The Ultimate Guide To Unlocking The 'Another Round' Calling Card: Black Ops 6 Zombies' Hardest Secret
The "Another Round" Calling Card is the ultimate flex for any dedicated *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies player, representing one of the game’s most grueling and time-consuming feats: surviving 100 consecutive rounds. As of December 21, 2025, this Dark Ops Challenge remains a highly sought-after prize, but new, incredibly efficient strategies have emerged, drastically cutting down the time required to complete this epic task and claim your prestigious reward.
This article dives deep into what the "Another Round" Calling Card signifies, the exact requirements for unlocking it, and the current, fastest high-round strategies being used by the community on the latest maps to bypass the decades-long grind and secure this rare cosmetic.
The 'Another Round' Calling Card: A Badge of Honor
The "Another Round" Calling Card is not earned through standard progression or a simple seasonal challenge; it is a Dark Ops Challenge reward. Dark Ops Challenges are secret, extremely difficult, and unlisted objectives that only reveal themselves upon completion, offering a unique, non-tradable Calling Card as proof of the player's mastery and dedication.
- Game Mode: Zombies
- Challenge Name: Another Round (sometimes stylized as "Another Round?")
- Requirement: Reach Round 100
- Reward: Exclusive "Another Round" Calling Card
- Significance: It marks the player as one of the elite few who have endured the relentless, escalating difficulty of high-round Zombies gameplay.
The calling card itself has generated some discussion within the community. While some players find the visual design "underwhelming" after such an enormous time investment, others appreciate its subtle, often lore-heavy aesthetic, with some speculating it features imagery reminiscent of the classic *Buried* map.
3 Essential Strategies for Reaching Round 100 Fast
The traditional method of reaching Round 100 involves hours of "training" (kiting zombies in a loop) and relying on luck with the Mystery Box and power-ups. However, the *Black Ops 6* community has quickly developed high-efficiency "camping" strategies that exploit map design and powerful weapon/Perk combinations to make the grind significantly faster—often cutting the time down to as little as 1-3 hours.
1. The 'Ashes of the Damned' Lockdown Strategy
The map Ashes of the Damned has quickly become a favorite for high-round attempts due to a highly effective camping spot. The key to this strategy lies in locking down a specific area of the map that forces all zombie spawns into a narrow, predictable funnel.
- Map: Ashes of the Damned
- Core Concept: Find a tight, defensible position (often near a specific Perk machine or a bottleneck) where you only have to defend one or two entry points.
- Key Loadout: A fully Pack-a-Punch-ed weapon with high-damage output and a specific Ammo Mod (e.g., Brain Rot or Cryo Freeze) is essential. The Vulture Aid perk is often crucial for sustaining ammo and resources without leaving the spot.
- Time Estimate: Expert players have reported achieving Round 100 in as little as 75 to 90 minutes using this method.
2. The 'Terminus' Mutated Injection Method
The Terminus map offers an equally viable, and in some cases, even faster route to the "Another Round" Calling Card. This strategy often revolves around utilizing specific equipment or an in-game mechanic like the Mutant Injection (if available and not patched) to manage the massive hordes of zombies that appear after Round 50.
- Map: Terminus
- Core Concept: This strategy often combines a short 'training' route with a quick switch to a 'camping' spot once the zombie health scaling becomes too aggressive. The focus is on maximizing damage-per-second (DPS) against the exponentially growing health pool of the undead.
- Key Resource Management: Salvage management is critical. Players must ensure they have enough Salvage to continually upgrade equipment, re-Pack-a-Punch weapons, and buy essential armor plates to survive the high-damage output of the late-game zombies and special enemies.
- Time Estimate: Many guides boast a Round 100 completion time of around three hours or less, making it a very popular choice for the Dark Ops Challenge completion.
3. The 'Go-Big-or-Go-Home' Solo Strategy
While playing with a full squad can make the early rounds easier, the solo strategy for Round 100 is often more predictable and faster for the "Another Round" challenge, as zombie health and numbers scale differently. The solo approach requires intense focus and a perfected loadout.
- Game Mode: Solo
- Loadout Focus: Prioritize an initial loadout that allows you to quickly earn points and upgrade your primary weapon to Tier V Pack-a-Punch as fast as possible. Perks like Juggernog, Speed Cola, and Quick Revive are non-negotiable for survivability.
- Early Game: Complete the initial objectives and open the map with maximum efficiency. Your goal is to be fully set up (all Perks, Tier V weapon, high-level Armor) by Round 20-25.
- Late Game: Transition to one of the aforementioned camping spots on Ashes of the Damned or Terminus. The solo player has fewer zombies to manage but zero backup, demanding perfect execution of the strategy.
Topical Authority: Other Dark Ops Challenges to Master
The "Another Round" challenge is just one of several coveted Dark Ops Challenges available in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, each granting a unique and prestigious Calling Card. Mastering these other objectives can help you hone the skills needed for the Round 100 grind, such as resource management, speed, and map knowledge.
Here are a few other notable Dark Ops Challenges to pursue while you are working on your Round 100 strategy:
- Ingenuity: Reach Round 50 using a specific, often underpowered, weapon or mechanic (e.g., the Dragon Wing). This tests your ability to survive with limited resources.
- Invincible: Reach Round 50 without ever being downed. This challenge demands perfect positioning and a mastery of the map's zombie pathing, directly translating to better high-round strategy execution.
- Good Enough: Reach Round 20 with only your starting loadout and no upgrades. This is a pure test of early-game point management and survival skills.
- Box Addict: Buy every weapon from the Mystery Box in a single match. This requires a massive amount of points and a willingness to gamble, but it ensures you understand the full weapon roster.
Unlocking the "Another Round" Calling Card is a testament to a player's dedication to the *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies experience. By leveraging the latest, most efficient Round 100 strategies on maps like Ashes of the Damned and Terminus, you can dramatically reduce the time commitment and finally secure this legendary Dark Ops reward.
