The upcoming Season 5 of Black Ops 6 promises to deliver an abundance of content, especially after the relatively sparse offerings seen during Season 4 Reloaded. In this new season, players engaged in Multiplayer can make their way through the Battle Pass to access two additional weapons, partake in new game modes such as Snipers Only and Aim High, and explore a variety of maps, including a revamped version of W.M.D.

Nonetheless, the standout feature of Season 5 is undoubtedly Reckoning, the final Zombies map available before the anticipated launch of Black Ops 7. This map is rich with various enemy types, an engaging environment, and an array of Easter Eggs that rival those found in earlier maps. Below is a comprehensive guide to all Easter Eggs you can complete in Reckoning within Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Reckoning Main Quest

At the forefront of Reckoning’s offerings is its main Easter Egg Quest. Engaging in this quest presents players with an array of brain-teasing tasks, code decryption, and high-value target eliminations, culminating in a pivotal decision: assist S.A.M. in her quest for humanity or follow Richtofen’s scheme to eliminate S.A.M. and reunite with his family. The choice made will influence the boss confrontation along with the ending of the quest.

While the path to the Main Quest may not be the most challenging in comparison to other maps, the boss encounters themselves are quite formidable. For a detailed walkthrough on completing the Main Quest in Reckoning, you can refer to our guide here.

Obtaining the Gorgofex

Players have the option to acquire the Wonder Weapon via the Mystery Box, but there’s also a side quest available to obtain the Gorgofex. This involves decoding a sequence to unlock the T1 Bioweapons Lab, collecting zombie souls into a cyst, taking it to the T1 Quantum Computing Core for further charging, and ultimately defeating Uber Klaus to gain the weapon.

This process is quite intricate. For a more exhaustive explanation on how to secure the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon, you can check out our specialized guide here.

Enhancing the Gorgofex

While having the Gorgofex is essential for specific phases of the main Easter Egg quest, upgrading it remains optional yet offers some notable enhancements. Upgrading the Gorgofex serves as a choice-driven side quest, and players’ decisions will dictate whether they receive either the Gorgofex C or the Gorgofex N.

For an in-depth understanding of obtaining each upgrade, please refer to our guide here.

Free Power-Ups

Next up are the free Power-Ups found within Reckoning, which are completely separate from the main quest. In this innovative map, there are seven free Power-Ups to discover, and collecting all of them will trigger the appearance of an eighth Fire Sale Power-Up.

These Power-Ups prove invaluable, as players can activate them immediately by shooting or choose to attach a C4 to detonate at their convenience. For a detailed guide on locating each Power-Up, click here.

One particularly exciting Easter Egg involves the Pack-a-Punch Machine. Start by activating the power, then return to the T1 Project Janus Reception spawn area. At the center, players can locate a Project Janus logo on the ground, with a corresponding monitor on a desk nearby. Standing on the logo and firing at the monitor will initiate a shooting challenge.

In this minigame, players must hit a series of targets scattered throughout the room while remaining on the logo. It’s a timed challenge, with a clock on the desk indicating the time left. Successfully hitting all targets yields rewards, which can be repeated each round with increasing difficulty to earn up to three rewards. The possible rewards include:

• First completion: Random Ammo Mod
• Second completion: Aether Tool
  • Uncommon for Rounds 1-5
  • Rare for Rounds 6-10
  • Epic for Rounds 11-20
  • Legendary for Rounds 21 and above
• Third completion: Pack-a-Punch Aetherium Crystal
  • Tier I for Rounds 1-15
  • Tier II for Rounds 16 and above

Easter Egg Songs

Another exciting feature is the unique Easter Egg song in Reckoning, activated by locating and interacting with three Mr. Peeks Headphones dispersed around the map. Interacting with all three will trigger the playing of «Remember Us» by Kevin Sherwood featuring Elena Siegman. For guidance on each headset’s locations, refer to our detailed guide here.

Additionally, players can activate another song called «Samantha’s Peace» by navigating through the metal detectors at the T1 Janus Reception in a specific order: 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2. Refer to the accompanying image for assistance in matching the metal detectors to their respective numbers.

Mister Peeks Easter Egg (Free Perk)

The return of Mister Peeks comes with an Easter Egg that offers players a complimentary Perk upon completion. To start, go to the T1 Executive Suite and look down from the balcony. Locate Mr. Peeks near the bottom center of the tower, then shoot him to bring him up to the balcony. After interacting with him, he’ll head to the T1 Janus Reception, generating a trail of hoops. Jump down and glide through each hoop to earn 1,000 Essence and a free Random Perk Power-Up.

