The Beamsmasher is a powerful Wonder Weapon available on the Terminus Zombies map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Constructing this energy-based weapon requires players to find specific parts scattered around the map and assemble them at the designated build station. The Beamsmasher’s high damage and crowd control capabilities make it one of the most sought-after tools for high-round survival.
This guide explains the full process, including where to find each part, how to assemble the weapon, and tips to make the build easier.
What Is the Beamsmasher?
The Beamsmasher is a unique energy weapon that fires a concentrated beam capable of dealing heavy damage to zombies. Its effectiveness increases with upgrades, making it extremely valuable during later rounds on Terminus. Unlike standard firearms, the Beamsmasher requires multiple components that must be assembled before it becomes usable.
Beamsmasher Parts You Need
To build the Beamsmasher, you must collect three parts:
- Emitter Coil
- Power Rod
- Core Matrix
Each part has a specific spawn area on Terminus. Once all three are collected, they must be brought to the Beamsmasher build station to complete the assembly.
Part 1: Emitter Coil
The Emitter Coil is the first component needed to begin the Beamsmasher build.
- Check around industrial and machinery areas on Terminus
- Look for glowing parts that stand out from the environment
- The Emitter Coil is often found near power conduits or generator rooms
Once located, pick up the Emitter Coil — the game will automatically add it to your inventory.
Part 2: Power Rod
The Power Rod is the second piece required.
- This part is commonly located in electrical chambers or near energy conduits
- It may appear on elevated walkways or inside maintenance tunnels
- Approach and interact with the Power Rod to collect it
Carry it with you while searching for the remaining parts.
Part 3: Core Matrix
The final part is the Core Matrix.
- This component has a higher spawn variance
- Search around mechanical sections and lab environments on the map
- The Core Matrix may be placed next to other high-tech devices
Once collected, you will have all three Beamsmasher parts.
How to Assemble the Beamsmasher
With all three parts in hand:
- Make your way to the Beamsmasher build station located near the weapons area on Terminus.
- Approach the build station and interact to begin assembly.
- The parts will automatically combine, and the Beamsmasher will be created.
Once built, the Beamsmasher will appear in your inventory and can be selected like other weapons.
Tips for Finding Parts
- Keep moving — some parts spawn in common areas, but timing can be random.
- Use essence to clear zombies near potential part locations to search safely.
- Team play speeds up finding parts — split up if possible to cover more ground.
- Watch for glowing or high-contrast objects that stand out from the environment.
Using the Beamsmasher Effectively
- The Beamsmasher is strongest when aimed directly at large groups of zombies.
- Hold down the fire button to maintain a sustained beam for consistent damage.
- Combine with Pack-a-Punch upgrades for maximum effect.
Final Notes
Building the Beamsmasher on Terminus gives players a significant edge in combat through its powerful energy attacks. Knowing where parts tend to appear and prioritizing their collection early in your run will make surviving higher rounds much easier.
