One of the most confusing and frustrating steps of Black Ops 6 Zombies’ Reckoning main quest easter egg involves a water bucket and a sprinkler. While this step isn’t going to require a fierce battle, it is going to require a quick hunt, as the sprinkler is only active in a random location once per round before switching to a new location, forcing players to run amok in search of this sprinkler system. Luckily, we’ve compiled all sprinkler locations in Reckoning, along with the water bucket associated with them, and how players can activate them when they’re turned off.
Players can complete the sprinkler step in advance from Round 1 as long as they punch the water bucket underneath the sprinkler in the spawn area before entering the metal detectors.
How to Activate Sprinklers in Reckoning
Any sprinkler system can be activated early, even when it’s off, simply by having a Molotov or another explosive equipped. Players can craft this equipment from the Crafting Table, and with one, they will want to take it to specific areas on the map, and throw it where we show below, which will immediately set off a smoke alarm and activate the sprinklers:
|
Smoke Alarm Location |
|---|
|
In the T1 Project Janus Reception, look through the zombie barrier at the southeast side, closest to the open doors that lead to Pack-a-Punch. Inside is a smoke alarm and a staircase that players can throw a Molotov at. |
|
In the T2 Android Assembly, head to where you built Franken-Klaus and look to the south zombie barrier and throw a Molotov. |
|
Inside the T1 Executive Suite, head to the north wall and look into the kitchen through the zombie barrier and throw a Molotov. |
Where to Find All Sprinklers & Water Buckets in Reckoning
There are multiple areas in Reckoning where players will be able to find a sprinkler system, and in the same area, they will be able to find a water bucket. Players must melee the water bucket with their weapon or fist (Melee Macchiato is not needed) until the water bucket is underneath the sprinkler system. Here’s where players can find all sprinklers and the corresponding water bucket:
|
Sprinkler Location |
Water Bucket Location |
|---|---|
|
As soon as you spawn in the T1 Project Janus Reception, look up to find the sprinklers just before the metal detectors. |
In the immediate spawn area of T1 Project Janus Reception, face the north wall to find the water bucket. |
|
Inside the T1 Android Assembly, head to the area where you build Franken-Klaus. In the center of this open room between Franken-Klaus and the launcher to T1 Quantum Computing, is the sprinkler. |
Inside the T1 Android Assembly, head to the far east corner in the same room as the launcher to T1 Quantum Computing. |
|
In the T1 Executive Suite, in the center of the downstairs cafe. |
In the T1 Executive Suite, on the north wall at the cafe’s bar. |
How to Use the Sprinkler and Water Bucket in Reckoning
Once players have filled the water bucket with water from the sprinkler system, players are going to want to head into the T1 Quantum Computing Core with the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon. Look to the west wall and look up to find a small room, and then fire a charged shot with the Gorgofex to drop a Fungal Head. This Fungal Head can now be placed into the filled water bucket. Doing so will spawn purple-eyed zombies that players can kill around the water bucket. Once the purple-eyed zombies stop spawning, pick up the Fungal Head and take it to the T2 Teleportation Lab, where you can now place it on the teleporter.
