The Meteor Easter Egg on Terminus in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is a powerful hidden side objective that allows players to bring down a meteor impacting another part of the map. Successfully completing this Easter egg yields high-value loot at the crash site and can drop rare weapons, ammo mods, and other valuable rewards.
This guide explains the full process — from preparation and activation to collecting rewards — in clear, actionable steps.
What Is the Meteor Easter Egg?
The Meteor Easter Egg is a side mission that can be activated after progressing through key parts of the Terminus Zombies map. Completing it causes a meteor to crash on a remote island, where players can collect powerful loot. It’s a high-risk, high-reward objective that boosts gear while challenging coordination and combat.
Step 1: Restore Power by Activating AMP Generators
Before beginning the Meteor Easter Egg, you must first restore power on Terminus by activating the three AMP Generators located around the map.
To restore power:
- Locate and activate the first AMP Generator.
- Defend it from zombies until fully charged.
- Repeat for the second and third generators.
Once all three AMP Generators are charged and defended, full power is restored across the map, unlocking deeper objectives required for the Easter egg.
Step 2: Equip a Dead Wire Ammo Mod
After restoring power, you’ll need the Dead Wire ammo mod applied to your weapon. This special ammo type allows you to interact with key targets related to the Meteor Easter Egg.
To prepare:
- Visit an Arsenal Machine.
- Spend salvage to apply Dead Wire to a weapon with good accuracy and range.
Having the Dead Wire mod ready is essential to progressing the Easter egg.
Step 3: Activate the Tower Targets
Once your weapon has Dead Wire:
- Use the modified weapon to shoot two specific tower targets on the map from certain vantage points.
- The first tower target is located near storage areas facing north.
- The second target is up high facing southeast.
Make sure each tower’s top lights change color or show indication of being hit — this confirms the hit registered for Easter egg progress.
Step 4: Upgrade the Void Cannon
With both tower targets completed:
- Proceed to the Void Cannon area on the Gun Platform.
- Spend essence to activate and upgrade the Void Cannon — this will enable it to fire at the incoming meteor.
Upgrading the Void Cannon is the final trigger that causes the meteor to fall.
Step 5: Go to the Meteor Crash Site
After firing the Void Cannon:
- A meteor will crash in a distant location on the map, typically northeast on Castle Rock Island.
- Travel to the crash site using available transport or a boat.
- Once there, loot the impact area for valuable rewards.
At the crash site, players can expect to find:
- Salvage
- Armor plates
- Equipment
- Ammo mods
- Potentially rare weapons or Wonder Weapons
Collect everything you can, as the meteor site is a generous source of high-tier loot.
Tips for Success
- Activate the Easter egg earlier in the match when zombie levels are manageable.
- Coordinate with teammates to divide responsibilities (generator defense, mod application, tower hits).
- Use high-accuracy weapons with Dead Wire to ensure tower hits register.
- Bring plenty of essence for Void Cannon upgrades.
Final Notes
The Meteor Easter Egg on Terminus is an advanced side objective that provides significant rewards for players willing to invest the effort. By restoring power, preparing the proper ammo mod, hitting critical targets, and firing the Void Cannon, you can bring down a meteor and claim its rich loot.
Complete this Easter egg to bolster your firepower and resources as you push into higher rounds.
