Black Ops 6 Zombies: GobbleGums explained – Rarities, effects, & how to get

With Zombies returning once again in Black Ops 6, it’s reintroducing GobbleGums into Zombies once again, so here is everything you need to know about how it’ll work in BO6, all its rarities, effects, and how to get them.

When introduced in Black Ops 3, GobbleGums was controversial as it was expensive, forcing players to spend in-game currency or grind for the desired effect.

Now that it has been reintroduced and reworked, things will work out differently in Black Ops 6 since you won’t have to buy them, and they can be obtained for free.

So here is everything you need to know about how GobbleGums will work in Black Ops 6.

How do GobbleGums work?

GobbleGums are candies that give you a power-up. You can get them from Mr.Peeks GobbleGum Machines scattered across Zombies maps.

Before a match starts, you can equip five different types of GobbleGums in your loadout. When you come across a machine, you can use it to have a chance to get any of the five GobbleGums you chose.

In a match, you can store up to three unique GobbleGums on you and select which Gum you want to use any time you want. Remember, these Gums are single-use, but you can always get more from a machine.

After interacting with the machine and getting your Gum, it will be on a cooldown until you can get your next one.

So if you are an older player from the days of Black Ops 3, rejoice as GobbleGums are no longer pay-to-win, as it’s now completely free.
