How to unlock Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies
While there are two different ways that you can try and unlock the Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies, unfortunately, a lot of it will be based on pure luck. All three options for unlocking this weapon involve the component of luck, and if it strikes in your favor, you'll get your hands on this item in one go.
That said, let us explore how the different methods through which you can get the Ray Gun in Black Ops 6 Zombies:
Mystery Boxes
The most common and easiest way to get access to a Ray Gun is through Mystery Boxes in Black Ops 6. You can opt for these Mystery Boxes in both Liberty Falls and Terminus Island. Once you gain access to one of these boxes, proceed to spend 950 Essence to try your luck.
If lady luck smiles on you, you will unlock the Ray Gun in one go. However, if it does not pan out, you can try spending 950 Essence for one more attempt. You can also keep trying your luck with this method until you run out of Essence.
To make this process more effective, you can also try out Gobblegums in Black Ops 6. The Immolation Liquidation offers players an instantaenous Fire Sale, during which, the cost of opening Mystery Boxes drops as low as 10 Essence. Pair it further with the Respin Cycle Gobblegum to guarantee a chance at getting your hands on a Wonder Weapon in the game. If your stars align, you will luckily unlock a Ray Gun in your next spin.

Loot Keys
As you kill Elite Zombies across Terminus Island and Liberty Falls, there's a small chance that they will drop Loot Keys upon their death. Locate the Armories and Vaults scattered across both maps and use these keys to gain access to them.
Open up the safety deposit boxes within these rooms to uncover your reward. You might get lucky and unlock the Ray Gun in this process. However, there's also a chance for other loot to spawn as well. So, we cannot guarantee that the Ray Gun Wonder Weapon will be your final reward.
