Best Way to get Skulls in BO6 The Terminator Event
Skulls are dropped at random when enemies are killed in both BO6 Zombie and BO6 multiplayer alternate game modes, but in Terminator Event in Warzone, you’ll have to go and farm them in Supply Caches. That’s a matter of chance in terms of skulls that you obtain, with it simply a case of whatever activity is your most regularly performed – earning them passively during gaming, but having to go out and actively farm them for them to count towards your overall count.
For a skulls-farming simple enough, try loading one of the Black Ops 6 Zombies maps in Directed Mode. With an infinite spawn of enemies, skulls can be accumulated in no time with no annoyance of having to sit through having to deal with over-competitive opponents.
Alternatively, your activity of preference is multiplayer, farm skulls simply through a constant Stakeout in the most minor map in the game, perfect for raking in deaths in droves. Warzone’s Plunder and Resurgence work too, with both having constant spawns and loads of caches to run down for skulls to obtain.
