Back 4 Blood is a game that heavily boasts itself on its replayability aspect. However, with a game that’s replayable, there has to be some secret collectibles or Easter eggs along the way. If you’re a person who aims for gamer score or trophies, this is the guide for you. Here, we’ll go over all the Golden Skull locations in the game.
All the Golden Skull Locations in Back 4 Blood
This guide will show you roughly where each Golden Skull is. However, if you are confused by the wording, the game classifies them as Secrets. There are ten different Skulls/Secrets in the game.
