Aether Blade is in new Black Ops 6 Zombies map but you can’t get it yet
Black Ops 6’s sixth and final Zombies map,Reckoning, features a side Easter egg that unlocks the legendary Aether Blade, but you’re able to’t even do it just yet.
Every Zombies map comes with a newmain story Easter eggandWonder Weaponto discover, and the Reckoning is no different. It also brings plenty of other secrets for players to uncover, some of which offer items that can make or break a run.
It turns out that one of these side objectives unlocks the coveted Aether Blade, which was last seen in Modern Warfare 3 (2023). This throwable Lethal can instantly kill multiple zombies at once, making it incredibly useful for surviving until the higher rounds.
However, the Field Upgrade you need to complete the Easter egg and get hold of it isn’t in the game at the time of writing.
Aether Blade unavailable in BO6 Zombies without Mister Peeks
As shown by MrDalekJD, who was able to complete the objective early thanks to an unlock tool, the Aether Blade EE requires the new Mister Peeks Field Upgrade, which hasn’t yet been released in Black Ops 6.
Instead, this is one of the rewards for the upcoming90s Action Heroes event, which is expected to go live on August 21. So, for now at least, this valuable item is unavailable to most players, as they’re unable to complete one of the steps, where Mister Peeks knocks down a painting to reveal a safe.
On the bright side, thanks to MrDalekJD, we do know exactly what you need to do once the Field Upgrade arrives.

Once you’ve done all this, the Aether Blade is yours. Throwing it instantly kills multiple enemies, and it automatically reappears in your inventory every five seconds, allowing you to use it over and over.
However, it’s worth noting that it has caught a significant nerf compared to the last time we saw it, as it can now only kill three zombies per throw instead of five.
