How to Get All Wonder Weapons in Black Ops 6
Wonder Weapons are some of the most powerful tools for taking down zombie hordes.

These weapons are highly sought-after in Black Ops 6 Zombies, but obtaining them can be tricky since they are only available as rare drops from the Mystery Box.
However, there are several tactics to increase your chances of obtaining it. The Mystery Box is a random weapons dispenser available across various locations that requires 950 essences per spin.
These weapons' high rarity means they won’t be found in every spin. As rounds progress, the Mystery Box is more likely to give out higher-rarity weapons to help players deal with stronger Zombies.
That said, waiting until later rounds to use the Mystery Box can increase your chances of getting Wonder Weapons, especially since you'll have more essence available by then.
Gobblegums can also tilt the odds in your favor. Respin Cycle allows you to spin the Mystery Box again without deducting essence, which helps if you miss out on a Wonder Weapon during your first spin.
Wonderbar also guarantees a Wonder Weapon on your next spin, although it won't specify which one you'll get. Immolation Liquidation, on the other hand, triggers a fire sale.
This reduces each Mystery Box spin to 10 essences, giving you multiple affordable attempts. Another option is to take down elite enemies like Manglers or Amalgams, which drop keys that unlock lockers or vaults that could house a Wonder Weapon if you're lucky.
You'll probably get a Wonder Weapon using higher-tier (blue, purple, or orange) keys. As you progress through rounds, elite zombies become more common.
After collecting a key, head to the Armory (on Terminus) or the bank vault (on Liberty Falls) and use it to open lockers or deposit boxes.
There are more frequent drops of higher-rarity keys in later rounds, so waiting and targeting elite enemies as they spawn is your best bet.
Here’s a list of all the wonder weapons you can expect:
- Ray Gun - The Ray Gun is one of the most iconic weapons in Call of Duty Zombies. It is known for its plasma-based energy projectiles that can decimate zombies in one or two shots, even in higher rounds. The weapon's projectiles also have a splash damage effect, meaning that zombies close to the impact point also take damage. However, this splash damage can injure the player if they are too close to the impact zone. This trade-off requires some careful positioning, especially in tight spaces.
- Beamsmasher - This weapon’s main attack is a powerful Aetheric beam that disintegrates zombies on contact. This beam’s power causes zombies to break down at the molecular level, turning them into dust in seconds. The Aetheric energy is strong but drains ammo quickly, so players must manage usage strategically. It also features a secondary fire mode that sends out soundwaves to stun and weaken multiple enemies, making them easier to defeat.
- Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (aka “Jet Gun”) - Returning from Black Ops 2, the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (or Jet Gun) appears on the Liberty Falls map. The Jet Gun's strength comes from its rotor-based mechanics. This weapon features a high-powered suction that draws in zombies and tears them apart with its rotors. When the weapon overheats, it automatically releases a powerful shockwave. This is especially effective for giving players a moment to reload, reposition, or strategize, as it buys time by incapacitating the zombies temporarily.
- Wunderwaffe DG2 - The Wunderwaffe DG2 is built to eliminate multiple zombies simultaneously, using high-voltage electrical currents that bounce from one target to another. When fired, the DG2 releases a concentrated bolt of lightning that instantly kills its primary target. The lightning then jumps to nearby zombies, creating a chain of lethal electricity. There’s no question that many regard this as one of the most powerful Wonder Weapons, capable of eliminating up to 10 zombies in one shot. Its chaining effect is highly efficient, as it doesn’t lose potency as it jumps from zombie to zombie.
Wonder Weapons in Black Ops 6 aren’t required, but they can give you a valuable edge in gameplay.
