Black Ops 6 Zombies GobbleGums, explained – What is GobbleGum?

Whoever said gum was bad for your teeth clearly never used GobbleGum to fight against the decaying teeth of Call of Duty Zombies.

GobbleGum is back as a part of Black Ops 6 Zombies, which is a return to round-based gameplay that the CoD mode is famous for. No more open world, no more Warzone map. It’s all new maps built from the ground up, baby, and GobbleGums are a big part of the experience.

Here’s everything there is to know about GobbleGum in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

What is GobbleGum in Black Ops 6?

GobbleGums are consumable items in Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, and they offer a variety of different kinds of buffs and advantages in any given attempt in the round-based game. They are different from Perk-a-Colas, which are also consumable items in BO6 Zombies. GobbleGum originated in Black Ops 3.

In BO6, GobbleGums come in five kinds of rarities, according to Treyarch. In general, the higher the rarity, the stronger the GobbleGum, except for Whimsical, which “provide effects that aren’t focused on giving you an advantage, but instead grant a sometimes-hilarious, always entertaining effect.”

Here are the different rarities of GobbleGums:

• Rare GobbleGum
  • Examples: “Shields Up” (your armor is twice as a strong for three minutes) and “Kill Joy” (spawns an Insta-Kill Power-up).
• Epic GobbleGum
  • Examples: “Free Fire” (firing weapons consumes no ammo for the next 60 seconds) and “Soda Fountain” (the next Perk purchased gives an additional random Perk).
• Legendary GobbleGum
  • Examples: “Phoenix Up” (revive all teammates and they keep their perks) and “Wall-to-Wall Clearance” (Wall Buys cost 10 Essence).
• Ultra GobbleGums
  • Examples: “Perkaholic” (gives the player all Perk-a-Colas in the map) and “Wonderbar!” (the next gun from the Mystery Box will be a Wonder Weapon).
• Whimsical GobbleGum
  • Examples: “Newtonian Negation” (Zombies killed fall straight up for three minutes).

How to get GobbleGums in Black Ops 6

GobbleGums are found in-game at GobbleGum Machines from Mr. Peeks (the creepy stuffed bunny), and are also “earnable in game, simply for playing,” according to Treyarch, who says to “expect to earn one (or more!) random GobbleGums every few rounds.”

How to use GobbleGum in Black Ops 6

GobbleGums are used from GobbleGum Packs, which are “based on your stored reserves” of GobbleGums.

“Pick a single Pack to bring with you; with each Pack containing five different single-use GobbleGums that you’ve chosen to access during a match via a special confectionary machine that holds each GobbleGum in your pack and spits out one randomly once you interact with it,” Treyarch said.

Any GobbleGums you don’t use are kept between matches, so don’t worry about them going to waste.
