To get the Wonder Weapon in COD Black Ops 6’s Terminus map, you’ll need to work through a hidden storyline with puzzles and hidden rooms. There’s no obvious objective list to guide you, making this map tricky to navigate. Let’s break down how to solve the computer puzzle without spending credits, all while surviving the zombies.

Step 1: Powering Up and Prepping
Before you get to the puzzle, your goal is to get the Wonder Weapon—a staple of COD’s zombie modes. To start, enable the power by following instructions from the NPCs. Once the power’s on, head over to the Arsenal and grab the Dead Wire ammo mod. It costs 500 Salvage but will be essential later.
With Dead Wire equipped, go to the lift inside the water bay. You’ll need another 500 credits to activate it. Now, ride up, and look for three junction boxes. Shoot each one with Dead Wire to power up a room that’ll give you access to the next steps.
Step 2: The Door to the Puzzle Room
Once the lift is activated and the boxes are shot, go into the room with the Jug machine. You’ll spot a shiny electrical box—shoot it. A door opens, leading you straight to the computer puzzle room. But don’t rush! There are a few steps to complete before tackling the puzzle.
Step 3: Collecting Puzzle Components
To power up the computer, you need two components: an FOB dropped by a zombie nearby and a multiphasic resonator. After collecting both, activate the main computer. You’ll need to find three more computers labeled X, Y, and Z around the map. Once located, activate each one to display unique symbols for X, Y, and Z. These are essential to cracking the code.
Step 4: Solving the Puzzle Without Spending Credits
At this point, if you don’t want to shell out 5,000 credits, let’s solve the puzzle manually. Start by going back to the puzzle computer in the room. You’ll see symbols associated with X, Y, and Z. Nearby, a whiteboard displays a grid with numbers (0, 1, 2) in both rows and columns, while another whiteboard shows basic equations.
The equations vary each playthrough, so follow this general approach:
- Match the symbol for X with its grid location to identify the value of X.
- Repeat for Y and Z, identifying values based on their symbol’s position in the grid.
- Solve the equations using these values. The solution will provide a code for the computer.
For example:
- First Equation: 2×X+11=?
- Second Equation: 2×Z+Y−5=?
- Third Equation: ∣Y+Z−X∣=? (Absolute value means if negative, make it positive).
Each equation gives a digit for the computer code. Once solved, input the code to progress.
Wrapping It Up
After you enter the code, flip the wave and return to the computer to collect an item needed for the quest. If you prefer to skip the math, visit Doctor Pec near the level’s start to buy the solution for 5,000 credits.
Moving Forward in the Quest
Next, head toward an island marked on your map. After placing magic orbs into larger orbs, return to craft the Wonder Weapon. With the weapon in hand, you’re ready to tackle what Terminus has in store.
Tip: Zombies don’t attack in the puzzle room, so take your time. Write down symbols and numbers if needed to keep track.
