Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Sabotage Rave in the Redwoods Guide

This is a full guide to complete the Rave in the Redwoods zombies map.

The main game’s Zombies in Spaceland continues with this first content pack in Zombies Map 1: Rave in the Redwoods, which is Infinity Ward’s latest chapter in the Infinite Warfare Zombies DLC adventure, called Rave in the Redwoods, that immerses players in an alternate universe.

It is the first installment in Zombies’s four-part episodic narrative driven by four returning characters. Namely, the story is told through the eyes of these four: AJ, Poindexter, Andre, Sally, along with special guest star Kevin Smith.

AJ – AKA “THE HIP HOP WANNABE” Bio:
Info: Originally cast as our lovable 80s Jock, AJ has now been catapulted into the 1990s where he must own the role of Hip Hopper, even if he’s a wannabe. Feeling like a fish out of water he’s doing his best to survive the night in the woods, no matter what tries to slice and dice him.

POINDEXTER – AKA “THE KANDI RAVER” Bio:
Info: Our favorite 80s nerd is back but this time he’s the life of the party. He came to rave the night away but it’s turned into survive the night, any way he and the crew can. With his intimate knowledge of Wyler’s work, the team continues to lean on him for any insight he can provide. Only problem, his Kandi Raver character wants to party……even when it’s time to fight.

ANDRE – AKA “THE GRUNGE ROCKER” Bio:
Info: Andre has had his fill of the 80s and is ready to shred the 90s. He can still rock a mic but this time around he’d rather shred a guitar. Making his debut in Rave in the Redwoods, Andre has come to rock this place into the ground one way or another….as long as the groupies don’t eat him first of course.

SALLY – AKA “THE WESTSIDE GANGSTA” Bio:
Info: From Valley Girl to Westside gangster, Sally has ditched her leg warmers for a pair of sagging khakis and a few tattoos. She may have lost her soft touch but she’s more than ready to bust some caps, split a few wigs and get all gangsta’ up in here. Westside!

KEVIN SMITH Bio:
Info: Kevin has been catapulted into Rave in the Redwoods by Willard Wyler. Left for dead and forgotten by the reclusive director, Kevin has a different plan. Escape this film any way he can and make Willard pay for what he’s put him through. With the help of our four heroes, together they might be able to put an end to the madness in the Redwoods.

Here’s how to get started in Rave in the Redwoods:

Intro: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Zombies saga continues with the first DLC’s “Rave in the Redwoods”.

After escaping the terrifying Zombies in Spaceland, our heroes are transported to an abandoned campground… the perfect site for Willard Wyler’s next horror masterpiece. Set in the ‘90s, the four actors find themselves in brand new roles, along with some fresh new threads. Together, they’ll team up to take on endless hordes of raver zombies and the mysterious Slasher, who’s on the prowl to add more “trophies” to his collection. With the help of some brutal new weapons and even director Kevin Smith (!), our heroes just might be able to put an end to the madness in the Redwoods.
