Morgendämmerung der Toten

"Witness the dawn of a new adversary at the Iron Sky Facility."

- Map description

Morgendämmerung der Toten, also known as Chapter I: Dawn of the Dead, is the second (chronologically the first) Zombies map in the Black Ice Zombies storyline. It is set at the Iron Sky Facility, Black Ice's headquarters.

The map's story follows Black Ice Doctor Wilhelm Schultz as he finalizes a bio-weapon that he intends to use on the Allied Powers during the Second World War. Peter Mathias Müller, Ernst Von Schnee and Ilse Kissling are all present to witness Wilhelm Schultz's breakthrough achievement.

The map also features a Main Easter Egg, several Minor Easter Eggs and a single Musical Easter Egg.

Overview
Like "Excavation Site 64", Morgendämmerung der Toten uses the same layout as both "Der Riese" and "The Giant" but has been greatly expanded in size. In this iteration, the Teleporters are replaced with Black Ice Communications Stations along with numerous equipment specific to their area of the map. However, the Teleporter where players spawn is instead a Prime Power Generator, a more larger and powerful variant of the Power Generators from "Excavation Site 64".

The Perk-A-Colas are located in the same spots while Wall Weapons are located in different locations. Also unlike "Excavation Site 64", this map replaces the Mystery Box with a Black Ice Weapons Crate which functions the same as the Mystery Box.
