The new Reckoning map inBlack Ops 6Zombies has a fresh Wonder Weapon called theGorgofex, and the weapon is directly tied to the main campaign.
Finding the new Wonder Weapon won’t be easy, and it can be considered almost the main reward. Your effort won’t be in vain, but the game doesn’t make it easy. Once you unlock thePack-A-Punchand complete the basic objectives, there’s no clue about what to do next.
Let’s take a look at all the steps you need to complete.

How do you get the Gorgofex in BO6 Zombies Reckoning?
So we begin by spawning on the map, and what you do after that will be crucial.
Your first task is to take the correct elevator and reach the lab. You’ll come across two computer terminals showing random static. The first one is located right beside theDeadshot Daiquiri, while the second one is on the west wall (right by the clones of Richtofen’s child and wife). You’ll find a single word appearing randomly on these screens.
Don’t pay attention to the words. Pay attention to thefirst letters. In my case, the two words began withPandO, which combine to form Polonium. While I knew what Po stands for on the periodic table, you don’t necessarily have to know chemistry.
Instead, you can use the Periodic Table located at the T1 Mutant lab to get your code. Your code is essentially 0, followed by the Periodic Table Code. So in my case, it was 084. 0 is by default, and 84 is the Periodic Table code for Polonium. This opens the door toT1 Bioweapons Lab(you’ll find a couple of stairs in the T1 Mutant Research Lab that lead to this location.
Get the Cyst from the T1 Bioweapons Lab
The next task is to obtain the Cyst located in the metal case on the eastern part of the room. At first, you’ll find that the case is locked. To unlock the Cyst, you’ll need to kill three parasites or vermin next to it. On doing so, you’ll find the Cyst floating above and getting added to your inventory.
Repeat this process three times, and this is mandatory. You’ll soon learn why that’s the case.
Absorb Aesthetic Flora from Quantum Computing Core Room
Our next stop is to reach the T1 Quantum Computing Core Room. Reach there, and you’ll find glowing mushrooms all over the place. You’ll find three Dark Aether Plants that are glowing in the dark, and your job is to drain their health. Remember when I said you’ll need three Cysts? The reason is simple: you’ll have to absorb the health fromthreeAesthetic Flora plants.
The task is relatively simple, but watch out for the acid attacks that can do a lot of damage. In fact, try to spare a couple of zombies before ending the round, and then try the process. This will allow you to absorb the health without having to bother much about being mauled to death.
Start Power Surge in Dark Entity Containment
Our next step is the T2 Dark Entity Containment room, and this step confused me a lot. The task at hand is to initiate a power surge. You can do so using four different computer terminals, all present at this location.
You’ll begin from the northeast side, and keep following the terminals in the north, and then south. verify to find out the four locations first, because the entire test is timed. If the time runs out, you’ll have to start a new round and retry the process.
Additionally, be very careful, as this step will spawn an Uber Klaus, which is essential.
Bring the Uber Klaus in front of the Forsaken
If you have completed the previous step, you must have found theForsaken(that gigantic mechanoid in the glass cage). As I said, initiating the Power Surge triggers the Uber Klaus. First, kill all the minions and undead to single out Klaus. Then, take out his shield generators (on his shoulders) to weaken him. Don’t kill him at this stage.
Instead, lure him out and bring him right in front of the Forsaken. Once you do so, the Forsaken’s soul will go into Uber Klaus to start a new boss fight. This part is mandatory if you want to obtain the Gorgofex.
Defeat Forsaken in Uber Klaus’ body
Once the Forsaken goes inside Uber Klaus, he becomes far more dangerous. Based on what I found, theHand Cannonscorestreak seems to be working well for many, and it was pretty effective for me. You’ll have to target theDark Aethercrystals to bring down its health. Before it dies, Forsaken will summon severalKlausesthat will explode on contact. Get rid of them as quickly as possible before taking down Forsaken. Once done, the Gorgofex will appear from its corpse within a glowing orb.
