Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is home to a variety of perks and powerups in the Zombies game mode. Things like Double Points grant more essence to buy more weapons or perks, while something like Insta-kill allows zombies to be killed in one hit. However, one of the biggest helpers in Zombies comes aschewing gum called Gobblegum.
They hold a variety of powers, like spawning the aforementioned powerups, altering zombies, and influencing Mystery Box behavior. These pieces of gum were originally introduced in Black Ops 3 Zombies and have made their debut in Black Ops 6. Now that we’ve covered the basics let’s look at some of the best Gobblegum options available.
Charge the player’s Field Upgrade faster
Lasts for
60 seconds
Arsenal Accelerator allows you torecharge your Field Upgradeat record speeds. This is an incredibly useful buff to have since Field Upgrades are lifesavers. Field Upgrades can restore your health instantly with Healing Aura, while something like the Aether Shroud can make you invisible and give you the ability to move through hordes with ease.
Needless to say, it’s easy to see how they come in clutch on high rounds, and having the ability to charge it quicker is a must-have for anyone looking to get high rounds.
Rare
Effect
Instantly teleport to a random location. A concussive blast knocks away nearby zombies.

This is a great Gobblegum that often saves the day when you accidentally back yourself into a corner or make a wrong turn and run into someone else’s train of zombies. By consuming the gum, you’re instantly teleported to a random location on the map while emitting a concussive blast that knocks away nearby enemies.
While situational, it’s good to have on hand for anyone looking to save themselves from being mauled. The concussion emitted is also effective in giving you time to run and get some distance between you and those walking corpses.
Double Points as a powerup is a great addition to zombies since you’ll be spending a lot of points on upgrading weapons, opening doors, and buying perks. Who’s Keeping Score spawns in Double Points instantly when picked up, allowing you to rack up points with ease. It’s especially useful early on since that’s when you spend the most money on upgrades and doors.
It can be extremely helpful in giving you an edge in the fight so you’re properly set up for the high rounds. It pairs extremely well when used with Kill Joy, a Gobblegum that spawns an Insta-kill powerup, or Temporal Gift, the gum that extends time-based powerups.
Epic
Instantly teleport to a random downed player. Instant revive nearby players.
If your teammate goes down across the map, you’ll likely wish for the Nowhere But There Gobblegum. This gum teleports you to a random teammate who is downed and instantly revives them. While the effect is only useful for downed players, it’s also useful for getting yourself out of a potentially game-ending situation while being the last man standing.
With this gum, many games would’ve been lost to the undead menace. The only downside to this Gobblegum is that the person you get teleported to is random. If two people are on the verge of bleeding out completely, you’ll just have to try your luck and hope you teleport to the one who’s closer to death.
Activated by
Activates on Wall Buy Purchase
If you haven’t got the necessary points to get a weapon Pack-a-Punched, Wall Power makes things simple for you. By eating this gum, the next weapon purchased from a wall comes out Pack-a-Punched. This can be huge if you die on a higher round but don’t have enough points to both buy Perks and use Pack-a-Punch.
It can also allow you to breeze through the lower rounds to get to the fun parts more easily. If used with the Wall To Wall Clearance Gobblegum, you’d get a weapon with a Pack-a-Punch upgrade for only ten points, which is super useful.
All zombies ignore players and stand idle.
30 Seconds
If you need a moment to regroup and quickly strategize, Idle Eyes can buy you the time you need. Idle Eyes causes all zombies on the map to ignore players and idly stand around for 30 seconds. It sounds like no time at all, but there’s plenty of time to quickly craft at a workbench, buy perks, Pack-a-Punch, or reposition.
It can be especially useful during waves that spawn Amalgam, Mangler, and Abomination bosses since you’ll have 30 seconds of uninterrupted damage against those hulking damage sponges. It’s a must-have Gobblegum to bring with you in any Zombies match.
Firing weapons consumes no ammo. It does not work with Wonder Weapons.
60 Seconds
If you’ve ever wished for infinite ammo with your favorite weapon, Free Fire is one Gobblegum you don’t want to forget to bring. Unlike Stock Option, which allows you to use ammo from your reserves rather than the magazine, Free Fire gives you a limitless supply of ammo to shoot for an entire minute.
It’s best to use it against bosses so you’re able to constantly deal damage instead of pausing to reload occasionally. It beats Stock Option simply because it doesn’t need to use ammo reserves, which can easily run out with a fast-firing weapon. It also makes it easier togrind for Zombie camos.
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, each weapon has a rarity that determines how many attachments it gets and the damage output. Legendary is the highest and best rarity, so having Gobblegum that instantly upgrades your weapon to that rarity is extremely helpful.
Just hold the weapon you want upgraded and activate the Gum, and you’ll have a Legendary weapon. One issue is the gun’s attachments don’t change with the upgrade. On the plus side, you won’t spend 7,500 salvage on upgrading manually, which saves you a lot of time.
Ultra
The next weapon from the Mystery Box will be a Wonder Weapon.
Using Mystery Box
If you don’t know how to obtain each map’s Wonder Weapon or just want to get it easily, you’ll want to have Wonderbar on hand. Wonderbar is an Ultra rarity Gobblegum that guarantees you a Wonder Weapon the next time you visit the Mystery Box.
While it takes away the fun of having to do work for the Wonder Weapon, it’s incredibly good for playing just to get to a high round. Wonderbar pretty much guarantees an easy first 15 rounds, after which you’ll want to Pack-a-Punch the weapon to avoid the damage falloff like with most weapons.
Tired of running back and forth to every perk machine just to get perks? Use Perkaholic and get every perk in the game, all for the price of eating one Gobblegum. This being available from round one makes it by far the best Gobblegum in the game. This means Deadshot Diaquiri, Speedcola, Jugger-Nog, Elemental Pop, and more are all available to you at zero cost and at any time.
If you want to make effective use of it, save it for a high round when you’re more likely to go down. As many know, you lose perks when you go down, but that’s easily countered by simply eating Perkaholic when you’re back on your feet.
