Blundergat

For similarly named weapon, see Blunderbuss.

"Four-barreled shotgun. Devastating at close ranges."

— Blackout description

The Blundergat is a Wonder Weapon found in the Zombies map Mob of the Dead in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, as well as its reimagined map, Blood of the Dead, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It is based on civil war-era weaponry, consisting of ideas from the both the Blunderbuss and Gatling gun.

Overview[]

Without upgrades, the Blundergat acts like a single-shot break-action shotgun, with a one-round magazine and 60 in reserve. Unlike a typical shotgun, the pellets spread out in a completely horizontal line, allowing the players to kill multiple enemies in front of them with a single shot. The Blundergat reloads after every shot, though the reload is relatively short. In later rounds, the Blundergat is capable of creating crawlers by firing at their legs.

The Blundergat has a large amount of synergy with multiple Perks, more so than other Wonder Weapons do thanks to it's unique design features. While the benefits of Speed Cola are obvious due to it's frequency for reloading, it can also be effectively paired with Electric Cherry as it creates the most powerful burst on every shot the player takes. Because it uses actual ballistic ammunition the Blundergat is the only Wonder Weapon that benefits from the damage increase granted by Double tap 2.0. The Blundergats pellet spread is also halved by Deadshot Daiquiri, increasing it's effective range and direct stopping power, although this does come at the cost of being able to hit less targets, especially at close range. In Blood of the Dead most of these perks have been removed, but the Blundergat still has synergy with Electric Burst and Deadshot Dealer in the same ways, and benefits from other perks the same way as all other weapons.

When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, it becomes The Sweeper, with a two-round magazine and 120 in reserve. The Sweeper is very powerful, being able to kill zombies with one hit until Round 40 if one has Double Tap and aims for the head.

Acquisition[]

In addition to Mystery Box, the Blundergat can be obtained in both games after collecting five hidden blue skulls around the map by throwing the Hell's Retriever at them. These skulls can only be seen in Afterlife or through the Spectral Shield's spectral vision, although their locations always stay the same each game. After collecting the skulls, the Blundergat will appear on the Warden's Desk in his office.

Mob of the Dead[]

Two can be found at the docks: the first being on a lamppost opposite and to the left of Juggernog on a hill, and the other being on a pillar (third from the left) near the possible Mystery Box spawn.

One can be found on the roof, near the far-left corner (when coming to the roof), sitting on an unreachable corner of the roof.

One can be found in a jail cell with a toilet and a skull next to the library near the starting room.

One can be found near the Warden's Office, in an electric pylon outside the barrier next to Speed Cola (it is recommended to not repair the barrier as the planks can make throwing the Hell's Retriever at the correct spot difficult).

Blundergat vs The Sweeper[]

	Blundergat	The Sweeper

Damage	1500	5000
Fire mode	Single-Shot	Semi-Automatic
Magazine size	1	2
Max ammo	60+1	120+2
Mobility	High	High
Extras		Becomes semi-automatic with an increased magazine capacity, more ammo.

Acid Gat[]

When upgraded with the Acid Gat Kit, it becomes the Acid Gat. It has a three-round magazine and fires in bursts of three rounds. The projectiles stick to walls and other objects (including zombies), and will explode soon after. When shot, the projectiles will typically spread in a very wide angle instead of going where the player aims. These rounds are also capable of hurting the player, although the explosion is somewhat minor and should not considerably damage the player unless already severely hurt. When a zombie is hit by a projectile, they will stand in place until it explodes.

When the Acid Gat is Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the Vitriolic Withering, with increased damage, twice as many projectiles per shot, and the projectiles attract zombies similarly to the upgraded Crossbow and Monkey Bomb. The Vitriolic Withering starts to make crawlers at around rounds 20 to 23.

Due to the self-inflicted damage, Juggernog is useful to minimize the chance of downing oneself or do enough damage for a single attack to down the player. As with the regular Blundergat, Speed Cola helps with the constant and long reloads, and Electric Cherry also helps to protect the player during these reloads.

