Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies – Shattered Veil Main Quest Guide

The wait is finally over—Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies has received its fifth map, Shattered Veil. While there’s plenty of exciting content and new features to explore, the main quest is likely the first thing players will want to complete. To help you tackle it, we’ve put together a detailed breakdown of how to complete the Shattered Veil main quest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Shattered Veil Main Quest Guide – Unlock Ray Gun Mark 2 & All Upgrades

The Shattered Veil Easter egg is surprisingly straightforward—half of it revolves around unlocking a Wonder Weapon, while the rest focuses on completing three rituals. Your first step is unlocking the Pack-a-Punch machine by following the orange objective markers. Before doing this, explore the mansion and open as many doors as possible so you’re not wasting Essence during critical moments later.

Once Pack-a-Punch is active, your next task is unlocking and upgrading the Ray Gun Mark 2, which is essential for the quest. We’ve already covered how to unlock the Ray Gun Mk2, and once you have it, you’ll need to upgrade it to its W, P, and R variants. Check out our full guide on how to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark 2.

Shattered Veil Main Quest – Completing the Ray Gun Rituals

The next step is to complete three rituals, each linked to one of the Ray Gun variants. This forms the second half of the main quest. While it involves a bit of running around, it's fairly straightforward if you know where to go—so let’s break each one down below.

Ray Gun Mk 2-R Ritual

• Return to the Library and interact with the computer.
• Kill zombies using the Ray Gun Mk 2-R until a portal opens to the Liminal Library.
• Speak to ghost Colton, who gives you clues for four hidden parts.
• Use Aether Shroud to retrieve them, then return to the normal Library.
• Interact with the three glowing books on the shelf in the correct order.
• When correct, a secret door opens—grab the Nuclear Plant Inspection Report.
• Head back to the Liminal Library and place the report on the podium to trigger a boss fight.
• Defeat the elite using the Ray Gun Mk 2-R to break its shield.

Ray Gun Mk 2-P Ritual

• Go to the Banquet Hall and interact with the computer.
• Kill zombies with the Ray Gun Mk 2-P within a time limit to open a portal to the Liminal Banquet Hall.
• Collect the Ritual Elixir from the table.
• Find three cups at these locations:
  • Bottlery
  • Garden Pond bench
  • Overlook bench
• Each cup spawns an Elder Disciple—defeat them all.
• Return to the Liminal Banquet Hall; three numbers appear on the wall.
• Use this code to open a safe in West Hallways and grab the Antler Carving.
• Place it on the podium to start a second elite fight.
• Use the Ray Gun Mk 2-P to break the boss’s shield and defeat it.

Ray Gun Mk 2-W Ritual

• First, grab a Sconce from a box at the Banquet Hall entrance.
• Go to the Grand Foyer, and place it opposite the existing sconce near Jugger-nog.
• Copy the flashing light pattern three times to unlock a hidden door to the Distillery.
• Interact with the computer and use the Ray Gun Mk 2-W to kill enemies.
• Enter the Liminal Distillery via the portal.
• A ghost asks you to find the Nightcap Flask.
• Equip Brain Rot on a regular weapon in the Arsenal.
• Grab the Bell in the Study and place it on the Overlook counter.
• Brain Rot a zombie, ring the bell, and the zombie will vault over and drink the flask.
• Pick up the Nightcap Flask, return to the Liminal Distillery, and place it on the podium.
• Defeat the boss using the Ray Gun Mk 2-W to break its shield.
• This fully charges the Sentinel Artifact, prepping you for the final fight.

Final Boss – Z-Rex Fight

The final step unfolds outside the mansion after placing the Sentinel Artifact in the Mainframe Chamber, triggering a cutscene and launching the final boss fight against the Z-Rex. While the towering dinosaur may seem intimidating, its glowing green weak points—the eyes, mouth, and ribcage—make it much easier to take down.

How to Win:

• Target weak points to deal maximum damage, but any direct hit still helps.
• Z-Rex has four phases, gradually becoming more aggressive.
• Watch out for acid sprays, charges, and aerial jumps.
• Keep moving, slide to dodge, and use cover wisely.

Tips:

• Triple Pack-a-Punched weapons are essential.
• Use Ray Gun variants for weak spots.
• Wunderwaffe DG-2 from the Mystery Box is great for crowd control.
• Bring powerful Scorestreaks like Chopper Gunner and Mutant Injections to stay ahead.

As long as you stay sharp and come prepared with the right weapons, upgrades, and perks, you should have no trouble taking down the Z-Rex and completing the Shattered Veil Easter Egg main quest.
