The Z-Rex boss fight in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is one of the most cinematic and brutal encounters to date. Taking place in the Shattered Veil map after completing the main Easter egg, this fight features multiple phases, evolving attacks, and waves of zombie reinforcements. Here’s everything you need to know to survive.
Overview of the Z-Rex Boss Fight
The Z-Rex fight is broken into four distinct phases, each introducing new mechanics and ramping up in difficulty. The key to surviving is knowing what to expect and staying stocked on gear, perks, and field upgrades.
Richtofen provides support throughout the fight, dropping ammo crates, armor, and self-revive kits. Don’t ignore these—they can save your life during the chaos.
Phase-by-Phase Strategy
Phase 1:
The Z-Rex uses basic attacks like lunges and bites. Stick to the arena's edges, use your Ray Gun Mark 2-W, and keep the Aether Shroud ready for emergencies. Focus fire on the skull and chest for maximum damage.
Phase 2:
New zombie types spawn in waves. Use a Wunderwaffe DG-2 or a powerful Pack-a-Punched weapon to crowd control. Activate your Chopper Gunner here to thin out enemies and maintain space.
Phase 3:
The Z-Rex starts tracking individual players with charge attacks. Equip Stamin-Up and PhD Flopper to boost mobility and evade attacks by sliding and jumping.
Phase 4 (Final):
The arena shrinks, and the Z-Rex becomes enraged, summoning elite zombies. Activate your second Aether Shroud charge and use powerful GobbleGums like Support Group or Power Keg to regain control.
Pro tip: To ensure you’re always stocked with the best tools, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Items like Scorestreaks, special ammo, and GobbleGums can give you the edge you need in the most intense boss battles.
Final Tips
Never underestimate healing—Stims can save you when perks are down.
Always go into the fight with full armor and upgraded weapons.
Team communication is key in co-op. Assign roles for zombie control, Z-Rex DPS, and support.
