Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 leak hints at new weapons and return of Gobblegums

As Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 leaks start to come thick and fast, rumors suggest that the Locus sniper rifle, Saug 9mm SMG, and Gobblegums could all be returning from previous Black Ops series entries.

Call of Duty leaker Soup leaked images of bonuses that players get from pre-ordering the Black Ops 6 vault edition. In the first image, one of the rewards is what appears to be a collection of Gobblegums. And in the second picture, two of the weapons resemble the Saug 9mm from Black Ops 4, and the Locus from Black Ops 3 and 4.

Gobblegums were a controversial feature in Black Ops 3 Zombies that gave players special abilities such as instantly teleporting to a random location or having zombies chase you instead of your teammates. The temporary consumables added an extra layer of strategy to the game mode, as teams could save up money and take a chance at the machine.

Despite providing unique benefits, Gobblegum also drew criticism as the machine was expensive in Black Ops 3, and forced players to spend hours and in-game currency spinning in an effort to get the ability they wanted. This could be an issue in Black Ops 6, if they put the temporary power ups behind a pay wall and make players pull out their wallets if they want to use the fun abilities in Zombies.

The weapon designs resemble the Locus and Saug 9mm, but it’s hard to tell for sure with the zombie-themed camos on them. Modern Warfare 3 has regularly added old weapons back such as the MORS, BAl-27, and Kar98k, so it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see classic Black Ops weapons return in the next title.
