If you want to learn how to get Critical Kills quickly in Black Ops 6 Zombies, this ONE Esports guide has everything you need to succeed.
Critical Kills are vital for boosting your score, conserving ammo, and more importantly, speeding through weapon camo challenges and other objectives.
In this guide, we’ve gathered key tips and strategies to help you rack up these crucial eliminations with ease.
What are Critical Kills?
Critical Kills are achieved by consistently landing headshots on zombies, making precision aim an essential skill for success. These headshots deal significantly more damage than body shots, making them not only a key survival tactic but also a fast way to accumulate kills and save ammo.
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, Critical Kills are also crucial for camo progression. To unlock all Military Camos, you must hit the required number of Critical Kills for each weapon.
Only after completing these Military Camo challenges can you progress to unlock the more advanced Special and Mastery Camos, marking a path toward full camo completion.
How to get Critical Kills effectively in BO6 Zombies
Before starting a match, equip either the Dead Head or Dead Again major augment on your Deadshot Daiquiri perk-a-cola. Deadshot Daiquiri enhances your aim down sight (ADS) accuracy, making it easier to hit zombie headshots for Critical Kills.
The Dead Head augment increases critical hit damage, allowing for faster kills, while Dead Again gives your critical shots a chance to automatically refill a bullet to your magazine, helping sustain fire during intense rounds.
In terms of GobbleGums, select Kill Joy and Free Fire, if available. Kill Joy spawns an Instakill power-up, while Free Fire grants unlimited ammo for a minute, perfect for mowing down zombie hordes and stacking up Critical Kills in later rounds.
For your Ammo Mod, Dead Wire is recommended as it stuns zombies on impact, giving you more time to aim precisely for headshots.
Make sure to Pack-A-Punch your weapon to maximize its damage, fire rate, and overall effectiveness. For farming Critical Kills, a Pack-A-Punched weapon ensures that each headshot will be powerful enough to take down zombies in fewer shots, especially in higher rounds when enemies have more health.
The best map to farm Critical Kills is Terminus Island. Gather zombies near the Gun Battery Platform, then lead them onto the bridge toward the Sea Tower. This narrow passage forces zombies into a line, making it easy to land headshots and efficiently farm Critical Kills.
