Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Absolution Attack of the Radioactive Thing Guide

This is a full guide to complete the Attack of the Radioactive Thing zombies map.

The main game’s Zombies in Spaceland continues with this third content pack in Zombies Map 3: Attack of the Radioactive Thing, which is Infinity Ward’s latest chapter in the Infinite Warfare Zombies DLC adventure, called Attack of the Radioactive Thing, that immerses players in an alternate universe.

It is the third installment in Zombies’s four-part episodic narrative driven by four returning characters. Namely, the story is told through the eyes of four heroes: Seth Green (Robot Chicken, Austin Powers) as “the Scientist;” Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) as “the Rebel;” Jay Pharoah (White Famous, Saturday Night Live) as “the Soldier;” and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer) as “the School Girl,”

Here’s how to get started in Attack of the Radioactive Thing:

Intro: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Zombies saga continues with the third DLC’s “Attack of the Radioactive Thing!”.

Attack of the Radioactive Thing!, the next action-packed chapter of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare zombies experience, once again features the return of Willard Wyler, the enigmatic movie director villain portrayed with voice and likeness by Paul Reubens (Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Gotham). Wyler has trapped the four protagonists inside an all-new horror film, set in the 1950s and in the style of the Creature Feature films of the era.

Players will fight a new array of zombie enemies across a ravaged beach town where a government science experiment has transformed the residents into flesh-devouring zombies and introduced a new biological menace into the city.

Additionally, horror movie icon Elvira, played with voice and likeness by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Elvira’s Movie Macabre), will help players survive and give them gameplay tips and side quests with her unique Elvira style. New weapons, traps and more will augment the hallmark Call of Duty action.

Tip: Get a good team together of players you can rely on to revive and support you. Good teamwork is the key to success in Zombies mode. — Still looking for other co-op players?

Item Location Tip: The in the previous COD game so-called Mystery Box & Pack-a-Punch Stations are now called the 3D Printer & Weapon Upgrade Stations, respectively. These locations are also indicated on the in-game map with a questionmark box/square & up arrows/triangle.

Here are all the steps to take to finish the Attack of the Radioactive Thing easter egg puzzle:

This next guide will give a step-by-step playthrough of the sequence of events you’ll need to complete to finish the puzzle.

Before we begin, you’ll need to go through a few tutorials in this map to get properly prepared to progress through the Easter Egg steps.

TUTORIAL #1: How To Turn On The Power Location Guide & Juggernog Perk Guide:

The power generator location on Attack of the Radioactive Thing.

Power Station Location: When you open up one of the map’s spawn sites, you’ll be able to get to the diner with a blueprint station in front of it (this is the box for the power). However, a Power Handle to turn on the power is missing at the nearby power station (next to the Nightmare Summer poster). You can find the Power Handle by opening quite a few doors until you can walk onto the beach where you first see the Radioactive Thing walking in the ocean, it’s next to a wooden gate on the beach in a bloodied zombie’s hand that rising out of the sand holding the Power Handle part (look for the green glow coming from its hand). Pick it up and bring it to the power station to turn on the power that activates all Perk machines & most of the Traps on the map.

Tuff Nuff Perk Location: From the beach walk up the stairs towards the bright blue grocery store, cross the street to find the Tuff ‘Nuff perk machine on a wall opposite this blue building.

• A short guide showing you how to find the power switch in Attack of the Radioactive Thing.
• After showing how to fix the power, at 2 minutes in, you’re shown where to get the Tuff Nuff / Juggernog extra health perk.

Note: The Pack-a-Punch Perk Machines can be used after turning on the power.

TUTORIAL #2: How To Pack-A-Punch Guide:

• Find out how to Pack a Punch in the Attack of the Radioactive Thing zombies map. Basically, at the TV Studio you get the Vial to Elvira to enlist her help and she’ll show you the way to it!

TUTORIAL #3: Wonder Weapon Upgrade Parts Locations Guide:

• In this zombies map you get the new NAD Wonder Weapon literally out of the Magic Wheel box at random! Once you get it, it also has an upgrade for it by putting 3 Upgrade Parts on the weapon itself, like so…

First off, go find the Crowbar melee weapon — needed to open up the metal fuse boxes containing the Upgrade Parts — in the green-lit blueprints room next to the pool area.
Secondly, here are the 3 Upgrade Part locations inside the 3 power boxes.
– Part #1: Grip – Go to the bathrooms just outside of the RV park / campfire area, the fuse box is on the outside wall left of the entrance.
– Part #2: Plunger – Go to the back of the gas station, where it’s on the wall.
– Part #3: Crank – Go to Elvira’s room at the TV Station near the Magic Wheel location, it’s next to the entrance on the outside of her building.

Note: These parts allow you to upgrade the gun into the MAD Proto that has unlimited ammo, as you can easily refill it from the oozing green eggs all around the map.

TUTORIAL #4: Perk Machines Locations Guide:

• A guide showing you how to find every Candy Machine Location to get Perks in Attack of the Radioactive Thing.

TUTORIAL #5: Alien Fuse Parts Locations Guide (How To Double-Pack-A-Punch Guide):

• A guide showing you how to find all Alien Fuses, which will let you Double-Pack-A-Punch.

Make sure you have the Crowbar. Enter the Pack-A-Punch room and press the button on the wall, then melee the cabinet with the crowbar and grab the Alien Fuses. Place the Alien Fuses on the ground in the Power Station area. Restore the Electric Trap for $750 and activate it to get the Charged Fuses. Now install them on the Pack-A-Punch machine to turn it into a Double-Pack-A-Punch machine.
Note after that’s all done, you will still need $5,000 + $10,000 to do double weapon upgrades with the machine.
