Salvage Farming Guide: How to Earn Salvage Fast

Salvage is used to upgrade and modify your weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (BO6) Zombies. This guide will show you the fastest ways to farm Salvage and where to use it effectively in the game.

How to Farm Salvage

How to Earn Salvage Faster
Deal Critical Damage on Zombies (Headshots / Explosives) Equip the Silencer (Loadout Attachment) Activate Rampage Inducer (Increases overall difficulty) Vending Machine Easter Egg (Meleeing the Vending Machine) Blood Pool Easter Egg (Throwing 3x Semtex)

Deal Critical Damage on Zombies

Salvage drops randomly when you kill zombies, but you can increase drop rates by dealing critical damage. Aim for headshots and use explosives on zombie hordes to clear waves efficiently and boost your Salvage yields.

Equip the Silencer on Your Loadout

Adding the Suppressor Muzzle Attachment increases the chance of dropping extra salvage per zombie kill. You unlock this attachment early at Weapon Level 2 — The Silencer can be equipped on your loadout from the get-go.

Activate Rampage Inducer

To boost Salvage farming while amping up the challenge, activate the Rampage Inducer in the starting area to increase zombie spawn rates. Though not the most efficient method for Salvage farming, this option is great for players seeking an adrenaline rush while earning extra Salvage.

Vending Machine Easter Egg (Liberty Falls)

Once per round, you can crouch and melee the vending machine on the left by the Motor Lodge (spawn area), and there is a chance for it to drop Salvage.

Note: The vending machine's hitbox is a bit finicky. Move around while crouching and meleeing it until you find the sweet spot.

Blood Pool (Red Orb) Easter Egg

You can get a total of 200 Salvages for doing the Blood Pool Easter Egg. To get the Salvages, head over to the West Main Street and throw 3 Semtex at the Blood Pool near the Armor Wall Buy.

Salvage Drops Are Player-Specific
