There are a lot of tips and tricks to learn just on the multiplayer side of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 but nothing can compare to how many secrets are tucked away in the Zombies mode. While there are only two maps at launch, they are both packed with Easter eggs to discover. If you've explored Liberty Falls then you've no doubt come across the statue of the supervillain known as Aetherella in the comic book shop, but did you know you can actually play as her? It's just as fun as it sounds, and will earn you a Trophy, but is not easy to do without some help.

How to play as Aetherella in Black Ops 6

Playing as a supervillain, complete with superpowers, isn't an easy task in Black Ops 6. There are several steps involved so we suggest bringing a team along to make things easier.

Step 1: Craft the Jet Gun.

This is an entire quest in itself that requires you to explore multiple locations and collect all the parts to build. See our guide here if you need a full breakdown on how to craft the Jet Gun.

Step 2: With the Jet Gun you will need to find and suck up nine Aetherella figures hidden around the map.

Step 3: The first four are all located inside Olly's Comics.

Step 4: The first is on the windowsill by the front door.

Step 5: The second is farther down the same wall up on a shelf.

Step 6: No. 3 is on a shelf near the back doors.

Step 7: And the last one in the comic store is on a shelf right next to the big Aetherella statue.

Step 8: Outside the motel, look above the big red sign for this figure.

Step 9: Head up on the roof on the building across from the flower shop and look over the road onto the windowsill.

Step 10: From the last figure, zipline across the rooftops to the other side and destroy the marked debris to drop down to the lower roof. The figure is on the next roof tucked between the air conditioning units.

Step 11: Jump on the roof of the bus outside the bowling ally and suck this figure off the ledge.

Step 12: Face the front of the church and look on the upper-right windows for the final figure.

Once you collect the final figure you will automatically be turned into Aetherella. While in this form you will slide around the map in third-person, are completely invincible, and can shoot lasers from your eyes. But you only have 1 minute, 30 seconds in this form before turning back to normal so make the most of it.

How to Pack-A-Punch in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Liberty Falls and Terminus locations

Black Ops 6.

Ask any Call of Duty veteran for some tips and tricks for the Zombies mode and they will tell you that the Pack-A-Punch machine is paramount. That remains true to this day in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 which ramps up the difficulty with new zombies, maps, and challenges.

As the rounds go on, the undead will only get harder and harder to put down until your basic weapons will run dry before making a dent in the oncoming hordes. Only by upgrading them with the Pack-A-Punch can you keep up with the difficulty, but you need to track the machine down on each map first. Liberty Falls and Terminus have one upgrade station each that always appears in the same spot, but they're not easy to reach. Here's where and how to find each Pack-A-Punch machine in Black Ops 6.

Black Ops 6 multiplayer.

It's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch day, which means potentially millions of players are hopping into the new single-player campaign, the updated multiplayer mode, and Zombies. While posts online about the performance of the game seem to be minimal, there have been reported issues on PC, specifically via Steam.

It's been a common story lately about players being mad at third-party launchers on Steam, and that remains the case for Black Ops 6. Call of Duty's is called Call of Duty HQ (COD HQ), and it's a hub for players to manage their game installs, whether they want to only download certain game modes or launch a specific game. It seems as if players can only switch between modes through the launcher and have to go through multiple menus to boot the game up. In the worst cases, they can't launch the game at all.
