Mastering the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies

The Call of Duty franchise has always prized killstreaks, and Black Ops 6 Zombies continues this tradition by offering powerful Support items. The Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge tasks players with eliminating 100 zombies using a single killstreak. This guide outlines the optimal strategies and tactics for success.

Optimal Maps and Modes

Black Ops 6 Zombies features Standard, Directed, and Jingle Hells modes. While Directed mode is popular for camo grinding, its smaller horde sizes make it unsuitable for this challenge. Standard mode provides the necessary large zombie spawns.

Map selection is crucial. Open areas are essential for maximizing killstreak effectiveness. Ideal locations include the Shipwreck on Terminus and the Liberty Falls spawn area near Pump & Pay.

Choosing the Right Killstreak

For this challenge, the Chopper Gunner and Mutant Injection are superior choices.

The Chopper Gunner provides aerial minigun support, while the Mutant Injection transforms the player into a powerful Mangler. Both offer invulnerability and significant damage output. These can be crafted at a workbench for 2,500 Salvage or obtained through chance encounters (killing special enemies, completing S.A.M. Trials, or using Loot Keys). Crafting is recommended to avoid RNG dependency.

Effective Strategies

High-round gameplay is key. Rounds 31-40 are ideal for maximizing zombie spawns. Activating the Rampage Inducer further enhances horde size and speed.

Mutant Injection Strategy:

Train a large horde in a confined area with multiple spawn points (e.g., the Rec Yard on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Oubliette room on Citadelle des Morts). Activate the Mutant Injection, utilize melee attacks aggressively, and maximize your kills.

Chopper Gunner Strategy:

Gather a large horde in an open area (e.g., the Shipwreck on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Town Square spawn area on Citadelle des Morts). Deploy the Chopper Gunner and unleash aerial firepower.

By following these strategies and utilizing the recommended killstreaks and locations, you'll significantly increase your chances of completing the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
