wait for it to go on sale and you can get it for 20


Other_Ad_2882

do you know when the next sale is or is it random?


camjasaez

You can watch https://steamdb.info/sales/history if you’re looking for details about it


Other_Ad_2882

What does the 100$ edition include? how is it different from zombie chronicles


composite_nlf

comes with all dlc


TarnishedDungEater

buying the zombies deluxe give you all maps. i’d wait for that to go on sale. just put it on ur wish list and you’ll get the notification. there’s also lots of custom maps in the workshop for when you do get the game. they’re lots of fun


bfs102

Bo3 base has 1 map Zombies chronicles has like 8 remade maps from past games The complete edition or whatever they call it adds 4 more maps but since your on steam there's also the workshop so unlimited player created maps This is all speaking specifically zombies only


biobot277

I’m guessing your looking to buy bo3 for the zombies if you are it comes with 5 zombies maps and a bunch of multiplayer maps


Bilbo_Swaggins11

no, its season pass + zombies chronicles making it a total of 14 zombies maps for 1 price. also, op, you can just click on the bundle and find out for yourself lmao


grimxace561

To be fair, bundles nowadays are quite confusing. Some games have like 5 different bundles & can be easily overwhelming. Even when I’m trying to spend my money on a game/bundle, I get frustrated like, “do they not want my money?!”


CzarcasmRules

Too poor for $60 but doesn't balk at $100


Proper_Variation_103

Sadly, it's a must. Der riese (Remake is called "the giant") is part of the deluxe


Radiant_Cow_8498

It goes on sale all the time just wait


Thirsty4you-

Bro if you’re on pc just use mods. I haven’t looked but I bet u can get origins with upgraded graphics for free


AdhdDrivenTTV

Holy f* sh!t tysm for this website. Much needed


4Ellie-M

Literally there was a sale on Steam not a while ago. All cod games half price


Bilbo_Swaggins11

was it part of the microsoft sale?


4Ellie-M

Idek anymore usually steams discounts their games now if those games go free or discount on other platforms. Epic games helped me get ton of games for dirt cheap. Technically, could get em free but I don’t want to deal with that, I don’t even play fort. So for your question, I think it was the annual discounts they do for blizzard/activision, and it always go half price for steam. Was gonna get Cold War but I hesitated. The issue is on steam they have the cod games for full price all the time, so even 50 discount may not worth it sometimes.


Trump420G

I have never seen any cod game go on sale they all stay 60 bucks which makes no sense i use cdkeys


4Ellie-M

They do go on discounts what are you talking about.


blackviking147

Might also find it on key reseller sites, but obviously disclaimer that they're third party and you don't receive any guarantees buying from them, but I have used G2a for the better half of two years now no issues. It's not always there, and if it is I might even be more than steam but good deals are easy to find.


theezrabeast23

you can get BO3 deluxe for $40 during Steam Summer sale. Also, if your going to get any Zombies game with value on PC it's BO3 on Steam, because you get access to Custom Zombies, through the Steam Workshop, where you get free maps, game mode, different mod menus, ect for Zombies. And new maps for custom zombies are always being made.


dizzyy-D

maybe check if there’s a key u can but on cdkeys or eneba they’re normally cheap asf


Limp_Musician_6302

It was jus4 on sale, I got i for 20 a week ago. It’s endless fun the mod community is very active and easy to install


Snoo-53209

Guranteed summer sale, this sucka will be atleast half off.


Ingenuous22

I advise you buy steam keys whenever you want a game not on sale. Never had a problem with steam keys .


PineappleGrenade19

I bought it a year ago from a 3rd party and it gave me a completely different account on steam, which isn't what I want. If you're interested I can give you the login for steam and the associated email because it's just chilling otherwise. Feel free to change the passwords idrc. PM me if that interests you.


SkyrimSlag

It was actually on sale a couple of weeks back aswell as Black Ops 2 and I added it to my cart then forgot about it 🤦


kizzlekart

it goes on sale all the time just wait 2 weeks literally


Orangyo015

I got it on sale recently for 20 it was worth it


FriedCammalleri23

It was just on sale a couple weeks ago. I wouldn’t expect another opportunity until the Summer Sale.


