As the year winds down, Treyarch shows no signs of letting up on delivering fresh content for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Among the latest additions is a powerful new melee weapon for Zombies mode: the Power Drill. If you’re eager to get your hands on this weapon and learn all about it, our guide covers everything you need to know about the Power Drill in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
How To Get The Power Drill In Black Ops 6 Zombies
The Power Drill is a reward players can earn by accumulating 1,000 elimination points in the current "The Hit List" event, which runs until December 5, 2024, giving plenty of time for grinding. You can earn these points across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.
Eliminations are counted differently across the different modes, as shown below:
- Multiplayer: 1 point per elimination
- Zombies: 1 point per 5 eliminations
- Warzone: 5 points per elimination
While you could grind in Warzone, the larger maps and slower kill rates work against you. Instead, we recommend focusing on Zombies mode. By reaching higher rounds in Terminus or Liberty Falls, you’ll rack up elimination points quickly, especially when using Wonder Weapons and Easter eggs that can wipe out entire waves.
Alternatively, you can unlock the Power Drill by purchasing the Hell’s Cleaner Bundle for 1,400 COD Points. This bundle includes the Kill Bit Weapon Blueprint for the Power Drill along with other cosmetic unlocks.
How Good Is The Power Drill In Black Ops 6 Zombies?
When unlocked, the Power Drill is a fast melee weapon, making it perfect for dealing with zombies if you’re overrun. Although its damage output is lower compared to other weapons, its speed makes it invaluable, especially for higher rounds.
You don’t have to leave the Power Drill in its basic form, either. You can upgrade it to Legendary rarity, Pack-a-Punch it to Tier 3, and add a Melee Macchiato attachment. This combination boosts the damage to a massive 55,000 per swipe. While it may not outshine firearms in raw power, the Power Drill is a strong addition to your loadout. Now that you know how to get it and its benefits, it’s time to dive into Black Ops 6 Zombies!
