If you just learned about the Nuketown Easter egg in the game and want to try it out yourself but don’t know how to trigger it, my Black Ops 6 Nuketown Mannequin Easter egg complete guide will help.
While Easter eggs are mostly common in the Black Ops 6 Zombies game mode, a few of them being featured in Multiplayer and Campaign is not far-fetched.
Black Ops 6 Season 1 introduced a multitude of new content to the game.
Zombies mode got the new Directed Mode for casual players looking to experience the main quest with a ton of content planned for mid-season, including the new Zombies map, Avalon: Citadelle des Morts.
On the other hand, the Multiplayer mode got a variety of new maps, modes and other such content.
Similarly, Warzone players could download the Warzone Season 1, FINALLY!
Among all these new additions, we got a secret Easter egg added to the iconic map, Nuketown, that many players not even know about.
Seeing that, I decided to prepare a detailed guide covering how to trigger the Nuketown Easter egg in Black Ops 6.
Along with details on what it does and whether there are any gameplay benefits or rewards that you get from it.
What happens in Nuketown Mannequin Easter egg in Black Ops 6

When players trigger the Nuketown Mannequin Easter egg, they see a Fallout-like loading screen.
Followed by a visual filter that looks like watching something through an old CRT TV with the scan lines and grainy texture.

Apart from that, upon triggering the Easter egg, Mannequins start coming out of the ground, like zombies, following and attacking you.
There’s one more cool thing that you see in the Nuketown Easter egg.

That is a ton of Mannequin audience sitting on the leftmost side of the map, “Boo’ing” and “Cheering” you.
Whenever you kill a player, the Mannequins will cheer for you.
On the other hand, whenever you shoot them or kill the attacking Mannequin, they Boo.
Other than that, I didn’t find anything worth sharing in this Easter egg.
However, if you think I missed anything important, please let me know in the comments.
Do you get rewards for completing the Nuketown Easter egg in Black Ops 6?

The short answer is No! You don’t get any rewards from completing the Nuketown Easter egg.
So, if you are not interested in the above things I mentioned, you can skip this Easter egg as triggering it requires a lot of work.
Until and unless you are a streamer or content creator looking for real challenges and good clips to share with your audience.
With all the basic details out of the way, let us talk about how you can trigger the Black Ops 6 Nuketown Easter egg?
How to trigger the Black Ops 6 Nuketown Easter egg

To trigger the Nuketown Easter egg in Black Ops 6, you must shoot out the heads of all the Mannequins that spawn on the map in under 1 minute 30 seconds.
A usual TDM (Team Deathmatch) that takes place in the Nuketown map is 10 minutes long.
So, to successfully trigger the Easter egg, you must shoot out the head of the Mannequins before the timer hits 8 minutes 30 seconds.

I wanted to include the location of the Mannequins in this guide, but as I was working on it, I found that they spawn randomly around the map.
Moreover, I also found that the exact count of the Mannequins whose heads you have to pop is different.
After seven to eight failed runs (I didn’t know about the time restriction), the best way I found to trigger the Nuketown Easter egg easily was by checking every corner of one side and then only moving to the other one.
The mistake I was making was running around the map and finding out I missed one Mannequin in the previous location, wasting a ton of time and mostly failing the run.
So take it slow!
Clear one part of the town, check every corner, and then only move to the other one!
Here’s a video guide where I show how to trigger the Nuketown Easter egg:
If you want to practice or experience the Nuketown Easter egg without worrying about other players, I recommend doing it in a Private Match.
How to play Nuketown Private Match in Black Ops 6

To play the Nuketown map in Private Match, from the Multiplayer menu, select “Find A Match.”

Once you do that, you will find different Quickplay and Featured match options along with “Private Match” and “Training Course.”
Select the Private Match option!

Next, a window with two options will appear on the right side.
Select the first one that says, “Create Private Match.”

In the Private Match menu, the Vault map is selected by default.
To change it to Nuketown, select the “Game Setup” option.

In the Game Setup menu, click on the Maps card.

From the list of Maps, select Nuketown and then start the match.
