How to Exfil in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies

Like Vanguard and DMZ, Exfiling is one of the only ways to safely leave a match in Black Ops 6: Zombies. However, this procedure can be tricky, especially since it won’t be available at the beginning. We’ll show you how to Exfil in Black Ops 6: Zombies.

How do you Exfil in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies?

To Exfil in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, you must wait until its corresponding notification appears during a specific round. The first time it spawns is during Round 11, so you’ll need to survive until then. It’ll likely spawn again later on, but I’ll have to play more to see when it triggers exactly. No matter what, Exfils will always be available on Round 11 on both the Liberty Falls and Terminus maps.

When calling Exfil, you’ll have one minute and 30 seconds to reach its designated area. Its icon will be marked on the Tac-Map, guiding you to it. Once you touch down there, another timer will commence. You’ll have one minute to eliminate 35 zombies. If you fail to do so, you’ll lose the match, bringing down the helicopter along with it.

It may be best to call in the Exfil after you’ve cleared out a good bit of zombies within the round. However, ensure not to kill the last remaining enemy, as it will trigger the next phase. Based on my experience, the Exfil retracted once Round 12 began (without calling it in), continuing on the rest of the match. On the other hand, if the Exfil has already been called when the next round begins, the helicopter should continue to move forward.

Be warned that the Exfil process is pretty demanding, given the significant number of zombie hordes. It plays out similarly to MW3 Zombies’ extraction points, where it becomes much more challenging in a short amount of time.

The later rounds will undoubtedly prove more complex, so try your best to get those upgrades with Pack-a-Punch or Ammo Mods. If you are successful in the Exfil, you’ll leave the match safely, giving you more XP for your efforts.

Apart from Exfiling, saving and quitting the match is possible via Settings. This process hasn’t really been done before in Call of Duty, as Zombies normally ends with you either dying or completing the Easter Egg Main Quest. With this new route, you can save and then return to this match to continue off where you last left it. But if you want to begin anew or simply wish to reap the benefits of a successful mission, go with the Exfil.

I’ll continue to update this guide as I delve deeper into the later rounds. I’ll also explore the upcoming Main Quests to see if there’s any new content there, ensuring you have all the information you need to master Exfiling in Black Ops 6: Zombies.
