Dr. Monty's Factory is an interactive section of the main menu in the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies mode. It allows the player to craft "Mega" versions of the GobbleGum Power-Ups using Liquid Divinium randomly found throughout gameplay in the maps Shadows of Evil, The Giant, Der Eisendrache, Zetsubou No Shima, and Gorod Krovi.
The things the player can do to find Liquid Divinium to power up Dr. Monty's Machine are:
- Opening doors.
- Pack-a-Punching a weapon.
- Using the Mystery Box.
- Buying Gobblegum
- Buying a wall-weapon.
- Buying a Perk-a-Cola.
- Paying for teleporter (The Giant and Der Eisendrache).
- Buying a trap (rare).
Once the player has collected a vial of Liquid Divinium, they can go into the Factory, and power up one of three vats. They range from taking one vial of Divinium to three. Despite popular belief, powering up only the first vat yields a higher amount of GobbleGums (and therefor more rare/ultra rare Gobblegums.) This is because of the power boost. However, the higher Liquid Divinium setting has a much higher chance to yield better tier Gobblegum and therefore receive more powerful Gobblegum than if the Factory is used with a lower setting..
It should be noted that if the player uses one, two, or three vials they can get anywhere from one to four GobbleGums at a time, as it is completely random. Normally, using a single vial will yield one GobbleGum, using two vials will yield two GobbleGums, and using three vials will yield three GobbleGums.
Other than getting GobbleGums, the player may also receive power ups that affect the amount of GobbleGums received:
- Power boost - appears when using one or two vials of Liquid Divinium and will power up the other one/two slots, enabling the player to get two GobbleGums at the price of 1/2 Liquid Divinium.
- Liquid Divinium - Gives back the player one vial of Liquid Divinium.
- Reward Doubler - Doubles whatever you get, including Liquid Divinium. Getting two Reward Doublers will give four of whatever the player got, whether they are GobbleGums or Liquid Divinium.

Trivia
- Should the user receive a Liquid Divinium, the number in the inventory will only go down for the other vats (e.g. spin three, one Divinium, the inventory will go down two). This allows for a means to tell when the player acquired Liquid Divinium.
- In the menu for it, there are conveyor belts moving Perk-a-Cola bottles in the background. This is most visible on the right side, through the tube where selected GobbleGums get sent through.
