Zombies is a round-based mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 where players need to fend off an undead outbreak. The action takes place on two maps: Terminus and Liberty Falls. To advance on either map, you’ll need Essence, which is essential for unlocking new areas and activating objective-related devices. Essence is used to purchase weapons and unlock areas in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6) Zombies. In this article, we will discuss on how to farm essence in Black Ops 6 (BO6).
How to Farm Essence in Black Ops 6 (BO6)
Essence is the main in-game currency in Zombies mode, used to buy weapons, upgrades, and unlock new paths to help you survive and advance through each map’s objectives. You earn Essence by killing zombies, so the quickest way to collect it is by taking out large groups as fast as possible. To maximize your efficiency, aim for headshots and use explosives to deal with the waves of zombies. You can spend Essence to purchase wall weapons and upgrades from Perk-a-Colas and GobbleGum Machines. Be sure to use your Essence wisely to benefit your team the most.
To enhance your Essence farming while increasing the challenge, activate the Rampage Inducer in the starting area to boost zombie spawn rates. While it might not be the most efficient way to earn Essence, it’s perfect for players looking for an adrenaline rush while racking up extra points. To get extra Essence get the bonus points powerup. Powerups provide temporary boosts for you and your teammates. The Bonus Points Powerup gives everyone extra Essence. You can spot these Powerups as glowing green items on the ground after taking down zombies, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.
How to Use Essence in Black Ops 6 (BO6)
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, Essence is represented as points that you quickly earn by defeating zombies, and it can also appear as vials of Dark Aether Essence that drop from tougher foes. You can use Essence in various ways, such as accessing objective-related devices, like those that power the station in Terminus, to aid your progress. It allows you to unlock doors, with some doors enabling you to split the cost with a teammate for the first time in Black Ops. Additionally, you can summon a Tactical Raft for aquatic missions and purchase Perk-a-Colas from Perk Machines to gain specific advantages for your Operator, either from a single machine or a Der Wunderfizz that provides all Perk Cans on the map.
The Essence can also be used on weapon upgrades at the Pack-a-Punch Machine, whether Tier I, II, or III, in order to increase the power and ammo capacity of a weapon, sometimes with surprise upgrades. You can purchase ammo from Ammo Caches, and also get additional weapons, including their rarity ratings, by using Weapon Wall Buys, and upgrade armor through Armor Wall Buys (Tier II, Tier III). Apart from that, Mystery Boxes award random weapons with ratings of rarity and start special Trial challenges so you can check your skills.
