‘Reckoning’ has finally begun here in BO6 Zombies & players will soon be hard at work to solve the Easter Egg for the map. As with previous Black Ops 6 Zombies maps, there’s a full fledged boss fight at the end of the Easter Egg. This will be the final boss fight of the Black Ops 6 Zombies season & narrative. Today, we’re going to go over the easiest methods to combatting the boss, as well as the best Loadouts/weapons you should bring into the fight. Here’s what you need to know:
How the Reckoning Boss Fight Works
After completing all steps of the Main Quest, players are sent to tower 3 where they can vote on which character they’d like to help: Richtofen or SAM.
Siding with Richtofen triggers a boss fight with SAM, and vice versa.
Canon SAM Boss Fight
SAM is arguably one of the toughest boss fights to date. The best strategy is managing crowd control and evading as many SAM attacks as possible, while focusing on the red weak points on her containment sphere.
Players should damage SAM as much as possible during her aggressive spinning attack, which will lead her to fire a red laser that eventually reveals her vulnerable weak points.
There’s no access to any machines on this roof, while SAM trials can also initiate which punish players with grief if they don’t achieve legendary.
