Black Ops 6 Zombies Reckoning Easter Egg guide: How to get the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon

To acquire the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon in the new Reckoning map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, first play through the guided in-game objectives until you've unlocked and activated the Pack-a-Punch machine. Once that’s done, follow the steps outlined below to complete the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon Easter Egg:

Solve the Code Puzzle in T1 Mutant Research Area

Head to the T1 Mutant Research Area. You’ll need to solve a puzzle to obtain a code that unlocks a door.

Go near the Deadshot Daiquiri machine. Just beside it, you’ll see three consoles, one of which has a static-filled display.
Approach it, and a random word will appear. Just remember the first letter.
Now go to the T1 Mutant Research Test Area where the Periodic Table is located. Another console with static will reveal another word. Again, note the first letter only.

I received the words “Castigate” and “Abhorrent,” so the first letters are C and A, which can form either CA or AC."

Go to the Periodic Table and find the chemical element corresponding to that symbol.
For instance, CA stands for Calcium, with the atomic number 20.
Format the atomic number into a three-digit code by adding zeros before if needed (e.g., 20 becomes 020).

Now, head to the elevated locked door in the Mutant Research Area (accessible via stairs). You’ll find a small control panel nearby and enter the code.

If correct, the door will open, granting access to the T1 Bioweapons Lab.

Inside the Bioweapons Lab, locate a test console with a strange black and yellow substance called The Cyst.

To activate the Cyst:

Shoot and kill Vermins near the console. Their souls will be absorbed.
You’ll need at least three Vermin souls, followed by a few normal zombie souls.

Once powered up, interact with the console to collect the Cyst.

Power up the Cyst using Dark Aether Flora

Now, return to the T1 Quantum Computing Core.

There is a large gap in the Mutant Research Lab. Jump to reach the Quantum Computing Core.

Inside, locate Dark Aether flowers (or mushrooms). To power the Cyst:

Approach a flower, and the Cyst will automatically begin absorbing energy.
A meter will appear on the screen. Stay close until the meter fully depletes.
Repeat this process three times using three different flowers scattered across the area.

(Refer to the image guide below for all flower locations.)

Initiate a Power Surge in the T2 Dark Entity Containment area

Head to the T2 Dark Entity Containment Area.

Near the ammo crate, or to the right of the GobbleGum machine, you'll find a console with the prompt “Initiate Power Surge.”
Interact with it to start the sequence.
You’ll now have to interact with three additional consoles, one on each side of the room. Move clockwise, quickly activating each one before the timer runs out.

This will initiate the power surge.

Defeat Uber Klaus (Forsaken) to obtain the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon

After the power surge begins, an Uber Klaus will spawn.

Damage it, but don’t eliminate, leave around 10% of its health.
Lure it into the electrified field that appears in front of Forsaken.

Once Uber Klaus is in the field, the Forsaken will infuse its essence into the robot, transforming it into a mini-boss.

Defeat this HVT version of Uber Klaus, and upon success, you’ll be rewarded with the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon in Black Ops 6 Zombies Reckoning.

After acquiring the Gorgofex, you can upgrade it further. The base variant is already powerful, but it cannot be Pack-a-Punched. Once upgraded, however, it becomes eligible for Pack-a-Punch, making it significantly stronger with each tier. The weapon can evolve into one of two variants: Gorgofex N or Gorgofex C, but you can only choose one per playthrough.

The upgrade path depends on whom you decide to help, either Panos or Blanchard. Helping one results in the death of the other, which in turn powers up and upgrades the Gorgofex. This choice is why only a single variant can be unlocked in each match.
