Earning medals in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a key part of Treyarch’s 2024 release. After completing a specific in-game task during multiplayer and Zombies matches, medals will appear at the top of the screen to notify players of their achievements on the virtual battlefield. Ranging from scoring a kill from afar or the coveted Moonshot medal which takes a bit of patience, there are medals for almost every single in-game action.
One medal in particular that’s hard to earn is the Alchemist medal available in all Zombies maps and modes. It requires spending some Essence on specific items in order to see the medal appear while fending off endless waves of undead opposition.

The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Citadelle Des Morts map is drawing near, bringing lots of exciting features that fans should expect to see.
How To Earn Alchemist Medals
To earn an Alchemist medal in Black Ops 6, players need to kill five or more Zombies rapidly while they’re affected by two or more elements. This means the medal can’t be earned by using any weapons that don’t have an Ammo Mod equipped but it can be obtained if players also craft or choose the right equipment before loading into the action.
For example, players can hit Zombies with a Thermo Grenade before following up with shots from a weapon using the Dead Wire Ammo Mod to earn an Alchemist medal. The most effective method of earning the medal involves players using the combination of a Shock Charge and a Molotov so the undead is impacted by electricity and fire.
Using the equipment in the early rounds can eliminate Zombies so we recommend waiting until the higher rounds so the fire and electric only deal light damage before finishing them off with any weapon from the ever-expanding arsenal.
The easiest method of earning the Alchemist medal involves building a large horde of Zombies and then throwing the Molotov into them to start the burning process. Next, follow up with a Shock Charge in the middle of the crowd to deal the electrifying damage required to meet the medal criteria. While the Zombies are being burnt and electrocuted, shoot them and the medal will appear at the top of the screen.
Although the process of earning the Alchemist medal in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is a tedious one, it’s worth doing for those looking to earn all of the medals that are on offer in the mode.
