How To Get The Basketball Easter Egg on Terminus in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode offers a wealth of content beyond the main thrill of taking down zombie hordes each round. Some of this content comes in the form of Easter eggs.

While some Easter eggs offer useful perks to help in your battle against the undead, others - like the Basketball Easter egg - are just for a bit of fun between waves (with some rewards thrown in too). Here’s a breakdown of how to unlock the Basketball Easter egg on the Terminus map in Black Ops 6.

How To Get The Basketball Easter Egg And Max Essence

To unlock the Basketball Easter egg on the Terminus map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, start by loading onto the map and heading outside the Engineering area. Jump onto the two crates in the center, face west toward the living quarters, and look up to spot a basketball stuck in the roof rafters.

You'll need to shoot the ball down as you jump, but accuracy is key, so choose a precise weapon. The rewards for completing this Easter egg depend on the weapon’s projectile type - each pellet that hits the ball grants you 2,000 Essence. Use the Pack-a-Punch version of the ASG for maximum rewards, which fires eight pellets and yields 16,000 Essence.

Once you shoot the ball, it will roll off the roof and into the basketball hoop in the Rec Yard. This action triggers a white flash on the screen, and if you use a regular weapon, 2,000 Essence will appear from the hoop. With the ASG, however, you’ll receive the full 16,000 Essence.

And that's how you can unlock the Basketball Easter egg and its rewards on Terminus in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
