BO6 Zombies: Complete GobbleGum Guide (How to Get & Use)

As a long-time Zombies enthusiast who’s witnessed the evolution of GobbleGums since their introduction in Black Ops 3, I must admit that the return of these delightful little treats in Black Ops 6 has me both excited and perplexed. The developers’ initial promise of free-to-play items quickly turned into a microtransaction affair, leaving players like me scratching our heads about how to earn these goodies without spending a dime.


Nostalgia fills the air as GobbleGums make their comeback in Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, but the process to acquire them has become more intricate than before. Contrary to initial claims, developers have suggested that GobbleGums won’t solely be earned through playing Zombies like traditional free-to-play items. Instead, they will also be available for purchase in the Store. However, the developers have yet to clarify exactly how gameplay will generate GobbleGums.

For a clearer comprehension, we’ve compiled an easy-to-grasp guide on the updated GobbleGums in Black Ops 6. Upon finishing this guide, you’ll be well-versed in multiple ways to acquire gums, along with mastering their rarities and functions like a seasoned pro.

In the Zombies gameplay, you have five ways to acquire and unlock GobbleGums: by playing the game, progressing to higher character levels, advancing through Prestige stages, successfully escaping at higher rounds, and buying GobbleGums from the store following Season One’s debut.

Play the Game for Random GobbleGum Rewards

In the debut announcement for Zombies mode, creators mentioned that you’ll occasionally find GobbleGums at random when defeating groups of enemies. The method for obtaining them isn’t fixed, as the results largely depend on luck or chance (RNG). Typically, you’ll get the least valuable types of GobbleGums.

Unlock GobbleGums via Level Unlocks

The most reliable way to unlock more GobbleGums is by leveling up. In the Progression section of the Barracks tab, you can check which gums will be granted at each level.

Prestige to Get More GobbleGums

At every 20th level upgrading (Prestige), you’ll get a pack containing between three and five GobbleGums. As you progress to higher Prestige levels, the quality of the GobbleGums improves. However, it’s important to note that even at the highest levels, you won’t typically receive many Ultra (extremely rare) Gum as part of these rewards.

Exfil After Round 15 to Earn Whimsical Gums

As stated in Treyarch’s tweet, managing to escape from any Zombies map after round 15 could potentially reward you with one to three entertaining GobbleGums known as Whimsical ones. These GobbleGums add a touch of fun to the game without influencing the gameplay or statistics, but they can certainly make your gaming experience more enjoyable.

Purchase GobbleGums via Microtransaction

Initially, GobbleGums were offered for free, but it was later confirmed that they can also be purchased from the in-game store. Therefore, one option to obtain them is through microtransactions. Keep in mind that the store for Black Ops 6 isn’t available yet and you’ll have to wait until the game’s first season starts before you can access it.

How GobbleGums Are Different in Black Ops 6 Zombies

In Black Ops 6, GobbleGums – initially presented in Black Ops 3 – have been reintroduced with revised features tailored to suit the Zombies gameplay style. Here’s a rundown of the modifications:

  • Cooldown Timer: Instead of paying credits to get GobbleGums from the vending machines, which increased in cost each round, Black Ops 6 allows you to obtain them for free with a five-minute cooldown. This cooldown is machine-exclusive and resets at the start of each round.
  • Multiple GobbleGums: Previously, you could only store one GobbleGum at a time. In Black Ops 6, you can hold up to three and activate them simultaneously.
  • No Crafting: In Black Ops 3, you could craft high-rarity GobbleGums by spending Liquid Divinium at Doctor Monty’s Factory. In Black Ops 6, crafting is not possible, and GobbleGums can only be unlocked through gameplay progression or microtransactions.
