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.

Each task grants a specific amount of event points, which are as follows:
