Black Ops 6 Fans Express Concern Over the Return of Store-Bought GobbleGums

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 approaches. The reintroduction of the GobbleGum system in Zombies mode has been a hot topic among us gamers, and the recent revelation that they will be purchasable once again has sparked quite the debate.


As we near the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it’s no surprise that Activision and Treyarch are making some final tweaks. One notable adjustment is related to the Zombies mode, where they’re bringing back the GobbleGum system and making it purchasable again.

Let’s delve into the specifics behind Treyarch’s plan to sell GobbleGums once more before the release of Black Ops 6, understanding why some fans harbor valid apprehensions regarding this development.

Fans Raise Concerns About Balance in the GobbleGum System for Black Ops 6 Zombies

In the latest blog post on Zombies Intel, it’s explained that players can get their hands on GobbleGums through multiple methods: either by playing Zombies and surviving rounds, or by purchasing them from the store. However, this system has sparked discussions among fans about its balance and fairness.

Acquiring specific uncommon GobbleGums could tip the scales between failure and victory during gameplay. While players can gather GobbleGums through play, those who buy them might gain a slight edge over others.

Having spent countless hours immersed in the gaming world, I’ve witnessed firsthand how passionate gamers can be when it comes to their favorite titles. The recent news shared by CharlieIntel sparked a whirlwind of conversations on social media, and as someone who’s been part of these communities for years, I can attest that the frustration voiced by fans is nothing new. When CharlieIntel broke the latest update, the comments section on their post was flooded with thoughts and opinions from players eager to share their feelings. This level of engagement and dedication is one of the aspects I admire about the gaming community, even if it can sometimes lead to heated debates.

A player humorously expressed eagerness for the upcoming $20 skin pack featuring Woods in a camouflage suit resembling weed, along with a Galaxy gas AK, all for the sake of obtaining Perkaholic. Another commented, ‘The game hasn’t even launched yet and it seems like it will be pay-to-win.’

Some spectators raised doubts about Treyarch’s strategy, with one individual inquiring, “That doesn’t sound great. ‘Earn by playing’ sounds simple enough, but what specifically does that mean? How difficult will they be to obtain, and how scarce will the most valuable GobbleGums become?” Another commentator noted, “At least they seem to be generous with giving them out for free, but we won’t know for sure until the game is released.

These concerns are valid. Even if you can earn GobbleGums in-game, the drop rates might not match up to players who can buy them, potentially giving paying players an edge. Perhaps Treyarch will address this by limiting the type or rarity of purchasable GobbleGums, but there’s no confirmation yet on how the system will work in the store.

Currently, we’re in the dark about exactly how GobbleGums will operate within Black Ops 6 Zombies. Fingers crossed that it won’t become a “pay-to-win” scenario. Rest assured, as soon as fresh details emerge, we’ll make sure to share them with you promptly.