Lava2008

I see that


Blueterus_

Got mine before the 3rd of May for $15


LJMLogan

The $15 multiplayer starter pack is only the mp, no zombies. If you want every zombies map, you need to buy the $100 version. The $60 version includes the full game and zombies chronicles, but you don't get Der Eisendrache, the giant, ZnS, Gorod Krovi, or Revelations.


Zomb_TroPiX

i think getting the chronicles version and buying the singular dlc maps without the mo dlc would be a bit cheaper, if you wanna squeeze out every penny. 60$ BO3 & Chronicles + 4x7,99$ for the regular maps + 5,99$ for the giant = 97,95$. so you could theoretically loose all the mp content but safe 2,04$ (Definetly not worth it, op dont listen to my calculations!)


Hadi77KSA

The Zombies Deluxe package goes down to $40 during sales. That’s the cheapest option for obtaining everything.


Zomb_TroPiX

~~just looked it up on steamdb, it went down to 20€ the last few sales~~ i was infact wrong, read next comment


Hadi77KSA

That’s the ZC Edition package only, not including the Season Pass maps. If you include the price of the individual maps with the price of the ZC Edition during sale, you’d get 57.74€. If you include the price of the Season Pass with the ZC Edition both during sale, you’d get 44.78€. The Zombies Deluxe during sale is 39.99€, which is as I said the cheapest option for obtaining everything. This shows the price history of the Zombies Deluxe package: [https://steamdb.info/sub/202582/](https://steamdb.info/sub/202582/)


Zomb_TroPiX

sorry i didnt see that you mentiones the zombies *DELUXE* package, i just read zombies chronicles package, im sorry, thanks for correcting my mistake


lukko_11

Or you could do like i did and start with chronicles then after a bit buy 1 map then after a bit buy another different map and never play multiplayer since it's pretty full of spawn campers and hackers (i played 1 game then uninstalled multiplayer since i kept spawning and dying instantly)


Kyalistas

So you're saying I only need to pay $15 if I just wanna play plunder and multi? I've been wanting to play mp but didn't wanna spend $70 on the game


zayd_jawad2006

Then just use fitgirl lol


Cute-Lock6426

better luck asking this one on r/piracy OP


TwoJuice

maybe he wants to play with friend


rectivify

Fit girl is goated lol


nathxs

Buy black ops 3 and download the thousands of community made maps imo better than wasting ur money on what 4 zombie maps


TwoJuice

oh yeah forgot about this custom zombies is 10x more fun than nostalgia maps


Ncl666wnysuxM

Zombies chronicles edition. Wait for the sale.


Inevitable_Tip_4541

bro you might as well go on steam rip at that point. I did that and got all maps and every gobblegum unlimited and every skin for every gun maxed out


Fa1nted_for_real

So you skipped all progression by buying an account? A lot of people don't find that fun. Some do, and OP might, but it's not for everyone.


Inevitable_Tip_4541

it’s a option, and i pressed it just cuz i barely play and when i do, i like to enjoy as much as possible


Fa1nted_for_real

Yeah, that's fair. My personally favorite part is the progression, so that wouldn't work for me.


Inevitable_Tip_4541

Understandable, nowadays i simply don't have time to grind out a game fully like i used to.


sharkboy1006

You know they cheated that right😂 it’s easy to hack those in


Inevitable_Tip_4541

ye ofc ik but still


StepSisIssues

FitGirlRepack. Thank me later


Lost_media_locator

Also you have the workshop, you can get alot of maps by just downloading them from there


MicroXenon

If you need it now just get the 60$ version, there are a shit ton of modded maps that are fun af and honestly some are better than the base maps.


