Sometimes, two guns and a knife just aren’t enough to send the undead hordes of Black Ops 6 Zombies back into their rotting pits. Sometimes, it takes something more explosive and fiery to really cook those zombies and showcase the potential for reaching high rounds like a true master of the game.

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Liberty Falls Main Quest Guide
Black Ops 6 invites players to Liberty Falls, the West Virginia town overrun with undead that also features a main quest for unique lore and rewards!
Black Ops 6 Zombies has a plethora of Lethal Equipment for players to utilize to become better than ever and kill the undead masses. With the best Lethal Equipment in hand, players will know just what to spend their Salvage on, and what to use for their Zombies Loadouts.
8 Molotov
Burn Zombies at Slow Damage Speeds
- Thrown incendiary weapon creates a patch of flames.
- Unlocked at Level 32
- 350 Salvage
The Molotov is simple and far from elegant, providing players with a lack of Lethal Equipment that should be left where it was found, or drunk to ease the stress of never-ending zombie hordes. The Molotov is just a bottle of alcohol with a rag and a lighter, and it burns through hordes at great risk.
The flame patch left behind can hurt the player who threw it, and considering trains are going to be rather expansive in Black Ops 6, daring to napalm a zombie horde directly behind the player is a tad too risky for little reward.
7 Thermo Grenade
Slowly Release Explosives Into the Air
- Creates a large fuel-air cloud that explodes after a duration.
- Unlocked at Level 21
- 350 Salvage
The Thermo Grenade leaves a lot to be desired, and zombies don’t exactly respond well to its explosive intent. Leaving a fuel-air cloud that causes a series of mini-explosions, the Thermo Grenade looks special, but doesn’t provide the damage that it deserves.
The time between throwing the Thermo Grenade and receiving the explosive effects are pretty hectic, and it means that zombies would have probably already passed through the cloud without even knowing an explosion was set and ready.
6 Blast Trap
A Trip Mine With Delayed Explosive Potential
- Planted explosive device detonates when enemies come near.
- Unlocked at Level 41
- 350 Salvage
The Blast Trap seems like a more advanced version of the classic Trip Mine, as it can be planted on the ground and will explode once enemies are close enough. The explosive radius is decent, but it suffers from the same problem as other Trip Mine Lethals.

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Terminus Main Quest Guide
Players must fight the undead horrors and experiments that are stopping their escape from Terminus Island in this Black Ops 6 Zombies main quest!
The Blast Trap can easily disrupt zombie trains, and those who forget where they planted one might find themselves suffering for it, as a Blast Trap can create unwanted crawlers and a disruption of a train that was well maintained.
5 Combat Axe
A Throwable Axe That Can Be Picked Back Up
- Throwing axe that bounces off surfaces and kills in one hit. Can be retrieved and thrown again.
- Unlocked at Level 53
- 200 Salvage
It’s nice to get up close and personal with zombies, even if their breath oozes with rot and maggots. The reason for being so close is to feel pretty cool throwing the sharp and deadly Combat Axe, a classic tomahawk of old that will embed itself in the zombie and kill it instantly on most lower rounds.
The Combat Axe also has the advantage of being reusable with the need for Salvage, as players can simply pick it back up again from the floor or the corpse that it is embedded in. However, it can only deal with one zombie at a time, and there certainly are a lot.
4 C4
Detonate a Powerful Explosive to Eliminate Hordes
- Sticky explosive with large damage radius. Detonate remotely with E/L1/LB. Double-tap F/L1/LB for a quick detonation.
- Unlocked at Level 14
- 400 Salvage
The C4 can be lethal for both the player and the zombie hordes, as it requires players to toss it to the stuck surface of a wall or floor, before detonating it to thunderous and explosive intent. The C4 throws a tad slower than one might want, which could be an issue.

CoD Black Ops 6: How to Get Double XP Tokens
While the grind to level up in Black Ops 6 is long, there is a way to get Double XP Tokens to level up fast.
The C4 does have a great explosive radius, so those in the blast zone might want to watch out, as for players, it’s best to grab PhD Flopper to avoid any explosive injuries that can be entirely avoided.
3 Frag
The Classic Cookable Grenade
- Cookable fragmentation grenade.
- 250 Salvage
It’s hard to beat a classic, and in the case of the Frag Grenade, it remains as a simple pleasure to pull the pin and watch the 5 seconds delay before explosive hellfire is unleashed. The only problem that persists with the Frag comes from the fact that players might miss the throw window and blow themselves up.
Another issue from the Frag comes from the fact that it can roll about and bounce off of enemies, leading to a thrown explosive that may just end up being kicked back to the player, or rolled off somewhere where it causes no damage.
2 Semtex
A Sticky Grenade That Attaches to Zombies
- Reliable sticky grenade with a timed fuse.
- Unlocked at Level 9
- 250 Salvage
The Semtex removes the problem that persists with Frag Grenades, by removing the fact that it can roll about and miss its targets. With the Semtex, players can throw it at a zombie and see it stick to them, with no chance for removal, and a total chance of death.
The Semtex has explosive potential to be the best, as players can throw it and keep running their zombie train without fear of the grenade rolling about and being kicked over to cause damage elsewhere.
1 Impact Grenade
An Instant Explosive for Quick Dealings with the Undead
- Precision grenade that explodes on impact.
- Unlocked at Level 26
- 350 Salvage
The Impact Grenade works wonders for players who just want something that explodes faster than ever. As soon as the Impact Grenade touches any surface, it will explode, meaning those without ammo with a horde behind them can quickly turn around and explode them into crawlers and guts with no delays on a cook time.
The Impact Grenade also pairs great with PhD Flopper due to the fact that if a horde lurks close by, players do not have to concern themselves with self-explosive damage, and can instead just enjoy the thrills of throwing powerful grenades.
