Rave in the Cave

“Rave in the Cave” is a custom Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Zombies map set in a beachside concert inside of a cave. The map features a neon-lit stage with LED panels, surrounded by sandy beach areas, cliffside pathways, and hidden tunnels. Key gameplay spots include the VIP Lounge atop the cliffs and interactive DJ booths. Players navigate through rave-themed elements while collecting items to complete the Easter egg quest, culminating in a proposal event with a Gigantic Monkey Bomb distraction and the words “Will You Marry Me?” to allow for co-op gameplay to turn into a real life proposal.