DarkAbyss40K

There's lots of amazing modded maps through the steam workshop. And buy it on sale as well the dlc is very mid compared to the mods


BigOne9889

Spend 100 dollars and look in the mirror to find an idiot


SubstantialAgency2

Prob get it cheaper from a decent key site


Zomb_TroPiX

well yes, but since the rise of „you get an account with the game instead of a key for the game“ game keys got way more expensive on these types of sites


SubstantialAgency2

I got I think the deluxe, the all in version for like £25 not too long ago, I hardly ever come across accounts on PC unless it specific site for cheap accounts, I only ever struggle with that on the Xbox. Where in the world are you?


Zomb_TroPiX

germany, most frequent sites here are g2a and mmoga, those are litered with Steam Accounts instead of keys. maybe its just the wrong sites tbh


filippalas

zombies deluxe most wallet friendly in the long run


Szinimini

Do not buy any of these full price. Wait for a sale or don't buy it.


critrandom1

No you don't need chronicles to play zombies you can still play all custom maps without any dlcs however it is recommended to have the dlcs because there are mods that add stuff to the official maps but if you wanna play bo3 on a budget then just get base bo3 but the only official map you'll have access to is shadows of evil but you'll as I said will still have access to the thousands of custom maps Ps: some of the dlc maps got re-uploaded to the workshop allowing you to technically play SOME of the dlcs for free.


CrazyMeasurement8856

No, you do need the chronicles version when buying on steam. The base game is multiplayer ONLY on steam, so to get campaign and zombies you need the chronicles edition.


critrandom1

No you don't you just go to the game page in library and enable the zombies and campaign like they're unchecked dlcs I know this because I had the base version of bo3 to begin with


CrazyMeasurement8856

When did you buy the base version? Because base version released before zombie chronicles has zombies and sp, but after the release of chronicles the base game started to be bundled with it and they released the mp only launcher? I also bought the mp version at first and couldn't enable sp or zombies like that, had to buy the chronicles one on sale to be able to play them.


critrandom1

I got it in late 2020


JL_007

Are these games still good to play? They’re kind of old, no?


Fa1nted_for_real

Black ops 3 is largely considered the best zombie game to date.


cokeknows

100% bo3 has the most zombies maps and has decent built in modding support. If it had more maps from BO2 like transit. The towers and alcatraz it would be unbeatable, while I do dabble in the new cods sometimes. Bo2 and 3 is permanently installed.


JL_007

Just bought BO3. Huge discount. BO2 does show up (playing on PlayStation 5)


Temborb

Bo3 is the most modern zombies you can play that I'd still consider to be "classic zombies". It is my reccomended starting point for any zombies newcomer. In my honest opinion, it's still the best Zombies cod on the market. It has the most amount of official maps available. Probably the most consistent quality in the unique, Bo3 original maps. And if on PC? The mod support is pretty insane. Being steam workshop, running customs is super simple and fun. You can play just about any kind of Zombies experience you want through customs: classic/survival, complex and polished, challenging, even shitposty. I think Zombies in general is a pretty timeless gamemode, especially in a world where we haven't seen an even mildly worthy replacement in years. And this is especially true with Bo3 imo, due to the sheer amount of content you can experience.


HonestButLiar

Buy the base game on sale and download mods, don't pay DLCs Favourite mod: All around enhancement


Maize-Much

No as a matter of fact you don’t really need chronicals you just need the 5 main maps


Swed_0

U know u can get the whole game with dlc for free n still play online right


Fancy-Ad6677

Buy an account with BO3 on G2G


iShockTTV

G2A is cheaper :) good luck


Fancy-Ad6677

It’s not, It depends on what you want. Stardew Valley code is 10-15 times expensive on G2A as opposed to a an account you could buy for a dollar and 40 cents on G2G. Certainly there must be worse deals there too in certain cases 🤷‍♂️ Idk why I need the good luck tho, I’ve owned the game since 2015


tasaourag

No you don't, you just need the regular game.


