Killstreaks have always been a thrilling aspect of the *Call of Duty* franchise, and in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, they transform into potent Support items that let you unleash devastating attacks on zombie hordes. The Dark Ops Challenge 'Harbinger of Doom' specifically rewards players for utilizing these Killstreaks to their fullest potential.
Best Maps and Modes to Kill 100 Zombies with One Killstreak in Black Ops 6
*Black Ops 6* Zombies offers a variety of modes to challenge the undead, including Standard, Directed, and the seasonal Jingle Hells. While Directed mode is popular among players grinding for camos due to its more manageable matches, it doesn't spawn the large hordes necessary for the Harbinger of Doom challenge. Therefore, Standard mode is your best bet for tackling this challenge.
When selecting a map, prioritize those with ample open space to effectively deploy your Support item. Maps with expansive areas like the Shipwreck on Terminus and the spawn area of Liberty Falls near Pump & Pay are ideal for this task, allowing you to maximize your Killstreak's impact on the zombie population.
Best Support to Use to Kill 100 Zombies with One Killstreak
To successfully kill 100 zombies with one Killstreak and complete the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge, you'll want to equip yourself with one of *Black Ops 6*'s top-tier Support items. The Chopper Gunner and the Mutant Injection stand out as the most effective choices. The Chopper Gunner allows you to rain down fire with a powerful minigun from the skies, while the Mutant Injection transforms you into a Mangler, capable of dealing massive damage. Both options grant you invulnerability during their duration, making them perfect for this challenge.
Players who have advanced through the game's Military Ranks can craft these Support items at a workbench for 2,500 Salvage. For those looking to conserve their resources, alternative methods to acquire Chopper Gunners and Mutant Injections include defeating special or elite enemies, completing S.A.M. Trials, or using Loot Keys on Terminus and Liberty Falls. However, these methods depend on RNG, so crafting these Killstreaks beforehand is advisable.
Best Strategies to Use
To maximize your chances of completing this challenge, aim to reach higher rounds before attempting it. The ideal time to try this is between Rounds 31-40, where the largest zombie hordes spawn. Using the Rampage Inducer can further boost zombie spawn rates and speed, filling the map with targets to take down.
For the Mutant Injection, gather a significant number of zombies in a confined space with multiple spawn points. Recommended locations include the Rec Yard on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Oubliette room on Citadelle des Morts. Once you've amassed a large group, activate the Mutant Injection and focus solely on melee attacks, aggressively eliminating as many zombies as possible.
Using the Chopper Gunner requires a slightly different approach but can be more challenging to execute. Gather a large horde in an open area on Round 31 or later, then call in your Chopper Gunner to rain down destruction. Ideal spots for this strategy include the Shipwreck on Terminus, Backlot Parking on Liberty Falls, or the Town Square spawn area on Citadelle des Morts.
By following these strategies and utilizing the right maps and modes, you'll be well on your way to killing 100 Zombies with one Killstreak and successfully completing the Dark Ops Challenge in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*.
