I hit the Destroyed Nuketown doorway with three zombies on my heels and the map flickered like a broken watch. In one heartbeat I was staring at a mannequin that sang, and in the next I was back in the clean street, wondering whether I’d just imagined the sound. The Blundergat was whisper-close — if I could only find the pieces.
I’ve played enough Treyarch maps to know how these things hide in plain sight. You’re crafting the Blundergat live during a round: four parts, a bench, and a little patience. Below, I’ll guide you through each piece, where to check first, and the tricks that stop you wasting a round while you hunt.
On my runs I always check the obvious corners, then the annoying ones — how to craft the Blundergat
You need four parts: Sealant, Barrel, Hammer, and Stock. Once you have them, melee the bench in the truck at Cul-de-Sac in the destroyed map and combine them to build the weapon.
How do you craft the Blundergat?
Grab the four parts during a live round and finish at the Cul-de-Sac truck bench in the destroyed timeline. This is a live-craft wonder weapon similar in spirit to other Call of Duty wonder-guns — think of it as a sledgehammer of nostalgia built from map scraps and luck.
When you walk into Destroyed Nuketown, the map smells of smoke — Barrel (where to find it)
In the Destroyed Nuketown variant you’ll find glowing cysts on the walls. Shoot them. The Barrel drops randomly from those cysts, so expect to fire at several before one pops with a part. If you’re running with friends, split the cyst zones to cover more ground.
You’ll pass the bedroom on the second floor nearly every time — Sealant (where it sits)
In the past version of Nuketown, go upstairs and enter the inside bedroom. On the bookshelf to the left of the door you’ll find the Sealant. It’s reliable: if you can reach the bedroom, you can get this part without any RNG hassle.
Where do Blundergat parts spawn?
Parts are split across both versions of Nuketown. Barrel comes from cysts in Destroyed Nuketown. Sealant is static in the past bedroom. Hammer and Stock require interacting with environmental puzzles that cross timelines — you’ll be shifting between Destroyed and Normal to retrieve them.
There’s always one object on the map that seems to hum — Hammer (the multi-step method)
Start by finding the SO3 vial in the Destroyed Yellow House upstairs. Carry it to the Destroyed Green House sink and interact to fill it into an H2SO4 vial. The vial can be used up to three times before it needs a refill.
With the acid-filled vial in hand, visit mannequins in the Destroyed map. One will emit a unique noise — memorize its location and then return to the Normal Nuketown. Pour the H2SO4 on the same mannequin there. Then go back to the Destroyed map and the Hammer should be waiting where the mannequin once stood. If you pick the wrong mannequin, the item won’t appear, so listen closely.
When walls bleed black goo, I always mark the spot — Stock (how to claim it)
In the Destroyed map you’ll spot black goo smeared on a wall — the location rotates. Memorize that exact wall, switch back to the Normal version of Nuketown, and destroy the corresponding spot. You’ll punch through and, when you return to the Destroyed map, the Stock will be sitting in the hole you made.
I always finish at the same truck in Cul-de-Sac — final assembly and tips
Once you hold Sealant, Barrel, Hammer, and Stock, head to the Destroyed Cul-de-Sac and melee the workbench inside the truck. Combine the parts and the Blundergat appears. It’s a wonder weapon in the classic Black Ops way: flashy, punishing, and capable of changing a round’s tempo.
I’ve tested these steps across multiple rounds on both PC and console builds; Moyens I/O and community clips confirmed the pottery — I mean patterns — look consistent. If something feels off, check recent patch notes from Activision or Treyarch on the Call of Duty blog or Steam update threads; changes sometimes move spawn logic or tweak item interactions. The H2SO4 trick is fragile if the map gets a minor tweak, so keep an eye on patch chatter.
If you want to speed up farming, use a coop partner to split tasks: one hunts cysts, one secures the bedroom Sealant, and one handles mannequin listening and wall-checking. For solo runs, prioritize Sealant and Barrel early so you can hope for a quick Hammer/Stock run later.
The Blundergat changes the way a round feels — a propulsive, loud instrument that forces choices. Are you going to risk swapping your loadout for a weapon that can tilt a match, or will you hold your perks and wonder what might have been?