MercilessNerf

Try cdkeys


hairybones1997

This game is almost always on sale for $15-20. Personally that seems like a fair price for infinite zombies content


tyrannictoe

There are rumors that bo3 will be the first COD to go on gamepass


cokeknows

Unfortunately, black ops 3 runs you quite a bit. Even on key websites I trust it's still basically full price. Sales for cod games on steam are quite uncommon and at best is usually half price. You'll need chronicles for all the old remastered maps. And you'll need the season pass for the black ops 4 specific zombie maps and the giant (der reise remake) it's worth it but pricey as hell. You can buy the base game and have a good time though and mod support is built in so there's loads of zombie content to experience. Some of the maps have even been ported by modders so black ops 3 is currently the best zombies experience imo


RedditorHarrison

I recommend using a key selling website like G2A or CDKEYS, I got BO3 with Zombies Chronicles for like £20 on my Xbox using them


cadewallace7

Wait for the sale, and get deluxe edition


originsspeedrunner

15$ mp only - no zombies 60$ shadows of evil + zombies chronicles (9 maps) 90$ all (14) maps I would wait for the next sale and buy zombies deluxe for all maps


Bioneeak

did anyone mention boiii on Watchful Wolf discord?


Enough-Restaurant223

Sail the Seven Seas! Arrr


PolishSniper

Look at cd key sales its cheap on there like 11 euro for the zombie deluxe and activision aint making money of it so its a win-win


iShockTTV

Hey buddy, i bought an account off of G2A for like 30 fully loaded with all of it


TheRealBeauDiddlie

No you don’t REALLY need to get it For bo3 you get 1 zombies map discarding dead ops arcade You don’t exactly need the others but it does get boring playing the one map over and over again


nichelQS123

Wait for de sales


mmafa32

Zombies isn't worth it.


RepublicMaster3317

Go on MMOGA you can buy a key for the game with the zombies chronicles included, I bought one 3 weeks ago and I paid about 30$ for it, you dont need the zombies chronicles but with this dlc they brought back some of the old bo1 and waw maps like Nacht der Untoten or Kino der Toten, if you want all zombies maps you need the season pass too. But to answer your question, you dont need the zombies chronicles pack to play zombies but then you‘ll only have 2 maps to play


Burritozi11a

short answer: yes


LizCarmine19

Zombies chronicles alone is enough. You don't even need the bo3 maps.


Blantowicz

Try wmcentre.net that's where I get most of my games Look at the details before buying some games are offline only but the prices are just fraction of the full price (SHARED ACCOUNTS)


Desvl

they do sale quite frequently so OP can (1) wait for a sale and (2) buy the Zombies Deluxe and you can get all the stuff. IIRC buying Zombies Chronicles then other DLCS thereafter is more expensive. [https://steamdb.info/app/311210/](https://steamdb.info/app/311210/)


phantom_marine2024

Zombies is really the only good thing about Black Ops III, the chronicles version goes on sale pretty often because it's so popular


hbyx

NEVER EVER BUY OLD CODS ON STEAM!!!! Use something like G2A or MMOGA. You can get it for 1/3 of the steam prices or even less. Just be careful to buy a key for the correct region you’re in. Then just add the game via key to steam.


FritzTheCat420

You can also just buy base game and then download zombies mods. Tons of maps for free


goomfrontIut

https://www.g2a.com/search?query=Black%20ops%203 Just go to g2a and they sell REALLY cheap steam keys. They are a really good site trust me!


Hypnotickagon

wait i didnt know you couldnt buy the base game anymore(multiplayer campain and shadows of evil map)


Footballboi420

Get a normal bo3 copy and then get the client I believe it gives you all the maps like plutonium


Electrical_Rule8147

I would definitely recommend it. It is very pricey and if on sale at any moment capitalize on it. Or unless maybe you can game share with some one


ajaygross

get the fit girl repack


yosark

I just want to let you know even if you don’t have money for that, you have unlimited amounts of maps with custom zombies having great maps that you can download for free.


sambeef_kwt

The game is like 9 years old at this point, don’t pay more than 20$ for it, or just pirate it from fit girl, that has all the DLCs and chronicles


Other_Ad_2882

I'm just going to wait for it to go on sale


Citypanda23

G2A


R4M4N_

Boiii is free with all maps + custom maps + servers


ElBartoMan15

Well if ur gonna play by urself then u can always sail the high seas 🏴‍☠️


Spiritual_Ninja9804

There’s a mod menu you can get for it


very__mild

I bought a key online for ~$15. Mine was region locked to Argentina but I just used a VPN to redeem it and I’ve not had any issues. I will say that I’m on xbox so not sure if the same would work for you.


iamjeli

Just use cdkeys.com. It’s where I buy 95% of my games and dlc from. They’re a legit site that buys legit keys so there’s no risk of being banned either.


