The Shattered Veil map in Black Ops 6 Zombies is full of secrets and challenges. One of the most important tasks is finding the three Empty Canisters. In this guide, we’ll explain all canister locations in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil and how to get them step by step.
These canisters are needed to upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II and complete the Easter Egg.
Why You Need the Empty Canisters
Empty Canisters are key items in Shattered Veil. They let you upgrade the Ray Gun Mark II into stronger versions, which are great for fighting zombies. You also need them to finish the main Easter Egg quest. Each canister is hidden in a different spot, and getting them involves solving puzzles.
All Canister Locations and How to Obtain Them
Canister 1: Breaking Blue Crystals
The first canister is hidden inside one of several blue crystals around the map. These crystals are often high up and hard to spot.
How to Get This Canister:
- Make sure you have a Ray Gun Mark II before starting this step.
- Look for blue crystals in these areas:
- Conservatory near Quick Revive.
- East Foyer ceiling near Stamin-Up.
- Southwest Balcony near the Nursery area.
- Service Tunnel ceiling near the Mainframe Chamber entrance.
- Shoot each crystal with your Ray Gun Mark II until one drops the Empty Canister.
- Pick up the canister from where it falls on the ground.
Only one crystal will drop a canister, so you’ll need to check all possible spots until you find it.
Canister 2: Using a Gersh Device
The second canister is located near the Mansion’s Rear Patio, close to a zombie spawn window. You’ll need an LT53 Kazimir Tactical (also called a Gersh Device) to get it.
How to Get This Canister:
- Go to the Rear Patio area behind the Double Tap perk machine.
- Find the zombie spawn window in this area.
- Throw an LT53 Kazimir Tactical on the ground outside this window.
- Wait for the black hole effect from the device to finish.
- After a few seconds, an Empty Canister will appear where you threw the device.
- Pick up the canister and continue your game.
This method is quick but requires you to have already found or crafted a Gersh Device earlier in your match.
Canister 3: Solving the Gas Pipes Puzzle
The third canister involves solving a puzzle with gas pipes and valves in two areas: the Mainframe Chamber and Service Tunnel.
How to Get This Canister:
- Go to the Mainframe Chamber and look for a gas chamber with a letter (“A” or “B”) next to it.
- Remember this letter and head into the Service Tunnel area.
- Find pipes marked with “A” and “B” through a small opening.
- Use a Combat Axe (Tomahawk) to hit two valves:
- First, throw your axe at the bottom-middle valve to release steam.
- Next, throw your axe at the valve that matches the letter you saw earlier (“A” or “B”).
- Return to the gas chamber in the Mainframe Chamber.
- Use an explosive like a Molotov or grenade to destroy this gas chamber.
- Once destroyed, collect your Empty Canister from inside.
This puzzle takes some focus, but it’s worth it for completing your quest.
Finding all canister locations in Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil is an exciting challenge that rewards players with powerful upgrades and progress toward completing the Easter Egg questline. With this guide, you now know exactly where to look and what steps to take for each canister!
