Reliving the Glory Days of Mustang and Sally

For long-time fans of Call of Duty Zombies, few weapons are as legendary as Mustang and Sally. First introduced in the Black Ops era, this dual-wielded explosive weapon combo, when paired with the PhD Flopper perk, made surviving endless zombie waves almost effortless. The good news? This iconic weapon duo, now renamed Sally and Forth, has returned in Black Ops 6 Zombies, bringing with it all the explosive nostalgia you could hope for.

But how exactly do you unlock and master this classic weapon pair in Black Ops 6 Zombies? Let’s break it all down.

Step 1: Unlock the GS45 Pistol

The first step toward claiming Sally and Forth is unlocking the GS45 pistol. Here’s what you need to know:

Player Level Requirement: Reach Level 28 in Black Ops 6. At this level, the GS45 becomes available to add to your loadout.
Equipping the GS45: Make it your primary starting weapon in Zombies mode to begin progressing toward the ultimate upgrade.

Step 2: Level Up the GS45 to Weapon Level 31

With the GS45 in hand, the next step is to level it up:

Earn Weapon XP: Use the GS45 to kill zombies, especially after upgrading it at the Pack-a-Punch machine. Pack-a-Punched kills yield significantly more XP.
Weapon Level 31: Once the GS45 reaches Level 31, you’ll unlock the Akimbo attachment. This attachment is crucial for transforming the GS45 into the dual-wield setup reminiscent of Mustang and Sally.

Step 3: Equip the Akimbo Attachment

After unlocking the Akimbo attachment:

Loadout Customization: Go to the Gunsmith and equip the Akimbo GS45 Stock. This allows you to dual-wield the pistols, doubling their firepower.
Testing the Setup: Before diving into a match, test your dual-wielded GS45 pistols in a Zombies match to get a feel for their explosive potential.

Step 4: Pack-a-Punch the Akimbo GS45

Now for the fun part upgrading your pistols into Sally and Forth:

Gather Essence: You’ll need 5,000 Essence to activate the Pack-a-Punch machine for the first upgrade.
First Pack-a-Punch: Once upgraded, your GS45 transforms into Sally, boasting explosive rounds.
Second and Third Upgrades: Spend 15,000 and 30,000 Essence for subsequent upgrades to maximize damage output.

Step 5: Equip the Best Loadout for Sally and Forth

To make Sally and Forth even more devastating, build a loadout that complements their explosive nature. Here’s a recommended setup:

Muzzle: Ported Compensator (reduces recoil for better control).
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel (improves damage and fire rate).
Magazine: Extended Mag 2 (more ammo for sustained fire).
Stock: Akimbo GS45 (mandatory for dual-wield).
Fire Mods: Rapid Fire (for increased firing speed).

Perks to Enhance Sally and Forth

Pair Sally and Forth with these perks to dominate the undead:

PhD Flopper: Protects against self-inflicted explosive damage.
Deadshot Daiquiri: Enhances critical hit potential, even with explosive rounds.
Jugger-Nog: Provides extra health to survive tougher rounds.

Strategies for Using Sally and Forth

Mastering Sally and Forth requires some strategy:

Mob Control: Use their explosive rounds to clear large groups of zombies quickly.
Manglers and Abominations: Aim for these high-value targets to neutralize threats efficiently.
Mobility is Key: Always stay on the move to avoid getting cornered by hordes of zombies.

The Nostalgic Appeal of Mustang and Sally

With explosive rounds, rapid fire, and high magazine capacity, they’re a powerful throwback to Black Ops Zombies.
