The Shadow Hunter event has been revealed, giving both Black Ops 6 and Warzone players the opportunity to earn unique rewards you won’t want to miss.

Continuing on from The Terminator event, Shadow Hunter is the latest offering in Call of Duty. While the rewards for that event left some fans disappointed, that’s unlikely to be the case this time around. Treyarch has brought back a fan-favorite gun and added a new perk that is sure to see plenty of use.

Event details

Activision

While the events in Black Ops 6 so far have oriented around simple tasks like getting XP or collecting drops from enemies, the Shadow Hunter event brings back dedicated event challenges that you’ll need to work through.

There are three different challenges that can be completed for each reward, one each for Warzone, multiplayer, and Zombies. The good news is that completing any of them will count, so you can obtain the event’s rewards regardless of what mode you prefer.

This event is far from the only thing Season 2 has to offer, with the best Warzone loadouts and best Black Ops 6 guns changing big time after the patch introduced a range of buffs and nerfs.
