Mods.

So, if you are just getting started with Black Ops 6 Zombies but want to be all prepared to face the endless zombie hordes on the nightmarish Terminus Island, our guide on how to get and use Salvage in Black Ops 6 Zombies will come in handy.

In Black Ops 6 Zombies, you can get Salvage by defeating zombies. It is a random drop you can get by farming the zombie mobs throughout different waves across Terminus Island.

Unlike in Black Ops Cold War, which had two forms of Salvage currency, normal and High-Grade ones, in Black Ops 6 Zombies, there is only one type of Salvage currency, simply called Salvage, which looks like a pile of junk with a green outline.

Moreover, even though Salvage is ground loot, it is player-specific, and thus, if you get a Salvage drop by slaying zombies, no other team member can pick it.

On the other hand, this means you will have to actively engage with the zombie mobs to farm Salvage if you want to strengthen your Operator and increase your chances of survivability.
