All Wonder Weapons in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Treyarch’s Zombies mode has long been a fan favorite in the Call of Duty series, and Black Ops 6 continues that tradition, offering an elaborate narrative as well as gameplay filled with diverse features—most notably, the iconic Wonder Weapons.

This powerful form of weaponry has been a key element since the mode’s introduction back in Call of Duty: World at War, and the latest title features the return of some classic options. These are the current Wonder Weapons available in Black Ops 6.

Updated on November 14, 2024, by Max Candelarezi: Black Ops 6 offers players three different Wonder Weapons to unlock by completing specific in-game steps. These powerful weapons function similarly to previous Call of Duty titles, playing crucial roles in both survival and completing Easter Eggs on the game’s two available maps, Terminus and Liberty Falls. This guide has been updated to detail how to obtain each Wonder Weapon on both maps, in addition to explaining how they work, while also removing the Wunderwaffe D2, which, despite its appearance in the Zombies’ story cinematics, is not available as an in-game weapon.

How to Get Wonder Weapons in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Black Ops 6 features three Wonder Weapons that players can get in Zombies through different methods, including the Ray Gun, DRI-11 Beamsmasher, and Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (Jet Gun). While some are unique to a specific map, they will all be excellent tools for surviving, allowing you to eliminate the constant hordes of zombies easily.

How to Get the Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To get the Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies, players can either use the Mystery Box or Loot Keys. The Mystery Box option requires spending 950 Essence, but getting the Ray Gun depends on luck, as the box randomly provides a weapon from its selection. Alternatively, players can defeat Elite enemies to collect Loot Keys, which can be used at the Armory (Terminus) or the Vault (Liberty Falls) to open Safety Deposit Boxes. Since the loot is also randomized, this method is similarly based on chance.
