TL;DR: How to Activate Projectors in Liberty Falls
To successfully complete the projectors side quest in Liberty Falls (Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies), you must locate three specific projector slides scattered around the map and insert them into the Aether Projector located in the Movie Theater. Once all slides are inserted, you will trigger a mini-game that rewards you with an Aether Tool or other high-tier loot. This process requires power to be turned on first, so focus on opening doors and restoring electricity before hunting for the items.
Prerequisites: Power and Preparation
Before you attempt to learn how to do the projectors in Liberty Falls, you must ensure the map’s power is fully restored. Without power, the Aether Projector will remain dormant, and the interaction prompts for the slides will not appear.
- Follow the main objective markers to reach the Church and activate the power switch.
- Clear a path to the Movie Theater area, as this is your primary hub for the quest.
- Ensure you have enough Essence to open necessary doors; this quest spans multiple sectors of the map.
Locating the Three Projector Slides
Finding the projector slides is the most time-consuming part of this quest. These items are small, glowing objects that blend into the environment, so keep your eyes peeled for a faint blue glimmer.
Slide 1: The Library/Office Area
The first slide is typically found near the Library. Check the desks and bookshelves carefully. I have personally found it most often sitting on a wooden desk near the entrance.
Slide 2: The Grooming Salon
The second slide is hidden within the Grooming Salon. Look for the vanity mirrors and nearby counters. It usually spawns on the floor near the chairs or on the main service counter.
Slide 3: The Movie Theater Lobby
The final slide is located right inside the Movie Theater lobby. Scan the ticket booth area or the concession stand. It is often tucked away behind the popcorn machine or near the entrance doors.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Projectors
Once you have gathered all three slides, return to the Movie Theater. You will see the Aether Projector waiting on its stand.
- Approach the Projector: Interact with the device to load the first slide.
- Wait for the Sequence: Watch the screen as the projection plays; you may need to fend off a small wave of zombies.
- Repeat: Load the second and third slides sequentially.
- Claim Reward: After the final slide plays, a visual cue will appear, and your reward will spawn directly in front of the screen.

Expert Tips for Success
In my experience running this map, the biggest mistake players make is trying to interact with the projectors while being swarmed. Always clear the immediate area of zombies before attempting to load a slide.
- Use Decoys: Throw a Decoy Grenade to draw zombies away from the theater while you interact with the projector.
- Co-op Strategy: Have one teammate watch the balcony while the other focuses on loading the slides.
- Check Lighting: The slides emit a distinct visual hum; turn down your music volume slightly if you are struggling to locate them in dark corners.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I do the projectors in Liberty Falls solo?
Yes, this quest is fully optimized for solo players. Just ensure you have enough firepower to manage the undead while you are stationary at the projector.
What happens if I die while holding a slide?
If you go down, the slide will typically despawn or return to its original spawn point. You will need to backtrack and pick it up again.
Is the projector quest required for the main Easter Egg?
While not strictly required for the main story ending, completing the projector steps often grants essential items like Aether Tools that make the final boss fight significantly easier.
Do the slides spawn in random locations?
The slides have fixed spawn points within specific rooms, but their exact position on a surface (desk vs. floor) can vary slightly between matches.
