Alchemical Antithesis trades points for ammunition: while it is active, every 10 points the player earns are paid as one round in the reserve of the weapon in hand. It is a Classic GobbleGum of Black Ops III and came back as a Rare Elixir in Black Ops 4.

The wiki details how the Black Ops III version behaves:

  • Every source of points counts, power-ups included: under Double Points, the ammo gained doubles too.
  • The points themselves are not paid while the gum is active. Once the current weapon is full, points are paid normally again.
  • The Death Machine has unlimited ammo, so the rounds go to the weapon held when the power-up was picked up; if that weapon is full, points come back.

How to get it

  • Black Ops III: unlocked at Rank Level 35.
  • Black Ops 4: a Rare Elixir, one of the rarities the wiki lists as bought with Nebulium Plasma rather than earned by levelling up.
  • Stock Option: the reverse trade: shots are taken from the reserve instead of the magazine.
  • Phantom Reload: a Black Ops 4 Elixir that sometimes fills the magazine without touching the reserve.
  • Free Fire: firing costs no ammo at all, from Black Ops 4 to Black Ops 7.

Trivia

  • A Black Ops III calling card, “Bullet Bonanza”, asks for 3000 bullets earned with Alchemical Antithesis.
