Mastering the Harbinger of Doom Dark Ops Challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Call of Duty's rewarding killstreak system takes center stage in Black Ops 6 Zombies, where they become potent Support items capable of decimating hordes. The "Harbinger of Doom" Dark Ops Challenge specifically tasks players with achieving 100 zombie kills using a single killstreak. This guide outlines the optimal strategies for success.
Optimal Maps and Game Modes
Black Ops 6 Zombies offers Standard, Directed, and Jingle Hells modes. While Directed mode is popular for camo challenges, its smaller hordes make it unsuitable for the Harbinger of Doom. Standard mode is the recommended choice due to its larger enemy spawns.
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. These open spaces allow for maximum killstreak impact.
High-Impact Support Items
To conquer this challenge, select either the Chopper Gunner or Mutant Injection. The Chopper Gunner provides aerial minigun support, while the Mutant Injection transforms the player into a powerful Mangler. Both offer invulnerability and substantial damage output.
High-ranking players can craft these at workbenches for 2,500 Salvage. Alternatively, they can be obtained through chance encounters (defeating special enemies, completing S.A.M. Trials, or using Loot Keys on Terminus and Liberty Falls). Crafting is the more reliable method.
Strategic Gameplay
Attempt this challenge between rounds 31-40, when larger hordes spawn. Activating the Rampage Inducer further amplifies enemy numbers and speed.
Mutant Injection Strategy: Gather a substantial horde in a confined area with multiple spawn points (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). Deploy the Chopper Gunner and unleash its devastating firepower from above.
By following these strategies and choosing the appropriate map, game mode, and killstreak, you'll be well-equipped to overcome the Harbinger of Doom challenge and add another achievement to your Black Ops 6 Zombies record.
