Treyarch has made acquiring the new Wonder Weapon, the Gorg Effects, in Black Ops 6 Zombies DLC 4 Reckoning quite challenging. However, by following these clear steps, players can unlock this powerful weapon in no time.
Step 1: Open the Map and Activate Pack-a-Punch
First, explore the entire map, unlocking all areas and activating the Pack-a-Punch machine. This is essential to progress towards obtaining the Gorg Effects.
Step 2: Solve the Periodic Table Code Puzzle
Next, head to Tower One’s Mutant Research Lab. There, locate two monitors showing static—one by the periodic table and another near the Deadshot perk machine. Each monitor flashes a word that changes every round. Take note of the first letter of each word.
For example, in one game, the words were Male and Traitor, giving the letters M and T. Combine or rearrange these letters to form the symbol of an element from the periodic table. "MT" corresponds to Miterium, with the atomic number 109 on the periodic chart.
Enter this number as a three-digit code on the keypad upstairs in Tower One’s Mutant Research Test Area. If the atomic number is only two digits, add a zero in front (e.g., 69 becomes 069). Players who have practiced code entry in cheap CoD BO6 Bot Lobbies often find this step much easier.
Successfully entering the code unlocks the Tower One Bioweapons Lab.
Step 3: Fill the Alien-Like Cyst with Souls
Inside the Bioweapons Lab, find an alien-like cyst behind a glass box, acting as a "soul box". Lead vermin—small creatures that spawn from zombies—to the cyst. When a vermin is absorbed, a yellow glow appears above the cyst.
After capturing several vermin souls, similarly attract and capture the souls of regular zombies. Once complete, interact with the cyst to pick it up.
Step 4: Charge the Cyst Using Etheric Flowers
Take the cyst to the Quantum Computing Core area in Tower One, where etheric flowers grow. To charge the cyst, stand under three specific flowers one by one. The cyst will automatically pull energy, shown by a timer on-screen. This process does not need to be continuous; players can move around during charging.
Once fully charged by all three flowers, the cyst will evolve in the inventory.
Step 5: Activate the Power Surge in the Forsaken Containment Room
Next, proceed to Tower Two’s Dark Entity Containment Room—the location of the Forsaken. Interact with a computer to start a power surge, then quickly activate the other three computers in the room in sequence, following a clockwise path for speed.
Activating all four computers right triggers a massive electricity surge and spawns the boss Uberclaus.
Step 6: Defeat the Uberclaus and Fuse the Forsaken
Focus on destroying the Uberclaus’s shoulder pads to disable its shield and reduce health quickly. When the boss is weakened, lead it onto the electrified pressure plate in front of the Forsaken containment area. The Forsaken will merge into the Uberclaus, turning it into a possessed high-value target (HVT).
Defeat the HVT in both forms. After the fight, it will drop blood that must be collected by interacting with it.
Finally, fuse the blood with the cyst to spawn the Gorg Effects Wonder Weapon.
Additional Notes on the Gorg Effects Weapon
The Gorg Effects weapon has two firing modes: a single shot and a charged shot, both very powerful. This base version cannot be Pack-a-Punched initially and must be upgraded through additional quests around the map.
There are two different variants of the weapon available, each unlocked by completing separate upgrade quests enabling Pack-a-Punch upgrades.
Unlocking the Wonder Weapon Gorg Effects in Black Ops 6 Zombies DLC 4 Reckoning involves a multi-step puzzle combining exploration, careful observation, and challenging combat. From solving the periodic table code to defeating the Uberclaus-Forsaken boss, each stage is rewarding and ties deeply into the game's lore. With this guide, players can confidently navigate the process and enhance their gameplay experience with this unique and powerful weapon.
