Black Ops 6 Zombies has 41 GobbleGums, the first gums since Black Ops III: Black Ops 4 used Elixirs instead, and Cold War and Vanguard had none. A gum is no longer chewed the moment it leaves the machine: it goes into an inventory of three and is used whenever the player chooses. Every gum is now limited in number, in five rarities: Rare, Epic, Legendary, Ultra and Whimsical.

How GobbleGums work in Black Ops 6

IntroducedBlack Ops 6, released October 25, 2024

MachineFree, one gum every 10 seconds; the machine is themed around Mister Peeks

InventoryUp to three gums, used at any time; no new gum until a slot is free

PacksUp to five packs in the loadout, switchable mid-game; the player spawns with the first three gums of the pack

RaritiesRare, Epic, Legendary, Ultra, Whimsical

StockEvery gum is limited; one is spent only when activated

ActivationInstant (white swirls), conditional (speckled rainbow) or timed (plain background)

The GobbleGum machine still hands out gums for free, every 10 seconds, but Fandom says a gum taken from it is added to the inventory instead of being consumed. The player holds up to three, picks which one to activate and when, and cannot take another until a slot is free. The loadout still has GobbleGum packs: up to five, switchable during the match, and the game starts with the first three gums of the chosen pack.

Every gum, at every rarity, is limited in quantity. Only activating a gum spends one from the player’s bank; receiving it does not. More gums come as random drops while playing, up to three per drop, and as rewards for levels, Prestige, events and the Battle Pass; the first completion of a map’s Main Quest gives a set pack with guaranteed Ultra gums, and gums can also be bought with COD Points.

A gum’s colour gives its rarity, as with weapons, and its background pattern tells how it activates: white swirls for instant, a speckled rainbow for a conditional trigger (the next Mystery Box spin, the next perk, the next wall buy), a plain background for a timed effect. Of the 41 gums, 21 come from Black Ops III and 14 are new to Black Ops 6; the others were Black Ops 4 Elixirs.

On the ZFRR boards, Purist is the reference category: “no perk, no Field Upgrade, no GobbleGum, no Mystery Box, no Arsenal, no Crafting Table and no extra Self-Revive.” The No GobbleGums boards say: “Gums are NOT ALLOWED with the exception of ‘Anywhere But Here’ to get unstuck from the map (please timestamp if used).” On the All GobbleGums boards, “Timed out gobblegum is NOT ALLOWED.” Every board is on the ZFRR leaderboards.
