There's a lot to learn when diving into the Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Besides finding the Pack-A-Punch machines, Wonder Weapons are probably the most sought-after secrets on Liberty Falls and Terminus. We already covered how to get the Jet Gun on Liberty Falls, but the Beamsmasher is just as tricky to find on Terminus. Here's a full step-by-step guide on building this wonderful weapon.

How to make the Beamsmasher

The Beamshasher is this map's secret Wonder Weapon and crafting it is a lengthy process. We suggest having a team around to help keep the zombies off your back while performing this process.

Step 1: The first step involves turning the power on via four generators around the map. We have a full guide on this as part of turning on the Pack-A-Punch machine that you can refer to, but the short version is that you can find them just by following the objective markers on your screen and mini map.

It takes 500 Essence to activate each one and then requires you to defend them for 30 seconds before activating tem. Turn all four on to go on to the next step.

Step 2: The next step involves activating three laptops hidden around Terminus. The first one can be found on the map shown here near the Quick Revive.

Step 3: The second is south of the Stamin-Up shown here.

Step 4: And the third and last laptop is on a roof by the docks.

You will also see some symbols on the screens change as you activate them, but they don't have anything to do with getting the Beamsmasher, so there's no need to memorize them or write them down.

Step 5: Next, find an Arsenal Machine and buy the Deadwire ammo mod for whatever gun you have.

Step 6: Head over to where the Pack-A-Punch machine is located and activate the incline lift. As it rises up, look in the direction of the panel to spot a bank of windows as you rise up. On the right side will be an electrical box you need to shoot with your Deadwire ammo before it leaves your view. Once you do, follow the spark it spawns through the wall to a second box on your right, which you need to shoot. The last one is to your right, again at the top.

Step 7: There will be two more boxes to find and shoot, the first being in Engineering above the generator here.

Step 8: The last one is on the outside of that same wall here.

Step 9: This will open the two green doors to a lab. Inside, kill the zombie pinned under the fallen shelf and pick up the EMF fob he drops.

Step 10: Travel to the Sea Tower and find the briefcase with a severed hand holding onto it. Interact with it to crack it open and grab the Multiphasic Resonator.

Step 11: Take this back to the lab you just left and use it with this machine.

Step 12: You can now either solve the puzzle using the whiteboard to figure out what numbers represent X, Y, and Z or go to the Guard Station to pay Peck to solve it for you.

Step 13: Whichever way you get the solution, enter the three numbers onto the machine to activate it.

Step 14: Complete whatever round you're on for the machine to finish targeting.

Step 15: The screen will then show you one of the islands on the map that you need to travel to. Again, it will be different on each playthrough, so go to wherever it points you.

Step 16: When you get to your island, you will find a glowing blue energy ball that you can interact with to place the injector into. This will cause a wave of zombies to attack and that you need to survive, but at one point, the orb will zap one zombie. Kill that one and pick up the energy and bring it to the orb. This process will repeat two more times.

Step 17: After all that, the orb will fly off to a second island and turn green where you need to do the same set of steps again.

Step 18: Third time's a charm. The orb will once again fly off to one more island and turn purple. You know what to do.

When this orb vanishes, it will drop an AMP Munition you need to grab.

Step 19: Go all the way back to the lab one last time and to the workbench in the back corner where you can finally craft the Beamsmasher,

The best Perk-A-Colas in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
A screenshot from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's zombies mode.

There's nothing more refreshing than taking a nice big swig of a Perk-A-Cola during an intense Zombies match with your pals in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Besides tasting great (we assume), these colas empower you with buffs that will keep you alive until the later rounds. These bonuses are just as important as the Pack-A-Punch, but come in a wider range of flavors. It is possible to stack them all, but that gets expensive very fast so you need to be thrifty about choosing which ones are most valuable early on. These colas come in eight different types that may or may not be worth your Essence to chug. If you want to know which ones are the best in Black Ops 6, check out our ranking.
Best Perk-A-Colas in Black Ops 6

