Weapons[]
Armoury[]
The Armoury is an in-game armoury, similar to the Prestige Armoury. With the news of the game being primarily Campaign and Zombies focused, the Armoury included customization options for the Four Survivors which included helmets, hats, accessories, jackets, pants, and boots. However, only skins were able to be used in the Four Survivors campaign. Outfits were available in the Armoury which gave players the freedom to choose between having full control of their character's appearance, or having an outfit preset.
The Specialized Weapon Variants can be used in both Haley's campaign and the Four Survivors campaign, however in Haley's campaign, skins are not able to be used. With Packages, Specialized Weapon Variants not added in Crates will be available to earn.
Every item in the Armoury has a rarity level and are distributed through Packages, a lootbox system used for Armoury items. Alongside Packages are Credits which can be used as an alternative to earning items through Packages. The only way to earn Credits is through completing challenges and getting them in Packages. Each item in a single rarity cost the same amount of Credits.
- Common (150 cR)
- Uncommon (300 cR)
- Rare (500 cR)
- Epic (750 cR)
- Legendary (1,000 cR)
- Ancient (2000 cR)
The Limited rarity is used for items that are available for a limited time only, meaning players would need to complete certain challenges or simply log into the game during a time period to unlock Limited rarity items. With the release of the Wiki Users event week, the Ultimately Limited rarity was created only for the skins and Specialized Weapon Variants included as the skins also included voice lines from the users.
An (SD), (AF), (EMA), (TF), (HAZ), (SF), (501st I), (501st C) are items added with the Specialized Drop, Assault Forces, Eclipse Military Armory, Tactical Forces, HAZ Division, Special Forces, 501st Zombies: Isolation, and 501st Zombies: Chernobyl updates respectively.

After attacking what appeared to be a Red Star facility, they discover an enemy assisting the Infected and what is called the Hive. They interrogate a Shadows of Darkness member and learn about the Infected Gravemind. To which they are later found by said Gravemind. They then chased to Bilbao, a Neutral Spanish industrial port city, where they are trapped by the Infected Gravemind and must kill it before it can cause damage to 501st forces in Europe.
Overlords of the Hive[]
With the death of the Infected Gravemind and the threat of it neutralized, Rose Ten are contacted and brought to the Neutral Swiss 501st HQ in Geneva, Switzerland where it has once been the HQ of the GIGN and SAS during a civil war with the Red Star Federation. They learn that the Infected have overrun most of Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Oceania regions. They also learn that the Hive seem to have command over the Infected through their Hive Overlords, and are sent to neutralize these Overlords in the Berlin Ruins.
Supremacy of the Hive[]
With Rose Ten well rested, they are briefed by a 501st General about the Hive and their connection to the Infected and the Shadows of Darkness. They are also told that they are the only unit of the Roses battalion that survived the attacks by the Infected and Hive. Meanwhile the HQ is attacked by a combined force of Infected, Hive, and Shadows of Darkness with most of the 501st personnel being killed in minutes.

Thwarting the launch of NAKA Chemical Missiles, Rose Ten retreats to Federal Japan where a large force of 501st Corporation soldiers with Fallen Brotherhood allies have been holding up. Commanded by someone who was thought to be dead, the Captain of the Roses battalion Haley Marcy Rose still lives.

However, a large Hive attack force arrives at their location and everyone is ordered to defend the base.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Call of Duty: Awakening of the Hive is the second Call of Duty game to feature online campaign co-op and offline split-screen co-op. The first being Call of Duty: Black Ops III. However this is only available in the Four Survivors campaign.
- When the Season Pass was announced, Morningwood Arts tweeted out "ROSES," hinting at the five DLCs coming to the game post-launch.
- "R" was the initial of the "Rise" in the first DLC.
- "O" was the initial of the "Overlords" in the second DLC.
- The first "S" was the initial of "Supremacy" in the third DLC.
- "E" was the initial of "Escalated" in the fourth DLC.
- The second "S" was the initial of "Shadows" in the fifth DLC.
- Many players have complained that playing on Hopeless difficulty was too hard, however they did not demand a change as it had presented a very tough but worthy challenge.
- Players, fans, and YouTubers have joked about Nakamura Interactive's use of the same weapons from other Morningwood Arts Call of Duty games.
- Due to timeline conflicts with Campaign and Cooperative, the storyline of Cooperative was stated to be an alternate timeline rather than having it in the same timeline as the Campaign which would conflict with its events.
- Despite being listed as available only on the Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Neo versions of the Xbox One and PS4 respectively, the game is nonetheless still playable on those consoles.
- The Specialized Drop update was the only content update that included weapon camouflages. All updates past the Specialized Drop never introduced more.
Campaign[]
- Like the first game, if the player is idle too long or stares at an NPC for a long period of time, they will say something to the player. These were included in for humourous purposes.
- A list of what Haley will say to the player if idle too long.
- "Hey, Thomas! Drop the chips, we got work to do!"
- "Thomas, you're scaring me. Are you awake, or you sleeping with eyes open?"
- "Come on, Thomas! You can daydream about ladies later!"
- "Fine. You want to stay here while our mission fails?"
- "You're going to be telling the Chiefs why we never finished our mission, Thomas."
- "Hey, get your head back in the game and let's go."
- A list of what Haley will say to the player if staring at her too long.
- "What? Something on your mind, Fall?"
- "You know, the last guy who was staring at me that long ended up with a broken nose."
- "I hope you are not staring where I think you are."
- "You wanna confess? Go ahead!"
- "There. I blinked. You won."
- "Thomas, you won our staring contest twice."
- A list of what the NPCs will say to the player if idle too long.
- "Psst. Thomas, the Commander is watching."
- "I don't think Thomas is feeling alright, ma'am."
- "Stop daydreaming about the Commander, Toms."
- "Come on, Thomas."
- "Snap out of it, Toms."
- "Brass aren't going to approve of your daydreaming!"
- A list of what NPCs will say to the player if staring at them too long.
- "You need something, Thomas?"
- "Yeah, I'm ugly. Lead the way."
- "I'm not moving from this spot, Thomas."
- "But I just got here."
- "Why are you staring at me like that?"
- "I have a girlfriend, Thomas. Well sort of."
- A list of what Haley will say to the player if idle too long.
- In the Four Survivors Campaign, if there is a player with the Haley Marcy Rose skin, and another with the Clan President Angel skin, Angel will say that Marcy looks similar to his younger sister Haley Fall.
- In the Eclipse Universe novel Rise of an Angel, Clan President Angel describes his younger sister Haley with brown hair, blue eyes, and being about 4'10" tall, and Haley Marcy has these exact same features.
