A secret staple of the video game world, unwritten rules are essentially a set of guidelines that players unknowingly follow for a game. These rules tend to form naturally over time as fans play the game and see others repeat similar behavior, eventually becoming the norm for how the community plays.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has plenty of theseunwritten rules.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is neatly split into three distinct components: its campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies mode. While all three have their own set of hidden guidelines,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode probably has the most of the lot, with players being heavily encouraged to echo the behavior of their teammates in order to succeed.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' Unwritten Rules Explained
Buy Your Fair Share of Doors
An unwritten rule for just abouteveryCall of Duty Zombiesmode since 2009, players should make sure that they’re pitching in to buy their fair share of doors on a map. If players have the points to spare and see an opportunity to pave the way ahead, they should seize it, especially if they’re a decent way into the match and haven’t bought a door yet.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6makes this process even easier by allowing players to split the cost of doors, meaning players can always be chipping in.
Don’t Disrupt a Player’s Train
This unwritten rule might be a bit tougher for old-schoolCall of Duty Zombiesplayers to grasp, but players should try their best to avoid disrupting another player’s zombie train, especially on Liberty Falls.Black Ops 6Zombies' launch mapsheavily encourage players to split up to thin the zombie horde, and that can make it occasionally difficult for some players in the match to rack up points.
If a player is running around their portion of the map not firing at any zombies behind them, it’s highly likely that they’re gathering a train. Once this train is large enough, the player will turn around and harvest their onslaught of points. Though it can initially seem like the player is in trouble, they probably don’t actually need assistance, and any help could be considered as kill-stealing.
Prioritize Turning The Power On in Terminus
A simple but important unwritten rule ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Zombies, players should always prioritize turning the power on in Terminus. Before buying any weapons fromthe Mystery Box, before opening doors to the rest of the map, before hunting for Easter eggs, players on Terminus should immediately head to the map’s three power generators. This journey carves a natural route to Pack-a-Punch, and it’s imperative that it’s available as soon as possible.
Pack-a-Punch As Early As Possible
Following on from the last unwritten rule, it’s more important than ever for players to Pack-a-Punch their weapons as quickly as possible inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6. Zombies become bullet sponges very early on inBlack Ops 6, and if players don’t have the firepower to dispatch them fast enough, it can get ugly real quick. That’s especially true if one ofBlack Ops 6’s boss Zombiesjoins the fray, with their health pools being absurdly high right off the bat.
