Key Locations

Avalon contains several locations that players return to repeatedly across runs. This page covers the most important landmarks, where to find them, and what they are used for.

Winery

The Winery is located within Zone III of Avalon. It is a recreation of the Hacienda multiplayer map from Black Ops 4, which also appeared in Black Ops 6.

The Winery has one fixed, time-locked event attached to it: the O.S.C.A.R. Guild Strike. Every match, at exactly the 45:15 timer mark, the Guild Strike activity activates at the Winery and O.S.C.A.R. spawns. This is predictable and can be prepared for in advance.

Completing the O.S.C.A.R. Guild Strike:

Reveals the location of a Glitch Fracture on the tac map
Causes a Nightmare Zone to form at the location
Spawns an Exotic Fabricator for participating players

For full boss details, see Guild Strikes.

Gideon Falkner’s island facility

Gideon Falkner occupies an island facility within Zone IV. This is the ultimate objective of any run. Defeating Falkner rewards players with a guaranteed Exotic-rarity weapon.

Key details:

Zone IV recommended Combat Rating is CR 45. Attempting this at lower CR is possible but significantly harder.
Falkner is a scripted encounter. Mozart’s “Symphony No. 40” plays over the island’s speaker system during the fight.
Falkner appears in the enemy list and is categorized alongside the major Guild Strike bosses as a priority target.

Command Centers

Command Centers are Guild-held structures found in higher zones. Clearing them is a primary activity type called Command Center. In Zone IV, Command Centers are guarded by Titan-class enemies, which are heavy infantry carrying the Death Machine. Titans in Zone IV have a chance to drop Exotic Caches.

Command Centers are found across Zones II through IV. The higher the zone, the more enemies and the better the rewards on completion.

Exfil points

Before the match timer runs out, players must reach a friendly VTOL exfil point and clear the landing area. Extracting successfully preserves your current loadout and Combat Rating for the next run.

Exfil mechanics:

Exfil points are marked on the tac map and C-Link display.
You must clear the area before the VTOL can land and extract.
When the match timer expires, any operators still in the AO begin losing health continuously. All extraction points are disabled at that point, though an in-progress exfil will complete.
The match ends when all operators have either extracted or been eliminated.

Excavation Site

The Excavation Site contains two map recreations: Dig from Black Ops II and a modified version of the Zombies map The Tomb spawn room from Black Ops 6. It is located in Zone II or III depending on the area of the site.

Colosseum

The Colosseum is a permanent landmark in central Avalon. Beneath it is a recreation of the Pack-a-Punch room from the Zombies map IX in Black Ops 4.

Colossus World Event

The Colossus is a separate, temporary World Event that activates in the Zone II area. It is distinct from the Colosseum landmark. The back entrance can be reached using the Grappling Hook or a Redeploy Drone. You can also enter through the foot portal by shooting the underside of its feet. See Map Traversal for movement tips.

Lowtown

Lowtown is a dense urban district and was a multiplayer map in Black Ops 6. It is a high-traffic area for activities and enemy encounters. Guild Checkpoints and Prime Target activities appear in this area.

Key activity locations

Some activities are tied to specific geographic features rather than rotating spawn points:

Activity	Location notes
Colossus of Avalon (World Event)	Colossus structure, central map
Toxic Tyrant (World Event)	Z-Rex roaming Zone III
Wraith Wing (World Event)	Advanced Guild VTOL, varies per match
O.S.C.A.R. Guild Strike	Winery, fixed at 45:15
Second Guild Strike	Fixed set of locations, also at 45:15
