Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded, which launched on July 2, 2025, brought a significant refresh to the game's Multiplayer mode, including a remastered map and fan-favorite weapons.1 While the Zombies mode didn't receive new maps in the initial Season 4 launch, it did get unique updates with the Reloaded patch, most notably the Starting Room Challenge Limited-Time Mode (LTM).2

Black Ops 6 Zombies: All Starting Room Challenge Rewards

How Does the Starting Room LTM Work in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

The Starting Room Challenge is a new LTM that puts a unique twist on the classic Zombies experience.3 As its name implies, players are confined to the starting room of all currently available Zombies maps. The objective is to survive endless waves of the undead within this limited space, earning rewards by reaching specific round milestones on each map.Key Mechanics of the LTM:

Locked in Spawn: Players cannot purchase doors or leave the initial spawn area of the map. This creates a highly confined and intense survival scenario.
Limited Resources: You are restricted to your chosen loadout and whatever can be found within that map's starting room. This means relying heavily on Wall Buys, Mystery Boxes, and Perk Machines if they are present in the spawn zone.
Disabled Exfil and GobbleGums: The Exfil option is unavailable, and the "Exit Strategy" GobbleGum is disabled, emphasizing pure survival without an escape route.
Normal Zombie Progression: Special Rounds will still occur as usual, and map-specific Special and Elite Zombies will begin spawning in later rounds, adding to the challenge.
Pack-a-Punch Availability: Pack-a-Punch is generally not available in the starting rooms of most maps. The exception is The Tomb, which does have a Pack-a-Punch machine in its starting area. For other maps, it's crucial to aim for Epic or Legendary rarity weapons from the Mystery Box or Wall Buys to increase your damage output.

Tips for Survival:

Utilize In-Room Features: Make full use of any Mystery Boxes, Perk Machines, and Wall Buys accessible in your starting room.
Weapon Rarity: Since Pack-a-Punch is often unavailable, prioritize acquiring higher rarity weapons (Epic or Legendary) as they offer better base damage and attachments.
Strategic GobbleGum Use: Certain GobbleGums can significantly aid your survival:
- Wonderbar!: Guarantees the next weapon from the Mystery Box is a Wonder Weapon, providing a huge boost in firepower.
- Hidden Power: Instantly upgrades your currently held weapon to Legendary rarity.
- On The House: Spawns a random Perk Power-Up, helping you acquire crucial perks without spending points.
- Crate Power: Ensures the next weapon from the Mystery Box is Pack-a-Punched (extremely valuable if Pack-a-Punch is otherwise unavailable).
- Wall Power: Ensures the next weapon purchased off a wall is Pack-a-Punched.
Map Knowledge: Understand the layout of each map's starting room to optimize movement and establish training routes. Maps with larger starting areas like The Tomb and Shattered Veil are generally considered easier for higher rounds due to more maneuverability.
Free Perk Drops: In this LTM, Perk Power-Ups can randomly drop from slain enemies, providing an additional way to gain perks.

All Starting Room LTM Rewards in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Participating in the Starting Room LTM allows players to earn a series of rewards, primarily consisting of valuable GobbleGums and XP. Each reward is unique to a specific map and round milestone and can only be obtained once per player.
