Season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces the chilling Grim Reaper Scorestreak—a devastating rocket launcher returning from the original Black Ops. Here’s how to secure and wield it effectively, whether you’re locking skulls in Multiplayer or unleashing chaos in Zombies.

🕵️‍♂️ Unlock Requirements: What You Need to Know

To obtain the Grim Reaper, you must complete the Rivals Event, an XP-based challenge that runs from June 19 to July 3, 2025 at 10 AM PT.

• XP target: Earn 622,000 XP during the event.

• Event launch bonus: A Double XP/Weapon XP weekend (June 19–24) helps roughly halve that grind.

Once you reach 622K XP, the Grim Reaper Scorestreak unlocks automatically, available in your Multiplayer Scorestreak menu and as a craftable Support Item in Zombies.

🎯 Deploying the Grim Reaper in Multiplayer

• Score requirement: Equip the Grim Reaper Scorestreak by reaching 950 score within a single life.

• Ammo & functionality:

  • Semi-auto rocket launcher

  • Magazine holds 4 rockets, with 12 rockets total

  • Rockets deal high explosive damage—150 damage in a 6.4m blast radius and up to 500 for direct hits.

  • Smoke effect covers impact zones, useful for stealth resupplies.

  • Can lock onto aircraft or launchers in multiplayer.

• Drawbacks to consider:

  • Slow rate of fire (125 RPM), long reload (6.85 s)

  • Reduces player speed to 80% while held.

Tactics for Multiplayer Use:

1. Strong killstreak setup: Combine it with UAVs or turrets to build toward the 950 score.

2. Use aircraft-locking: Ideal for cutting swarms of drones or helicopters.

3. Smoke cover: Fire then reposition under smoke—either reload or reclaim high ground.

🎮 Grim Reaper in Zombies Mode

• Crafting cost: Requires 2,000 Salvage at the Crafting Bench.

• Ammo count: Comes equipped with 24 rockets.

• Role: Acts as a powerful Support Item to clear waves or handle boss-tier enemies.

Usage Notes:

• Equip during Horde or boss rounds to take out big threats.

• Conserves rockets for high-value runs—don’t waste on low-level zombies.

🧠 Strategic Tips & Best Practices

• Save the launcher until high-impact moments—like enemy vehicle spawns or clustered enemies.

• Mind the risk: Using it draws enemy attention—plan escape or cover routes beforehand.

• Master the smoke delay: Use futuristic concealment to reload or reposition safely.
