Season 5 of Black Ops 6 is definitely a huge step up from Season 4, especially considering the content drought during Season 4's mid-season. With Season 5, players are greeted with neat modes like Aim High, map remasters like W.M.D., and an exciting line of content scattered throughout its opening weeks. However, Zombies definitely gets the most love in Season 5 with the debut of the Reckoning.
The Reckoning for Black Ops 6 Zombies is an epic finale to round off the line of Zombies content, bringing with it a unique main quest with multiple endings and a set of side Easter Eggs that are pretty unique. If you want more of an excuse to play the latest map, Season 5 also releases an exclusive event a week after its launch with its own set of rewards. Here is a guide to The Reckoning Event in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Best Augments for All Perks in Black Ops 6 Zombies
If players want to run into the hordes of Black Ops 6 Zombies with the best Perks possible, then these Major and Minor Augments are a must-have.
How Does The Reckoning Event Work in Black Ops 6 Zombies?
The Reckoning Event is another leaderboard-style tournament exclusive to Black Ops 6 Zombies. Participants are placed in a random pool of 29 other players and tasked with earning event points by getting eliminations, but only on the Reckoning Zombies map.
Each enemy type grants a different number of points, with Elite Zombie Kills yielding the highest. Similar to the King of the Dead Event from Season 4, players can also earn points by completing the main quest, but only the Reckoning main quest. Here is a breakdown of how players can earn event points:
- Zombie Kill: 1 Point
- Special Zombie Kill: 25 Points
- Elite Zombie Kill: 100 Points
- Reckoning Main Quest: 5,000 Points
By earning event points through eliminations and completing the main quest, players will climb up the leaderboard. Based on their placement, when the event ends on August 21 at 9 AM PT, they will receive GobbleGum rewards. Players can also earn a separate set of GobbleGum milestone rewards apart from the placement rewards, ensuring that everyone walks away with something regardless of their placement.
All The Reckoning Event Rewards in Black Ops 6 Zombies
As touched on earlier, The Reckoning Event rewards consist entirely of GobbleGums and are split into two tracks. The first is the leaderboard placement rewards, which are only awarded once players reach a specific placement and hold that placement until the event ends on August 21 at 9 AM PT. Players can track their current placement by simply heading to The Reckoning Event page in the main lobby. The second set requires players to earn a set amount of event points, with its rewards being awarded immediately.
