What is Lightning Staff?
The Lightning Staff is a powerful weapon featured in the Origins map of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
It is one of the elemental staffs that players can acquire and upgrade to its ultimate version.
The staff harnesses the power of electricity, allowing players to unleash bolts of lightning that electrocute and eliminate zombies in their path.
The Lightning Staff’s ultimate super attack is a larger ball of electricity that can chain between multiple zombies, making it highly effective against hordes of undead enemies.
How to Get the Lightning Staff? Steps
You need the following parts to get the base version of the Lightning Staff.
- Gramophone
- 1 Purple disc
- 3 Purple parts
- 1 black disc
Here are the locations where you can find these items:
Get Purple Parts:

Part 2: Ride the tank from Generator 2 (Tank Station) and jump across to the wooden platform on your LEFT as you approach the excavation site. Walk above the excavation site to claim the part.
Part 3: After reaching the part 2 location, jump to the RIGHT side of the tank near the church, onto the snowy walkway with the broken fence. Navigate around the back of the church to find and claim the part.
Get Purple Disc:
