Black Ops 6 Zombies: All You Need to Know About Gobblegums

The Gobblegum system has been a beloved feature in the Call of Duty Zombies mode, first introduced in Black Ops 3. With the release of Black Ops 6, fans are eager to understand how this system has evolved. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about Gobblegums, from their functions to the full list of confirmed Gobblegums in Black Ops 6.

What Are Gobblegums?

Gobblegums are unique consumable items that grant players specific effects, abilities, and bonuses during gameplay. Unlike traditional perks, which can be purchased from machines on the map, Gobblegums are unlockable and can only be used a limited number of times. This adds a strategic layer to gameplay, as players must choose their Gobblegums wisely.

Types of Gobblegums

In Black Ops 3, Gobblegums were divided into two categories: Classic and Mega. Classic Gobblegums could be used indefinitely and were earned through game progression. Mega Gobblegums offered powerful bonuses but were consumable and required a currency called Liquid Divinium to obtain.

In contrast, Black Ops 6 has streamlined this system:

- All Gobblegums are now classified as Mega, meaning they are consumable and will not be available for infinite use.   
- The previous currency system has been removed; players will earn new Gobblegums simply by playing through rounds.

Key Changes in Black Ops 6

1. No More Currency System: Players no longer need to gamble for Gobblegums at Dr. Monty's Factory.   
2. Earn Gobblegums Through Gameplay: Players can expect to receive random Gobblegums every few rounds.   
3. Gobblegum Packs: Players who purchase the Vault edition will receive a special pack containing 12 high-rarity Gobblegums upon launch.   
4. Cooldown Mechanic: After using a Gobblegum machine, players will experience a cooldown period before they can use it again for free.   
5. Multiple Slots: Players can now store up to three unique Gobblegums at once, allowing for strategic combinations during gameplay.
