If you’ve been wondering what to do with the mysterious "Stamps" in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Citadelle des Morts, you’re not alone. These peculiar items are essential for unlocking the game’s Sword Easter Egg and obtaining the powerful Elemental Swords. Here’s a complete guide to mastering the Stamp system and unleashing your inner knight!
What Are Stamps?
Stamps are collectible items tied to activating Knight Statues on the map. These statues, once activated, grant you access to the Bastard Sword, the starting version of the game’s powerful Wonder Weapon Swords.
Think of Stamps as your ticket to wielding some of the most badass weapons in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
How to Get Stamps
Step 1: Survive Until Round 10
Stamps are dropped by Knight Zombies, which only start appearing after Round 10.
Step 2: Find the Knight Zombie
- Look for zombies wearing shiny helmets—these are Knight Zombies.
- Knight Zombies are tougher than regular zombies, so be prepared!
Step 3: Target Their Bodies
- Forget headshots: Knight Zombies’ helmets are unbreakable.
- Aim for their bodies to bring them down.
Step 4: Collect the Stamp
Once you kill a Knight Zombie, it will drop a Stamp. Make sure to grab it before moving on.
How to Use Stamps
Step 1: Head to the Dining Hall
The Dining Hall is located in the northern part of the map and contains four Knight Statues—one in each corner.
Step 2: Activate a Knight Statue
- Approach a statue and interact with it to place your Stamp.
- Once activated, the statue will grant you the Bastard Sword, a basic melee Wonder Weapon.
Upgrading to Elemental Swords
The Bastard Sword is just the beginning. You can upgrade it to one of four Elemental Swords, each with unique abilities:
1. Caliburn (Fire Sword)
- Effect: Burns enemies to ash.
- Best For: Crowd control and aggressive playstyles.
2. Durendal (Ice Sword)
- Effect: Slows enemies and freezes them on critical hits.
- Best For: Defensive strategies.
3. Joyeuse (Lightning Sword)
- Effect: Electrocutes enemies and deals chain damage.
- Best For: Groups of enemies.
4. Excalibur (Light Sword)
- Effect: Deals massive damage to bosses.
- Best For: Boss fights and high-round gameplay.
Each sword has its own upgrade process, so plan ahead based on your preferred playstyle.
What About Extra Stamps?
Unfortunately, extra Stamps have no further use once all the Knight Statues are activated. While some players speculate they might be tied to a future Easter Egg, for now, they’re just leftovers.
Tips for the Sword Easter Egg
- Start with Caliburn: It’s the easiest sword to upgrade.
- Save Ammo for Knight Zombies: These enemies are tougher than regular zombies, so you’ll need plenty of firepower.
- Co-op Strategy: Have each player focus on a specific Knight Statue to speed up progress.
- Thorough Search: The Dining Hall is well-designed, but its symmetry can make it easy to miss a statue.
Conclusion
The Stamp system in Black Ops 6 Zombies is your gateway to some of the coolest weapons in the game. While it might seem confusing at first, understanding how it works makes unlocking the Elemental Swords a fun and rewarding experience.
For now, those extra Stamps may just be a mystery—but keep an eye out for future updates. Who knows? There might be more secrets hidden in Citadelle des Morts.
