When a new Call of Duty Zombies map arrives, rest assured it comes with a new tune to keep you entertained as you slay hordes of the undead – but there’s always a secret way to get the music pumping. And that’s true with the latest Black Ops 6 Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts.
Activision-owned developer Treyarch has previously collaborated with big-name artists like Eminem and Avenged Sevenfold for its Zombies map easter egg music, but the new Citadelle des Morts map features a track from one of the most common music artists for Call of Duty Zombies: Kevin Sherwood.
If you want to trigger the new Easter Egg song in Black Ops 6 Zombies, you’ll need to interact with three items hidden around the map. Here’s where to find them.

Finding the three pairs of hidden headphones on the Citadelle des Morts
If you’re trying to start the new song, Slave, you should find three pairs of headphones scattered in and around the castle. Here’s where they are — lined up near the player spawn area on the map.
First pair of headphones
The first pair of headphones can be found right next to where you spawn.
The first set of headphones is easy to find as you don’t need to open any doors to hunt them down. Right in front of the player spawn, you’ll find a tavern with an upgrade station, a workbench, and an armor upgrade.
On the first floor of the tavern, against the bumper wall buy (the armor purchase section outlined in chalk), the headphones are sitting at a small table. You’ll know you’ve successfully interacted with the pair of headphones if you hear a high-pitched chirping noise — then you can move on to the next pair.
You can find the first pair where the player icon is on this card:
A second pair of headphones
The second pair of headphones is located in the castle courtyard.
To find the second pair of headphones, you want to buy the door of the right side of your spawn. After making your way up the alley and past the Speed Cola machine, you’ll need to buy the portcullis that protects you from the courtyard.
Run up the ramp and turn right in the lower courtyard area. If turning right takes you to buy the door to the room with the Melee Machiatto machine, you’ve gone too far and must go back to the castle entrance.
C a small alcove overlooking the portcullis you just boughtyou’ll find the second pair of headphones for the easter egg.
You can find the second pair of headphones where the player icon is on this card:
A third pair of headphones
You’ll need to head deep into the castle to find the third pair of headphones.
The third and final pair of headphones is in the castle. This means you have to aim the cannon at the railings and fire it at the main hall before you can complete the musical easter egg.
Once you are in the castle you want to buy door on the left. This will take you to another room with a second door – buy it it directs you down into the catacombs of the castle.
Once you reach this area, you’ll find a charred corpse sitting on a couch, right next to a table with a walkie-talkie and a chess board. If you look on the floor to the left of the couch, you’ll find the last pair of headphones needed to activate Kevin Sherwood’s new track.
You can find the third pair of headphones where the player icon is on this map:
The map is layered for different floors of the castle, so this picture will make a lot more sense after you buy the door to the catacombs.
Once you activate the third and final headset, the easter egg song should automatically start playing for you as you continue to fight the zombie horde.
