The Dragon Bastard Sword is a Melee Weapon that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies in the map Citadelle des Morts. It is the weapon used by the bastard son and enforcer of Guy de Saint-Michel, known as The Dragon.
Much like the other Bastard Swords, the Dragon Bastard Sword is obtained at Common rarity and lacks the ability to be upgraded at the Armory nor can be given Ammo Mods. This is countered in that the Bastard Swords have much higher base damage, starting at 1,500 damage without the aid of Melee Macchiato. In addition, all Bastard Swords are able to be automatically swung as long as the fire button is held.
They have access to a parry, which affects a near 180° cone in front of the player. During this, strikes done by zombies will have their damage negated and the zombie will recoil away and be temporarily stunned. Higher tiered zombies such as the Doppelghast and Amalgam, however do not get stunned by the parry but still have their attacks negated, including that of the Amalgam's grab attack. Projectile attacks done by Parasites and Vermin are also parryable and will reflect the to the attacker and damages them instead if it hits. Much like the primary melee attack, the parry function also can be automatically triggered as long as the relevant button is held.

- — In-game description
The Dragon Bastard Sword can be upgraded into Caliburn, gaining fire elemental damage and increased melee damage. It also is raised to Wonder Weapon tier of rarity. The Caliburn was left for The Dragon by Guy de Saint-Michel with a trial left for The Dragon to undertake. Krafft speculates that this is the closest that Guy ever came to showing any of his sons warmth.
After being upgraded, it gains an increased damage and an innate fire damage with Napalm Burst affects as long as it is charged. It also retains the ability to parry, however it also gains a charged attack. This charged attack fires a trio of fireballs. After these have been thrown, the Caliburn temporarily loses the innate fire damage and Napalm Burst affects until it becomes recharged again, which it gains from killing zombies.
It can be returned to its respective statue if not needed or if it is left on the ground for too long, it will return there automatically.
Obtaining[]
The Dragon Bastard Sword can be upgraded into Caliburn by interacting with the Dragon head statue in the Entrance Hall, at the top of the staircase. Which will insert the sword into a slot in the front of it. Doing so will light three dragon themed braziers around the map.
- On the Village Ramparts.
- In the Nature Path, next to the portcullis to the Town Square.
- In the Town Square, near to the Rampage Inducer.
Interacting with these will engulf the player with dragon fire, dealing 15 damage upon every damage tick. During this section, purple-eye zombies will spawn and the player will be locked to fists only. However, fists will do Insta-Kill damage on standard zombies alone and upon killing an enemy, will regenerate their full health, regardless of the type of zombie killed. Infinite Tactical Sprint is also enabled while engulfed. The dragon fire can be dispersed by changing weapons to remove the effects but will cancel out that section of the trial. Taking this fire back to the dragon statue with Caliburn and interacting with it will cause the statue to breathe fire on Caliburn alongside restoring the health of the player. This needs to be repeated with all three braziers.
When all three of the braziers are completed, the statue will start to breath more fire than usual and Caliburn will be created and be obtainable.
