The Ray Gun Mark 2 returns in Black Ops 6 Zombies, and players can craft it with just a few easy steps in the Shattered Veil map.

Players can turn the Ray Gun Mk2 into 3 separate upgrades that each have their own advantages, and each of these Ray Gun Mk2 upgrades for Black Ops 6 can be found below so that players can craft the ultimate weapon to beat the easter egg and conquer the map.

How to Get the Empty Canister for the Ray Gun Mark 2 Upgrade

The first thing that players will need to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark 2 is an Empty Canister, which is an item that can be acquired in 3 specific ways. Considering there are 3 different upgrades, it makes sense that players need 3 Empty Canisters. Listed below are all the ways in which players can obtain a canister so that they can advance to the upgrade quest of their choosing:

Empty Canister #1

An Empty Canister can be acquired by shooting blue crystals that can be found throughout the Shattered Veil map. To destroy these blue crystals, players will need a Ray Gun Mk2, and while there are several spawns for the blue crystals, players are only looking for the one that contains an Empty Canister. Either way, here are the blue crystal spawns so that players can grab the item they need:

• Inside the Conservatory before Quick Revive.
• On the ceiling from within the East Foyer, before Stamin-Up.
• Above the southwest balcony that leads from the Nursery.
• On the ceiling of the Service Tunnels, found by going through the Mainframe Chamber.

Empty Canister #2

Enter into the Mainframe Chamber and head through the Service Tunnel, where, to the left of the Doppelghast cell where players acquired the Severed Arm for the Ray Gun Mk2, there will be a burst valve just out of the map. This burst valve will lead to pipes with the letter ‘A’ and the letter ‘B’ next to it. Players need to head back to the Mainframe Chamber to find a glass chamber connected to a pipe corresponding with either ‘A’ or ‘B’, to which they will then have to throw a Combat Axe at the middle red valve to get it to burst, and then a second Combat Axe at either ‘A’ or ‘B’, depending on which number has the glass chamber. If players have done this, head back to the Mainframe Chamber and throw a Molotov at the glass chamber to free the Empty Canister.

Empty Canister #3

Players will need an LT53 Kazimir for this step, which can be acquired for 1,500 Salvage at a Crafting Table once players hit Level 48, or, as a random chance, from Special/Elite Zombies. With the LT53 Kazimir, head to the Rear Patio area behind the Double Tap Root Beer perk machine, where there is a hole in the wall where zombies can spawn. Players will need to throw the LT53 Kazimir tactical equipment near the hole in the wall, which will see the empty canister from within pulled into the map for players to pick up.

How to Get the Ray Gun Mark 2-W

• Pack-a-Punch Variant: Porter’s Mark 2-Wraith Fire

With an Empty Canister, head to Shem’s Henge, which is the area found to the right of the spawn area where Speed Cola can be found. Just opposite Speed Cola is a yellow machine where players can interact with it to place the Empty Canister, and upon doing so, an Abomination will spawn in the middle of Shem’s Henge. Players must not kill the Abomination, and instead, they need to bait its laser beam attack into three medium-sized rocks around the middle of Shem’s Henge. If done correctly, the rocks will glow blue, and now players must bait the Abomination into charging into the rock to make it float.

Once all 3 rocks begin to glow and float, players must now defend the middle of Shem’s Henge, which has a portal from within. Use fast-firing weapons to kill the vermin that spawn to stop them from entering the portal, and defend it until the lockdown completes. Upon doing so, players can return to the Empty Canister, where it will now be called the Explosive Canister.

Upon picking up the Explosive Canister, head to the Supply Depot past the Service Tunnel in the Mainframe Chamber to interact with a yellow crafting bench, which will exchange the normal Ray Gun Mk2 into the Ray Gun Mark 2-W. This variant is blue and fires fully automatic instead of three-round bursts.

How to Get the Ray Gun Mark 2-R

• Pack-a-Punch Variant: Porter’s Mark 2-Rot Blight

For the Ray Gun Mark 2-R, players will need to acquire 4 Plant Seeds. Plant Seeds are exclusively obtained from the Dark Aether plants that spawn in the outside areas of Shattered Veil, and players can guarantee to grab a Plant Seed if they explode the red plant with a Grenade or a Semtex. Players can then collect the Plant Seed, but since they need 4 of them, it’s time to run around the outside areas of the map and search for these plants and hope they drop a Plant Seed.

With the 4 Plant Seeds acquired, head into the Conservatory area where players can find a yellow machine that can be interacted with to place one of their Empty Canisters. After doing so, it’s time to place the Plant Seed in the incubator just opposite the yellow device. Players will need to then defend this Plant Seed from zombies while it grows. Once it’s fully grown, the zombies will ignore it, and players can head to the next incubator. There are 4 incubators around the Conservatory, but be sure to do them one at a time to avoid too many zombies attacking too many incubators at once.

Players will know that they have completed all 4 Plant Seeds as the meter for the Toxic Spores Harvested on the left of the screen will be full, and now they can go and grab the Ray Gun Mark 2-R by claiming the Toxic Canister from where the Empty Canister once was, and then head to the upgrade bench found at the Garden Pond (spawn area). The Ray Gun Mark 2-R is a sniper variant of the Ray Gun Mark 2 that fires toxic and long-range shots, but it’s quite slow compared to other variants.

How to Get the Ray Gun Mark 2-P

• Pack-a-Punch Variant: Porter’s Mark 2-Preservation

To get the Ray Gun Mark 2-P, players must first acquire 2 Reflectors:

1. The first Reflector can be found by interacting with the stone fountain outside the Conservatory.
2. The second Reflector can be found by interacting with a stone fountain outside the South West Balcony.

Now, it’s time to acquire an Essence Bomb. The Essence Bomb is acquired from the white wooden crates that can be found around the map, which can be destroyed by a gun or a melee attack. The Essence Bomb is completely random, so just shoot them around the map until it drops. With the Essence Bomb acquired, head to the Service Tunnels, where, by the Armor wall-buy, there will be a bunch of rubble that can be interacted with to expose a secret room.

From within the secret room, players can place the Empty Canister in another yellow crate, which will then have a blue beam emit from a crystal. Players will need to place the Reflector at the surface where the blue beam is firing, and now they need to follow that blue beam to place the second Reflector. With the Reflectors in place, melee the blue crystal to spawn a Doppelghast and kill it. This will need to be done a total of 3 times, but players must move the Reflectors to follow the blue beam, and this is done by simply using a melee attack on the Reflector. If a blue beam is not shooting at a Reflector, simply pick up the Reflector and head to where it needs to be placed.

With all 3 Doppelghasts dead, pick up the Light Canister from the machine, and head into the Director’s Quarters to craft the Ray Gun Mark 2-P at the workbench. This purple variant is more like a shotgun, which is great for close-range engagements.
