Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies: How to Craft the Liberty Falls Wonder Weapon
How to complete the Thrustodyne M23 Easter egg in Liberty Falls!
Liberty Falls, the abandoned riverfront town overrun with zombies, is one of two launch maps for the game, and (of course) has its own main quest Easter egg to solve (not to be confused with theTerminus map’s main quest). We have everything you need to know to complete the Easter egg solo, or with friends.
Obtain the Wonder Weapon
Before beginning the main quest, you’ll need to find or craft the map’swonder weapon: the Thrustodyne M23. you’re able to win the weapon in a random mystery box spin, or (more reliably) craft it at the motel. For a full walkthrough on how to craft the Thrustodyne M23, check out our guide here:
Investigate the Church
The first thing you’ll need to do is open up the church at the highest point of the map. Inside the church, there will be ageneratoron the wall that you must interact with to trigger the main quest (and some dialog).
Find the LTG Components
With the Thrustodyne M23 in your possession, head to the roof of theAlamoand interact with theworkbench. You’ll now need to go to three locations containing parts of the LTG, and retrieve them using theThrustodyne’s suction mode(pressing the “Shoot” button).
Part #1: Olly’s Comics
The first component of the LGT is in theceiling of the comic book store. Aim the Thrustodyne at the ceiling and begin sucking in the item (it may take a second to appear once you start firing).
Part #2: Washington Ave.
The second part is found bystanding on top of the white semi-truckon Washington Ave. (by jumping from the rooftop by the zipline), and then using the Thrustodyne on thewindow of the brown building(above Buzz’s Cuts).
Part #3: The Church
The third part can be foundin the churchby using the Thrustodyne on the object floating near theNPC on the second floor.
Craft the LTG
Return to the roof of the Alamo andcraft the LTGat the workbench, then interact with it to place it in your inventory.
Complete the First Aether Extraction
You will now need to retrieve thecanisteritem from the generator in the church, andplace it near the Dark Aether Generator trapsdown the hill from the church. Once you’ve done this, go to the church cemetery and find the purple Aether cloud.
Protect the Aether Cloud
Interact with thecircle directly beneath the cloudto install the LTG, and then interact with it again to turn it on. A portal will open up above the LTG and a countdown timer will start. You must nowdefend the portalfrom being touched by zombies for the duration of the timer (if the portal’s health reaches zero, you’ll have to wait until the next round to start over again).
Defeat the Mini-Boss Near the Trap and Canister
Once you’ve successfully defended the portal, amini-boss(either an enhanced Mangler or an enhanced Abomination) will spawn from the portal. You will need tolead the mini-boss to the traps and canisteryou placed earlier, as well as get its health low enough that itglows purpleand cuesdialoginstructing you to kill it near the canister.
It is crucial that you kill it while it’scaught in the activated trapandnext to the canisteryou dropped on the ground. If you do it correctly, you will see a purple line shoot out from the monster and into the canister as it dies.Grab the canisterquickly andreturn it to the generator in the churchasfastas you can (a countdown timer will start as soon as it’s filled). When this is done, you’ll need to interact with the LTG in the cemetery again to add it back to your inventory.
Find the Second Aether Canister
The second canister can only be unlocked by correctlycalibrating the three Aether devicesaround the map. You will also need to grab theStrauss Counterfrom thedrawer in the generatorthat opens, using it near each of the devices to see what color you need to calibrate them to.
There are three colors to choose from:green, yellowandred. Depending on the counter’s reading in each section, you’ll need to change each device’s colors (by interacting) to the following colors:
Device #1: Church Steps (on the Grass Hill)
The first device will be on thegrass hill near the stone staircasesthat lead from the bowling alley to the church.
Device #2: Groundskeepers Yard
The second device will be found down the alley from the toolshed in theGroundskeepers Yard, sitting in the grass patch near a bench.
Device #3: Ice Cream Shop Rooftop
The third device can be found on theroof of the Ice Cream Shop, which is accessible by removing the wooden plank obstacle on theroof of the Alamoand hopping down.
You’ll know if you’ve inputted the right colors when the devices allturn on their ownand point towards the canister near spawn.
Complete the Second Aether Extraction
Head back to the gas station at spawn and retrieve the second Aether canister from the device in the street. You are now going torepeat the same stepsas the previous Aether extraction, but this time using the traps and cloud near the motel and gas station. This means:
It is crucial that after completing these steps and delivering the canister, youonly interact with the generator onceto drop it off. Pressing the interact button asecond timeon the generator will activate thefinale of the Easter egg, so you need to be sure you are prepared before entering.
Complete the Final Battle at the Church
When you are ready (purchase all your perks and Pack-a-Punches before this), interact with the generator in the church one more time. You will now belocked inside the churchand forced to survivethree wavesof zombies, with the second and third waves each spawning in one of theenhanced mini-bosses(Mangler or Abomination) from earlier. Be sure to take note of theammo boxto the right of the generator, as well as keep an eye out forammoandarmordrops from zombies you kill.
When the final wave is completed, you will be forced into a downed position, and a cutscene will start to play soon after. This will mark the successful completion of the main quest for Liberty Falls! You’ll be given the option of finishing here or returning to the map to continue surviving, but either way, you’ll receive some special rewards (including aspecial skin for the Ray Gun) upon completion.
