Conquer the Terminator Event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and unlock all the free rewards! This guide details how to efficiently collect Skulls, the event's in-game currency, and claim every prize.
The Terminator event operates similarly to past Call of Duty events like Archie's Festival Frenzy. Instead of challenges, players earn Skulls by eliminating opponents in Multiplayer and Zombies, or by opening caches in Warzone. Collected Skulls are redeemed for rewards within the event tab, accessible via the pause menu. Skull drops are somewhat random; listen for audio cues and keep an eye out after each elimination or cache opening.
Optimizing Skull Acquisition:
To maximize Skull acquisition, focus on activities with high elimination or cache-opening frequency:
- Multiplayer: Prioritize Kill Confirmed mode, especially on smaller maps like Nuketown.
- Zombies: Utilize the Rampage Inducer and farm zombie kills, particularly in early rounds (before round 6).
- Warzone: Resurgence Solos is recommended for maximizing cache openings.
Our testing suggests that early-round Zombies with the Rampage Inducer yields the highest Skull-per-minute rate, followed by early Resurgence matches. However, cache frequency diminishes in later Warzone stages, while Zombie Skull spawns may decrease after round 10. Inconsistencies in drop rates are noted.
