The First Room
On ZFRR, the First Room of Terminus is the part of Blacksite 13 that the crew reaches from the cells, every door shut. The game starts in the Holding Cells, the prison block where the former members of Requiem were held for six years; from there the players walk into the Guard Station, where Peck and Strauss hole up, and out onto the Security Overlook, an open-air area with a flight of stairs under a guard tower. The minimap names these three areas.
The ways out stay shut: the doors on to the Interrogation Rooms, next to the cells, and to the Control Center, past the Security Overlook. Game8 also lists a door buy at the Elevator; the Maglev elevator at the back of the spawn area goes down to the Bio Lab. No source gives the price of these first doors. Like on every map of Black Ops 6, each player starts with a weapon of their own loadout.
GS45
750 Essence, an Uncommon pistol on a wall of the Holding Cells, the only wall weapon of the First Room.
Dropped weapons
The official guide advises looking on the floor of the Guard Station for a Common weapon dropped by a Project Janus guard. Fandom names the two guns the guards drop, the XM4 and the Jackal PDW, whose rarity rises with the round.
The AMP Generator
The first of the three generators of the island stands in the Guard Station. Once started, it has to be defended for 30 seconds while it powers this part of the facility. On the No Support and With Support boards it may not be turned on.
A Tentacle Trap
Fandom lists one among the utilities of the starting area. Its tentacles grab the zombies in a doorway for 750 Essence, but according to Fandom a Tentacle Trap only works once the AMP Generator nearby has powered its area.
Rampage Inducer
The console that, once every player has agreed, speeds up the rounds and raises the difficulty. Record footage shows it started in the Guard Station on the first round.
GobbleGum Machine and Ammo Cache
Both outside, on the Security Overlook.
No perk, no Box
The Fandom list of the starting area names no perk machine, no Mystery Box, no Crafting Table and no Arsenal. The nearest perk, Quick Revive, is in the Interrogation Rooms, behind a door.
Enemies
Zombies at first; the official guide warns that round 5 is the first special round. Human Janus guards may also be met, shooting at the zombies before they turn on the players.
The Terminus leaderboard keeps five categories, each with boards for solo and for two, three and four players. Purist is the reference and the board shown first; the four others, No Support and With Support, each played with No GobbleGums or All GobbleGums, count in the player ratings with a lower difficulty. How a round of Black Ops 6 compares with a round of the older games is explained in Black Ops 6: Rounds. The rules:
Doors closed
Reach the highest round you can without opening doors, and play every round in full.
Purist
No Field Upgrade, no Crafting Table, no Arsenal, no GobbleGum, no Support, no perk and no Mystery Box. Each player keeps only the Self-Revive they start the game with.
The AMP Generator
On the No Support and With Support boards, the AMP Generator of the spawn may not be turned on.
No Support
No Support, nothing from the Support section of the Crafting Table and no armor bought at the workbench; armor plates may be picked up or bought on the wall. Avoid picking up a scorestreak. In solo, only the starting Self-Revive; in co-op, up to three Self-Revives per player, dropped by the zombies, not crafted.
GobbleGums
On the All GobbleGums boards every gum is allowed, but not a timed-out gum. On the No GobbleGums boards only Anywhere But Here is tolerated, to get unstuck, with a timestamp; keeping the three Whimsical gums is advised, since one taken by mistake does not void the run.
With Support
The support items and scorestreaks may all be used.
No glitch
Glitches and exploits are not allowed. Saving and quitting or crashing the game to void a down, a Dying Wish or a game over is not allowed either.
Patch
Every game is played on the most recent patch, and a patch that changes the balance of the game can lead to a board being reset.
Video
The whole game must be recorded, with every player’s point of view in co-op on every board but With Support, All GobbleGums. A Twitch video must be saved as a highlight, since past broadcasts are not accepted; a YouTube video must be public or unlisted.
