In ZFRR rules

  • Black Ops 4, Purist, on Alpha Omega, Ancient Evil, Blood of the Dead, Classified and Voyage of Despair, in the required Elixir loadout: “Megas: Conflagration Liquidation, Who’s Keeping Score, Extra Credit, Dividend Yield” The same Purist rules also say: “Elixirs and talismans are not allowed to be used.”
  • Black Ops 4, Purist, on IX, in the required Elixir loadout: “Megas: Conflagration Liquidation, Licensed Contractor, Who’s Keeping Score, Extra Credit, Dividend Yield” The same Purist rules also say: “Elixirs and talismans are not allowed to be used.”

Every category and its runs are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

How to get it

  • Black Ops III: a Mega GobbleGum, so it has limited uses. Fandom says Megas come only from Liquid Divinium spent in Dr. Monty’s Factory, or from specific Easter eggs.
  • Black Ops 4: a Common Elixir, one of the consumables that Fandom says are bought with Nebulium Plasma; each drink uses one up.
  • Black Ops 6: a rank reward at Level 11 (Sergeant II); Fandom notes that every gum is unlocked from Level 1 and that rank rewards are bonuses. It is also in the Perk-A-Cola pack of Prestige 1 and the Bite Chews pack of Prestige 6 (Level 20), the Mystery Box pack of Prestige Master Level 65 and the Weapon Upgrade pack of Prestige Master Level 1000, and two of them come in the Season Five Battle Pass.
  • Black Ops 7: Fandom says the gum stock is shared with Black Ops 6. Two of them in each of the Season Four, Five and Six Battle Passes, and one for the Relic Trial of the Teddy Bear on Ashes of the Damned, in Cursed, along with 1000 XP.
  • Reign Drops: spawns Double Points along with every other core power-up.
  • Kill Joy: the same kind of gum for an Insta-Kill.
  • Cache Back: the same kind of gum for a Max Ammo.
  • Pay Day: an Infinite Warfare Fortune card that spawns a Double Money power-up.

Trivia

  • Dead Ops Arcade 4, in Black Ops 7, has its own Who’s Keeping Score?, which raises the treasure spawn rate for five minutes.
