How to unlock the secret chimney trap in CoD Black Ops 6 Zombies

One of the hidden gems within the Citadelle des Morts map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is the ability to activate a secret fire trap that can be extremely helpful for dispatching waves of zombies during gameplay. This guide will explain how this trap functions and the steps required to set it off.

Finding the Chimneys and Activating the Secret Fire Trap

As previously mentioned, there are multiple chimneys scattered throughout the Citadelle des Morts map that players can use to activate a unique fire trap. Here’s what you need to know:

• At first, none of the chimneys are lit, but if you can ignite all of them quickly, you will unlock the trap.
• To light the chimneys, you can craft Molotov cocktails at a crafting table.
• You can also utilize the Caliburn sword, a fire sword associated with the dragon, to ignite the chimneys. Instructions for unlocking this weapon will be covered in related guides.
• In total, there are 4 chimneys that need to be found and lit, and their locations are fixed.

It’s essential to light the chimneys quickly. If you spend too long moving between them to ignite the wood inside, the trap will not activate properly. It is recommended to use the Energizing perk before attempting this challenge, along with the stronghold cannon for faster travel across the map.

Below are the exact locations of the four chimneys needed for the trap. You can light them in any order, but here’s the most efficient sequence to follow:

Chimney #1

• Location: Found in the living room where the Energizing perk machine is located (you can activate the perk before lighting this chimney).

Chimney #2

• Location: Situated inside the alchemy lab next to the arsenal machine.

Chimney #3

• Location: Located in the room with knight statues, right behind the throne in the center of the courtyard.

Chimney #4

• Location: Inside the tavern building (using the stronghold cannon from atop the wall will launch you directly onto the tavern roof).

After igniting the last chimney, if you’ve done so swiftly, a special fire trap will activate. From then on, as zombies pass by, the chimney will shoot fire orbs that can eliminate enemies in the vicinity (you’ll be safe from harm).

This trap acts as support to help you manage the undead more effectively. However, remember that the trap does not last forever, and after a while, it will deactivate. Fortunately, you can reactivate this trap every two rounds, so make the most of this feature to enhance your gameplay experience.
