*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Season 2 has rolled out an exciting collaboration with The Terminator. Alongside the premium bundle, there's an engaging event packed with free rewards for players to unlock. Here's your guide to earning 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* follows a format similar to the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event from the Holiday Season. Unlike XP or challenge-based events, The Terminator event revolves around collecting a new in-game currency called Skulls. These Skulls are earned through eliminations in Multiplayer and Zombies modes, or by opening caches in Warzone. To collect them, players need to walk over the Skulls that appear after these actions.
However, Skulls don't drop from every elimination or cache opening, and their appearance can seem random. Players should keep an eye out for floating Skulls near the ground and listen for specific audio cues signaling when Skulls spawn or are picked up.
How To Earn Skulls Fast in The Terminator Event in Call of Duty
Given the randomness of Skull drops, the best strategy to progress quickly is to maximize your opportunities for eliminations and cache openings. Here are the most effective methods for each mode:
- *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer: Opt for Kill Confirmed on small maps like Nuketown for faster Skull accumulation.
- *Black Ops 6* Zombies: Utilize the Rampage Inducer and farm zombies in early rounds (before Round 6) at locations like Liberty Falls or The Tomb. Enhance your weapon with GobbleGums like Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power to speed up eliminations.
- *Warzone*: Focus on opening as many chests as possible in Resurgence mode, especially in Solos. Note that finding unopened caches becomes harder as the match progresses.
Our testing revealed that round-based Zombies with the Rampage Inducer in early rounds yields the most Skulls per minute, with early Resurgence matches in *Warzone* coming in second. However, Skull drop rates can be inconsistent and may slow down after collecting around your 10th Skull in a match.
