Newtonian Negation is a Whimsical GobbleGum that makes killed zombies fall straight up instead of down. It first appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops III, came back as a Whimsical Elixir in Black Ops 4, then as a GobbleGum again in Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7. The effect is the same everywhere; the activation and the duration changed.

In ZFRR rules

Every category and its runs are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

How to get it

  • Black Ops III: the Whimsical gum of the Salvation map pack; the four Whimsical gums of the game came with some of the downloadable map packs.
  • Black Ops 4: listed among the earned Elixirs, not those bought with Nebulium Plasma.
  • Black Ops 7: two of them on page 8 of the Season Six Battle Pass, and one as a challenge reward of the Dead Ops Arcade 4 event (February 26 to March 2, 2026), for a score of 500,000.
  • Projectile Vomiting: the first Whimsical gum of Black Ops III, released one map pack earlier.
  • Quacknarok: the other Whimsical Elixir of Black Ops 4, also back in Black Ops 6 and 7; the two sit side by side in the Black Ops 4 loadouts of the ZFRR rules.
  • Rainburps: a Black Ops 6 Whimsical gum that also acts on the zombies the player kills.

Trivia

  • In Black Ops III, the hanging body of Peter McCain on Shi No Numa rises into the air when Newtonian Negation is active.
  • On Alpha Omega (Black Ops 4), the code GRAV typed into Rushmore gives the Newtonian Negation effect for one minute.
  • The gum also exists in Dead Ops Arcade 4 of Black Ops 7, where the wiki gives the same effect.
