Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has introduced an exciting variation to its undead experience through the Zombies Snacks limited-time mode. This fresh take transforms traditional survival mechanics by implementing an innovative energy system that dramatically alters how players approach zombie encounters. The mode emphasises dynamic gameplay and strategic resource management while maintaining the core thrills that make Zombies mode compelling.
Players must adapt their survival strategies since conventional health regeneration methods no longer apply. Instead, success depends on maintaining energy levels through consumable items scattered throughout each map. This fundamental shift creates more engaging moment-to-moment gameplay that rewards aggressive play whilst punishing passive approaches.
Understanding the Zombies Snacks Game Mode
The Zombies Snacks mode revolutionises the classic undead formula by substituting the traditional self-restoring health system with a finite energy gauge that requires active replenishment through food consumption. Unlike standard gameplay where health gradually recovers, this energy meter consistently depletes during movement and combat scenarios.
Energy restoration occurs through consuming various edible items discovered across the battlefield. These sustenance items serve as the primary mechanism for maintaining player survivability. Several methods exist for replenishing energy during Zombies Snacks encounters:
- Consuming snack items provides +50 energy points
- Drinking Perk beverages grants +150 energy boost
- Chewing GobbleGum delivers +50 energy restoration
- Utilising Stimshot equipment adds +50 energy
- Applying Light Mend Ammo Modification gives +5 energy per glyph, increasing to +10 with Extra Strength Augment enhancement
- Equipping Jugger-Nog Perk expands the maximum energy capacity
The mode incorporates additional power-ups that either accelerate energy recovery or reduce depletion rates. The Refrigerator PowerUp stands out as particularly valuable – when activated, all eliminated zombies release food items temporarily. Meanwhile, Flow Mode activates after eliminating 10 zombies without sustaining damage, providing enhanced damage output alongside special benefits including improved weapon handling and movement speed. However, receiving any damage immediately terminates the flow state.
Energy meter depletion mechanics vary between game modes. Standard Zombies reduces energy through both damage received and movement actions. Directed Mode offers a more forgiving approach where energy only decreases from damage, making it suitable for players preferring simplified resource management.
How to Unlock All Zombies Snacks Rewards
The Zombies Snacks mode provides multiple rewards that become available after completing the Main Quest for the first time on any of the five available maps – Liberty Falls, Terminus, Citadelle des Morts, The Tomb, or Shattered Veil. Players can pursue these rewards in either Standard or Directed Mode, though reward quantities differ based on selected difficulty.
Zombies Snacks Directed Mode Rewards
Completing maps in Directed Mode grants:
- Custom GobbleGum collection containing 4 items per map
- Each collection includes one high-rarity GobbleGum plus 3 additional GobbleGums of varying rarities
- 15,000 XP awarded per map completion (totalling 75,000 XP across all maps)
Zombies Snacks Standard Mode Rewards
Standard Mode completion provides enhanced rewards:
- Custom GobbleGum collection featuring 6 items per map
- Each collection contains one high-rarity GobbleGum alongside 5 additional GobbleGums of different rarities
- 15,000 XP granted per map completion (totalling 75,000 XP across all five maps)
Players should note that rewards are only distributed upon the initial completion of each map’s Main Quest within the respective mode. Subsequent completions of the same map-mode combination will not yield additional rewards. This encourages players to experience all available maps and both difficulty modes to maximise their reward potential.
The limited-time nature of this mode makes it essential for players to prioritise completion during its availability window. With the potential to earn substantial XP and valuable GobbleGum collections, the Zombies Snacks mode represents one of the most rewarding temporary additions to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s expanding content portfolio.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available on multiple platforms with the standard edition priced at approximately $60-70 USD depending on platform and retailer.
