Use the Jackal PDW SMG to rush exfil positions and build meter faster than any other loadout. Covers early mobility, positioning, and rotating between exfil zones.
Step 1 of 6
The Jackal PDW is a base SMG available to everyone. Full-auto fire at high fire rate means you can dump a 60-round drum into a zombie train and fill the exfil meter in seconds. Mobility is the key here — you get to exfil zones faster and rotate when things get overrun.
Step 2 of 6
Do not stop moving. In early rounds with the Jackal PDW, your job is to build points fast and get to exfil zones before the horde fills the map. Sprint between zombie spawn points, build a train, dump the mag, repeat. You should hit 3000+ points by round 4.
Step 3 of 6
Buy Speed Cola first — the Jackal burns through mags fast and reloading slowly during exfil is a death sentence. Stamin-Up second — you need to sprint to exfil zones faster than zombies path to you. These two perks alone make the Jackal PDW exfil strategy work.
Step 4 of 6
The Jackal PDW mobility build is all about getting to the exfil zone before anyone else. Scout the map on early rounds so you know where all exfil points are. When you see the exfil notification, sprint there immediately and set up before zombies flood the area.
Step 5 of 6
With a 60-round drum and full-auto fire, you can fill the meter in two mags if you are landing shots on a zombie train. Position at the exfil zone, pull a train of 10+ zombies through your line of fire, and dump both mags. Meter hits 75%+ in one clean train.
Step 6 of 6
If the exfil zone gets overrun, Stamin-Up lets you sprint to a secondary exfil point while your Aether Shroud recharges. Never dig in and die — rotate, regroup, and come back. The Jackal PDW build is about speed, not holding ground.
