How to get special and elite zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies serve as the basis for a lot of missions in the game. Not only will you stumble upon this objective in different missions, but rather, across numerous Easter Eggs, and even during your general course of gameplay. However, as you progress towards tougher missions and Easter Eggs, your requirement to earn special and elite zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies increases by quite a few folds.

These zombies are higher-tier antagonists in the game, and as evident from their tag, they can cause some serious damage. Unlike the regular undead, these zombies do not spawn in the early waves. They pop up only after you clear a few waves. These field bosses are quite difficult to eliminate, and naturally, you need to strategize your approach if you want to secure an easy kill. They drop great rewards when eliminated, most of which will help you progress further in the game.

In this article, we will provide you with a detailed brief on how you can get special and elite zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Read below to know more.

Eliminating Manglers can help players earn special zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies. However, it is a tough opponent that warrants caution, as a small mistake can result in instant death.

They can be found on Terminus and Liberty Falls maps after Round 11 begins, and are equipped with a melee weapon and a launcher that must be avoided while countering.

Manglers have a strong set of armor that can be dismantled by hitting spontaneous shots. They will chase the Operators once their shields are destroyed, so players must remain vigilant while throwing explosives to slow the enemy down. They become vulnerable once their armor is depleted, and can be shot at to inflict some extra damage.

Elite Zombies are not as formidable as the special zombies, but they still pose a significant threat. The Amalgam zombie appears at the beginning of Round 16 on Terminus Island.

This terrifying creature is a combination of various zombies and lunges at any players nearby. It can be defeated by shooting at one of its heads, which has glowing eyes — a weak spot.

The Abomination is an elite three-headed anomaly that must be defeated to achieve elite zombie eliminations in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Players should exercise caution when facing this zombie, as it can fire a beam over long distances and launch a charge attack that can easily eliminate opponents.

The Abomination spawns at the beginning of Round 16 on the Liberty Falls map. Similar to the Amalgam, the Abomination has a weak spot that can be targeted by unleashing spontaneous fire on one of its glowing heads.

Conclusion

Most of the higher-tier zombies spawn in the later rounds and provide you and your team with enough time to gear up with the necessary upgrades and weapons. While the monsters can be defeated with a bit of strategy and teamwork, it is best to farm the rounds and secure valuable items like various perks and Wonder Weapons as quickly as possible. These power-ups will help you eliminate field bosses with ease, later down the line.

If you plan on fighting the special and elite zombies with your loadout alone, it is best to use the Pack-a-Punch and upgrade the guns. This is one of the activities that you would need to do later in that game to be able to defeat the more difficult zombies in higher rounds.
