The Terminator event has arrived in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, offering a wealth of free rewards. Unlike previous events, this one uses a unique currency: Skulls. Earn these by eliminating enemies in Multiplayer and Zombies, or by opening caches in Warzone. Collecting Skulls unlocks a range of rewards, culminating in an epic weapon blueprint.

The Skull acquisition process is somewhat random; there's no guaranteed drop rate per elimination or cache. However, maximizing your chances involves focusing on high-elimination activities.
Optimal Skull Farming Strategies:
- Multiplayer: Kill Confirmed mode on smaller maps like Nuketown offers the best chances.
- Zombies: Utilize the Rampage Inducer, especially in early rounds (before round 6) on maps like Liberty Falls or The Tomb. GobbleGums like Hidden Power, Crate Power, or Wall Power can significantly boost your killing speed. Note that Skull drop rates appear to diminish in later rounds.
- Warzone (Resurgence): Solo Resurgence is recommended for maximizing cache openings, though the frequency of unopened caches decreases as the match progresses.
While early-round Zombies consistently yielded the highest Skull-per-minute rate in our testing, early Resurgence matches were a close second. However, the Skull drop rate seems inconsistent across all game modes.
