Finding Salvage isn’t tricky – just shoot down the zombies, and they will drop the scraps regularly on the ground. You can’t miss them, as they have a bright green glow about them, which is really easy to spot in the dark. At first, it might appear that you’re finding plenty of this resource as you mow down the zombies. However, there are some easy ways to increase the amount of Salvage you find in the Zombies mode, and it will be necessary for your survival.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Salvage farming guide: How to get more scrap

The main way to get the scrap-like item in Black Ops 6 Zombies is simple – kill as many undead as possible. But simply taking them down isn’t enough. You’ll earn Salvage by doing so, but the quantity will be pretty low, and you’ll eventually fall short.

The best way to increase your chances of getting more Salvage is by landing higher critical kills. This can be done by finishing zombies while imparting critical damage. In simpler words, land a few headshots, as it works for most types of undead. It’s very easy to understand when you have landed critical damage, as the health bar will reduce rapidly and turn yellow from the usual white.

To help you in this process, always try to aim down your sights, as the zoomed-in vision allows you to shoot more precisely. Landing headshots also becomes a lot easier in this way. Critical damage will also help you clear hordes of zombies quickly.

Another helpful way to get more Salvage is by using a Suppressor on your weapons. When you install a silencer on your gun, you increase the chances of an enemy dropping scrap when they’re taken down. Do note that a silencer doesn’t guarantee Salvage with every kill, but the change in drop rate is definitely noticeable.

Finally, you can also activate the Rampage Inducer in Black Ops 6 Zombies. I would suggest doing so only if you’re playing in a well-coordinated squad of four. Rampage Inducer simply increases the number of zombies that spawn to accelerate the rounds. With proper ammunition, they can kill you and your team quite easily.