Acquisition[]

In both games, the Acid Gat is acquired by building the Acid Gat Kit at a wrokbench and placing a standard Blundergat within it.

Mob of the Dead[]

In Mob of the Dead, the locations of the Acid Gat Kit are randomized every time the player starts a new game.

The Motor can be found somewhere on the floor in the Warden's Office.
- The first location is near the Uzi leaning up against the wall.
- The next possible location will be to the left of the mystery box in the Warden's Office
- The last possible location will be to the left of the fireplace in the Warden's Office.

The Case: It can be found in the cell block.
- The first location is on top of a desk just outside the spawn by a jail cell.
- The next possible location will be near the Afterlife box near the cafeteria.
- The last possible location will be under the stairs in the hallway to the Warden's Office leading up to the B23R.

The Acid Bottle: It can be found in the infirmary.
- The first location is on top of a wooden table near a bloody bathtub.
- The next possible location will be on the floor in the corner of the room with two bathtubs full of blood.
- The last possible location will be on top of a trolley in the hallway of doors.

Blood of the Dead[]

In Blood of the Dead, the Acid Gat Kit pieces have set spawns. However, two of them require that the player have the Warden's Key, obtained by killing Brutus for the first time.

The Motor is in Sally Port, on a desk inside a small room. (requires Warden's Key)

The Acid Bottle is located in the Infirmary, in a locked cabinet near the room that leads to the roof. (requires Warden's Key)

The Case is found in the Transverse Tunnel, on the floor next to the Vapr-XKG wall chalk.

Acid Gat vs Vitriolic Withering[]

	Acid Gat	Vitriolic Withering

Damage	1500-500	7500-1500
Fire mode	3-round burst	3-round burst
Magazine size	3	3
Max ammo	90+3	150+3
Mobility	Medium	High
Extras		More ammo, attracts zombies more often.

Magmagat[]

In Blood of the Dead, a new upgraded version of the Blundergat titled the Magmagat makes its debut. This version shoots a blob of molten lava that can stick to surfaces and attract zombies, killing them shortly after making contact with the blob. When the Magmagat is upgraded in the Pack-a-Punch Machine, it becomes the Magmus Operandi. This gives the weapon an additional shot in the barrel, as well as increase the damage caused by the blob, which can instantly kill Brutus should he walk over it.

Acquisition[]

In order to obtain the Magmagat, the player must acquire a Blundergat from either the Mystery Box or the free Blundergat easter egg. Unlike the Acidgat, the Magmagat is acquired by following a short series of steps.

The player must travel to the Warden's House and place the Blundergat or Acidgat in the fireplace. This will cause the player to be locked within the room
The player then must get kills and collect the souls they leave behind. After getting a certain amount of souls, the three skulls above the fireplace will all be lit with blue fire.
The player can now deposit the souls collected during the previous step, creating a "Tempered Blundergat". This Blundergat is visually on fire, and shoots more powerful lava rounds.
The player must now head to the New Industries whilst the Blundergat is on fire. The fire will slowly dim and go out, but can be replenished by walking up to barrels of blue fire placed along the route. Firing the weapon will hasten the blue fire dying out.
- If the Tempered Blundergat extinguishes, it will become a regular Blundergat again but the step can be retried by putting it back in the Wardens fireplace.
Upon reaching the New Industries, the player can place the Tempered Blundergat into a compressing machine in the middle of the room, across from the Mystery Box spawn, causing two ghosts to use the machine to create the Magmagat. The Magmagat will then be returned to the player, ready to use.

Once the player does this for the first time, any other player in the game can upgrade their Blundergat into a Magmagat by simply placing it in the machine in the New Industries.

During the upgrade quest. If the weapon was not picked up from the Warden's House or New Industries, it will eventually disappear and all progress made will be lost.
