*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Season 2 has brought an exciting collaboration with The Terminator. Alongside the paid bundle, there's an event packed with free rewards. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to unlock every Terminator event reward in *Black Ops 6*.
How Does The Terminator Event Work in Black Ops 6 & Warzone?
The Terminator event in *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* operates much like the previous Archie’s Festival Frenzy event during the holiday season. Instead of relying on XP or specific challenges, this event requires players to collect a unique currency called Skulls, which can be traded in for rewards within the event tab. These Skulls embody the T-800’s lethal essence and skeletal design.
Skulls are obtained by eliminating enemies in Multiplayer and Zombies modes or by opening caches in *Warzone*. To collect a Skull, simply walk over it after it drops. You can track your Skull collection in the pause menu or The Terminator event tab.
It's important to note that not every elimination or cache opening guarantees a Skull drop. The timing and conditions for Skull drops seem somewhat random, so keep an eye out for floating Skulls near the ground after each action and listen for the specific audio cues signaling when Skulls spawn and are collected.
How To Earn Skulls Fast in The Terminator Event in Call of Duty
Given the randomness of Skull drops, the key to progressing faster in the event is to maximize your opportunities for Skull spawns. Here are the best strategies for each major mode in *Call of Duty*:
- *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer: Opt for Kill Confirmed on smaller maps like Nuketown to increase your elimination rate.
- *Black Ops 6* Zombies: Use the Rampage Inducer and focus on farming zombie eliminations, especially in the early rounds (before Round 6) in maps like Liberty Falls or The Tomb. Enhance your weapon with GobbleGums like Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power to kill zombies more efficiently.
- *Warzone*: In Resurgence mode, particularly in Solos, open as many chests as possible. Note that the availability of unopened caches decreases as the match progresses, unlike in Zombies where Skull spawns increase with rounds.
Our testing revealed that farming zombie eliminations in the early rounds of Zombies mode yields the highest Skull per minute rate, with early matches of Resurgence in *Warzone* coming in second. However, be aware that Skull spawn rates can become inconsistent and slow down after collecting around your 10th Skull in a match.
