Killstreaks have long been a cornerstone feature of the *Call of Duty* series, and in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, they take the form of powerful Support items that can unleash devastating attacks on zombie hordes. The Dark Ops Challenge 'Harbinger of Doom' rewards players for their prowess in using these Killstreaks effectively.
Best Maps and Modes to Kill 100 Zombies with One Killstreak in Black Ops 6
*Black Ops 6* Zombies offers several modes to tackle the undead, including Standard, Directed, and the seasonal Jingle Hells mode. While Directed mode is popular among those grinding for camos due to its easier matches, it doesn't provide the large zombie hordes necessary for the Harbinger of Doom challenge. Therefore, Standard mode is your best bet for this challenge.
When choosing maps, it's crucial to select areas with ample open space to maximize the impact of your Support items. Maps like the Shipwreck on Terminus and the spawn area of Liberty Falls near Pump & Pay are ideal due to their expansive layouts, perfect for calling in your Killstreaks to take down 100 zombies at once.
Best Support to Use to Kill 100 Zombies with One Killstreak
To successfully kill 100 zombies with a single Killstreak and complete the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge, you'll want to equip one of *Black Ops 6*'s top Support items. The Chopper Gunner and Mutant Injection stand out as the most effective choices. The Chopper Gunner lets you unleash a barrage from a minigun in the sky, while the Mutant Injection transforms you into a Mangler, capable of dealing massive damage. Both provide invulnerability during their use, making them perfect for this challenge.
Players who have advanced to higher Military Ranks can craft these Support items at a workbench for 2,500 Salvage. For those looking to conserve resources, alternative methods include defeating special or elite enemies, completing S.A.M. Trials, or using Loot Keys on Terminus and Liberty Falls. However, these methods depend on luck and randomness, so crafting the Killstreaks beforehand is the most reliable approach.
Best Strategies to Use
Before attempting this challenge, you'll need to reach higher rounds to ensure large zombie hordes spawn. Aim for Rounds 31-40, and consider activating the Rampage Inducer to increase zombie spawn rates and speed, filling the map with targets.
For the Mutant Injection, gather a significant horde on Round 31 or later in a confined area with multiple nearby zombie spawn points. Ideal locations include the Rec Yard on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Oubliette room on Citadelle des Morts. Once you've amassed a large group, activate the Mutant Injection and focus solely on melee attacks, aggressively taking down as many zombies as possible.
Using the Chopper Gunner is more straightforward but requires careful execution. Gather a large horde in an open area on Round 31 or later, then call in your Chopper Gunner to rain down fire from above. The best spots for this are the Shipwreck on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Town Square spawn area on Citadelle des Morts.
By following these strategies and utilizing the right Support items, you'll be well on your way to completing the Dark Ops Challenge 'Harbinger of Doom' in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*.
