Power Vacuum | ZFRR Hub

Power Vacuum is a GobbleGum of Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Black Ops 7 Zombies, and an Elixir of Black Ops 4. While it lasts, power-ups drop more often; Black Ops III and 4 also lift the cap on drops per round.

Effect, game by game

Game	Rarity	Duration	Effect
Black Ops III	Ultra-Rare Mega	4 rounds	Power-ups spawn more often. The drop chance is greatly increased and the normal cap of 4 drops per round is ignored.
Black Ops 4	Epic Elixir	5 minutes	Power-up drop chance is increased, the round cap is ignored.
Black Ops 7	Epic	5 minutes	Power-ups spawn more often.

Black Ops 6 does not have it: Power Vacuum is one of the gums found only in Black Ops 7, and it does not carry over to Black Ops 6 even though the two games share a gum stock. The Black Ops 7 description does not mention the round cap.

Every ranked run is on the ZFRR leaderboards.

How to get it

Black Ops III: as a Mega GobbleGum, it only comes from Liquid Divinium in Dr. Monty's Factory or from specific Easter eggs, and each one taken from the machine leaves the player's collection.
Black Ops 4: like every Elixir that is not a Classic, it is bought with Nebulium Plasma and each drink uses up a bottle.
Black Ops 7: unlocked at level 20; the first completion of the Druid Stone relic trial on Kowakujō, in Cursed mode, also gives one along with 1,000 XP.

Temporal Gift: makes power-ups last longer instead of dropping more of them.
Reign Drops: all the core power-ups at once.
I'm Feeling Lucky: one random power-up per use.

Trivia

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