Terminator Event Strats

We’ve gathered a few BO6 Terminator Event tips to make it simple for you to go through with the event successfully. They’re relatively simple, but they will work to reward you fairly quickly.

  • Team Coordination: Get a group together with your friends, or use the group system to form groups with a group finder tool. Coordinated play not only maximizes your chance in objective-based operations but will make it simple for your group to cover several objectives at a single time.
  • Optimize Loadouts: Arm yourself with weapons that best function with explosion or flame damage. Optimize your attachments and perks to maximize your output in close engagements and dynamic moments.
  • In Multiplayer: Focus on fast-paced game modes such as Team Deathmatch or Domination to gain quick kills.
  • In Zombies:  Make clusters of enemies your first target and make specific event objectives your first target.
  • In Warzone: Use high-mobility maneuvers to attack enemies and search for hidden caches that reward additional skulls

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.
