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

Call of Duty's rewarding killstreak system takes on a new dimension in Black Ops 6 Zombies, transforming into potent Support items for decimating hordes. The "Harbinger of Doom" Dark Ops Challenge tasks players with achieving 100 zombie kills using a single killstreak. This guide outlines the optimal strategies for success.

Optimal Maps and Modes

Black Ops 6 Zombies offers Standard, Directed, and Jingle Hells modes. While Directed is popular for camo grinding, its smaller hordes are unsuitable for this challenge. Standard mode provides the necessary zombie density.

Map selection is crucial. Open areas maximize killstreak effectiveness. Prime locations include:

• Terminus: The Shipwreck area.
• Liberty Falls: The Pump & Pay spawn area.

Best Support Items

Two killstreaks reign supreme for this challenge:

• Chopper Gunner: Provides aerial minigun support, offering invulnerability and high damage output.
• Mutant Injection: Transforms the player into a powerful Mangler for a limited time, also granting invulnerability and significant damage potential.

These can be crafted at a workbench for 2500 Salvage (for high-ranking players) or obtained through chance encounters (killing special enemies, completing S.A.M. Trials, or using Loot Keys). Crafting is recommended for reliability.

Effective Strategies

Target rounds 31-40 for maximum horde sizes. Activating the Rampage Inducer further amplifies zombie spawns and speed.

Mutant Injection Strategy:

1. Round 31 or higher: Aggressively amass a large horde in a confined area with multiple spawn points (e.g., Terminus' Rec Yard, Liberty Falls' Backlot Parking, or Citadelle des Morts' Oubliette).
2. Activate the Mutant Injection.
3. Utilize melee attacks exclusively for maximum efficiency.

Chopper Gunner Strategy:

1. Round 31 or higher: Gather a substantial horde in an open area (e.g., Terminus' Shipwreck, Liberty Falls' Backlot Parking, or Citadelle des Morts' Town Square).
2. Call in the Chopper Gunner and unleash its devastating firepower.

By following these strategies and choosing the right map and killstreak, you'll significantly increase your chances of completing the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
