How to unlock the Socket-to-me achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Definitive Guide

In order to upgrade skills (or anything in your load out, for that matter) you need “raw Aetherium crystals”. In order to get these, you need to reach round milestones (survive to 10/15/etc...). I’m sure there’s other ways, like the trial rewards and such, but this is the most consistent way to get them. You get one for each milestone per game.

The first upgrade is 1 Crystal, with the second being 2 and the 3rd being 3, respectively. Achievement should pop after upgrading a skill (in my case I upgraded my Juggernog perk) to level 3.

If you downvote, please let me know what I can do to fix the guide! Happy hunting!

Hi
To get the raw Aetherium crystals do you have to exit with the helicopter or can you just die after round 11 , cause I don’t get anything , i also don’t see the skill option i only see ( create a class and gesture) . Anyone know something about this ?

@robscout, you can just die and you should get them. You should get one for reaching round 10, so I’m not sure why you didn’t. The skill option is your equivalent of the field upgrade (LB+RB). It’s called the “W.A.N.D.” when you’re looking at your gun on the rack. It’s inside your load out so you have to open the create a class screen.

Okay thank, but nothing works in zombie mode i got the pack and punch machine didn’t get achievement, the 16 round in the yard didn’t get it
. It doesn’t record anything in the challenge option, so i think something wrong with it. The arcade zombie mode i unlock the achievements , maybe i have to wait for an update or delete my game file and the whole game and start from fresh

I’m doing this during the zombies free access week and nothing is unlocking. Upgraded the Juggernog to Tier III and all. Definitely connected online and linked up to my Activision account. Guess you have to own the full game.

@robscout, are you playing locally or online? You have to be connected to the servers to unlock the achievements. It’s weird that DOA achievements are working for you but the other ones aren’t.

heya guys

i made a video on how to get socket to me & six pack at the same time :)

to start with you must get to level 51 so just play some zombies or multiplayer and come back to this achievement when your level 51

now what you need to do is grind for crystals
the crystals are the purple crystals awarded at the end of a game
to get the crystals i used 3 methods

method 1

get to round 11 , call an extraction then just fail the extraction ... this usually gives you just the 1 crystal but sometimes thats all you need

method 2

get to round 11, call the extraction and make sure you complete the extraction (completing the extraction gives you more crystals but you do need to turn the power on first)

method 3

same as method 2 but get to round 16 instead


you can extract every 5 rounds but obviously it takes longer and just gets harder

the weapons i use are the knife and the shotgun that is near the downed plane


once you have enough crystals you can upgrade your perk skills in the loadout section under the skills menu (each perk has 3 upgrades)

If you play cross-platform like me (pc) and you have already upgraded everything, all you have to do is view the skills and this achievement will pop up along with six pack achievement

Skills are unlocked using the Aetherium Crystals currency, which can be unlocked in any mission. Finishing round 10 will earn you one crystal, regardless of whether you complete the main objective of the mission. Completing the main objective also has a chance of dropping a crystal, and one is guaranteed for finishing each 5th level past 10.

One crystal is enough to unlock your first skill, and this trophy.

You need to upgrade any pere for this trophy to the first level for 1 ether shard. You don't need to fully pump it. The perk is improved in the class setup. Ether shards are given for passing 10 waves in zombies, then every 5 waves and can randomly drop for passing trials.
