Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 – How Prestige Works
Classic Prestige is back in Black Ops 6. Here's everything you need to know about this fan-favorite progression system.
Merry Mayhem is a temporary event that requires you to play zombies, but if you can spend a few hours battling armies of undead minions, you'll walk away with some nice rewards. Let's dive into how this event works and take a look at all the rewards associated with this short event.
What is Merry Mayhem?
Merry Mayhem is a zombie themed event held with December 5 to December 17. Players can unlock XP boosters, exclusive cosmetics and even new weapons by earning XP in BO6 Zombies.
Unlike previous events, you can only earn progress through zombies; Multiplayer and Warzone do not count.
As you defeat the zombies and clear the rounds, you'll advance to the Merry Mayhem reward track. There are ten levels of rewards available in this event, including the Maelstrom Auto Shotgun. Any XP you earn in Zombies will be progressed along the reward path. You need to earn a total amount to unlock each reward 618,000 XP in zombies.
All Merry Mayhem awards
There are ten levels of rewards you can earn in Merry Mayhem. Some levels include multiple rewards such as unlocking zombies and a double XP token. You can earn a total of 14 rewards, one of which is the new Maelstrom shotgun. It's also worth noting that the last reward in the subscription, the Scour Drill weapon plan, can only be unlocked by Blackcell owners.
