You have to make the most of what you got while attempting to survive and destroy zombie hordes in BO6 Zombies. To help you survive, you can pick up weapons and upgrade them, and also collect perks while exploring the map. One element that has carried over from BO3 Zombies is the Gobblegums, which can be consumed to give unique abilities.
Each Gobblegum offers a different ability that benefits you while exploring the map. In this guide we have put up the best ways to farm Gobblegums in BO6 Zombies.
How To Get More Gobblegums In BO6 Zombies
The best method that will guarantee Gobblegums is to exfil. Exfiling between Rounds 15 to 29 gets you one extra Whimsical Gobblegum, and exfiling between Rounds 30 to 34 gives you two Whimsical Gobblegums. Exfiling anytime after Round 45 will give you three Whimsical Gobblegums. You can also use the GobbleGum Machines during the early stages of the game, but later on you can start farming Gobblegums naturally by completing rounds and exfiling.
Another way you can earn a Gobblegum is by leveling up and unlocking Prestige, but the level progress can slow down, which makes earning Gobblegums this way a bit slow.
At every 50 rounds you complete, you can earn double the number of Gobblegums. While that is a rough estimate of when you can get extra Gobblegums, you might sometimes get them between rounds 1 to 25 as well.
Fastest Gobblegum Farming Method In BO6 Zombies
To farm Gobblegums, you need to progress through the rounds as fast as possible, which also means you need to kill zombies faster to pass the round. The best map for this is Liberty Falls, as there are a few closed areas where you can trap zombies in for easy and fast kills. Once you spawn into Liberty Falls, activate the Rampage Inducer and quickly zip through the rounds till you reach Round 8, then deactivate the Rampage counter. Use this time to upgrade your weapon and collect Perks. Also, remember that headshots offer a better chance to progress levels quicker than explosives.
Continue through the rounds as usual till you reach Rounds 14 to 15. Activate the Rampage Inducer once again and find a good zombie spawn spot. Continue killing them for another 7 or 8 rounds till you can get either the Mutant Injection or the Chopper Gunner equipment. Once you reach Rounds 22 to 25, turn off the Rampage Inducer and prepare for exfil. Rounds 25 – 27 are the ideal levels to start the exfil process, so call up the chopper to leave the mode. Use the Chopper Gunner or the Mutant Injection to successfully exfil out of there.
How To Get Higher Rarity Gobblegums In BO6
Gobblegums come in four levels of rarity; Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Ultra. The higher into the Rounds you go, the better and higher your Gobblegum rarity will be. Each Gobblegum rarity is further divided into two; Uncommon and Common. So you got the Uncommon Rare, Common Rare, Uncommon Epic, Common Epic, and so on. Getting the uncommon type Gobblegums is a bit of a gamble, but you are always assured of getting the common types as you make progress.
You can get specific rarity Gobblegums when you reach certain rounds. While you are guaranteed to get the Common Gobblegums, at certain levels you might get the Uncommon variants too, thus earning two Gobblegums. Below are the rounds you need to complete to get a Gobblegum reward.
- Rounds 1 – 10: Rare Gobblegums (Common)
- Rounds 11 – 25: Epic Gobblegums (Common) and a small chance to get the Rare Gobblegums (Uncommon)
- Rounds 25 – 35: Legendary Gobblegums (Common) and a small chance to get the Epic Gobblegums (Uncommon)
- Rounds 35 – 50: Ultra Gobblegums (Uncommon/ Common) and a small chance to get the Legendary Gobblegums (Uncommon)
In short, you need to grind through the levels instead of exfiling early if you are looking for the higher rarity Gobblegums. With consistency, you can collect all the higher rarity Gobblegums and exfil with them to use them later.
