How to Find Vacuum-Seal Devices, Capture Clusters, and Activate the Tower 3 Portal

With the launch of Black Ops 6 Season 5, players are diving into the final Zombies map before the Haunting update: Reckoning. This map is packed with layered objectives, cryptic Easter Eggs, and one of the most intense boss fights in the franchise. Whether you're playing in Directed Mode or tackling the challenge in Standard Mode, one of the key steps in the main quest involves capturing Antimatter Clusters using a Vacuum-Seal Device. This guide walks you through everything you need to know—from locating the device to capturing all four clusters and triggering the lockdown event at the Tower 3 portal.

🧪 What Is the Vacuum-Seal Device?

The Vacuum-Seal Device is a tactical gadget used to trap Antimatter Clusters. It resembles the LT53 Kazimir in design and takes up your tactical equipment slot when equipped. In Directed Mode, the game will guide you to one automatically. In Standard Mode, you’ll need to locate them manually. These devices are stored in small cases scattered across the map.

📍 Vacuum-Seal Device Spawn Locations:

  • Teleportation Lab
  • T1 Director’s Office – East wall, left of the Arsenal
  • T2 Android Assembly – Southwest corner
  • T1 Mutant Research Test Area – Near the PHD Flopper Perk Machine
  • T1 Quantum Computing Lab – East side
  • T1 Project Janus Reception – Teleporter room near metal detectors
Tip: These cases only spawn after power is activated. Make sure you’ve completed the early map setup, including building Franken Klaus and unlocking the Arsenal.

💠 How to Capture Antimatter Clusters

Once you’ve equipped a Vacuum-Seal Device, your goal is to capture four Antimatter Clusters. These clusters appear as floating purple objects with a swirling particle effect and a faint hum.

🧭 Step-by-Step Capture Process:

  • Equip the Vacuum-Seal Device.
  • Locate a cluster in one of the known spawn areas.
  • Throw the device directly onto the cluster.
  • Wait for the device to seal the cluster.
  • Pick up the device to secure the cluster.
  • Repeat the process with a new Vacuum-Seal Device—you’ll need four in total.
  • Important: You cannot reuse the same device. Each cluster requires a fresh Vacuum-Seal Device.

    📍 Antimatter Cluster Locations

    Clusters are hidden in everyday objects, making them easy to overlook. Here are the confirmed spawn points:

    • Flower Pot – Center of T1 Project Janus Reception
    • Toolbox – Outside area of T1 Quantum Computing near Speed Cola
    • Trash Bin and Box – Near PHD Flopper in T1 Mutant Research Test Area
    • Pillow, Coffee Cup, and Box – Inside T1 Director’s Office

    In Directed Mode, you may be sent to the T1 Executive Suite, which guarantees a cluster spawn. However, in Standard Mode, you’ll need to manually check each location.

    Tip: Use Tactical Sprint and Stamin-Up to move quickly betweenspawn points. The longer you wait, the more likely enemies willoverwhelm you.

    🚨 What Happens After Capturing All Four Clusters?

    Once you’ve secured all four Antimatter Clusters:

  • Head to the T2 Teleportation Lab.
  • Insert each Vacuum-Seal Device into the designated slots in front of the portal to Tower 3.
  • This will trigger a lockdown event, spawning waves of enemies.
  • 🔒 Lockdown Tips:

    • Prepare your loadout: Equip high-damage weapons like the Ray Gun or upgraded Wonder Weapons.
    • Use defensive perks: Juggernog, Speed Cola, and Death Perception are essential.
    • Coordinate with teammates: If playing co-op, assign roles—one player defends, another revives, and another focuses on objectives.

    Note: The lockdown is one of the final steps before the boss fight. Make sure you’re stocked on ammo and armor plates.

    🧠 Why This Step Matters

    Capturing Antimatter Clusters isn’t just a side objective—it’s a core requirement for advancing the main Easter Egg quest in Reckoning. Completing this step unlocks access to Tower 3, where the final boss encounter awaits.

    It also serves as a test of your map knowledge, resource management,and ability to multitask under pressure. Players who master this stepwill find the rest of the quest much smoother.

    Whether you’re a solo player grinding through Standard Mode or a squad tackling Directed Mode together, capturing Antimatter Clusters is a pivotal moment in Black Ops 6: Reckoning. With the right preparation and a sharp eye for hidden objects, you’llbe one step closer to unlocking the secrets of Tower 3—and surviving one of the most challenging Zombies maps to date.
