Liberty Falls — Black Ops 6 Zombies Easter Egg Guide

Buy through from spawn and work up the hill to the Hilltop Church. Pack-a-Punch sits inside and is usable the moment you arrive (5,000 / 15,000 / 30,000 Essence) — there is no power switch to find first. On the right-hand side of the church, interact with the machine’s side panel: every zombie in the map despawns and you get ghost dialogue from Dr. Panos.

Confirmation cue: you must interact a second time. The quest is only live once he says he is “patched into your signal” — one interaction is not enough, and this is the most common false start.

Tip: note the floating L.T.G. component high above the left-side balcony now. You cannot pull it until the Jet Gun is built.

Three parts, any order, then craft at the bench. Only one player needs to carry the Jet Gun for the suction steps. Once the build is unlocked it can also turn up from GobbleGums or the Mystery Box.

The build room: head to the Motor Lodge at spawn and run the second-floor walkway. A horde bursts out of a motel-room door, revealing the secret room with the bench.

Careful: that room is a one-way dead end. Clear whatever is chasing you before you go in, or you will be crafting with a train on your back and nowhere to rotate.

• Water Pressure Gauge — take the water valve from outside the flower shop on Washington Avenue / Hill Street, then in Liberty Lanes melee or shoot open the wall breaker panel, insert the valve and hold interact to drive the pressure to 100%. Zombies spawn endlessly while you hold it and progress only banks briefly, so expect several cycles solo: hold, train the horde away, run back, resume. The zombies despawn and the gauge pops out of the wall when it is done
• Handbrake — kill the Groundskeeper in the Cemetery, a unique marked zombie in a red shirt and dungarees whose spawn timing is random. He drops a golden tool shed key; use it on the shed in the Groundskeeper’s Yard off Hill Street
• Electrical Wires — you need a Mangler cannon (craft for 1,250 salvage, or shoot the arm-cannon off a Mangler from round 10 onward; a Mutant Injection blast also works). Charge-shot the gated door of the Radio House on Riverside, opposite Olly’s Comics, then hold interact on the trash piles — the wires are in one of four, and vermin jump out of them

Use the Jet Gun’s suction to vacuum three L.T.G. (Limited Transdimensional Gateway) parts, in any order. If a part will not shift, release to cool the gun, back off a step and sweep the exact ceiling, window or ledge until it pulls free.

Confirmation cue: “that’s enough parts for the L.T.G.” Then take the zip line from the cemetery / church roof across to the Alamo bank rooftop and craft at the back-left workbench.

• Hilltop Church balcony — the floating part sits on the left side above the machine; interact with the machine once more first before you try to pull it
• Washington Avenue, by Speed Cola — get on the rooftop, jump across to the white van, then aim into the open window beneath the zip wire and suck the part out
• Olly’s Comics — above the middle counter, in the ceiling at the centre of the room

There are two aether storms and two field traps, and you may do them in either order. The sequence below is identical for both captures.

1. Stage the canister first. Take an aether canister from the church dark-aether device and drop it onto the field trap before you start anything else. Carrying a canister forces you to walk, so doing this first saves a punishing trek later.
2. Place the L.T.G. under the mini lightning storm and survive a 60-second defence. Zombies that touch the portal drain its integrity; if it empties, the step fails and you retry next round.
3. An HVT elite spawns when the timer ends — a super-Mangler at one storm, an Abomination at the other.
4. Weaken it — do not kill it. The cue you are waiting for is purple smoke coming off it.
5. Lure it onto the trap, activate the trap, and kill it while it is stunned. Its soul is drawn into the canister.
6. Return the canister to the church dark-aether machine within 1:30 — walking pace, so clear the route before you trigger it.

After the first capture only: the machine’s side compartment opens. Take the Strauss Counter — it replaces your tactical.

Hold the tactical button to read the Counter’s colour — green, yellow or red. The signal strengthens as you close on a projector, so read it at point-blank range.

Co-op: every player carries their own Counter and takes one projector each.

Confirmation cue: a voice line plus purple beams from all three projectors converging on a canister at spawn. It charges up — carry it (walking) toward the church for the second capture, grabbing your L.T.G. on the way.

Needs confirming: whether individual projectors can be independently inverted on top of the rule above, and the third projector’s location — an earlier version of this guide named it the Yummy Freeze rooftop rather than the White House backyard.

• Hilltop stairs — on the grass below the church
• Behind the White House backyard — MrDalekJD’s route is bank roof, open the debris, then drop down
• Groundskeeper’s Yard, above Washington Avenue — MrRoflWaffles’ route is the right-side roof, zip to the bank rooftop, then the ledge

Exactly the same sequence as step 4, at the other storm and the other trap: stage the charged canister on the trap, place the L.T.G., hold the 60-second defence, weaken the HVT until it smokes purple, trap and kill it, then walk the canister back to the church inside 1:30.

Tip: the two storms appear to have fixed HVT types — a super-Mangler at one and an Abomination at the other — so whichever you skipped first is the one you are fighting now. Bring the ammo for it.

Retry rule: a failed defence, or an HVT killed off the trap, is not fatal. Re-run it on a later round; do not leave the match.

Prep before you touch the machine: every perk you want, Pack-a-Punch II or better, armour tier 2–3, rarity upgraded, the Jet Gun in hand, Mutant Injections and score streaks crafted, and your gums ready. Activating the machine locks you inside the dark-aether church. In co-op all players must accept the vote. There is no time limit — survival beats rushing.

Wave 1: normal zombies plus a lot of Manglers. A full armour drop lands when it clears.

Wave 2: faster hordes plus an elite Mangler. Train the room clockwise or anticlockwise and focus the elite; you can Pack-a-Punch mid-fight with the points you earn here. Max Ammo on completion.

Wave 3: zombies, vermin, and an elite Mangler and elite Abomination together — the elite count scales with player count. This is where the Mutant Injections go; solo players should have saved them for exactly this.
