Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6) Zombies introduces a new level of challenge with the addition of Special and Elite zombies. These formidable foes, including the Mangler, Abomination, and Amalgam, require specific strategies to defeat. This guide will delve into the details of these unique enemies, how to identify them, and the tactics needed to secure Special and Elite zombie eliminations.
What are Special and Elite Zombies
Special and Elite Zombies are tougher and more dangerous than regular zombies. They have special attacks and abilities that make them harder to defeat. You can spot them easily because they look different from other zombies and have a special symbol on the map.
Mangler
Type: Special
Where to Found: Liberty Falls, Terminus
Spawns from Round 11
Mangler Soldiers are heavily armored, slow-moving enemies with powerful guns. Their guns can hit the troops even when they’re hiding, and their shockwaves can knock them around. While they’re tough, they’re slow, which makes them easy targets if you can outmaneuver them, especially when there are many of them.
Abomination
Type: Elite
Where to Found: Liberty Falls
Spawns from Round 16
The Abomination is a powerful, three-headed monster. Each of its heads can be destroyed. The Abomination is a dangerous creature that can attack in three ways:
Bite: It can bite you if you get too close.
Beam: It can charge up and shoot a powerful energy beam from its three heads.
Charge: It can slam its leg into the ground and charge at you.
Amalgam
Type: Elite
Where to Found: Terminus
Spawns from Round 16
Amalgam is a new type of zombie in Black Ops 6 Zombies. It’s formed by combining several zombies together, and it keeps growing bigger and more monstrous as the game goes on.
How to Get Special and Elite Zombie Eliminations
In Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (BO6) Zombies, players can score Special and Elite zombie kills by taking down named zombies.
Mangler
To defeat a Mangler, first break its armor. Once its armor is damaged, it will expose a weak spot. Aim for this weak spot to deal extra damage. Be careful, though, because once the Mangler’s armor is damaged, it will become more aggressive and chase you.
Abomination
Focus on the Abomination’s glowing head for maximum damage. This powerful, three-headed Elite zombie appears in Liberty Falls starting from Round 16. It can shoot a devastating beam and will aggressively charge at you, so be ready to dodge whenever it seems to be gearing up for a charge.
Amalgam
The Amalgam spawns in Terminus from Round 16 onward. This massive, Elite zombie relentlessly charges at players. Aim for one of its heads with glowing eyes to stagger it briefly, and quickly take cover when it tries to grab you.
