How to Get a Free Ray Gun Mk2 Fast in Ashes of the Damned (BO7 Zombies)

Overview

Getting a Ray Gun Mk2 for free on Ashes of the Damned is not pure luck — it’s a mix of knowing the right mechanics and timing your actions. This guide combines two proven approaches: using Chompy’s feeding-bin loot rolls (a repeatable "free loot gamble") and finishing the Jump Pad puzzle easter egg that spits out a Ray Gun Mk2 along with other rewards.

The Chompy method is fast and grind-friendly; the Jump Pad puzzle is a more involved one-time per-run easter egg but guarantees a high-value payout when done correctly.

Method A — Feed Chompy’s Bins (Fast & Repeatable)

This is the easiest way to chase a free Ray Gun Mk2 across multiple rounds without spending essence:

1. Find Chompy’s feeding bins: scattered around the map. You can feed Chompy up to three times every round — each feed triggers a separate reward roll.
2. Use Lethal Equipment to feed: lethal items (frag, semtex, etc.) are ideal because they drop regularly from zombies and are cheap to re-stock with Max Ammo. Feeding lethals increases your total number of rolls and therefore the chance for rare drops like the Ray Gun Mk2.
3. Feed early and often: aim to feed the maximum number each round. Multiple rolls per round compound over time — patience pays.

Why this works: Chompy acts like a free loot box that is separate from the Mystery Box pool. Anecdotal evidence from players shows Chompy’s feed rewards are weighted more heavily toward rare weapon variants on this map, which makes repeated feeding a very practical way to hunt the Ray Gun Mk2.

Tips: Lethal Equipment & Firesales (Stack the Odds)

Lethal equipment: Using lethal equipment when feeding Chompy allows quick, frequent feeds because you can replenish lethals with Max Ammo. It's cheap and efficient early-game.

Firesale timing: When you pick up a Firesale, Mystery Box spins drop to 10 essence. Combine a Firesale with a feeding session and you effectively get twice the number of free attempts for rare weapons — and some runs let multiple players get Ray Gun Mk2s in the same match.

Tip: If your team coordinates to feed Chompy and then trigger a Firesale, you multiply the total number of available rare-rolls in a short window.

Method B — Jump Pad Puzzle Easter Egg (Guaranteed Reward)

This is the larger easter egg that reliably hands out a Ray Gun Mk2 when completed correctly:

1. Turn on power & open the map: you must have all areas available and power online.
2. Use every Jump Pad in a circuit: pick any starting pad and ride 8 Jump Pads in a loop. The cost is roughly 4,000 Essence total (pads charge per use). After you complete a full loop, wait for 4 rounds.
3. Watch the blinking lights at Janus Towers Plaza: after 4 rounds, the far-left lobby light will begin a blinking sequence. Count the flashes in each group until the sequence completes and a solid light stays on. That sequence is your pad order.
4. Translate numbers to Jump Pads: each pad on the map corresponds to a number. Follow the blinking sequence by riding the pads in that exact order to create the precise loop the map is asking for.
5. Finish the loop and enter the purple portal: after the ordered loop, a purple sky portal will appear between two pads. Launch into it — a rift will open and dump zombies, free Essence, perks, and most importantly, a free Ray Gun Mk2.

This method is more involved than Chompy feeding, but it yields a high-value reward and is worth the time for players who want a guaranteed result in a single run.

Pro Strategy — How to Choose Between Methods (Solo & Squad)

Solo: prioritize Chompy feeding plus lethal refreshes and hunt for Firesales. It’s lower risk and scales with persistence.

Squad: split roles — one player completes the Jump Pad loop while others concentrate on feeding Chompy and collecting Firesales. Or everyone feeds Chompy and pools attempts; Chompy allows multiple Mk2 drops in the same game.

Combining both approaches in the same match gives you the best of both worlds: repeatable chances from Chompy and a high-value, near-guarantee from the Jump Pad easter egg.

Final Notes & Summary

To maximize your chances of a free Ray Gun Mk2 in Ashes of the Damned: consistently feed Chompy each round (use lethal equipment), time Mystery Box spins with Firesales, and — if you want a guaranteed high-tier reward — complete the Jump Pad puzzle easter egg exactly as the map’s blinking lights direct you.

Quick summary:

• Chompy feeding = fast, repeatable free-rolls (best long-term grind).
• Use lethals and Max Ammo to feed more often.
• Firesales dramatically reduce Box cost and multiply attempts.
• Jump Pad puzzle = longer, one-off effort that rewards a Ray Gun Mk2 when solved correctly.
