Each kill counts, and the more you grind, the higher you go up the leaderboard.
In this article, we will explore all relevant details associated with the King of the Dead event in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Everything we know about the King of the Dead event in Black Ops 6 Zombies
The King of the Dead LTM will be a leaderboard-style event in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Survivability is no longer a factor; kills are. In this game mode, your task is to rack up as many kills as possible. Each zombie that you eliminate earns you a point, and the more you kill, the higher up the leaderboard you climb.
As soon as the event goes live, you will have to play a match of Zombies to get your name on the leaderboard. Once done, each kill will contribute points to your growth on the board.
As mentioned above, each kill matters. The higher the difficulty of the enemy you have eliminated, the better you are rewarded. Each player with their name on the leaderboard will be eligible for rewards. The higher up the ladder you climb, the better your end-of-event rewards.
