If you want to successfully complete a game in the Zombie mode of Black Ops 6, exfiltration is your best bet. Here’s everything you need to know about exfiltration and its rewards.
The Zombie mode isn’t anything new… First introduced in World at War, it has gained immense popularity and has become a staple in games by Treyarch. With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, this mode makes its return yet again, likely attracting many new players. For those less experienced, you might be wondering what exactly exfiltration is and how to execute it successfully. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Exfiltrate in BO6?
With numerous prestige levels to earn in BO6, it’s understandable that enhancing your game mode can feel tedious. While the Zombie mode is here to save the day, sometimes you’ll find yourself in dire need of an exit through exfiltration. Despite having access to the game’s best weapons, you can still get overwhelmed by the relentless waves of the undead. So, how do you escape this perilous situation? By utilizing a helicopter!
Exfiltration is a method to successfully finish the zombie mode, which was not available before the addition of the Cold War features. To implement this method and escape the fray alive, keep an eye out for a radio communication icon that appears on your map.
- If your game is still going strong but you need to leave, head to this location.
- There, you must eliminate all zombies in the exfiltration zone within the allotted time.
- Completing this objective will allow the helicopter to land and conclude your run, granting you bonus XP as a reward.
Some Tips for a Successful Exfiltration
- When the exfiltration icon appears, you can only use it for a limited time before it disappears.
- The withdrawal option from combat is available only after round 10, then every 5 rounds. This means retreats are possible at rounds 11, 16, 21, etc.
- If you make an exit after round 16 or beyond, you will receive additional GobbleGums.
- The issue is, beyond wave 20, exfiltration can become quite challenging: both you and your teammates should ideally have a powerful weapon!
- If you don’t want to conclude your run but wish to catch your breath, you can actually abandon and save your game for the first time in Call of Duty’s zombie mode history (in solo mode).
- Don’t forget about the Easter eggs while battling the undead—the chaotic world filled with zombies is packed with secrets.
