Black Ops 6 Zombies just got spookier! The Haunted Havoc Limited-Time Mode launched as part of “The Haunting of Call of Duty” Halloween event on October 9, 2025, bringing a terrifying twist to the zombie-slaying experience. Unlike traditional Zombies gameplay, Haunted Havoc throws aggressive, fast-moving undead at you from the very start—testing your survival skills like never before. Here’s everything you need to know about navigating this challenging LTM.
What Makes Haunted Havoc Different?
Haunted Havoc flips the traditional Zombies formula on its head. In standard BO6 Zombies, enemies start weak and gradually become stronger. Haunted Havoc reverses this completely: zombies arrive aggressive, quick, and deadly from round one.
Key Differences:
- Zombies attack with high speed immediately
- Damage output escalates rapidly each round
- Zombie health is reduced through round 15 (easier eliminations)
- Encounters with special enemies like Mimics, Jack-o’-Lanterns, and forced Rampage Inducers
- Completion rewards include 5 unique GobbleGums, 1 Ultra GobbleGum, and 15,000 XP per map
This creates intense, high-stakes gameplay requiring quick thinking and decisive action from the outset.

A: You can play Haunted Havoc either solo or with a squad! After selecting the LTM from the mission menu, you choose between solo play or squad matchmaking based on your preference. Solo mode offers higher difficulty scaling but better resource control, while squad play allows cooperation and shared objective completion. Both options award the same rewards upon completion.
Q2: What happens if I don’t complete Haunted Havoc before the event ends?
A: While the exact event end date hasn’t been officially confirmed, seasonal Halloween events typically run 2-3 weeks. Once the event concludes, Haunted Havoc becomes unavailable until next year’s Halloween rotation. However, rewards earned during active gameplay remain permanently. To secure the unique GobbleGums and XP rewards, complete Haunted Havoc across multiple maps before the event concludes.
