Updated on July 16, 2025, by Nathan Round:Black Ops 6 Zombies is ever-evolving and with each update comes new ways to acquire some of the game’s powerful Wonder Weapons. New Easter Eggs are also constantly being discovered, providing additional rewards. This guide has been updated with additional methods to acquire the Ray Gun, some of which are specific to certain maps.
The Mystery Box
Like most other Wonder Weapons inBlack Ops 6, the first and most straightforward method of acquiring the Ray Gun isthrough the Mystery Box.The Mystery Box can be found on every map inBlack Ops 6 Zombies, but its location changes with every match. To track it, look out for the beam of light it emits, or track its location via the minimap.
The Mystery Box can beactivated with 950 Essence(10 Essence during a Fire Sale), and once opened, players willreceive a random weapon.As the weapon offered by the Mystery Box is completely random, there is only a small chance of acquiring the Ray Gun this way, meaning that players may have to spend thousands on Essence to obtain it.
However, players canincrease their odds through the use of the Wonderbar GobbleGum.The Wonderbar GobbleGum guarantees a Wonder Weapon to appear in the next spin of the box once consumed, and while this doesn’t necessarily guarantee a Ray Gun, it does boost the chance of getting it drastically on all maps.
Looting The Bank Vault/Armory (Terminus & Liberty Falls)
The next way to acquire the Ray Gun is throughlooting the Bank Vault on Terminus or the Armory on Liberty Falls.On both maps, elite enemies such asManglers have a chance of dropping Loot Keyson the ground. Once obtained, the next step is to find the Armory in Terminus or the Vault in Liberty Falls to open up the Safety Deposit Boxes that are located inside. While the Armory is open to all players,the Vault on Liberty Falls will require a passcode to open it.
Similar to the Mystery Box, the loot awarded by the deposit boxes israndom, but there isa chance the players can acquire a Ray Gunthis way on both maps, regardless of the Loot Keys rarity. Alongside the Ray Gun, there’s also a chance of finding other upgrades that will prove useful when attempting to make it to the higher rounds.
Completing Specific Easter Eggs
Another way players can get their hands on the Ray Gun is bycompleting specific Easter Eggsthat reward random loot upon completion. Some of the most notable Easter Eggs that have the potential to reward players with a Ray Gun include:
Completing SAM Trials
The final way players can bag themselves a Ray Gun is bycompleting SAM Trials.SAM Trials are challengesthat players canactivate at the SAM Trial Machine for 750 to 1000 Essence, which will teleport onto all maps at random locations and times. The location in which the SAM Trials spawn will be both marked onscreen when they appear and on the map. Its location can also be tracked by the purple beacon the machine gives off.
Once activated, players mustcomplete a random challengedisplayed on the screen. As players fulfill the requirements for the challenge, they will increase the rarity of the rewards they receive. Upon completion, a Supply Cache will spawn in place of the SAM Trial Machine, offering random rewards. It’s best tocomplete the challenge fully to earn the highest-tier rewards.While doing so offers a chance of acquiring a Ray Gun, the weapon itself is not guaranteed.
