Once you’re in the Workshop, you’ll likely see a variety of user-generated maps and mods for the game.

Since you’re interested in finding zombie maps specifically, you need to narrow down the content and look for a section that allows you to filter or categorize the workshop content.
Within the filtering options, locate the Browse by Tag feature. From the available tags, find and select the Zombies tag.
This will filter the content to show only zombie-related maps and mods.

You have to look at a list of available Black Ops 3 zombie maps and choose one that interests you or that you’d like to download and play.
Pay attention to the sorting options at the top of the list.
These options allow you to customize how the maps are displayed.
For first-time players or those new to custom maps, consider selecting the Most Popular sorting option.
This will display maps that have gained popularity in the community.
After selecting Most Popular, look for an option that allows you to adjust the time period for which the maps are sorted.
Change the time period from One Week to All-Time.
This will show you the most popular zombie maps that have gained popularity over a longer period. By sorting maps by Most Popular and changing the time period to All-Time, you’ll find a list of high-quality and well-loved maps that have stood the test of time.
If you have a specific map in mind, you can use the search feature located at the top of the list.

Before the download begins, make sure that your Black Ops 3 game is closed.

Look for an option related to multiplayer or different game modes within the main menu.
Within the multiplayer or game modes section, locate and select the Private Game option.

Within the private game setup, look for an option labelled Change Map.
This option allows you to select a different map for the private match.

While in the game or the game’s lobby, find and access the Social menu.
Within the Social menu, look for an option that allows you to Manage the Party.
This option is used for configuring party settings for your gaming session. Inside the Manage the Party section, you’ll find various options related to party settings.
Depending on your preferences, you can change the Party Privacy setting.
This setting determines whether your party is open to other players joining or if it’s restricted.
In the same Manage the Party section, look for the Player Limit setting. This allows you to define the maximum number of players who can join your party.
