*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Season 2 has rolled out an exciting collaboration with The Terminator, featuring a paid bundle and an event loaded with free rewards. Here's your guide to unlocking all the Terminator event rewards 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. Instead of relying on XP or challenges, this event involves collecting a special currency called Skulls, which you can then trade for rewards in the event tab. Skulls embody the T-800’s deadly essence and skeletal structure, adding a thematic touch to the event.
You can earn Skulls by eliminating opponents in Multiplayer and Zombies modes or by opening caches in Warzone. To collect them, simply walk over the dropped Skulls. Keep an eye on your total in the pause menu or the event tab. Note that not every elimination or cache opening guarantees a Skull drop; the timing and frequency can be quite unpredictable. Stay alert for the floating Skulls near the ground and listen for specific audio cues signaling their spawn and pickup.
How To Earn Skulls Fast in The Terminator Event in Call of Duty
Given the randomness of Skull drops, the key to faster progression is increasing your opportunities to earn them. 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 maximize your elimination chances.
- *Black Ops 6* Zombies: Focus on farming zombie eliminations with the Rampage Inducer enabled, particularly in early rounds (before Round 6) for the highest Skull-per-minute rate.
- *Warzone*: Open as many chests as possible in Resurgence mode, with Solos being the most efficient. However, remember that unopened caches become scarcer as the match progresses, unlike the increasing spawn rates in Zombies.
For the fastest Skull farming, grind zombie eliminations in the early rounds at Liberty Falls or The Tomb. Utilizing GobbleGums like Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power can help upgrade your weapon quickly, thus speeding up your kills and Skull collection. Be aware that Skull drops tend to slow down and become inconsistent after about your 10th Skull in a match, with potential dry spells even in early rounds.
