Mastering the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies
Call of Duty’s rewarding killstreak system gets a zombie-slaying twist in Black Ops 6. The Dark Ops Challenge, "Harbinger of Doom," tasks players with eliminating 100 zombies using a single killstreak. This guide outlines the optimal strategies and equipment for success.
Optimal Maps and Game Modes
Black Ops 6 Zombies offers Standard, Directed, and Jingle Hells modes. While Directed is popular for camo grinding, its smaller hordes make "Harbinger of Doom" significantly more difficult. Standard mode provides the necessary zombie density.
Map selection is crucial. Open areas maximize killstreak effectiveness. Ideal locations include the Shipwreck on Terminus and the Liberty Falls spawn area near Pump & Pay.
High-Impact Killstreaks
To conquer this challenge, choose from Black Ops 6's most potent Support items: the Chopper Gunner and the Mutant Injection.
- Chopper Gunner: Rains down devastating minigun fire from above.
- Mutant Injection: Transforms the player into a powerful Mangler for a limited time.
Both offer invulnerability and exceptional damage output. These can be crafted at a workbench for 2,500 Salvage, or obtained through chance encounters with elite enemies, S.A.M. Trials, or Loot Keys. Crafting is recommended for reliability.
Strategic Approaches
Attempt this challenge in Rounds 31-40, when larger hordes spawn. The Rampage Inducer further boosts zombie numbers and speed, creating ideal kill conditions.
-
Mutant Injection Strategy: Gather a massive horde in a confined space (e.g., Terminus' Rec Yard, Liberty Falls' Backlot Parking, or Citadelle des Morts' Oubliette). Activate the Injection and utilize melee attacks for maximum efficiency.
-
Chopper Gunner Strategy: Assemble a large horde in an open area (e.g., Terminus' Shipwreck, Liberty Falls' Backlot Parking, or Citadelle des Morts' Town Square). Call in the Chopper Gunner and unleash aerial firepower.
By following these strategies and choosing the right killstreak, you'll be well-equipped to complete the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge and claim your reward.