We're ranking these Perk-A-Colas based on their base bonuses, not any additional effects you can get if you Augment them, from best to worst.
Jugger-Nog
You can never go wrong with the classic Jugger-Nog. Increasing your health by 100 is useful for the entire duration of a Zombies mode, but especially in the early rounds. Going down is at best a major setback and at worst a cascade into defeat. This extra health allows you to get out of a bad situation that would otherwise end your run.
Quick Revive
This Perk has two components, with the less useful one being the ability to revive teammates 50% faster. Ideally, that shouldn't be needed but is nice. However, what makes it rank so high is the 50% shorter delay on health regen. Your health will come back over time in Zombies but at a dreadful pace. Starting to heal faster means less time running and kiting zombies around and more time in the action helping the team.
Speed Cola
The best early guns for Zombies mode have a large magazine, fast reload, or both. Running out of ammo at the wrong time and not being able to get more rounds in the chamber fast enough has ended many a run, but Speed Cola is the solution. It will speed up your reloads and armor plating by 30%. That's not a massive number, but fast enough to make the difference.
Stamin-Up
These zombies aren't the shambling types. They will chase you down like sprinters, and some of the monstrous ones can outpace you even at full tilt. Stamin-Up sounds like it would let you run for longer, but actually just lets you run faster since you have no limit on sprint in Black Ops 6. Positioning is everything in Zombies so being able to get where you need to be faster is never a bad thing, especially if it's a downed teammate bleeding out.
Deadshot Daiquiri
Every zombie has a weak spot, which is most often the head. Deadshot Daiquiri makes a critical hit hurt even more than normal, plus increases your auto-aim on those weak points when you aim down sights (ADS). That second part shouldn't factor much if you've got good aim, which is why this is only a decent Perk-A-Cola.
PhD Flopper
Not being able to hurt yourself is situationally useful, and the ability to cause an explosion by diving is a risky move. Yes, it's cool, but you don't want to be lying prone surrounded by zombies. This is a cool gimmick, but save yourself the Essence and skip it.
Elemental Pop
When Elemental Pop works, it's great. The problem with it is that you can't rely on it. It gives a small chance on every shot you take to add a random ammo mod effect, which is cool but impractical. If you have spare Essence on you, sure, it won't hurt you to have, but it isn't something that will turn the tide for you or your team.
Melee Macchiato
Finally, Melee Macchiato bottoms out the list. It is fine in the early game when the hordes are small and you're better off meleeing enemies since it will smack enemies away with each hit, but quickly drops off in usefulness. When the zombies get too strong and too numerous, you will need a lot more than a strong punch to deal with them and end up forgetting you even have it.

How to get Double XP tokens in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Soldiers near a train in Black Ops 6.

Even with all the best tips and tricks, grinding your way through all the levels in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will take you a long time. Each level will take more and more XP to reach and can eventually feel like a chore, even if you swap over to Zombies mode. As has been the case for many entries now, Double XP tokens exist as a way to speed up the grind by doubling the amount of experience you earn for a set duration of time. Naturally, these are some of the most sought-after items in the game, but they're not so easy to come by. If you need a helpful XP boost while running games with your squad, here's every way you can get more Double XP tokens in Black Ops 6.
How to get Double XP tokens in Black Ops 6

There are a few ways to get Double XP tokens, but not all of them are free. We'll start with the ways you can earn them in-game before talking about the more costly options.
Prestige
Who deserves a Double XP token more than someone who has grinded all the way to level 55? Once you hit max level and opt to Prestige, you will get a one-hour Double XP token, which is the longest length they come in.
Follow Call of Duty's socials
The official Call of Duty X (formerly Twitter) account regularly posts opportunities to earn several Double XP tokens if you engage with the post. This is a quick and easy way to snag some free tokens.
Purchase the C.O.D.E. Endeavor Tracer Pack
Our first paid option is the extra DLC Endeavor Tracer Pack. Besides some cosmetics, you also get two Double XP tokens (one player and one weapon) that last an hour each.
Drinks and pizza
The two main brand promotions with Black Ops 6 this year are tied to Monster Energy and Little Caesars. Buying a marked can or purchasing a qualifying item will get you a small handful of rewards that include Double XP tokens.
Battle Pass
The Black Ops 6 battle pass isn't out at the time of this writing, but we do know that it will include Double XP tokens among its rewards. There will be both a free and paid version of the pass, but details about what can be unlocked in each version are not yet available. To be safe, we're assuming you will need to buy the pass to get these tokens.

War is hell, but Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes it a carnival game
Zombies shambling in Black Ops 6.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who play Call of Duty and those who don’t. For three glorious hours, I was finally part of the former. Then it all came crashing down in a hail of gunfire.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is out now and it's being hailed as a return to greatness for the struggling series. Critics have praised features like its game-changing Omnimovement and welcomed the return of round-based Zombies mode. The star attraction, though, is this installment’s campaign. After years of experimental failures, Black Ops 6 delivers a straightforward political thriller full of eclectic missions. It’s a great premise, one that allows developer Raven to goof around with a “gone rogue” story featuring characters like Russel Adler.
