Liberty Falls, one of the engaging maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, combines strategic gameplay with various Easter eggs and intense zombie encounters. To survive and beat Liberty Falls, players must explore, unlock areas, and use crafted weapons effectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide to overcoming the Liberty Falls zombies and reaching the ultimate victory on this map.
1. Unlock Essential Areas and Gather Resources
In Liberty Falls, progression is all about unlocking key areas. Your starting point is a small area, but expanding to other sections—like the church, bank, and bowling alley—grants access to weapons, upgrades, and hidden items that make survival easier. Prioritize earning enough Essence (the in-game currency) by killing zombies and completing objectives, then use it to open doors to vital locations like the bank and the Motor Lodge.
Each area contains items needed to survive and advance through the map. For example, at the bank, you’ll find clues to open the vault, while the bowling alley has a hidden code for the main Easter egg quest. Completing these side objectives gives you access to unique weapons and boosts that help tackle tougher zombies.
2. Master the Easter Egg Quest
The Easter egg quest is central to Liberty Falls and offers rewards that make a difference in your survival. To start, head to the church, where the Pack-a-Punch machine resides, which lets you upgrade your weapons. Unlocking the Pack-a-Punch requires 2,500 Essence, so save up before making your way to the church. Once there, interact with a hidden generator near the Pack-a-Punch to activate the first step of the Easter egg.
This quest also involves finding parts for powerful weapons like the Thrustodyne Jet Gun. To assemble the Jet Gun, collect parts from areas like the Motor Lodge, Radio House Electronics, and Riverside Backstreet. Each part requires some strategy to obtain. For instance, the Water Valve part requires you to fill a gauge without interruption, which is challenging unless you’re playing with a squad or using decoy grenades to distract zombies.
3. Craft and Use Special Weapons
Crafting weapons like the Jet Gun and LTG (Laser-Tesla Gun) is essential for handling the tougher zombies. For instance, the Jet Gun can be assembled in the Motor Lodge once you’ve gathered all necessary parts. This weapon’s strong suction ability is key for collecting items hidden throughout the map, such as the LTG components that are needed for the Easter egg.
The LTG itself is a powerhouse weapon ideal for crowd control, as it sends electric bolts through waves of zombies. Use the Jet Gun to pull items out of hard-to-reach spots, like the floating hat in the church or items above the barber shop window. These crafting mechanics introduce strategic depth, as assembling powerful weapons like these takes planning and requires careful management of your resources.
4. Unlock and Use the Vault in the Bank
The Liberty Falls bank vault is one of the main Easter egg elements. To access it, locate three codes hidden across the map. The first code is inside the bank itself, the second is in Olly’s Comics, and the third can be found at the bowling alley. Each code is on a sticky note hidden behind objects like glass bottles or counters, so keep your eyes peeled.
Once you have the full combination, return to the vault in the bank and input the code. Inside, you’ll find safe deposit boxes containing rare weapons and valuable loot. This cache can turn the tide in later rounds, as the vault contains items that boost your firepower significantly, like high-damage shotguns and heavy machine guns.
5. Handle Zombie Bosses with Tactics
Higher rounds introduce mini-boss zombies, including Manglers and Abominations. Manglers carry cannons that can be used as a weapon drop, while Abominations drop items for crafting. Try targeting their weak points to maximize damage and drop valuable items quickly.
Each boss requires specific tactics. For Manglers, aim at their arm cannons to neutralize them faster, especially if you’re playing solo. Abominations require more firepower and are best taken down with a well-upgraded weapon from the Pack-a-Punch machine. Don’t forget to gather any keys they drop, as these are used to unlock vault boxes for extra rewards.
6. Defend the Church and Final Objectives
Towards the endgame, the church becomes a focal point as more zombies spawn and bosses appear. In this area, use the Pack-a-Punch machine to enhance weapons, ideally upgrading to level three. The church also has a Dark Aether machine, which triggers a nuke effect when activated, clearing out nearby zombies. This effect can be a lifesaver, especially when overwhelmed by zombie waves.
Lastly, for the final stages of the Easter egg, use the Thrustodyne Jet Gun to collect the final components for the LTG and defeat any remaining zombie waves. The combination of these two weapons can make it much easier to survive high rounds and finish the main questline.
