The X52 Resonator Special Weapon arrives in Black Ops 6 and Warzone as a limited-time reward during the Echoes of the Dead event. Instead of conventional ammunition, this mystical armament fires crystalline shards, offering a distinct combat experience. To claim it at no cost, participants must finish one objective across three available modes.
Let’s break down the requirements for unlocking this unique firearm:
Obtaining the X52 Resonator: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Warzone: Secure 25 eliminations in Zombie Royale matches
- Zombies: Defeat 500 adversaries in Haunted Havoc mode
- Multiplayer: Achieve 150 total eliminations

Multiplayer enthusiasts might find the Stakeout map particularly efficient for rapid progress. After completing your chosen task, locate the weapon under Special Arms within your loadout’s secondary slot.
This experimental armament features three distinct firing modes through customizable shards. The Orbed Eruption allows multi-directional attacks, while Spiked Barrage delivers concentrated bursts. Stone Escalation transforms it into a high-risk, high-reward charged weapon. Though not optimal for ranked matches, these mechanics encourage creative playstyles during the event period.
Mark your calendars – this exclusive opportunity expires on October 23, 2025. Post-event, the Resonator will become accessible through standard Armory progression systems at a later date.
