How to get a free ray gun and benefits
To make this Easter Egg and get your Ray Gun and its free perks, you first need to build the Pack-A-Punch Machine. Follow the waypoints until you turn on the device. Then use both terminals to summon the anomaly, then interact with the anomaly to enter the dark aether. Once you are transported to the Dark Aether, follow the waypoint that says "Aether Tunnel". Spend the 500 points to enter the Ethereal Tunnel and pick up the machine part on the other side. Next, head back to the Particle Accelerator where you powered up the device and build the Pack-A-Punch Machine. This will take you back to the real world so you can complete the next Easter Egg stage.
After building the Pack-A-Punch machine and returning to the real world, you will need to shoot five blue orbs hidden nearby. These are hidden out of Bounds in places you wouldn't normally explore, but they're easy to spot once you know where to look. Watch the video below from Call of Duty creator NoahJ456 for the exact location of the orbs.
After shooting the five blue orbs, you will be returned to the Dark Aether. You will be surrounded by zombies, but you will not be able to shoot them and they will not try to harm you. Instead, they'll throw a dance party as four zombies slowly carry a crate on their shoulders, recreating the coffin dance meme that became very popular earlier this year. After watching the zombies dance, you will be returned to the real world and the crate will be on the ground in front of you.
Inside you'll find a ton of low-grade scrap and high-grade scrap, though that's not the most exciting thing in the box. A miracle weapon will always be inside the crate. It's almost always a Ray Gun, but sometimes you'll get the DIE Machine or other weapon. The box will also offer a free perk, and that's usually Juggernog. It's an incredibly powerful Easter Egg that gives you ridiculous gear at the start of a match, so you should incorporate it into your Zombies strategy if you want better results.
