Changes to Black Ops 6 Zombies’ GobbleGum system announced

Treyarch responded to community feedback and eliminated the pay-to-win requirement for GobbleGum purchases in Black Ops 6.

CoD Zombies initially introduced GobbleGums in Black Ops 3. These one-time use items grant unique abilities and are permanently removed from your inventory upon activation.

GobbleGums sparked controversy due to their high price and the fact that players had to spend in-game currency multiple times in order to obtain the desired ability from the machine.

The in-game currency in BO3 could also be obtained without any monetary expenditure, however, its reappearance in BO6 reintroduced the possibility of micro-transactions.

Treyarch alleviated those worries by confirming that players will not be required to spend Essence in order to obtain GobbleGums.

Understanding GobbleGums in Black Ops 6

To obtain GobbleGums in Zombies, players must acquire them from the Mr. Peeks machine, which will appear in a different location on the map every game.

Once a machine has been found, players must interact with it in order to receive a randomly dropped GobbleGum. The machine will then either cool down on a timer or be reset at the start of the next round.

Players have the ability to store a maximum of three GobbleGums and are allowed to use any number of them simultaneously.

Unused GobbleGums are retained after each match, so even if you disconnect from a game, they will not be lost. These unused items are stored in a pack with a maximum capacity of five.

You are not able to drop or share GobbleGums, but you do have the option to switch to a different pack at any point during a match using the in-game menu. This will reset the randomized order of the new pack.

There are five levels of rarity, which include Rare, Epic, Legendary, Ultra, and Whimsical. As the rarity increases, the abilities become even more potent. For instance, the Wonderbar, an Ultra rarity, has the capability to turn the next Mystery Box weapon into a Wonder Weapon.

Despite not disclosing all GobbleGums that will be accessible at launch, Treyarch did not reveal every GobbleGum that will be available for launch.
