The Necrofluid Gauntlet has emerged as a standout feature in «Ashes of the Damned,» the inaugural Zombies map in the anticipated «Black Ops 7.» This innovative weapon isn’t just visually striking; its capabilities provide significant advantages, making it an asset for players aiming to tackle the relentless rounds of Zombies while also diving into the intricacies of the Easter egg quest. For those eager to acquire this formidable Wonder Weapon without any cost, here’s a detailed guide outlining the steps you need to follow.
The journey begins with activating the Power Pumps located at three key sites: Vandorn Farm, Blackwater Lake, and Ashwood. To initiate this process, players must first access the Server Room within Janus Towers Plaza, where they can retrieve T.E.D.D.’s Head by breaking a grate. Once equipped with Ol’ Tessie, a versatile vehicle, head either west to Blackwater Lake or east to Vandorn Farm. Each location features a Power Pump, which requires players to eliminate the infected orange bulbs and activate the Power Switch found in respective cabins and barns. Completing this task at Ashwood not only powers the area but also allows for an upgrade to Ol’ Tessie through the Pack-a-Punch.
Next, players should remain in Ashwood and make their way to the Market Square, where the Ashwood Sheriff’s Office awaits. After collecting the necessary Essence to unlock the door, players will find Klaus, a vital character whose rescue is paramount. However, summoning him comes with a challenge–a formidable foe known as Uber Klaus. Prepare your best gear and engage this Elite Enemy, as defeating him yields a Stabilizer Chip that facilitates Klaus’s liberation. With the chip secured, head back to the Sheriff’s Office and use Stun Grenades to update Klaus’s system. After a brief period, he will awaken as your ally, ready to assist in the battles ahead.
The adventure continues as players escort Klaus to Zarya Cosmodrome, located to the southeast of Ashwood. Inside the Support Systems room, engage with the terminal by commanding Klaus to interact with it. This leads to a timed Scan Progress challenge, where players must stand within a designated area and gaze at the scanner while repelling a relentless wave of zombies. Utilizing strategic items such as Cymbal Monkeys and fast-firing weapons will be crucial to navigate this chaotic step successfully.
Once completed, the Aether Barrel unlocks, initiating the next phase of the quest. Have Ol’ Tessie ready for this new task, picking up the barrel and delivering it to the filling stations at Ashwood, Blackwater Lake, and Vandorn Farm, in that order. After the energy extraction process finishes, players must transport the Aether Barrel to the Kortifex Box located in the Cellar of Vandorn Farm’s Barn.
With the Aether Barrel secured within the Cellar Box, it is time to return to Janus Towers Plaza. By activating the Jump Pad, players can bypass back to Vandorn Farm, where they will encounter three distinct red symbols in midair. Document these symbols as they are necessary for customizing the box in the Cellar. Align the symbols correctly and interact with the eye on the box’s back to reveal the coveted Necrofluid Gauntlet.
In the final step, with the Necrofluid Gauntlet in your possession, players will notice a dramatic shift: a glow surrounds the box, and purple-eyed zombies emerge. Scattered green orbs will materialize in the area, which require the use of the Gauntlet to destroy. By shooting the orbs and retracting your shots properly, any player can effectively eliminate them to complete this Wonder Weapon quest.
Upon successfully obtaining the Necrofluid Gauntlet, players will find that its capabilities extend beyond just annihilating zombies. It offers three distinct attack types: Spike Shot, Spike Recall, and Claw Attack, each serving different strategic purposes. With the ability to heal by recalling shots, the Gauntlet becomes a game-changer in the heat of battle, allowing players to maintain their health while dismantling the undead hordes.
As players gear up for their Zombie-slaying quest in «Black Ops 7,» mastering the use of the Necrofluid Gauntlet may just be the key to survival and domination in this thrilling new installment.
