The Shadow Hunt event in Black Ops 6 is about to begin, which will bring exciting new challenges and rewards for players. Whether you are a BO6 multiplayer, Zombies or Warzone player you can participate in this event and earn rewards. Here's everything you need to know about the Shadow Hunt event, its rewards, and some of the latest leaks about upcoming zombies content.
The Shadow Hunt event is a special in-game event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6), launching on February 13, right after the Terminator event ends. It stands out from previous events by introducing challenges that players must complete in order to unlock various rewards. Unlike events that mainly focus on collecting items or grinding for experience, the Shadow Hunt event requires you to complete specific objectives within multiplayer, Warzone, or Zombies modes.
Each tier of the event has three challenges—one for each mode—and you only need to complete one challenge per tier to unlock that tier's reward. The rewards include cosmetics like sprays and emblems, as well as useful in-game items such as double XP tokens, weapon charms, and even a new TR2 Marksman Rifle.
The Shadow Hunt event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is scheduled to begin on February 13, 2025, and will run until February 20, 2025.
Here’s when you can expect the Shadow Hunt event to start in your time zone:

The leaks surrounding Black Ops 6 zombies have been nothing short of intriguing. The Ghost of Hope, a well-known leaker in the Call of Duty space, has provided insights into future content. According to these leaks, BO6 zombies will have a total of seven round-based maps. However, one of the seasons will likely not feature a map, with the most probable seasons being Season 4 or 5.
Additionally, the next major map for zombies seems to be The Mansion, followed by Janice Towers. These maps will continue to push the narrative forward, with the crew heading to Liberty Falls. Players will also encounter new wonder weapons, including the return of the V vafa, which has been a staple in Call of Duty since World at War.
