Black Ops 6 Zombies will re-introduce many of previous fan-favorite features, including power-ups, perks, and also, renowned characters. Another addition is the Gobblegums, a feature first introduced back in Black Ops 3 Zombies.
Black Ops 6 Zombies aims to do GobbleGums right this time, by introducing them as a free-to-use feature, unlike in the initial phases of Black Ops 3 Zombies. However, recent updates also point towards new changes to the feature. The article below sheds light on everything to expect from this gameplay aspect.
What Are Gobblegums in Black Ops 6 Zombies?
Gobblegums grant players power-ups that can enhance their gameplay and make the fight against zombies easier to win. As broken as this system may look, the developers kept things interesting, where you can only equip one Gobblegum per round. Once equipped, the Gobblegum Machine will be closed. You cannot use extra money to reset the timer.
In Black Ops 3 Zombies, players could equip up to 5 Gobblegums during pre-match. This could then be activated by paying a visit to Mr. Peeks Gobblegum Machine. In Black Ops 6 Zombies, however, the feature can be considered broken, where although players could still equip 5 Gobblegums, they could also switch them with a different one mid-game!
All Confirmed Gobblegums in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Gobblegums come in 5 varying rarities:
- Whimsical
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
- Ultra
And while Treyarch will probably debut new Gobblegums in successive seasons, here are the ones we know for sure will make an entrance on the game’s launch day:
Gobblegum | Rarity | Function |
|---|---|---|
Newtonian Negation | Whimsical | Zombies killed fall straight up for three minutes |
Free Fire | Epic | Firing weapons consumes no ammo for the next 60 seconds |
Soda Fountain | Epic | The next Perk purchased gives an additional random Perk |
Shields Up | Rare | Your armor is twice as strong for three minutes |
KillJoy | Rare | Spawns an Insta-Kill Power-up |
Phoenix Up | Legendary | Revive all teammates and they keep their perks |
Wall-to-Wall Clearance | Legendary | Wall Buys cost 10 Essence |
Perkaholic | Ultra | Gives the player all Perk-a-Colas on the map |
Wonderbar! | Ultra | The next gun from the Mystery Box will be a Wonder Weapon |
Shields Up, Free Fire, and Wonderbar! are the newest editions to the Gobblegum line-up so far.
How to earn Gobblegums in Black Ops 6 Zombies?
There’s a simple answer to this: keep playing as much as you can.
Gobblegums are earned in-game, and after every few rounds, you’ll get a new Gobblegum. This may or may not be effective, as a Gobblegum’s potential can only be measured by its rarity.
You cannot share the Gobblegum Packs you earn. Every player has their own Gobblegum inventory. For more info about Black Ops 6 open beta, you can take a look at this article.
