Raptor One, we need to thank you. You’re always there for us in Call of Duty Zombies when we need to get out of Dodge in games like Black Ops Cold War.
It’s such a blessing to see that you’re back in Black Ops 6 and getting the shine you deserve. Usually, helicopter pilots are just used as fodder to feel bad for when a rocket inevitably takes them down (RIP, Mike from Resident Evil 4), but your appearance in the new game’s return to round-based Zombies is a welcome change.
Raptor One can be seen in the opening cutscene for BO6’s first Zombies map, Terminus, but there’s no chopper to be found as he and the rest of the squad have been in prison for five years. But now that it’s time to escape, will Raptor One be able to get behind the stick of a whirlybird once more?
Here’s all the info we have on the Exfil feature in Black Ops 6.
Can you Exfil in BO6 Zombies?
Yes, the Exfil feature is returning in Black Ops 6 Zombies after it was first introduced in 2020’s Black Ops Cold War. The ability to leave with any accomplishments or loot while still alive has been a solid addition to the franchise, and Treyarch agrees.
“At some point, even the most hardened, strategically focused Zombies player needs to extricate themselves from the relentless hordes, and once you want to leave Terminus, you can call upon Raptor One to locate a landing site while you race to secure it before you’re all overwhelmed,” Treyarch said about the first BO6 Zombies map. “After clearing the vicinity, you may yet live to see another match.”
Alternatively, Treyarch says, “you can continue to explore the island, facing tougher and tougher crowds of ghoulish entities until you succumb to the threats.” The choice is yours. But sometimes, the choice isn’t yours, and you have to leave your group to go touch grass. That’s what Exfil is truly perfect for.
Exfil won’t necessarily be required for solo players, though. Treyarch has confirmed a “save and quit” feature for solo play, where players grinding Zombies mode by themselves will be able to quit and save their progress to return later.
This is obviously not possible when in multiplayer, so Exfil comes in handy when playing with others. Keep it in mind if the Zombies heat gets a bit too hot or you need to take a break.
