Black Ops 6 Zombies: Unlock the Whack-A-Crab Free Perk

Anyone who’s played whack-a-mole at a carnival knows how frustrating it can be to whack away at something and not receive any reward. Fortunately, Black Ops 6 Zombies turns that frustration into fun by allowing players to vent their anger on cute crabs on Terminus Island while earning valuable rewards, including a guaranteed free perk!

Black Ops 6 Zombies is packed with hidden secrets, one of which is a series of whack-a-crab games that can unlock exciting goodies for your loadout, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience as you face off against the terrifying undead horde.

Head to Crab Island and Take Down the Crab Cage

To reach Crab Island, players will need to hop on a boat. Once you arrive, make your way to the central rock formation. Look up at the tree line, where you’ll spot a crab trap lodged in the branches. Use any type of explosive to dislodge the crab trap; this will activate four different whack-a-crab games scattered around Crab Island.

Each whack-a-crab mini-game will temporarily despawn zombies, allowing you to focus on the game without the threat of being attacked.

Whack-a-Crab for a Free Perk

Directly beneath where you knocked down the crab cage, you’ll find a bunch of crabs popping in and out of the sand. Use a melee attack on one of them to initiate a mini-game where you have 30 seconds to hit as many crabs as possible using a baseball bat. After the timer runs out, you’ll receive a random Perk-a-Cola drop, giving you an additional perk for free!

Whack-a-Crab for Free Essence

To the left of the island, near the Armor Wall-Buy, there’s another group of crabs waiting to be whacked. Attack them with a melee weapon to trigger another whack-a-crab mini-game. Once the 30 seconds is up, you’ll be rewarded with a bundle of Essence canisters, which can net you thousands of extra points.

Whack-a-Crab for a Free Weapon

Next, head to the Armor Wall-Buy and hug the rock wall on your left to locate another crab spawn. Again, use a melee attack to start a 30-second mini-game. Depending on how many crabs you hit, you could earn a random weapon ranging from green to orange rarity.

Whack-a-Crab for Free Salvage

Finally, near the Crafting Bench, look for a circular rock on your map. Position yourself above it to find yet another crab mini-game. Initiate it with a melee hit, and once the timer starts, you’ll have 30 seconds to whack crabs for a chance to collect free Salvage, which can be used to upgrade weapon rarities and acquire new equipment.

By participating in these whack-a-crab games, you’ll not only relieve some frustration but also earn valuable perks, weapons, and resources to enhance your gameplay experience in Black Ops 6 Zombies!
