Weapon Details

In the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Black Ops IV, one of the standout weapons is the Blundergat. This unique weapon can be found on the Mob of the Dead and Blood of the Dead maps. Its design is reminiscent of a Civil War-era firearm and has a break-action reload system. The Blundergat fires a line of pellets horizontally and uses regular bullets rather than any special rounds. Its distinct characteristics provide a different gameplay experience, challenging players in a new way.

Base Stats

• Damage: 1,500 per shot
• Magazine Size: 1 round
• Max Ammo: 60 in reserve, plus 1 in the chamber
• Fire Mode: Single-shot

Obtaining the Blundergat

Players have two primary methods to get the Blundergat. The first is trying their luck with the Mystery Box on the map, which offers a chance to obtain the weapon randomly in exchange for points. Alternatively, players can pick up a free Blundergat by finding and retrieving five hidden blue skulls using the Hell’s Retriever. Once all the skulls are collected, the weapon will be available for pickup on the Warden’s Office desk.

Upgrades

The Sweeper

Through the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the Blundergat can be enhanced to create The Sweeper. This upgrade allows for increased ammo capacity and faster reload speeds, improving the weapon’s functionality.

Acid Gat

On the Mob of the Dead map, players have the option to transform the Blundergat into an Acid Gat. This is done by assembling the Acid Gat Kit, providing a new way to make the weapon even more effective in combat.

Magmagat (Blood of the Dead Exclusive)

The Blood of the Dead map takes the Blundergat one step further with the addition of the Magmagat. To create this version, players must first get a Blundergat or an Acid Gat. Next, it is placed in the fireplace at the Warden’s House, which initiates a charging process requiring the collection of zombie souls. Afterward, the Tempered Blundergat is created, which must remain alight as it is transported to New Industries, where the Magmagat is finally formed.

Magmagat Stats

• Magazine Size: 1 round (2 when Pack-a-Punched)
• Max Ammo: 30 in reserve (50 when Pack-a-Punched)
• Special Effect: Fires molten blobs that both attract and also damage zombies over time

Strategies

To maximize the efficiency of the Blundergat and its variants, players should consider deploying certain strategies. Utilizing perks such as Double Tap Root Beer, Speed Cola, Electric Cherry, and Juggernog can significantly enhance performance. Furthermore, the weapon is particularly adept at managing crowds in tight spaces. When using the Magmagat, strategically positioning the lava blobs can create effective choke points and kill zones, enhancing control over the flow and movement of zombie hordes.

The Blundergat, in all its forms, is a powerful tool in the arsenal of those who enjoy the Zombies mode. Its versatility and the unique gameplay mechanics it introduces add a rich layer of strategy and excitement to the game. Players who master its use find themselves well-equipped to handle even the most intense zombie encounters.
