Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a first-person shooter released in 2024, developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, and published by Activision. It’s the twenty-first game in the Call of Duty series and the seventh main entry in the Black Ops sub-series, following Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War from 2020. In Black Ops 6 Zombies, the Mangler Cannon is a powerful weapon. There are three reliable ways to acquire the Mangler Cannon. You can dismantle a Mangler’s arm to claim it as a drop; craft it using resources obtained from defeated zombies; or turn into a Mangler to get the Mangler Cannon. In this guide, we’ll describe how to get the Mangler Cannon in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Damage A Mangler’s Arm to get the Mangler Cannon
To get a Mangler Cannon, you first need to take out a Mangler’s arm. Manglers are a special type of zombie returning in Black Ops 6 Zombies, and they start showing up after Round 11 on both Terminus and Liberty Falls maps. To make one drop its cannon, shoot at it while it’s charging up a shot. Keep an eye out for the cannon glowing, that’s when it’s vulnerable and you can deal the most damage. If you deal enough damage to a Mangler’s arm, you’ll sever it, which gives you a chance to get the Mangler Cannon. Once it drops, you can pick it up and use it yourself.
Use Crafting Table to get the Mangler Cannon
The second and more dependable way to get the Mangler Cannon is by using the Crafting Table. You can craft it for 1,250 Salvage, which is a resource dropped by defeated zombies. Just keep in mind that the recipe for the Mangler Cannon won’t unlock until you reach level 20. If you’re low on currency, take out zombies or join the S.A.M. Trials to earn more Salvage.
Turn into a Mangler to get the Mangler Cannon
Manglers can also drop the Mutant Injection ability, which lets you temporarily turn into a Mangler. With the Mutant Injection, you get the cannon as well, and you can charge it up to unleash a powerful blast that clears a path through the zombie hordes.
How to Use The Mangler Cannon in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Once you pick up the Mangler Cannon, it gets stored in your Scorestreak Slot. To use the Mangler Cannon, just press the Scorestreak 1 button or the button for your Last Earned Scorestreak while it’s in your inventory. When you have the Mangler Cannon equipped, you can hold down the Fire button to charge up a shot and release it for heavy damage. It’s great for crowd control, making it easy to take out groups of zombies that are bunched together. Just keep in mind that it only has three shots before it runs out, so you’ll need to find another one after you’ve used them all.
