The highly anticipated Season 2 of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* introduces an exciting collaboration with The Terminator franchise, complete with a paid bundle and a free event brimming with rewards. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock every reward in The Terminator event in *Black Ops 6*.
How Does The Terminator Event Work in Black Ops 6 & Warzone?
The Terminator event in *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* mirrors the structure of the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event from the Holiday Season. Rather than being based on XP or challenges, this event requires players to collect a unique currency called Skulls. These Skulls are earned through eliminations in Multiplayer and Zombies, or by opening caches in Warzone. Once a Skull appears, players must walk over it to add it to their collection, which can be monitored in the pause menu or the event tab.
It's worth noting that not all eliminations or cache openings will yield Skulls. Their appearance can be somewhat unpredictable, so players should remain vigilant after each action and listen for the distinctive audio cues that signal when a Skull has been spawned or collected.
How To Earn Skulls Fast in The Terminator Event in Call of Duty
Given the randomness of Skull drops, the key to accelerating your event progression is to maximize your opportunities for earning them. Here are the most effective strategies for each mode in *Call of Duty*:
- *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer: Opt for Kill Confirmed on smaller maps like Nuketown to increase your chances of collecting Skulls.
- *Black Ops 6* Zombies: Focus on farming zombie eliminations with the Rampage Inducer enabled, particularly in early rounds (before Round 6) at locations like Liberty Falls or The Tomb. Utilizing GobbleGums such as Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power can help upgrade your weapon quickly, thereby speeding up your Skull collection.
- *Warzone*: Aim to open as many chests as possible in Resurgence mode, with Solos being the most efficient. Be aware that the availability of unopened caches diminishes as the match progresses, unlike in Zombies where spawn rates increase with each round.
Our tests revealed that early rounds in Zombies with the Rampage Inducer yield the highest Skull-per-minute rate, followed by early matches in *Warzone* Resurgence. However, Skull spawn rates tend to decrease after collecting around ten Skulls in a single match and can become inconsistent as the rounds advance.
