Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Round Based Zombies Map Guide — Reckoning

Just as the crew emerges from Sam Colton Hall, barely escaping certain death, they are faced with a new target: Project Janus Headquarters itself, known to the locals of Liberty Falls simply as Janus Towers. The buildings are heavily damaged, with a greater catastrophe on the horizon if the team doesn’t hurry to stabilize its deteriorating Aether Reactors.

Without a second to recuperate, the crew moves in. To succeed, they’ll need every advantage they can get, utilizing the towers’ advanced technology to rapidly move through the headquarters, preventing its imminent failure. But that’s only the start of their problems. Welcome to the final chapter of Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 Zombies. Use this Guide to get your bearings on the new map so you’re at your best when facing the cosmic chaos within.

What is Directed Mode?

For players looking for extra guidance in completing the Main Quest objectives within Reckoning, Directed Mode is for you. If you want a little less pressure while you experience the story and everything that the narrative has to offer, Directed Mode will guide you from objective to objective while limiting the maximum round number, letting you play at a reasonable pace.

You’ll still fight the zombie hordes; however, you won’t have to worry much about escalating difficulty as you look to complete the quest. Each objective, or milestone, will increase the round limit to help control the pace of the chaos around you, reaching a maximum of Round 15 until the Main Quest is complete.

What is in This Guide?

Recommended round pace when exploring: 1 - 3

Janus Towers has seen better days. The Project Janus Reception area is where you and your squad begin your journey into Tower 1, denoted by T1 on your HUD. The area is loaded with enough resources and upgrades to get your squad outfitted with everything you need to feel prepared for the final mission. Don’t be afraid to spend 3-4 rounds in the Project Janus’s Reception area gaining some Essence and possibly even purchasing your first Armor Vest Upgrade. It’s never a bad idea to have that extra damage mitigation early on.

T1 Quantum Computing Core / T1 Quantum Computing Lab

Recommended round pace when exploring: 4

T1 Mutant Research Lab / T1 Mutant Research Test Area

T2 Android Assembly

The Android Assembly is in tatters with its floor caved in all around. Thankfully, the devastation has also knocked down two of the central metal ramps, providing easy access to the upper floor where essential goods like the Double Tap Perk Machine, Arsenal, and an Ammo Cache reside. You might also hit up the Level II Armor Vest upgrade if you skipped it in Reception.

The upper level provides the most room to move around, the walkway is in better shape compared to the ground floor. There are also fewer areas where you run the risk of getting squeezed in by the horde. The automated assembly room to the south further expands your range of motion, featuring the Der Wunderfizz Perk Machine for those with extra Essence on hand.

Once you get the hang of moving around the collapsed structure, it will become easier to navigate both levels of the Android Assembly, seamlessly combining them into one massive route that can be used to navigate even the unruliest hordes.

T2 Dark Entity Containment

There’s room to breathe here with three levels to explore including the main floor circling the large containment unit, a lower level filled with static screens and computer terminals, and an upper walkway traversing a corner of the interior with access to a Crafting Table. Helpfully, the upper walkway is not so high as to inflict fall damage should you need to bail and get back down to the main floor fast.

The main floor is the only space that wraps all the way around. Grab a drink from the Stamin-Up Perk Machine to add some zip to your step and guide the horde toward the rows of computer terminals; while you can mantle over the whole section, zombies are forced to climb over the low portion, helping to slow down big hordes.

When it’s time to move on, you’ve got two options, both free of an Essence cost. Drop down the Aether Elevator shaft back to the T2 Android Assembly or activate the Anti-Grav Personnel Launcher to barrel into the T1 Executive Suite.

T1 Executive Suite / Director’s Office

Recommended round pace when exploring: 8

The Executive Suite isn’t as expansive as the larger areas you’ve encountered along the way. From the Anti-Grav Personnel Launcher, you’ll enter the lobby connected to some rec rooms and a staircase giving access to the upper landing. Though there once were two paths up, one staircase has collapsed, its missing portion broadening the large central gap that drops back down to the Mutant Research Lab. If things get tight, keep in mind that you can always jump and make your way back up.

Blast open the door on the upper landing to access the Director’s Office, simultaneously opening a door in the lower rec room adding the newly accessed office to the area’s overall flow, a great boon increasing the amount of navigable terrain. More importantly, this is where you’ll open access to T2 Sublevel 10, the final location revealed in this guide.

Recommended round pace when exploring: 9-10

Project Janus HQ teeters on the verge of collapse. Stabilize the Aether Reactors. Unleash the Sentinel Artifact. Complete the mission that began on Terminus Island.

With the power back on, the particle accelerator roars back to life and things start to get weird. Keep your head on straight, listen to your comms, and follow the indicated objectives. After all this crew’s been through, you’re finally approaching the end... but not before making an important choice.

It’s time to finish what you started.
