The ever-classic Zombies mode has returned to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and many fans new and old alike are already figuring out which weapons are the best for blasting the living dead. We’ve compiled a list of these meta weapons and why you should use them, whether that be for pushing out high wave counts or just hunting for easter eggs.
Wonder Weapons
- DRI-11 Beam-smasher
- Thrustodyne M23
- Ray Gun
The DRI-11 Beam-smasher is the exclusive Wonder Weapon for the Terminus map, but it remains the most powerful weapon on this list since it can crowd-control an entire horde of zombies. Not only that, its extreme rate of fire, on account of being a beam weapon, makes short work of zombies even at harder waves.
Meanwhile, the Thrustodyne M23, while only available on the Liberty Falls map, is also a great weapon for keeping zombie groups in control. It has the unique functionality of sucking in zombies and spitting them out, along with an alt-fire that unleashes a stunning shockwave.
Lastly, CoD’s iconic Ray Gun. As a part of the random box, the Ray Gun still remains the absolute king of Wonder Weapons with its high damage and explosive rounds.

The Zombie community decides on the best weapons based on the following factors: magazine capacity, damage per shot, and rate of fire.
While all weapons are better when Pack-a-Punched, we are listing down the best weapons in their base forms. Using a Pack-a-Punch machine requires a lot of points and it's sometimes better to save them up for doors, Perk-a-Colas, or map utilities.
Out of all the S-tier weapons, the ASG-89 is by far the most powerful weapon in BO6 Zombies due to the fact that it's a full-auto shotgun. It has the damage per shot of a shotgun, but comes with the magazine size and fire rate of an assault rifle, allowing it to tear through zombies.
