Can You Get the Staff of Ice from the Mystery Box on The Tomb? Answered

In *Black Ops II* Zombies, acquiring the Staff of Ice required players to gather three parts to craft the weapon. This tradition continues in *Black Ops 6*, but there's exciting news for those eager to jump straight into the action. You can indeed obtain the Staff of Ice directly from the Mystery Box on The Tomb map. However, this method depends heavily on RNG luck. While you can increase your chances using the "Wunderbar!"
