If you’re diving into the Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you’ll notice that completing certain actions earns you medals. For example, you can earn medals for defeating a set number of enemies without taking damage or taking down multiple foes in a single attack. These medals provide more than just bragging rights; they grant extra XP that helps you level up your weapons.
There’s a range of medals to earn, and while some are straightforward, others are tied to specific challenges. Among these is the Alchemist Medal, which might seem tough at first glance, but it’s more achievable with the right strategy.
The Alchemist Medal Bug
It’s worth noting that many players have reported issues with the Alchemist Medal seemingly being bugged. If you’re having trouble getting it to register, rest assured that it is, in fact, still experiencing issues, and there’s little that can be done until there’s an official fix.
How to Earn Alchemist Medals
To qualify for the Alchemist Medal, you must quickly eliminate five enemies who are affected by two or more types of elemental damage. This can be effectively accomplished by utilizing your tactical and lethal equipment as well as Ammo mods.
The good news is that you’re not limited to just one method; any mix of more than two types of elemental damage will do.
Items That Inflict Elemental Damage
Here’s a list of items that can deal elemental damage:
- Shock Charge
- Molotov
- Dead Wire Ammo Mod
- Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod
- Elemental Pop Perk-a-Cola
You can create multiple Shock Charges and Molotovs using a crafting table and some Salvage. For Ammo mods, you can equip them via an Arsenal machine.
For example, you could throw a Molotov along with a Shock Charge, then eliminate the zombies affected by both. Alternatively, deploying a Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod after tossing a Molotov can work just as well. Essentially, any pairing of two elemental damage types should suffice.
To succeed, just lead a group of zombies your way, set up the elemental damage combinations, and take them down quickly with your weapon or an explosive. Happy gaming!
