Time to explore the best ways to earn the new Refined & Flawless aetherium crystals in Black Ops Cold War Zombies. I'll compare the new Outbreak mode to traditional wave survival when it comes to farming crystals, then discuss the best new tier 4 & 5 upgrades for all the weapons, perks, field upgrades, and ammo mods. Finally, I'll look at how well Outbreak does for fast XP, weapon XP, and battle pass rates versus traditional Zombies. The XP may be poor, but this may very well be the fastest / most accessible weapon XP in the game!
