In Black Ops 6 Zombies, players find themselves immersed in a range of diverse maps, each offering unique challenges as they face relentless hordes of the undead. As they navigate through these environments, players are encouraged to embark on the main quests associated with each map, which are essential for advancing the overarching narrative. The thrill of survival is heightened as players strategize to overcome the increasing difficulty of the waves of zombies that come their way.
In the expansive universe of Call of Duty, only a handful of Wonder Weapons have truly proven their longevity. One standout is the Ray Gun, a fan-favorite that has made its mark in nearly every Zombies mode since it first appeared in Call of Duty: World at War. With the introduction of new maps like Terminus and Liberty Falls, players are presented with fresh landscapes to battle against relentless hordes of the undead, making the quest for this iconic weapon even more exciting.
As of January 20, 2025, Nathan Round has provided an update on the dynamic world of Black Ops 6 Zombies. The game continues to evolve, introducing fresh opportunities for players to obtain some of the most formidable Wonder Weapons available. With each new update, players can look forward to discovering new Easter Eggs, which not only enhance the gameplay experience but also offer exciting rewards that keep the community engaged and eager for more.
The Mystery Box
In Black Ops 6, obtaining the Ray Gun, much like other Wonder Weapons, is primarily achieved by using the Mystery Box. This special box is a staple feature across all maps in the Zombies mode of the game, but its position is not fixed and varies with each playthrough. Players can easily locate the Mystery Box by observing the distinctive beam of light it projects into the sky, or by checking the minimap for its current whereabouts.
The Mystery Box becomes available for activation with a cost of 950 Essence, or just 10 Essence during a special Fire Sale event. When players take the plunge and open the box, they are rewarded with a weapon chosen at random. This element of surprise adds an exciting twist to the game, but it also means that players face a daunting challenge if they are specifically seeking the coveted Ray Gun.
Players have the opportunity to enhance their chances of obtaining powerful weapons by utilizing the Wonderbar GobbleGum. When consumed, this special item ensures that a Wonder Weapon will show up in the next box spin. While it doesn’t specifically promise a Ray Gun, it significantly improves the likelihood of acquiring one across all game maps.
Looting The Bank Vault/Armory (Terminus & Liberty Falls)
One of the methods to obtain the Ray Gun involves raiding the Bank Vault located on Terminus or the Armory found on Liberty Falls. In both of these locations, you can encounter formidable foes like Manglers, who may drop Loot Keys when defeated. Collecting these keys is essential, as they will allow you to access the valuable items hidden within the Safety Deposit Boxes.
Much like the Mystery Box, the rewards players receive from deposit boxes are unpredictable, adding an element of surprise to the game. Players have the opportunity to obtain a Ray Gun from these boxes on both maps, and this can happen irrespective of the rarity of the Loot Keys they possess. This randomness keeps the gameplay exciting, as players never know what they might find.
Completing Specific Easter Eggs
One alternative method for players to acquire the Ray Gun is by successfully completing certain Easter Eggs, which offer random loot as a reward. Engaging in these unique challenges not only adds an exciting layer to the gameplay but also enhances the overall experience by encouraging exploration and teamwork. Among the various Easter Eggs available, several stand out for their potential to grant players the coveted Ray Gun, making them particularly sought after by those looking to bolster their arsenal.
- The Vending Machine (Liberty Falls): Melee the Vending Machine with Melee Macchiato at the Motor Lodge Motel.
- Liberty Lanes Bowling Alley (Liberty Falls): Locate 5 Bowling Shoes and complete the bowling mini-game.
- Mr. Peeks Mystery Box (Liberty Falls): Look for the car with Mr. Peeks in the back seat. Shooting this car with a Mangler Cannon will drop a random weapon.
- Void Cannon Easter Egg (Terminus): Power the Void Cannon by shooting radio towers with a Deadwire Pack-a-Punched weapon, and then activate the Void Cannon to destroy a meteor.
- Fish Spots (Terminus): Using explosives on fish spots will drop random loot while also yielding free Perks and the ability to get a Perkaholic.
- Rat King Easter Egg (Citadelle Des Morts): Grab the cheese in Town Square and locate 10 different rats around the map. These rats will surround a plate in the Oubliette Room. Placing the cheese on the plate yields rewards.
Completing SAM Trials
One of the ultimate methods for players to secure a Ray Gun is by successfully completing SAM Trials. These trials are special challenges that can be initiated at the SAM Trial Machine, requiring an investment of 750 to 1000 Essence. The exciting part is that these trials can appear at various random locations and times across all maps, adding an element of surprise to the gameplay.
When players activate the challenge, they will be presented with a random task that appears on their screen. Successfully meeting the challenge’s criteria will enhance the rarity of the rewards they can earn. Once the challenge is completed, a Supply Cache will materialize where the SAM Trial Machine was located, providing players with a variety of random rewards. To maximize the potential rewards, it is advisable to fully complete the challenge.
