22 articlesOne of the easter eggs in the Kowajuko map in Black Ops 7 Zombies is tied to the “Maneki Mecha” Dark Ops, and completing it allows you to command a powerful mech samurai suit.
The samurai mech suit is, for the most part, a special variation of the Rhino. It’s got a cool samurai aesthetic, and it’s absolutely fantastic for destroying zombies and other hostile monsters! It’s a great addition to your arsenal.
So, in this guide, I’ll tell you everything you need to do to complete the “Maneki Mecha” Dark Ops in Kowakujo.
Collect the Arms and Legs
The first part of this easter egg is the simplest, but also potentially the most annoying. For this one, you just need to shoot any rocks you see on the lava. They should look like the one above, as an example.

When you break these rocks, they might randomly drop robot parts. You’ll need to collect 2 legs and 2 arms. This is also random, so you’ll need some luck to find them fast. At worst, though, you’ll always get some Salvage.
Once you’ve collected both arms and legs, it’s time for the next step!
Activate the Klaus Core
Next up, you’ll need to look for a humanoid robot’s torso on the lava. It should look like the one in the screenshot above. Follow it as it floats on the lava and you should end up at the Flower Garden.
Once you have managed to reach the robotic torso and it washes ashore, get close to it and interact with it.
Doing so will spawn an UBER Klaus Core, so be ready to defend yourself!
Unlocking the Rhino Mech Samurai Suit
When you take out the UBER Klaus Core, its body will fall on the floor nearby. Approach it and interact with it one more time.
This will take you to a miniboss fight against some strong monsters, like an Abomination and Zürsa. To make things easier for you, you’ll be in control of a special samurai version of the Rhino. Use it to destroy your enemies quickly!
Once you survive the encounter, you’ll be taken back to where the UBER Klaus Core’s body is. You should get a notification saying that you completed the “Mecha Mayhem” quest, which also means you completed the “Maneki Mecha” Dark Ops.
More importantly, however, this also turns the UBER Klaus Core’s body into a vendor. You can now interact with it to purchase the special samurai Rhino whenever you wish! It costs 1750 Salvage, though, so keep that in mind.
Nonetheless, that’s all you need to know! Now you know what to do to complete the “Maneki Mecha” Dark Ops in Black Ops 7 Zombies and use the samurai mech suit easter egg in the Kowakujo map.
A samurai mech suit is awesome, but how about a cat that doubles as a powerful Wonder Weapon? If that sounds interesting, check out our guide on the Nekomancer Wonder Weapon!
