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 previous Call of Duty events like Archie's Festival Frenzy. Instead of XP challenges, players earn Skulls by eliminating enemies 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 acquisition isn't guaranteed per elimination or cache. Keep an eye out for floating skulls after each action, and listen for the unique sound cue indicating a Skull spawn.
Optimizing Skull Acquisition:
Maximize your Skull earning potential by focusing on high-elimination activities:
- 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): Open as many supply caches as possible, ideally in Solos matches.
Testing suggests round-based Zombies (with Rampage Inducer) yields the highest Skull-per-minute rate in the early rounds, followed by Warzone Resurgence. However, cache availability diminishes in later Warzone stages, while Skull drop rates appear to decrease in Zombies after approximately 10 Skulls per match. Inconsistencies in Skull spawn rates are noted.
