Earn Rewards & Climb the Ranks in the Dead Ops Arcade Leaderboard Event in BO7!

Be sure to get those multipliers up, because this leaderboard event will be focused on the highest score that players can reach. The higher score you finish with in the event, the higher placement on the leaderboard, & the higher tier your rewards will be.

The Dead Ops Arcade 4 Leaderboard Event is set to begin on February 26th & will last a few days, similar to other leaderboard events.

Best High Score Strategy in Dead Ops Arcade 4

The linked video at the bottom of this page has a full in depth guide on reaching the highest score in Dead Ops Arcade 4. Your score in Dead Ops Arcade can be found at the top left corner, or while using the touchpad. Score multipliers can range anywhere from 0-9, and are found below the total score.

To start, players will need to focus on collecting as many gems, coins, golden bulls and power up drops as possible. Destructible wooden crates can be found in most arenas, while bonus areas also have a plethora of valuable loot.

Every down will cause a player to lose gems, which can be stolen by other players if in co-op. It’s best to maximize your score potential by playing Standard-Solo and first person if a player isn’t familiar with top down view gameplay.

Gobblegums aren’t mandatory but help ones include:

  • Crate Power – Players won’t lose gems upon death
  • Whose Keeping Score – Double the earn rate of drops
  • Temporal Gift – Collected power up drops last longer
  • Soda Fountain – Increase treasure drops
  • Phoenix Up – Spawn a free life

There are also incredibly useful upgrades players can purchase in the slayermart, which are covered in the full YouTube guide.

Ultimately, reaching the highest round and completing the optiona underboss arenas possible will guarantee a high score. You can also find a full round 1-80 boss fight run here.
