Black Ops 6 Season 5 makes its debut and, while a lot of the content is stretched throughout the season with certain weapons and attachments being tied to specific events later on, its launch window still brings a sizable chunk of content to dive into. Of all the new additions in Season 5, the latest Black Ops 6 Zombies map, Reckoning, is definitely the highlight for many.

The Reckoning delivers a climactic finale to the Black Ops 6 Zombies saga, taking players through a long Easter Egg quest that has a rather confusing outcome depending on the choice they make. Along the way, players can also complete side secrets that can help them gear up in the long run. This includes the map’s free power-ups, which are scattered across different locations. Here is where to find every free power-up on Reckoning.

Black Ops 6: How to Get the Aether Blade in Reckoning

If players are looking for a secret and infinite-use wonder weapon in Reckoning, then they will want to know how to get the Aether Blade.

Max Armor

The free Max Armor Power-Up is located in the spawn area at T1 Project Janus Reception. Upon spawning near the metal detectors, turn around and look out from the entrance to Tower One. You’ll see it sitting on top of a tank. Simply shoot it to bring it to your location.

Double Points

The free Double Points Power-Up can be found in T1 Quantum Computing Core. Look up at the central computer on the side with the teleporter, and you should spot the power-up nestled among the mushrooms at the top. Just like before, shoot it to bring it to your location.

Full Power

To get the free Full Power Power-Up, head to T1 Mutant Research Lab. From the Deadshot Daquiri Perk Machine, turn around, look up, and then to the right. You should spot the Full Power on the yellow-and-black section of the ceiling. Shoot it to spawn it at your feet.

Max Ammo

To get the free Max Ammo Power-Up, head to T2 Android Assembly using the Anti-Grav Personnel Launcher from T1 Mutant Research Lab. If you look right, or left if facing the launcher at T2, you will spot the Max Ammo on what appears to be an electrical box. Shoot it to spawn it at your feet, or throw a C4 on it to save it for later.

Insta-Kill

The free Insta-Kill can be found in T2 Dark Entity Containment. If you head to the zombie spawn just to the right of the Aether Elevator from T2 Android Assembly, you can spot it on top of some radio transmitters to the left. Simply shoot it to use it right away, or throw a C4 on it to save it for later.

Bonus Points

To get the Bonus Points Power-Up, head to the T1 Executive Suite and, just before entering the Director's Office, turn around and look up through the skylight. You will find the Bonus Points at the base of the radio tower, visible from the skylight. If you have trouble spotting it, jump on top of the reception desk in front of the office.

Nuke

To get the free Nuke Power-Up, head to the T2 Sublevel 10 area where Pack-a-Punch is located. Go directly under Vulture Aid and look through the metal door with electrical and toxic equipment behind it. You should spot it easily. Simply shoot it to spawn it at your feet.

Fire Sale

Once you have collected all eight of the previous power-ups, a Fire Sale Power-Up will spawn for players to find. It is located in the zombie spawner to the left of the Quick Revive Perk Machine in the T1 Project Janus Reception, next to some flames toward the back of the spawner. Shoot it to activate it, or throw a C4 on it to save it for later.
