombies intel locations in Firebase Z are a challenge on the newest Call of Duty Zombies map. Documents, Radio Transmissions, Audio logs and more add to an experience that already comes with a lot to do. This Intel, which consists of collectibles that are scattered around the map, might be causing some issues.
In total, there are 76 pieces of Cold War Zombies intel in Firebase Z to collect. They require you to complete trials, defeat enemies, or discover them by completing the map’s Easter Egg. In this guide, we’ll walk you through finding all 76 pieces of Intel on the Firebase Z map. Do keep in mind, it’s highly recommended to be familiar with constructing the Wonder Weapon, along with the main Easter Egg, as we’ll be referencing both of those objectives multiple times throughout this guide.

Cold War Zombies Dark Aether intel - 16 pieces
Dark Aether Documents - 10 total
The nice thing about the Dark Aether documents is that they’re relatively straightforward to collect. All you have to do is complete Intel Trials, which are initiated from the computer in the main area of Firebase Z (by the teleporter).
You can earn up to three Dark Aether documents per match, so it’ll take you four matches total to earn all of them. Just make sure you complete the trials that are specifically for Intel, as the other ones won’t count.
Once you complete an Intel Trial, head back to the computer to collect it. Repeat this nine more times to collect all of them.
Dark Aether Radio Transmission - 1 total
This one is also found at the Trial computer in the main area of Firebase Z.
