Free Ultra Gobblegum Rewards & How To Unlock In Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 3 Reloaded
Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded launches on May 1st, bringing the exciting new 'Zombie Snacks' Limited Time Mode to Zombies. This unique LTM introduces an energy system that rewards strategic gameplay with powerful bonuses. We've gathered all the details on how this mode works and the valuable Ultra Gobblegum rewards you can earn through gameplay.
Zombie Snacks LTM: Core Mechanics
The 'Zombie Snacks' LTM introduces a fresh twist to the Zombies formula by replacing the traditional health system with an energy meter. Your goal is to maintain high energy levels while avoiding damage to enter a powerful "Flow State." This mode is available on all Zombies maps in Black Ops 6 (Terminus, Liberty Falls, Citadelle, The Tomb, and Shattered Veil) and can be played in both Standard and Directed Mode.
Understanding The Energy Meter
In Zombie Snacks, your operator's health bar is replaced with an energy meter that functions differently depending on which mode you're playing:
- Standard Mode: Energy depletes when taking damage OR performing movement actions (mantling, sliding, jumping, diving)
- Directed Mode: More forgiving gameplay where energy only depletes when taking damage
Unlike health regeneration in the standard game, your energy meter will not recharge passively – you'll need to find consumable resources throughout the map to keep it topped up.
Replenishing Your Energy
To keep your energy levels high, you'll need to collect food items that can be found randomly throughout maps or dropped by defeated zombies. Elite enemies, Specials, and HVTs are guaranteed to drop three food items upon defeat, making them high-value targets.
Here's how different items replenish your energy bar:
- Snacks: +50 Energy Points
- Gobblegums: +50 Energy Points
- Perks: +150 Energy Points
- Juggernog Perk: Fully replenishes energy
- Light Mend Ammo Mod Glyphs: +5 Energy Points per glyph (10 with Extra Strength augment)
- Stimshots: +50 Energy Points
Keep an eye out for the new "Refrigerator Power-up" that temporarily causes all zombies to drop snack items, creating a feeding frenzy opportunity to max out your energy level.
The Flow State: Unleashing Your Power
The ultimate goal in Zombie Snacks is to enter the coveted "Flow State." To achieve this, you need to eliminate 10 zombies without taking any damage. Once in Flow State, your operator will gain:
- Significantly increased damage output
- Enhanced movement speed
- Improved weapon handling
Be warned: taking any damage will immediately knock you out of Flow State, forcing you to start the process over again. Veterans recommend cranking up your music volume while playing to enhance the rhythmic flow of gameplay!
Zombie Snacks Rewards: Free Ultra Gobblegums
Similar to previous limited-time modes like Cowabunga Cranked and Team Cranked, the main Easter Egg quests are enabled in Zombie Snacks. Completing these Easter Eggs while the LTM is active will reward you with exclusive Gobblegum packs and bonus XP.
Reward Structure
The rewards vary based on difficulty mode:
- Standard Mode Completion: Pack of 6 Gobblegums (1 random high-rarity + 5 assorted rarities)
- Directed Mode Completion: Pack of 4 Gobblegums (1 random high-rarity + 3 assorted rarities)
- Bonus: 15,000 XP per map completion
It's important to note that these rewards are only granted on your first completion of each map's Easter Egg in each mode while the LTM is active. For example, if you complete Citadelle's Easter Egg in Standard mode and earn your Gobblegum pack, you can still earn a separate reward by completing it again in Directed mode, but not by repeating Standard mode.
Our Recommendations
Zombie Snacks introduces a compelling risk-reward dynamic that changes how you'll approach familiar maps. To maximize your success in this LTM, we recommend:
- Prioritize Juggernog as your first perk purchase for a full energy refill
- Consider using the Light Mend ammo mod for consistent energy regeneration
- Practice Easter Egg steps beforehand to streamline completion during the LTM
- When in Standard mode, minimize unnecessary movement to conserve energy
- Target Elite enemies for guaranteed food drops
For players looking to maximize rewards, completing all five maps in both Standard and Directed modes would yield a total of 10 Gobblegum packs containing 50 Gobblegums, including 10 guaranteed high-rarity ones – making this LTM one of the most generous opportunities to stock up on these valuable consumables.
