Here’s how to find and activate the Pack-a-Punch machine on Terminus, allowing you to upgrade your weapons in Black Ops 6 Zombies!
If you want to give your weapons a boost to keep up with the growing strength of the undead, you’ll need to unlock the Pack-a-Punch machine in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Each COD Zombies map requires players to find or activate a Pack-a-Punch in some way, before being able to upgrade your weapon up to three times.
For those getting started on Terminus Island, here’s where to find Black Ops 6 Zombies’ first Pack-a-Punch:
Terminus Pack-a-Punch Guide
- First, from the Terminus starting spawn, head into the room immediately to the West, where you’ll find a strange machine called an AMP in the corner.
- Activate the Aetherium Maturation Pod for 500 Essence and you’ll be tasked with defending the machine from incoming undead who will try to break it.
- Make sure the machine doesn’t take too much damage from enemies (though it is invulnerable to your own explosive damage) or the objective will fail.
- If the process fails, you’ll need to wait until the next round for the machine to cool down before you can try again.
- After successfully defending one AMP, two more will be marked on your map. Head outside and follow the objective marker to the East (or simply follow the purple arrows around the map) to find the second AMP at the bottom of the nearby stairs.
- You’ll need to spend Essence to open several doors along the way, but you’ll have more than enough after completing a couple of rounds.
- The second AMP is in the Barracks at the bottom of the island, and you have to activate and defend it once again.
- Each AMP provides local power to its surrounding area, so you can use the second one to power up the Juggernog machine and make your life easier.
- Head back out of the Barracks to the East, following the purple arrows once more, opening another door and heading through the map’s underground tunnels.
- You’ll now find yourself in the cryo pod room, where the Pack-a-Punch is within your grasp. Complete the final AMP in this area.
- Finally, once you’re all done, dive into the water below the cryo pod walkways.
- Swim down under the water and interact with the indicated Inclined Lift platform to have it rise up. On it, you’ll find your Pack-a-Punch machine, powered up and ready to use!
To use the Pack-a-Punch to upgrade your weapon, you’ll need 5000 Essence initially. After that, you’ll need 10,000 and 15,000 Essence respectively to hit the higher tiers.
You can even Pack-a-Punch all of the Wonder Weapons on Terminus, so be sure to track those down for some incredibly-powerful guns!
