The Glocke Drop Controller is one of Totenreich's most distinctive toys, and it's exclusive to this map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. You get your first one for free just by activating Pack-a-Punch, but there's more to this Scorestreak than most players realize. Kill floating zombies three times and the Glocke Drop spits out loot, potentially including the Jotunn Star Wonder Weapon. Here's everything you need to know.
How do you get the Glocke Drop Controller in Totenreich?
The first Glocke Drop Controller comes as a reward during the main quest, specifically after you activate Pack-a-Punch. You don't need to do anything special beyond completing that step, so the first one costs you nothing.
After that, you have two ways to get more:
- Crafting Table purchase: Spend 2,000 Salvage to buy a Glocke Drop Controller. This is the reliable method and the one worth planning around.
- Fishing: Totenreich has a fishing mechanic, and there's a chance the Glocke Drop Controller turns up as a catch. The drop rate isn't guaranteed, so treat fishing as a bonus rather than a farming strategy.
Craft the Glocke for 2,000 Salvage
There's no cap on how many times you can acquire the Glocke Drop Controller across a match, so 2,000 Salvage per use is the repeatable cost to keep in mind when managing your resources.
How do you use the Glocke Drop Controller in Totenreich?
The Glocke Drop Controller is a Scorestreak, so it sits in your Scorestreak slot and activates on demand. To deploy it:
- Press Down on the D-Pad to enter targeting mode.
- Aim the landing zone where you want the Glocke Drop to land.
- Confirm the drop with R2 (PlayStation) or RT (Xbox).
The Glocke Drop can land directly on zombies for initial impact damage, but the real value kicks in after it lands. Once grounded, it periodically sends out a pulse that lifts zombies off the ground and keeps them suspended in the air. You can shoot them while they're floating, or let gravity do some of the work when they fall. According to the source, the Glocke Drop repeats this suspension cycle approximately 5 times before its effect ends.
The Glocke Drop's pulse suspends zombies repeatedly, not just once. Each cycle is a new window to deal damage, so stay near the landing zone and keep shooting through all 5 pulses.
Is the Glocke Drop worth using in Totenreich?
The honest answer: it depends on what you're trying to do.
For casual rounds and players still learning the map, the Glocke Drop is genuinely useful. Suspending zombies gives you a clear window to deal damage without being swarmed, and the repeated pulses mean one deployment covers a decent stretch of time.
For high-round strategies, it falls short compared to other options. The War Machine has the raw power to destroy Necropincers, which the Glocke Drop can't match. The Disciple Injection provides survivability and breathing room that matters more when round counts climb. The Glocke Drop doesn't replace either of those tools in serious runs.
What is the Glocke Drop secret reward?
This is where the Glocke Drop earns its place even in more experienced hands. If you kill all floating zombies during the suspension pulses three separate times across the Glocke Drop's active cycles, the device spins and ejects a loot drop.
That loot can include the Jotunn Star Wonder Weapon. It's not a guaranteed drop, but it's a legitimate path to one of Totenreich's best weapons without going through the full crafting quest. If you're looking to get the Jotunn Star, check out the step-by-step Jotunn Star Wonder Weapon guide for the dedicated unlock method.
The secret loot reward requires killing all floating zombies three times, not just hitting them. Make sure every suspended zombie is eliminated during each pulse cycle, or the counter won't progress.
Getting consistent kills during suspension takes practice. Prioritize high-damage weapons and position yourself close enough to the Glocke Drop landing zone to hit every zombie before they drop back down.
Building your Totenreich loadout around the Glocke Drop
If you plan to run the Glocke Drop regularly, 2,000 Salvage per use adds up fast. A few things to keep in mind:
- Prioritize Salvage generation early in the match so you can afford multiple Glocke Drops per game.
- Pair the Glocke Drop with weapons that have strong damage output against suspended targets. Fast-firing weapons or high-damage weapons both work well here.
- Don't neglect your core perks and Pack-a-Punch upgrades. The Glocke Drop supports your loadout, it doesn't replace fundamentals.
