Call of Duty (COD): Black Ops 6 added a new zombie map for the current Season 5. The first-person shooter game introduced Reckoning, which allows players to build a robot companion alongside them during combat. So, here’s a complete guide on how to build Franken-Klaus in Black Ops 6.
Understanding Franken-Klaus
Big changes to the usual Call of Duty zombies gameplay mechanics following the arrival of Franken-Klaus. Unlike the countless robotic enemies players usually face, Franken-Klaus serves as a mechanical companion throughout the Reckoning easter egg sequence. You’ll have to gather its components and construct it from scratch to acquire.
Moreover, it’ll require you to understand the enemy spawn patterns, location rotations, and timing mechanics as well. It will add layers of strategy to the traditional survival gameplay that many knew of. This robot isn’t just a cosmetic addition to the map but rather plays an active role in progression.
After you’ve built and activated Franken-Klaus, it’ll work independently on terminals and participate in S.A.M. Trials. Also, it’ll move between different areas of the map, as included in the main quest storyline.
Collecting Franken-Klaus Arms
What makes the building of Franken-Klaus in Black Ops 6 challenging is the collection process. When trying to get its arms, you must target Kommando Klaus enemies that appear only during special rounds. These special rounds approximately show up every 5 to 7 rounds of the game.
Moreover, you can identify these rounds by their conclusion with a Max Ammo power-up. Now, on the collection process, you must first shoot the arms off the Kommando Klaus enemies without killing them immediately. Make sure to avoid using overpowered weapons to prevent eliminating the enemy with one hit.
Rather, pick weapons that can deal significant damage to sever its limb. Once you successfully remove an arm, deliver the finishing blow to make the arm part drop. However, arm collection is limited to one per round, requiring you to wait for the next special round.
Even if you encounter multiple Kommando Klaus enemies during a single special round, you can only collect one arm. You’ll need at least two separate special rounds to gather all the arms needed for Franken-Klaus.
Locating Franken-Klaus Legs
On the other hand, it’ll be easier to collect its legs than its arms. You can simply get the legs during the same round as it spawns in the T2 Android Assembly area. There is a designated search zone that lets players quickly navigate the space.
Here are all the possible locations of Franken-Klaus legs in Black Ops 6:
-
- On a shelf along the north wall in the robot assembly line room.
- On the floor close to the west wall door with an “Employees Only” sign.
- The floor beside the smashed TV monitor at the northwest wall.
- The scrap pile area before the Entity elevator.
You can see these legs in any of these four locations during each round. However, it’ll be best to establish a systematic research pattern to locate these required pieces. Also, you may complete all these within a single ground.
Assembly and Activation Process
After collecting all four limbs, you may start the assembly process in the downstairs area of T2 Android Assembly. You’ll immediately find the assembly station by looking for a distinctive red chest plate against a wall with a terminal and toolbox setup. By interacting with the station while carrying all four limbs needed.
However, this Franken-Klaus remains inactive until properly energized with Uber Klaus’ enemy. It’ll only spawn from Round 16 onwards as the Elite enemy type. Also, you’ll need to position Franken-Klaus within range of an Uber Klaus’ electric attack.
Uber Klaus will naturally trigger the activation as long as Franken-Klaus is within the vicinity. When activated, it’ll begin speaking and start working on a nearby terminal.
Conclusion
Make sure to have this reliable mechanical ally, Franken-Klaus, throughout your Reckoning journey in Black Ops 6. It’ll only be challenging when trying to collect its arms, as you’ll need patience to wait for at least 2 special rounds. Meanwhile, the legs are easier to get throughout a single round by identifying all potential locations. Also, don’t forget to activate it after assembling at the station provided.
