I didn't load into Ashes of the Damned to play a 50-round waiting game, and you probably didn't either. If you're hunting that Irradiated Deathclaw Calling Card, the Bobblehead Quest is the fast lane—and it actually feels like a proper map challenge, not a time sink. If you're also juggling unlocks across modes, I've seen folks pair runs like this with CoD BO7 Boosting so the grind stays manageable while you chase the fun stuff.



Start Fast and Stay Moving
Get into the habit of checking the obvious spots first, because the quest rewards momentum. 1) The first bobblehead is right at spawn by the vending machine—grab it before you even think about routing. 2) Drop underground to the Bard Area; it's gloomy, so swing your view into the corners and you'll spot the next one perched on a chair. 3) Head to the Vandorn House dining room, then slow down for a second: it's tucked under the table, and you'll need to crouch or go prone to actually see it. That one's the classic "walk past it three times" trap.



Ashwood Jumps and Risky Spots
Once you've got those, keep the pace up into Ashwood. 4) There's a bobblehead inside the Klaus Cage—hard to miss if you're already checking interactable-looking props. 5) The next one's where people start getting irritated: near the zipline, up on a ledge. You've gotta hit a wall jump clean to stick it. Don't overthink it. Line up, commit, and if you whiff it, reset and try again before the round pressure makes it messy. You'll land it sooner than you think.



Exit 115 to Blackwater Lake Cleanup
Now you're basically on a sweep route. 6) At Exit 115 Gas Station, snag the bobblehead by the Armor Wall Buy—convenient, since you should be buying protection anyway. 7) Sprint to the Exfil area and grab the one near the LMG buy; that zone gets crowded fast, so earlier is easier. 8) Look for the big rocket and check the raised industrial platform underneath it for the next statue. 9) Over at Blackwater Lake, one sits outside the kitchen. 10) The last is on the fishing dock. When you pick it up, watch the pyramid—Vault Boy goes huge and bright, and that's your "boss is live" moment.



Beating the Deathclaw Without the Drama
Don't play hero on foot. The Irradiated Deathclaw closes distance like it's cheating, and one bad corner means you're toast. As soon as that hologram pops, go for the Old Tessie upgrade—the armored truck you can access after opening Pack-a-Punch—and use it like you mean it. The laser does work, and the vehicle itself is basically a battering ram; keep your angles clean and keep moving. If you really want to keep your runs short and consistent, it's the same mindset you'd use when you look at CoD BO7 Boosting for sale and decide you'd rather spend time on the fun parts than the slow parts.Welcome to U4GM, where Zombies runs feel less like a grind and more like a win. On Ashes of the Damned, don't sit through 50 rounds—bang out the 10-bobblehead scavenger chain, trigger the Vault Boy hologram at Blackwater Lake, and force-spawn the Irradiated Deathclaw for that Calling Card.
