Since the inception of Call of Duty: World at War, Wonder Weapons have remained a quintessential aspect of the Zombies mode, captivating players with their unique capabilities and creative designs. These weapons are not only powerful but have also forged a deep connection with fans over the years. With the anticipation surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, players are particularly excited about the return of one iconic Wonder Weapon.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has proven to be a standout title since its release, particularly in its Zombies mode. The excitement is set to reach new heights with the arrival of Season 2, launched on January 28, which introduces a brand-new map titled “The Tomb.”This fresh Zombies experience plunges players into a partially excavated ancient burial chamber, a setting reminiscent of past fan-favorite maps. The Tomb brings back familiar content, including the return of Mimic enemies and the beloved Death Perception Perk-a-Cola. Most importantly, it reintroduces the Staff of Ice Wonder Weapon from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, raising the question: what about the other three elemental staffs?
Where Have Call of Duty Zombies’ Other 3 Elemental Staffs Gone?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s Origins Introduced Four Elemental Staffs
The map “Origins”in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (and its remastered version in Black Ops 3) introduced players to four distinct Elemental Staffs, quickly becoming favorites after their 2013 debut. To acquire these staffs, players had to explore the intricate trenches filling the map to collect three distinct rod components for each staff, gather unique crystals in “The Crazy Place,”and finally assemble the staffs at the excavation site’s lowest tier, amidst four towering statues.
Each of the Elemental Staffs boasted unique powers. The Lightning Staff could discharge a chain lightning effect against multiple foes, akin to the Wunderwaffe DG-2. The Staff of Fire launched a horizontal spread of fiery projectiles, while the Staff of Wind unleashed powerful bursts akin to the Thundergun. The Staff of Ice came equipped with freezing capabilities, and all four could be upgraded, rendering them among the most potent weapons in the Zombies franchise.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s The Tomb Is Only Bringing Back One Staff
In an exciting announcement, it has been confirmed that the upcoming “The Tomb”map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature the return of only the Staff of Ice from the Origins map. Initial details reveal that the staff retains its core abilities, allowing players to freeze and slow enemies while performing area-of-effect attacks. Notably, players can also use it to revive downed teammates—an ability available upon upgrading the staff in its original form.
While many fans regard the Staff of Ice as the strongest of the four, its sole return in Black Ops 6 is somewhat surprising. Players are hopeful that The Tomb’s Easter eggs will provide some lore explaining the absence of the other elemental staffs. However, it’s plausible that Treyarch opted not to introduce a complete set of elemental Wonder Weapons so soon after the swords featured in Citadelle des Morts.