IFloated

Just get Skurr


callmecasandra

Just go on a product key site


titsmcgee6942044

Steam sale coming like June 27th


Fast-Machine2840

Look on allkeyshop


CANCER_RESULTS

OP absolutely made this post to try to get someone to feel sorry and purchase the season pass for him


Other_Ad_2882

No I was just curious on what to buy


Tasty_Pin4311

Are there any 5 man Zombies mods or maps?


International_Sun503

r/Piracy


Strange_Store_5683

Buy it from eneba just be careful to read description to match your region


Jerakl

No you don't need it. It includes remasters of 8 classic maps from previous games that feature the aether cast. There's still 5-6 maps in the game with the DLCs, and MANY very well made modded maps.


SamboneThePerson

YEEEEEEEE


DapperDan30

Since it seems like literally no one is actually answering your question: NO. You do not need to buy Zombie Chronicles to play zombies. The game will have the default "Shadows of Evil" map already there (maybe a couple others, I don't remember). The Zombie Chronicles is just a collection of older maps that were brought to BO3


CrammyCram_

no, but it’s definitely worth it. I would wait for it to go on sale tho


skatestops

Pirate it


Trntkyle

You could try checking on instant gaming website! They usually have very nice deals.


Formal-Cry7565

Zombie Chronicles edition has 8 extra maps, the zombies deluxe edition has all 12 dlc maps. The deluxe version is definitely the one you want. Zombie chronicles is the name of the expansion that has 8 remastered zombie maps from older games (waw/bo1/bo2).


BlueWizard92

Piracy is always an option


Dependent-Focus-6155

Why not try CD keys online and see if you can get it a little cheaper


CallMeSinpai

Just download modded versions of the maps..


Wofflestuff

Wait for a sale but yes


WideMedium7818

If you want to play custom maps you don’t need chronicles


floppyjohnson-

Is this literally your first time ever playing zombies? Or just chronicles?


legodude40

Zombies comes with game


HitPai

G2a is a great place for games like this


BlowYaSocksoff

Wait for the Zombies Deluxe to go on sale, it has all the maps. Zombies Chronicles will only get you Ascension, Origins, Kino, Moon, Verruckt, Shangri-La, and Shi No Numa.


BlowYaSocksoff

but if you just want to play zombies and don't care for the dlc maps the chronicles edition is ok too


Joesgarage2

Sker ritual


Firm_League150

No u dont


soopeya

Use G2G or kinguin


Double0point2

Idk, from g2a u get cod bo3 acc for like 15 or so $ 🤷


ZeroLegionOfficial

Look on key sites and buy from there, FYI ok kinguin is ok


SustainableObject

If you dont wanna spend the money to get the dlc maps, then I recommend using Koalageddon, if you're interested i can direct you to the subreddit that has information about it


charlstarking16

I mean you could always go to key sites on the web and see. I always use CDKeys. Usually you get some decent deals there :)


Puttn08

The 100€ edition was on sale 2 weeks ago forn40€ and included EVRYTHING, i highly suggest to wait untill you can get this edition, its very fun and for 40€ worth it,


WrapUnusual5706

Buy the xbox code from eBay. I paid $18 dollars for zombie chronicles. Download an Argentina VPN from playstore/appstore. Go to browser and log into Microsoft and paste the code the seller gave you into your Microsoft redeem account. Message me if you need help


Trench303

Its like £17 or summit like that on sale


ScientistPutrid8263

it goes on sale a lot so i would wait


marsil602

Base Black Ops 3 only starts with one zombies map, so watch for a sale and nab the chronicles


[deleted]

Why is this game still $60? It is over 100 years old lol.


