Are you ready to wield a weapon that promises unlimited ammo but falls short of its Marvel-esque hype? Enter the Necrofluid Gauntlet in Black Ops 7: Ashes of the Damned—a wonder weapon that’s as intriguing as it is controversial. While it’s crafted in the Dark Aether and boasts infinite ammo, its power leaves some players questioning whether the grind is truly worth it. But here’s where it gets interesting: to unlock this weapon, you’ll need to face old foes, solve puzzles in the sky, and navigate a series of steps that are as challenging as they are rewarding. Let’s dive into the process—step by step—and decide if this gauntlet lives up to the hype.
How to Build the Necrofluid Gauntlet
-
Kill Uber Klaus: Brace yourself for a battle with a familiar yet formidable enemy. Starting in round 8+, head to the Janus Tower Plaza and prepare for a showdown with Uber Klaus, the “UBER Strong” adversary from BO6’s Reckoning map. He might not appear immediately, so be ready to survive a few rounds. Once he arrives, take him down without mercy. He’ll drop a crucial chip you’ll need for the next step. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is Uber Klaus’s return a nostalgic nod or a recycled challenge? Let us know in the comments!

Find Friendly Klaus: This step is surprisingly straightforward. Head to Ashwood, zipline across the garage, and enter the first door on your left—Sherif’s Office. There, you’ll find a friendly version of Klaus imprisoned in a chair. Toss 3–4 Stun Grenades at him to activate him. From this point on, you can command Klaus by pressing the L1/LT button. And this is the part most people miss: Klaus isn’t just a helper—he’s your key to the next steps.
-
Get the Canister: Your next destination is Zarya Cosmodrome (AKA Ascension). Locate the room below the rocket, where you’ll find a scanner. Command Klaus to interact with the switch and initiate the scanner sequence. Warning: This part is intense. You’ll need to stand still on the red light while fending off waves of zombies. Use Kazimir grenades and keep Klaus by your side. If Klaus dies, don’t panic—you can purchase a new one from radios scattered around the map.
-
Fill the Canister with Dark Aether Energy: After a successful scan, grab the canister near the switch. You can’t run while carrying it, so keep one zombie alive to slow the horde. Your first stop is Blackwater Lake, where you’ll interact with an Aether machine. Once filled, head to Ashwood’s bridge, and finally, to Vandron Farm. Each machine has a timer, so move quickly—or you’ll have to start over. But here’s the kicker: Is this multi-step process a clever design or an unnecessary grind? Share your thoughts below!
-
The Cube Puzzle: With the canister filled, head to the basement in Vandron Farm and interact with the glowing cube. The puzzle requires you to input the correct sequence of symbols, which can be found on the rooftops of Vandorn Farm buildings. Use the launch pad at the Farm to reach the Janus Tower Plaza and spot the three signs. Write them down, return to the cube, and enter the code. Activate the eye to start a lockdown sequence where you’ll need to shoot glowing green spores on the walls. Once complete, the Necrofluid Gauntlet is yours.
Is It Worth the Grind?
While the Necrofluid Gauntlet offers infinite ammo, its power falls short of expectations. It struggles against tougher enemies like Zursa bears, and even after Pack-A-Punching it for explosive shots, it’s hard to justify the effort. But here’s the real question: Does the weapon’s uniqueness outweigh its limitations? Let us know in the comments—do you think the Necrofluid Gauntlet is a masterpiece or a missed opportunity?
