Wonder Weapons are an essential part of theCall of Duty Zombiesformula, and those who are brave enough to embark on the dangerous maps available will always find a Wonder Weapon waiting for them in a quest or through a random spin of the Mystery Box. Yet, with so many weapons available, and just a few Wonder Weapons on launch, which is the best inBlack Ops 6?
Black Ops 6has 3 Wonder Weapons on launch, and with the arrival of Citadelle des Morts on December 5, a new Wonder Weapon is set to grace the hands of playersfor high rounds. As it stands, it’s a good time to rank the best Wonder Weapons inBlack Ops 6so players know what’s worth picking up and leaving behind for the perfect zombie-hunting loadout.
3Ray Gun
The Original Wonder Weapon Packs a Punch But Lacks Speed
It truly wouldn’t be a Call of Duty Zombies experience without the opportunity to get the Ray Gun from the Mystery Box. This iconic Wonder Weapon has been there since the beginning, featuring all the way back inWorld at War’s Nacht der Untoten. It’s a perfect visual weapon that’s needed no changes throughout the years, and inBlack Ops 6, it seems as if its damage potential is better than ever – especially with the ability to Pack-a-Punch it three times.
Many things work in the Ray Gun’s favor inBlack Ops 6and combined with PhD Flopper to become immune to self-explosives, and a Tier 3 Pack-a-Punch Ray Gun, players have a true weapon of mass destruction on their hands. Unfortunately, the Ray Gun may provide plenty of power, but suffers from a slow rate of fire without Double Tap Root Beer, so the weapon is a tad slow at taking out beefier targets likeManglers, Amalgams, and Abominations. It’s still fun, but it can easily be out-DPS’d by other weapons.
2DRI-11 Beamsmasher
Weaken and Stun Zombies and Unleash a Devastatingly Deadly Beam
The DRI-11 Beamsmasher is the exclusive Wonder Weapon of Terminus, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. While the free quest for itmay involve some math, it’s not a difficult weapon to obtain, and it’s its own reward to have it. The Beamsmasher is certainly an interesting Wonder Weapon, as it acts more of a support weapon than it does as a main source of damage, and that’s all thanks to its Sonic Pulse ability that comes from an alternate fire mode.
The Sonic Pulse ability will stun zombies, placing them in a temporary trance. Those affected by it, Manglers and Amalgams included, will be extra vulnerable to damage. This ability makes high rounds even easier, as players can stun the hordes and wipe them out with a fast-firing weapon. The Directed Energy beam is the main firing mode, and while it can be fun to crackle and cook zombies, it’s not the strongest concentrated damage beam, when the magazine reaches 0, the gun emits a defending burst of damage to knock down enemies. It’s a fun and situational Wonder Weapon.
1Thrustodyne M23
Suck Up Zombies and Power-Ups in the Powerful Jet Gun
A returning Wonder WeaponfromBlack Ops 2’s TranZit, the Jet Gun gets a noticeable upgrade in how it will actually effectively suck up zombies and not explode when it’s run out of ammo. The Jet Gun works on a power basis, and its charge of 100% will regenerate over time. Expending all 100% of the charge, or using the alternate fire mode (L2/LT/Right-Click) will create an explosive effect to protect the player, but at the cost of a longer recharge time. Like other Wonder Weapons, the Thrustodyne M23 is pretty situational, but definitely more fun thanks to how it regenerates its own ammo.
The standard fire of the Jet Gun will have zombies scatter and fall to the floor as they are sucked up and churned into bloody butter by the literal jet engine in the player’s hands. Since the Jet Gun kills zombies the moment they touch the gun itself, players can stand in a corner and just let hordes of zombies and vermin eviscerate. However, this isn’t the case with Manglers and Abominations, and it will only stun them, so players might want to have a weapon better suited for Special and Elite Zombies that can’t be turned into a bloody mess.
