How To Unlock Every Terminator Event Reward in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2's major collaboration with The Terminator isn't just a paid bundle; it's an event brimming with free rewards. This guide shows you how to unlock every Terminator event reward.
How The Terminator Event Works in Black Ops 6 & Warzone

Similar to the Archie's Festival Frenzy event, The Terminator event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone isn't XP or challenge-based. Instead, you collect Skulls—a fittingly grim currency—in matches and redeem them for rewards.
Skulls drop from eliminations in Multiplayer and Zombies, or from opening caches in Warzone. You must physically collect them; they won't automatically add to your total. Check your pause menu or the Terminator event tab to track your progress. Note that Skull drops aren't guaranteed with every elimination or cache. Listen for a distinct audio cue to help locate them.
Earning Skulls Quickly: Strategies for Each Mode
The key to faster progress is maximizing your chances of Skull spawns. Here's how to optimize your Skull farming in each game mode:
- Black Ops 6 Multiplayer: Kill Confirmed on smaller maps like Nuketown is ideal.
- Black Ops 6 Zombies: Farm zombie kills with the Rampage Inducer active.
- Warzone: Open as many chests as possible in Resurgence mode; Solos is generally best.
While these strategies increase your chances, Skull drop rates seem inconsistent. Our testing suggests round-based Zombies (especially early rounds with Rampage Inducer) yields the most Skulls per minute, followed by early Resurgence matches in Warzone. However, cache availability decreases in later Warzone matches, while Zombie Skull spawns may slow after round 10.
For optimal Zombie farming, focus on early rounds in maps like Liberty Falls or The Tomb. GobbleGums like Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power can significantly boost your early-game kill rate.
