There’s a brand-new method to help you grind camos and level up weapons in Black Ops 6, and it’s only possible on Citadelle des Morts!
As it turns out, Black Ops 6’s newest Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts, is not only one of the best undead survival maps Call of Duty has seen in years, but it’s also an excellent way to grind weapon camos.
In fact, now that the Directed Mode nerf to camo grinding is here, fans have been looking for a new way to complete their weapon leveling in a hurry.
Now, it seems that a new, fastest method is finally here, and it’s an exploit that’s only possible in a medieval castle.
How to Grind Weapon Camos Fast – Ritual Trick
To level up your weapons and grind camos fast in Black Ops 6 Zombies, follow these steps:
- First, load into a game of Citadelle des Morts on Directed Mode.
- Follow the instructions until you unlock the Pack-a-Punch machine.

- Then, from the Pack-a-Punch, head back to the previous room via the corridor and you’ll find yourself in the Dungeon.
- When your characters are done talking, head to this wooden door behind the Quick Revive Perk-a-Cola machine.

- Interact (Square/X/F) with the hatch on the door to open it – behind it you’ll find Krafft.
- After that, head into the Dining Hall and shoot the glowing crystal above the Vulture Aid Perk-a-Cola machine.

- After being shot, the crystal will start emitting a beam of light.
- Try to stand underneath where the beam is pointing and shoot the crystal once again.

- Repeat this step, standing under the dimly reflected beams, and shooting back at the crystal to until each new beam becomes solid.
- Some of the crystals you shoot will need several shots to properly position them.
- After following the beams into the Alchemical Lab, the final laser will point toward the table, making a Paladin’s Brooch appear.

- Pick it up, then return to the Dining Hall.
- When you approach the Lion graffiti on the wall, a golden circle will appear on the ground.

- Interact with the circle to place the Paladin’s Brooch inside. Ordinarily, you’ll need to kill zombies nearby the glowing circle, turning it into a golden chest.
- Instead, we’re now able to begin the camo grind.
- Now, instead of killing zombies nearby to charge the Brooch, you actually need to move away from the Dining Hall. The best option is to head down into the Dungeon again.

- You can now kill an unlimited number of zombies, as undead will continue to spawn until the Easter Egg step is complete. But if you’re not close to the Paladin’s Brooch, the step will never complete!
- Although you can safely move to anywhere in the map without breaking the method, the hordes will only be present in the castle itself – so be sure to head back to the Dungeon when you’re ready to continue the grind!
What makes this camo grind so effective is that Directed Mode will keep the difficulty locked to Round 10. Therefore, all zombies will be able to be dispatched with ease, just like they were in the original Directed Mode strategy.
Even better, unlike the newly-nerfed guided mode, there’s no delay between waves of zombies, making this possibly the fastest camo grind yet for Black Ops 6 Zombies!
