Stock Option

Stock Option takes ammo from the reserve instead of the magazine, so the player shoots without reloading, as a GobbleGum or Elixir from Black Ops III to Black Ops 7.

Stock Option feeds the weapon straight from its reserve: shots are taken from the stockpile instead of the magazine. It is a Classic GobbleGum available from the start in Black Ops III, a Classic Elixir in Black Ops 4 and a Rare GobbleGum in Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7.

The effect never changed, only its length did. On Black Ops III, the wiki points out that it lets the player fire single-round weapons such as the XM-53 or the Apothicon Servant again and again without reloading.

How to get it

  • Black Ops III: available by default, with no rank needed.
  • Black Ops 4: a Classic Elixir, earned by levelling up.
  • Black Ops 6: unlocked at Level 8 (Corporal II), and part of the packs given at Level 20 of Prestige 1 and Prestige 5 and at Prestige Master Level 1000.
  • Black Ops 7: unlocked at Level 23 (Master Gunnery Sergeant II).
  • Alchemical Antithesis: fills the reserve with points while this one empties it.
  • Phantom Reload: a Black Ops 4 Elixir that sometimes refills the magazine without touching the reserve.
  • Free Fire: goes further: firing uses no ammo at all.

Trivia

  • Dead Ops Arcade 4, in Black Ops 7, has a gum of the same name with a different effect.
