Season 5 of Black Ops 6 may not have been the biggest content drop the game has seen, but its launch content definitely brought a sizable chunk of stuff to get into. From the climactic conclusion to the Black Ops 6 Zombies story with the Reckoning to a string of limited-time events, weapons, and classic modes for Multiplayer, there has been a decent amount of new content to enjoy.
Black Ops 6 Season 5 is nearing its end, and while most players may be looking forward to jumping into the Black Ops 7 Beta before inevitably trying out The Haunting update for Black Ops 6 Season 6, one last event is entering the fray for Season 5. This event is none other than Undead Ascension, rewarding players with GobbleGums and some free emblems. Here is a guide to everything there is to know about the Undead Ascension Event in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
How Does the Undead Ascension Event Work in Black Ops 6 Zombies?
The Undead Ascension Event is yet another leaderboard-style Zombies event, similar to the No Cranked, No Glory Event that debuted earlier in Season 5. Just like the events before it, Undead Ascension will pit you against 29 other players, where everyone must compete for a higher placement on the leaderboard.
The placement each player gets at the end of the event will determine what rewards they receive. In this event specifically, players will need to increase their placement by earning event points, either by gaining eliminations or completing the Main Quests in Zombies. Each task grants a specific amount of event points, which are as follows:

There are two sets of rewards that players can unlock as part of the Undead Ascension Event.

Here is a quick rundown of all the rewards players can get as part of the Undead Ascension Event:
