Black Ops 6 Zombies — Reckoning Main Story Easter Egg Guide

The Reckoning Easter Egg in Black Ops 6 Zombies has officially gone live — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most intricate in recent memory. Compared to past quests like The Tomb or Shattered Veil, this one packs layered objectives, roaming NPC events, and multi-stage puzzles across the map.

If you’re ready to continue the story that began on Terminus, here’s a full step-by-step breakdown of everything confirmed so far. (This guide will be updated as the community discovers more.)

🔹 Step 1 — Activate the Pack-a-Punch

1. Clear the area around Project Janus HQOpen as many doors as possible early so you’re not scrambling later.
2. Unlock the elevator in the Executive Office and head down to Sublevel 10.
3. Power the Particle Accelerator system.
4. Locate and destroy all 12 Aetherium shards in the vicinity.
5. Once all shards are destroyed, Pack-a-Punch will appear.

🔹 Step 2 — Acquire the Gorgofex

Quick path to Gorgofex:

1. Go to the Mutant Research Lab and check both static monitors. Note the capital letters in the displayed words — they hint at a chemical element.
2. Using the periodic table, find the 3-digit atomic number. If it’s only two digits, add a zero at the front.
3. Enter this code into the keypad in the Mutant Research Test Area to unlock the Bioweapons Lab.
4. Inside, find a cyst and fill it with Vermin kills.
5. Bring the filled cyst to the Quantum Computing Core and charge it with yellow spores.
6. Deliver the charged cyst to Dark Entity Containment and start a power surge.
7. Activate all four surge panels to summon Uber Klaus.
8. Destroy Uber Klaus’ shoulder pads, lure him to the panel, wait for the Forsaken transfer, then finish him off.
9. Claim the Gorgofex.

🔹 Step 3 — Begin the Main Story

1. In the T1 Mutant Research Lab, interact with the centrifuge to collect a Syringe.
2. Go to T2 Sublevel 10, where a floating zombie is trapped in the Particle Accelerator beam.
3. Jump into the beam to knock it free, then interact to obtain Blood.
4. Return to the centrifuge and insert the Syringe.
5. Defeat the spawned Fowler Mangler to earn a Mutant Injection.
6. Scan it near Dark Entity Containment to unlock access to the next lab area.

(This is the current known progress point — more steps will be added once the full sequence is cracked.)

🧩 Side Puzzle — Franken Klaus

1. Collect body parts from Kommando Klaus units by shooting off each arm.
2. Gather both legs in T2 Android Assembly — possible spawn points:Behind a door
3. On a shelf
4. In a scrap pile
5. Behind a shattered mirror
6. On the floor
7. Attach all four limbs to the hanging Klaus in T2 Android Assembly.
8. Lure Uber Klaus to the area and bait its electric attack to power up Franken Klaus.
9. Franken Klaus will:Hack the T2 Teleportation Lab computer
10. Activate a S.A.M. Trial machine
11. Return to the Teleportation Lab
12. Head to the T1 Quantum Computing Core, break the metal container using Melee Macchiato, and carry the purple brain to the machine beside Franken Klaus. (You’ll be defenseless while carrying it — move carefully.)

🗂 Side Puzzle — Folder Locations (Maxis Items)

There are six possible Maxis-related items across the map, but only four spawn per match:

• Katana — T1 Executive Suite (desk)
• Wristwatch — T1 Executive Suite (table)
• Combat Goggles — T1 Director’s Office (near lamp)
• BND Badge — T2 Teleportation Lab (desk) or T1 Executive Suite (coffee table)
• Notso’s Collar — T2 Teleportation Lab (desk) or T1 Director’s Office (coffee table)
• Scarf — T1 Director’s Office (desk)

How to solve:

• Each item has a number that changes each game.
• Sort the items by folder date in reverse chronological order (latest → earliest).
• Combine their numbers to create a 4-digit code.
• Enter it into the PC in T2 Teleportation Lab.
