The Bastard Sword is a new Wonder Weapon in Black Ops 6 Zombies and was introduced with the Season 1 Reloaded update. It is featured in the new map, Citadelle des Morts, which consists of a large abandoned castle with an eerie atmosphere perfectly suited to Zombies mode. The Bastard Sword can be upgraded to four elemental forms: Fire, Storm, Shadow, and Light.

In addition to the Bastard Sword and the new map, the update introduces significant new content, including gameplay features like a Field Upgrade, an Ammo Mod, a new Perk-a-Cola, and more.

This article will delve into the Bastard Sword's elemental forms in greater detail.


All Bastard Sword's elemental forms in Black Ops 6 Zombies explained

Since the update just went live, it is currently unknown how to acquire the Bastard Sword. Initially, it will be dormant, but it can later be upgraded into one of the four elemental forms.

This Wonder Weapon is a formidable melee tool that perfectly complements the new castle map. The knights who guard the castle Citadelle des Morts and are now stone statues, echo the Bastard Sword’s legacy. When equipped, this weapon slashes through undead enemies with devastating power, and its defensive parry is particularly effective for blocking incoming projectiles.

Each elemental form of the sword will grant a unique special attack, which requires charging by killing zombies. The nature of the special attack will vary depending on the elemental form chosen.

Below are the Bastard Sword’s elemental forms and their respective special abilities:

  • Caliburn: Dragon’s Fire - Create a fiery maelstrom of burning undead flesh, setting zombies alight and summoning an immense fireball.
