The Hit List is arriving in Black Ops 6, and you’ll need to gear up to survive (and land some awesome rewards).

The Hit List is the first Black Ops 6 event in the game's cycle and comes shortly after the launch of Season One. There's plenty of gear and items up for grabs with this event — and the Call of Duty community will need your help to unlock them all.

Details are officially unknown until the event launches on November 21, but dataminers have uncovered the event early. Here's what we know about The Hit List in Black Ops 6!

How does The Hit List event work? All requirements

The Hit List event involves the CoD community chipping in together as one. Landing eliminations in any Black Ops 6 game mode (excluding Campaign) will count toward your and the community's Hit List total. You'll need 1,000 points to unlock all the personal rewards in The Hit List.

Here's how the scoring works:

  • Points in Multiplayer: 1 per elimination
  • Points in Zombies: 1 per five zombies eliminated
  • Points in Warzone: 5 per elimination

If you're landing consistent eliminations in Warzone, then sticking to the battle royale game mode will likely get you the most points quickly. Otherwise, gear up for a fair few Multiplayer matches or rounds of Zombies!

Remember: You don't need kills for The Hit List — eliminations (dealing damage to an enemy shortly before they are killed) will count! I suggest team-based game modes like Domination or Hardcore if you want to rack up eliminations fast!
