Guide: Shattered Veil Main Quest – Full Easter Egg Walkthrough (BO6 Zombies)

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Shattered Veil is one of the most intricate and rewarding maps introduced in Season 3, and the Easter Egg quest is nothing short of an undead masterpiece. From crafting powerful Ray Gun variants to facing off against the ferocious Z-Rex, this quest offers intense action, layered puzzles, and exclusive rewards like the Carver skin and a rare calling card.

In this complete walkthrough, we’ll guide you through every step of the Shattered Veil Easter Egg, including detailed instructions on upgrades, boss strategies, and how to complete all Ray Gun rituals. Whether you’re a veteran slayer or diving in solo, this guide has you covered.

Recommended Loadout for Shattered Veil

Before jumping into the madness, prep your loadout for success. Use Aether Shroud as your Field Upgrade for exploration and puzzle segments. Bring a Combat Axe (you’ll find a second one behind spawn), and go in with a powerful AR—Krig C is a top-tier option.

Also, stay alert for gray salvage boxes. One of them will contain a required quest item later. Shoot every box you come across to avoid delays in progressing.

Step 1: Unlock Pack-a-Punch

The first main quest task is unlocking Pack-a-Punch, and it’s relatively simple thanks to on-screen quest markers. Collect the two indicated parts, repair the elevator, and ride it down to meet Samantha. Follow the arrows to the PaP machine and activate it. Now the real fun begins.

Step 2: How to Get the Ray Gun Mark 2 (Crafting Method)

While RNG from Gobblegums might reward you with the Ray Gun Mark 2, crafting it is a much more reliable method.

1. Reach Round 10, then head to Samantha’s lower chamber.

2. Kill the purple-eyed Lab Technician zombie.

3. Pick up the Floppy Disk and insert it into the East Foyer computer.

4. Clear the vermin spawn and wait for the Project Janus report to print.

5. Convert the four-letter word (e.g., “YETI”) using the chalkboard cipher to form a 4-digit code.

6. Input the code into the containment terminal near Pack-a-Punch to summon a Doppelghast.

7. Kill the Doppelghast, take the Severed Arm, and scan it at the Armory to unlock your Ray Gun Mark 2.

Step 3: Collect the Three Empty Canisters

Each canister is required to craft an elemental Ray Gun variant.

Canister 1:

Shoot four Dark Aether crystals scattered around the map (locations include near Pack-a-Punch, PhD Flopper, Stamin-Up area, and Quick Revive). One will drop a canister.

Canister 2:

Find a guaranteed Gersh Grenade near the Service Tunnel, then:

• Go to the Double Tap area.

• Look outside the window for a canister.

• Toss the grenade to retrieve it.

Canister 3:

Activate gas valves using Combat Tomahawks to direct gas to a glowing chamber in Samantha’s room.

• Ignite the gas using a Molotov (grab one free near the dinosaur room).

• The chamber explodes, revealing the third canister.

Step 4: Ray Gun Elemental Upgrades

Each upgrade requires placing a canister into a unique receptacle and completing a challenge.

Blue Explosive Ray Gun

• Place the canister near Speed Cola.

• Use the Abomination’s electric attack to shock and destroy three rocks.

• Clear the vermin wave at the ritual pool and craft the Blue Ray Gun underground.

Yellow Toxic Ray Gun

• Grow and harvest four toxic plant seeds from large, screaming plants using Molotovs or explosives.

• Defend the plants while they mature in the Conservatory.

• Collect the toxic canister, and craft the upgrade at the spawn workbench.

Purple Shotgun Ray Gun

• Find the Essence Bomb from gray boxes.

• Collect two Reflectors from lion statues near PhD and Quick Revive.

• Use them in the underground reflector puzzle.

• Defeat three Doppelghasts after solving the beam puzzle.

• Craft the shotgun version at the Director’s Quarters.

Step 5: Complete All Ray Gun Rituals

Each Ray Gun variant must complete a unique ritual to acquire its Sentinel Artifact.

Purple Ray Gun Ritual

• Start soul collection by interacting with a painting near Double Tap.

• Kill zombies using the Purple Ray Gun.

• Find and pour ritual elixir into three chalices (spawn, bridge, dinosaur room).

• Use the safe code from the elevator wall to unlock the safe near Death Perception.

• Defeat the ritual mini-boss using the Purple Ray Gun to earn your artifact.

Blue Ray Gun Ritual

• With Blue Ray Gun, retrieve a Lantern near Double Tap and place it by the Z-Rex chamber.

• Play the Simon Says mini-game.

• Use the Turned ammo mod, then:

  • Ring the bell near the dinosaur bar.

  • Wait for a Turned zombie to interact and explode.

• Collect the flask and defeat the mini-boss underground using the Blue Ray Gun.

Yellow Ray Gun Ritual

• Interact with a painting in the library to start the ritual.

• Use Aether Shroud to reveal three hidden items:

  • Audio Log, Ledger, Nuclear ID Card

• Place them in the glowing book wall and solve the combination puzzle.

• Defeat the Amalgam mini-boss using the Yellow Ray Gun to earn your final artifact.
