Black Ops 6 Zombies is back & in a HUGE way. The return of Gobblegums! No longer branded by Doctor Monty, but instead by Mr. Peeks, BO6 Zombies Gobblegums will give you an advantage against the oncoming hordes & their mutant counterparts. There’s a lot to unpack here, so chew on some Gobblegum & let’s delve on into it shall we? Here’s all you need to know about Mr. Peeks Gobblegums in Black Ops 6 Zombies:
Custom Packs
You will be able to create your own custom Gobblegum packs, similar to how you could in Black Ops 3. These custom packs will contain 5 different Gobblegums, all having different effects or benefits based on which ones you choose. Once chosen, you’ll have access to them from a special confectionary machine. This machine will randomly spit out one of your selected Gobblegums upon interaction with it.
A new & HUGE change has been added to the Gobblegum system. You’ll be able to SWAP Gobblegum packs at ANY time during a match by using the in-game menu! Please note: Changing to another Gobblegum pack will reset the randomized order of your newly selected pack.
The Gobblegums you’ll be able to choose will be based off the collection you have in your inventory. One way to ensure your Gobblegum collection is filled is by earning them in-game. Gobblegums as usual are single-use items, & will be removed from your inventory once received in-game.
How to Obtain & Earn
“Mr. Peeks is only too happy to provide you with an in-game confectionary machine from which to extricate your gobstopper.”
Simply interacting with the Gobblegum machine (no essence required) will randomly dispense a Gobblegum, ready for collection & consumption. The machine will then cool down on a timer, or upon the next round beginning, will immediately reset. Grab it, & it’ll be added to your inventory & HUD. You can store up to 3 gums at a time, & use one, two, or all three at once as well. This new system may add many new dimensions to combat, as the Gobblegums effects interact with augmentations, powerups, & your fellow teammates. Disclaimer: Gobblegums still cannot be dropped or shared amongst your team!
How to Earn Gobblegums in Black Ops 6 Zombies
New Gobblegums can be earned in-game, simply by playing. You can expect one (or more) random Gobblegums to be earned every few rounds. You’ll know that you’ve earned a new Gobblegum as a reward sequence will display at the beginning of a subsequent round.
GobbleGum Rarity
With the return of GobbleGums, also comes the return of their various rarity levels. GobbleGums will have 5 different rarity levels. One rule that goes without saying, the higher the rarity, the more powerful the effect of the Gobblegum. Here are the various Gobblegum rarities:
- Rare Gobblegum
- Epic Gobblegum
- Legendary Gobblegum
- Ultra Gobblegum
- Whimsical Gobblegum
The returning “Whimsical” Gobblegums will provide an amusing, entertaining, or sometimes hilarious effect on the undead in your game. These gums are focused more on fun, rather than providing an advantage.

Purchasing Gobblegums Explained
The latest blogpost confirms players will be able to purchase Gobblegums through the in game store. How these purchases can be made remains to be seen, but the Vault Edition DOES come with a Gobblegum pack.
(Pack details currently unknown).
Considering the zombie bonuses for MWZ that were in various MWIII bundles and battlepasses, it’s likely that we’ll see Gobblegums in a similar light within BO6.
What we do know is that there will not be a gambling factory system that’s similar to Black Ops 3 or Black Ops 4.
