How to activate Death Machine Scorestreak in Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduced the Death Machine, a heavy minigun. It is one of the formidable Scorestreaks within the game which is known for its rapid-fire rate and large ammunition capacity. It is a game-changer on the battlefield. It allows the players to easily shred through the opponents and climb the scorestreak ladder. However, unlocking the game-changing weapon is not a straightforward process. The player needs skills and better strategies to make the most out of it.

Unlocking and using Death Machine Scorestreak

To secure the Death Machine Scorestreak, the players must participate in the limited-time in-game events. It is not part of the default lineup. So, instead of wasting time, search for the loadout screen. Check the active events section and find out if that features the Death Machine rewards.


During the event, you will be required to complete certain specific challenges. They can vary. But they usually include tasks like racking up the kills, securing any objectives, or reaching the score milestone. After you have earned the requirements, you can easily equip Death Machine in the Scorestreaks setup.


After the Death Machine is equipped, players must earn an 825 score in a single life to activate it. Remember that it is a solid challenge, but it is totally doable if you follow the right approach and game mode.

Mastering Death Machine in combat

When you call in the minigun, remember that your positioning is everything, as the Death Machine turns players into the slow-moving powerhouse. So, to keep a balance, you will need to,

• Hold down the choke points, where the enemies are getting forced to push through.
• Pre-aim the corners for catching the opponents, off-guard.
• Using wall-penetrating rounds to hit the enemies behind the cover.

The best feature of the Death Machine kills is that all kills count towards the next scorestreak. It allows skilled players to chain together multiple powerful rewards. Just remain aware of the explosives and snipers. You will be an easy target if you get caught in the open.

Is this grind worth it?

For the aggressive players who love to control the battlefield, it is absolutely yes. While it would take effort to unlock the Death Machine, it is one of the most satisfying scorestreaks (mid-tier) in Black Ops 6. Its ability to dominate the objectives and fuel the scorestreak chains makes it quite invaluable for the players who are looking to take control over the matches.


If you are struggling to reach the 825-point threshold, just focus on the objective modes, wherein the constant actions generate more and more points. Running the support streaks like a UAV can even help maintain momentum until you get ready to unleash the devastating firepower of the minigun.
