Black Ops 6 Zombies: How to Get a Free Ray Gun in The Tomb
Skip the Mystery Box and dig your way to a guaranteed Ray Gun in Black Ops 6's new Zombies map, The Tomb.
Article:
In Black Ops 6, the Ray Gun is a timeless classic that players always aim to get their hands on, just like in World at War and previous Black Ops entries. With the release of The Tomb, the latest Zombies map, players might feel the urge to spin the Mystery Box over and over, draining their points in search of the Ray Gun. But what if there’s a guaranteed way to get it, and even as early as round 3? Thanks to a hidden easter egg in The Tomb, you can skip the RNG and earn the iconic weapon for free. It’s time to grab a shovel and get to digging—there’s a free Ray Gun waiting for you.
Where to Find Dig Sites in The Tomb
To get started on your quest for the Ray Gun, you’ll first need to acquire a shovel. Shovels can be found at various spots across the map, and they’re easily identifiable thanks to their glowing white outline. Here are some common locations to find a shovel in The Tomb:
Near Quick Revive in the Deep Excavation area.
Against walls in the spawn area of the Dig Site.
Once you’ve got your shovel, it’s time to get digging. Look for dirt mounds with bones and skulls nearby, along with a prompt to dig when you approach them. This is where the hunt for the Ancient Gems begins.
How to Collect Ancient Gems
The key to unlocking the Ray Gun is digging up 3 Ancient Gems. These glowing green rocks have a small chance to appear when digging up the mounds. They’re necessary for the next part of the easter egg, and you’ll need to collect all three to move forward.
While dig sites can spawn around the map every round or two, here are a few key areas to search for them:
Deep Excavation (located in the eastern part of the map near Quick Revive).
Spawn Area of the Dig Site (scattered around the mound).
Shrine of the Hierophants (where Stamin-Up is located, particularly in shadowy areas).
Since the Ancient Gems can take a few rounds to appear, patience is essential. Keep checking these spots after each round and gather the gems as they show up.
Where to Find the Free Ray Gun
Once you’ve collected all three Ancient Gems, you’re ready for the next step. Make your way to The Tombs area, which can be accessed through the Roman Mausoleum area or by going up from the Shrine of the Hierophants.
Once you’re in the Tombs, head to the East corner of the map. You’ll spot a mural wall featuring a bull, with a small statue of a bearded man located to the left of it. Interact with the bearded man statue, and it will transfer the energy of the three Ancient Gems into orbs.
At this point, two Doppelghasts will spawn. Don’t panic—these enemies are relatively easy to deal with, even with their glowing green eyes. Once you’ve taken them down, you’ll receive Potts and Paints PT 5 Intel, 1,100 Essence, and, of course, the Ray Gun.
Conclusion
Getting the Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies has never been easier—there’s no need to rely on the Mystery Box and waste your points. With this easter egg in The Tomb, you can grab the Ray Gun as early as round 3, as long as you have the patience and determination to dig up the Ancient Gems and unlock the secrets of the map. Happy hunting, and may your journey through The Tomb be full of explosive fun!
