If you’re exploring the Shattered Veil map, you’ll notice a few Blue Rocks scattered around the area. But, unlike many objects, you can’t get rid of them with a regular gun. We’re here to show you how to find and destroy Blue Rocks in BO6 Zombies Shattered Veil.
How to find Blue Crystals in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil
At the time of writing, Blue Crystals can appear in four potential areas. Only one will spawn each playthrough, and they seem to change spots every time. Here are four known locations where the Blue Rocks can spawn in Shattered Veil:
- Roof of the South West Balcony (near PhD Flopper)
- East Foyer (near Stamin-Up)
- Conservatory (near Quick-Revive)
- Service Tunnel (near the locked Doppelghast)
The Blue Crystal will be easy to notice due to its large size and bright glow. For my playthrough, it spawned on the roof of South West Balcony, but it may appear elsewhere for you. Just check around any of the areas above, and it’ll eventually show up.

To destroy the Blue Rocks in Shattered Veil, you must acquire the Ray Gun Mark 2. You can get this Wonder Weapon instantly through the Mystery Box. However, if you want a more guaranteed way, you’ll have to find the Floppy Disk and Severed Arm. For more information about these two objects, check out our guide on how to get the Ray Gun Mark 2.
Once you’ve obtained this Wonder Weapon, shoot the Blue Crystal to get an Empty Cannister. This item sets you on the path to the Ray Gun Mark 2-W variant, turning this weapon into a submachine build.

How to use Empty Cannister in BO6 Zombies Shattered Veil
You can use the Empty Canister on a device at Shem’s Henge. It’ll be right across from the Speed Cola machine.

Interact with the device to place the Empty Canister down, spawning an Abomination nearby. Don’t kill the Abomination; you will need it to help you unlock the next phase. Use the Abomination’s beam attack to hit three small stones.

They’ll glow and float up if they’re charged enough, triggering a lockdown sequence with Vermin. You must protect the energy station at the center for a limited time. Those who complete this trial will fill up the canister, allowing you to make the Ray Gun Mark 2-W at the workbench.
