Complete S.A.M Trials
S.A.M Trials in Black Ops 6 Zombies are a surefire way of players earning some additional Essence for Pack-a-Punch upgrades and access the zipwires to navigate the maps as fast as possible.

Before starting a S.A.M Trial, ensure there are enough bullets in the magazines to deal plenty of damage and complete the objective before the time runs out. Completing the challenge often rewards additional Essence while the additional enemies are ideal for racking up thousands of points quickly.
Score Critical Kills
Scoring headshots in Black Ops 6 Zombies is known as scoring a Critical Kill. This kind of elimination always earns more Essence making it an excellent way to farm Essence as fast as possible. Simply aim for the head of the undead enemies on the hunt and watch the total rise rapidly.
To increase the chances of scoring Critical Kills, the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk-a-Cola enhances accuracy in addition to boosting the strength of Critical Damage generated by weapons. This makes it much easier to score headshots in those situations where a crowd of Zombies is slowly overwhelming a specific area of the map.

Whether it’s Terminus or Liberty Falls, Black Ops 6 Zombies contains a wealth of Easter Eggs for players to complete during matches. Whether it’s playing some pool in the bowling alley or completing a main quest, there are tens of thousands of Essence up for grabs by completing these tasks.
Some Easter Eggs enable players to earn up to a maximum of 60,000 Essence giving them the ability to fully Pack-a-Punch any weapon in their possession along with opening up all doors and locked areas of the map to ensure they can move around the maps with ease.