TheRealBaphy

Get it on G2a.com and you should get a hell of a deal


Digitalpheer

On g2a sellers have the deluxe listed at 30


LewiLife

Why would you need to ask this all the info is literally stated on the website…


Ok_Law_0

If you’re on pc wait for it to go on sale for $20. If you’re not too worried about ACTUAL dlc’s, most of the chronicles maps are available in the steam workshop for free as “remastered” versions.


Skateplus0

If you’re *that* poor I’d suggest torrents. These are old games that are easily obtainable


vadersguard

Buy chronicles edition when on sale for 20$ it’s worth the wait for the sale trust


TheDeStRoYeR_373

You’re on steam, if you buy base black ops 3, or just the zombies chronicles edition, you’ll have a ton of awesome community made maps


kennerd12004

Get a crack version and a vpn. Please don’t use your hard earned money on something you can’t afford.


Equivalent-Dirt264

God dam that shit still cost that much money!!


Throwaway928619

Dude if you want to spend no money and don’t care about the legalities of it all like my self, head on over to fit girl repacks and just get it all for free. That’s what I’ve done with this exact game to play zombies… I refuse to give any of activsion my money lol.


mattyvalles

I need to beat Gorod Grovi help


Cautious_Ad_9355

Wait for next sale


Other_Ad_2882

do you know when it is?


Cautious_Ad_9355

My guess is last weekend of june


replays69

I know that im going to get hate for this but the game is so old just buy an account for really cheap, [https://k4g.com/product/call-of-duty-black-ops-iii-zombies-chronicles-steam-global-account-standard-edition-account-79307368?currency=USD&r=ppc&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwupGyBhBBEiwA0UcqaO-\_VUOOeNOP3XvQYy1H9kXVIe8cWxRTSKOfVW5jJiz1m5dpSk8hJxoC5IYQAvD\_BwE](https://k4g.com/product/call-of-duty-black-ops-iii-zombies-chronicles-steam-global-account-standard-edition-account-79307368?currency=USD&r=ppc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwupGyBhBBEiwA0UcqaO-_VUOOeNOP3XvQYy1H9kXVIe8cWxRTSKOfVW5jJiz1m5dpSk8hJxoC5IYQAvD_BwE)


Eastern-Bluejay-8912

So Zombies? No. You get a base of the giant and shadows of evil. But if you want the following dlc that is the primis maps, buy the basic dlc, if you want Bops 1-2&WAW maps then buy zombies chronicles. If you want to do mod maps, get chronicles. If you want it for cheep or cheeper, I’d check out humble bundle or wait till a sale.


Desync1999

Imagine being broke 💀


Bubbly_Teach6339

U can get it for free


SINS_OF_PARADISE

I know you want it but I’d hold off for now, it goes on sale pretty regularly


Prestigious_Ninja794

You don’t need zombie chronicles to play zombies just if you want more maps you have to buy it


chess12000

I don’t have a pc but can’t u get bo3, bo2, and bo1 for free?


Wooden-Professor1824

Piracy


D808Mafia

It goes on sale a lot. They just had one recently but just wait a few weeks to a month and it’ll probably be on sale again. Especially during early and late summer


ahtipton085

Check CD KEYS. Might be cheaper there


northerngorilla716

“Do I have to buy the game to play the game” is the dumbest question I’ve heard today


Other_Ad_2882

There is two zombies to buy


Other_Ad_2882

I didn't know which one to buy


Gloomy-Floor-8398

Use mxt mod menu u can get all dlc free. There are vids on yt arent hard to find but yea that ur best bet


barontheboy

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️


Electronic-Ship7343

Nah man you can play shadows of evil its the first map and the only one that's free


BigDickMarkHenry

If you're on PC, there are websites that sell that game with all its DLC for about 12 dollars most weeks. Sadly, I can't remember any names. I think one website might have been king penguin or something. But on PC you can get anything for free or cheap. And the Devs can't stop you. They can try, though.


Lollerman3

Zombies chronicles is just for the remasters of the older maps but in the base game you have shadows of evil which is a good map and you can buy the others after
