The article provides a detailed guide on locating the Sacred Punch machine in the Liberty Falls map of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode. It explains the importance of the Sacred Punch for upgrading weapons to combat increasingly difficult zombies. The guide outlines the steps required to reach the Hilltop Church, where the machine is found, and includes specific costs for unlocking gates and upgrading weapons within the game.
No Call of Duty Zombies experience is truly complete without the iconic Sacred Punch machine. Essential for advancing through the game’s higher rounds, it can be a tricky find, especially in Black Ops 6 on the Liberty Falls map.
In Black Ops 6, players can explore two new Zombies maps: Terminus and Liberty Falls. Both of these settings are teeming with ferocious zombies, fresh GobbleGums, remarkable weapons, and a wealth of exciting features. However, all of this is moot if your armament isn’t powerful enough to fend off the undead.
This is where the Sacred Punch underscores its importance. For those unfamiliar, the Sacred Punch is a machine dedicated to upgrading your weapon. You pay a specified amount, insert your firearm, and it emerges with a sleek new design and vastly improved firepower. Given its significance, developers sometimes place it in less obvious locations.
Here’s where you can find the Sacred Punch on Liberty Falls in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to enhance your arsenal against zombies while also flaunting a stylish look.
Locating the Sacred Punch on Liberty Falls
The Sacred Punch can be found inside the Hilltop Church, located directly opposite the entrance of the building. It’s situated at the far end of the map with respect to where players initially spawn.
Gaining access to the church requires unlocking several blocked gates and navigating the map, meaning you won’t reach it right at the game’s beginning. Nevertheless, we were able to access it by round six, thanks to the portal costs.
If you’re having trouble pinpointing the location, check the map below, where the red circle indicates the Sacred Punch’s placement, while the blue circle marks your starting area in the game.
Getting to the Hilltop Church
To reach the Hilltop Church, follow these steps. Although they may seem like a roundabout route, you’ll have the chance to access the Mystery Box along the way:
- Start your run on the Liberty Falls map and unlock the gate between the ice cream shop and the Fast-forward store.
- Seek out Olly’s store and navigate around it, unlocking the gate ahead.
- Ascend the stairs and continue forward, climbing two flights shortly thereafter.
- Proceed straight until you spot a manufacturing workbench, then turn left and unlock the door in front of you.
- Find the church’s main entrance and unlock it.
- Go to the rear of the church and place your weapon in the Sacred Punch.
Step 1: Unlock the First Gate
Initially, you’ll be on a rooftop. Look straight ahead to see the church you need to reach. Climb down and head toward the barrier between the ice cream store and Fast-forward store, situated just past the Rest sign and a burning tanker.
This barrier costs 1,500 points, so you will need to dispatch a few zombies first.
Step 2: Unlock the Olly’s Store Barrier
After passing through the first set of gates, head to the right, just beyond the manufacturing workbench. Behind a bus, you will find the Mystery Box, a solid opportunity to grab a weapon to upgrade before heading to the Sacred Punch.
With your weapon ready, circle around Olly’s store and backtrack to the manufacturing workbench. Go through the store and unlock the next gate, which costs 1,750 points.
Step 3: Ascend the Stairs
After moving through the portal, climb up the stairs and continue on. You will encounter two more flights of stairs ahead. Ascend them as well until a manufacturing workbench comes into view, then make a left turn.
You’re heading in the right direction if you walk between a house and a grass-covered brick wall.
Step 4: Unlock the Cemetery Gate
At the end of the path, there is another gate leading to the cemetery. Approach this gate and unlock it for 2,000 points.
While it may seem steep, you should be around wave four or entering it by this point. Clear out any remaining zombies and unlock the gate as an immediate priority.
Step 5: Open the Church
Once the cemetery gate is unlocked, you’ll be close to the church. However, a mystic barrier will still block the entrance.
