The round-based mode in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies features a lot of blocked routes, locked doors, and removable obstacles. All of these can be accessed by spending the currency called Essence.
How To Get Essence[edit | edit source]
You can earn Essence by slaying the Zombies of all types. Sometimes, vials of Dark Aether Essence will drop when you eliminate tougher enemies in this round-based mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.