Pool Ball Easter Egg (Free Self-Revive Kit)

If you’re in need of a Self-Revive Kit but lack enough Salvage, visit the T1 Director’s Office and look for a stacked set of pool balls mounted on the wall. Shoot the balls in the order: 1, 1, 5. Once all three balls fall, you will receive a free Self-Revive Kit on the pool table in front.

Free Deadshot Daiquiri Easter Egg

This Easter Egg grants players a free Deadshot Daiquiri Perk. Start by heading to the T1 Mutant Test Research Area near the Ammo Depot close to the T1 Bioweapons Lab. Here, shoot the head of the target dummy near the broken wall or from the T1 Mutant Research Lab corner target dummy until a cue sound is heard.

Then, look away from the T1 Lab towards the crane. You’ll spot four Deadshot Daiquiri Perk Cans. Shoot all cans in succession without missing to receive a Deadshot Daiquiri Perk.

Aetherella Easter Egg

Aetherella, a key character in Liberty Falls, can be joined as an ally in Reckoning through a quick side Easter Egg. Once completed, Aetherella will accompany the player, shooting lasers at zombies. To unlock this Easter Egg, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the Gorgofex.
2. Utilize a Spray on the cubicle door in the zombie spawn by the Rampage Inducer at the T1 Project Janus Reception.
3. Fire a charged Gorgofex shot at the revealed Aetherella figurine.
4. Go to T2 Sublevel 10 and jump into the particle accelerator’s beam to launch Aetherella.
5. Exit then re-enter the beam to collide with Aetherella, completing the Easter Egg.

Chicken Bucket Easter Egg

This Easter Egg may not yield any significant reward, but it presents a fun task for players. To engage in the Chicken Bucket Easter Egg, go to the T1 Executive Suite and hurl a grenade at the chicken bucket in the cafeteria. Afterward, gather six chicken pieces scattered around the room. When all pieces are collected, return to the chicken bucket and interact with it; it will then be placed on your head.

Golden Trash Can Easter Egg

This Easter Egg allows players to gather high-tier loot with minimal effort. To get started, players need to locate and interact with various trash cans, as some will drop loot while others won’t. The trash cans can be found in these areas:

• Adjacent to the Aether Elevator leading to the T1 Quantum Computing Core in the T1 Project Janus Reception
• Near the Quick Revive Perk Machine
• Next to the teleporter near Quick Revive
• Left of the zombie spawn where Aetherella is located
• Right of the Jugger-Nog Perk Machine
• Near the Anti-Grav Personnel Launcher leading to the T1 Executive Suite
• By the door where Blanchard is found
• To the left of the Ammo Depot in the T1 Executive Suite
• Next to the SVD Wall-Buy in the T1 Executive Suite
• Left of the portal leading to the T1 Project Janus Reception within the Director’s Office

After locating all trash cans, players should return to the T1 Project Janus Reception and find a final trash can glowing gold, which rewards loot when interacted with.

Jumpscare Easter Egg

This fun Easter Egg is quick to complete and serves as a perfect way to surprise friends. To trigger it, go to the T1 Executive Suite and look towards the distance, spotting a picnic blanket. Aim at the blanket, preferably using a Sniper Scope, to activate the jumpscare.

Vending Machine Easter Egg

This Easter Egg is a nod to Liberty Falls. If players venture to the T2 Android Assembly, they will find a vending machine opposite the Franken-Klaus buildable. By meleeing the vending machine each round, players can receive various loot items including Salvage, Essence, and potentially a free Perk or Aetherium Crystals. Using Melee Macchiato to destroy the vending machine will yield even more loot.

Aether Blade Easter Egg

Finally, the last Easter Egg involves acquiring the Aether Blade, which requires players to have unlocked the Mister Peeks Field Upgrade from the ’90s Action Heroes Event. To successfully obtain it, players need to find three paintings scattered across the map and bring them to the Arsenal room in the T1 Director’s Office.

Here, place each painting in its respective spot. Then, gain a Safe Key by detonating an RC-XD in the T2 Dark Entity Containment and shooting the crystals on The Forsaken’s containment cell. Subsequently, retrieve the paintings by the portal to Pack-a-Punch and activate the Mister Peeks Field Upgrade to unveil a safe, which can be opened using the key obtained earlier to acquire the Aether Blade.
