The gum

In Black Ops 6, blue marks a Rare gum and white swirls an instant one. Fandom shows the same icon on its Black Ops 7 list.

Effect, game by game

GameRarityActivationEffect
Black Ops 4Legendary ElixirInstantSpawns a Full Power power-up. Fandom’s Full Power page says it gives the player who picks it up a full Special Weapon charge and refills their equipment.
Black Ops 6Rare GobbleGum1x ActivationSpawns a Full Power power-up, which gives all players a full Field Upgrade recharge.
Black Ops 7Rare GobbleGum1x ActivationActivates a Full Power power-up. In Black Ops 7, Full Power also shortens the time or kills needed for the next Field Upgrade charge.

Black Ops 7 changed every power-up gum except Reign Drops: the power-up now activates as soon as the gum is used, instead of spawning on the ground. In Black Ops 7, a gum can also be crushed instead of used: a Rare gum gives 500 Essence.

How to get it

  • Black Ops 4: a Legendary Elixir, a consumable that Fandom says is bought with Nebulium Plasma; each drink uses up a bottle.
  • Black Ops 6: added in Season One (November 14, 2024). During the GobbleGum Mania event (December 5 to 19, 2024), it was the personal reward for consuming 5 GobbleGums, and its unlock was also a community goal of 25 billion gums consumed. Two Power Keg gums are in the Season Two Battle Pass, and it was a Top 25 reward, with Stock Option, of the Extinction Protocol event (October 30 to November 6, 2025).
  • Black Ops 7: the gum stock is shared with Black Ops 6, and Fandom notes that every Black Ops 6 gum is available in Black Ops 7. Fandom lists it as a bonus unlock at Level 9 (Corporal III); all gums are unlocked at Level 1.
  • Reign Drops: the other gum that Fandom says can force a Full Power to spawn, along with every other core power-up.
  • Arsenal Accelerator: charges the Special Weapon, or the Field Upgrade in Black Ops 6 and 7, faster instead of all at once.
  • Refresh Mint: an Epic Elixir of Black Ops 4 that refreshes Special Weapon and equipment cooldowns for all players.
  • Kill Joy: another power-up gum, which spawns an Insta-Kill.

Trivia

  • Dead Ops Arcade 4, the arcade mode of Black Ops 7, has its own Power Keg gum with a different effect: concussive waves keep spawning at the player’s location for 60 seconds.
