Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening Weapons Guide

How to get the Minigun Weapon in the Der Eisendrache Zombies Mode Map

Locations: There are two sure shot ways to spawn a minigun (also called death machine).

• Spawn Spot #1: The first one would be to get the “Fatal Contraption” Mega Gobblegum from Monty’s Factory. But since you acquire gobblegums randomly this might not be ideal.
• Spawn Spot #2: A much better, and safer way, is to run over the blue pressure plate near the Juggernog during anti-gravity. This one pressure plate will spawn a death machine pickup at the workbench by the pyramid. To trigger anti-gravity just stand on all 4 pressure plates around the pyramid for a few seconds.

See how to get it with gameplay tips from this video guide.

Note: If you are going after the “None Left Standing” achievement / trophy, dogs are not needed for the achievement / trophy. The earliest you can do it is in round 12, because that’s the first time a Panzersoldat spawns. Kill off some Zombies and let him chase you around the pyramid room. When some zombies are burning/electrified you wait for anti-gravity, run over the pressure plate and quickly grab the death machine pickup. Then kill the Panzersoldat and all the zombies.

The achievement / trophy asks that you kill these 4 types of zombies using a minigun:
• #1 – Normal Zombie (you know them, they spawn all the time).
• #2 – Panzersoldat (big robot guy, spawns in round 12, 17/18, 22/23…).
• #3 – Electric Zombie (must be electrified by a Panzersoldat’s Shock Charges. Just let him chase after you for a while and he will electrify a zombie).
• #4 – Burning Zombie (must be burned by a Panzersoldat’s Flamethrower. Just let him chase after you for a while and he will burn a zombie).

How to get the Ragnarok DG-4 Wonder Weapon in the Der Eisendrache Zombies Mode Map

The “Ragnarok DG-4” is a weapon you place on the ground, where it creates an electric shock wave forcefield capable of trapping zombies & Panzer Soldats. It’s based on the Gravity Spikes from multiplayer.

See how to get it with gameplay tips from this video guide.

Location: To build the Ragnarok Wonder Weapon you must find 3 parts and put them together at a workbench.

• Part 1: Dropped by the first Panzersoldat (spawns in round 12). Use Wrath of the Ancients Bow to kill him quickly.
• Part 2: Activate the Death Ray Trap (on the bastion walls after turning on the power). This spawns a blue glowing object in the sky. You must use a Wundersphere to get it (will be random which Wundersphere you must use to reach it, changes on every playthrough. There are 4 Wunderspheres one always leads to the part in the sky).
• Part 3: In the Rocket Pad area, wait for 1-2 minutes until the rocket launches. Quickly use the switch underneath the rocket (turns from red to green when usable) and run back inside to the teleporter. There is a console with 3 lights that will turn from red to green. When they are all green you must hit the switch on the console. Be cautious of zombies spawning here.

Note: After you get the Ragnarok you can unlock 2 achievements / trophies with it:

– “Time To Slam” (In Der Eisendrache, revive two players protected by the Ragnarok DG-4.):
Let two of your teammates kill themselves with a grenade, then plant the Ragnarok and revive them.

– “Not Big Enough” (In Der Eisendrache, trap and kill a Panzersoldat using the Ragnarok DG-4.)
Every couple of rounds some more Panzersoldaten will spawn (usually round 17/18, 22/23…). When they spawn, weaken them first (about 10 shots with your bow) and then plant the Ragnarok on the ground near them. It will make them hover for a few seconds. You must kill them WHILE they hover in the air! This only lasts a very short time, which is why you must weaken them first. When they fall back down to the ground it will no longer count for the achievement. Your teammates can help you by planting their own Ragnarok traps. It doesn’t matter who plants the trap. Only the player landing the killing shot will get the achievement, regardless of who set up the trap.

How to use the Wrath of the Ancients Wonder Weapon in the Der Eisendrache Zombies Mode Map

The “Wrath of the Ancients” is an upgrade-able Bow Weapon that can shoot 60 flame-tipped arrows. It has 4 different upgrade variations: electric, fire, wind, and wolf.

See how to get it with gameplay tips from this video guide.

Location: The Trident can be unlocked by taking the following steps in the given order (you cannot skip a step).

• Step 1: Feed the 3 Dragons. This is done by killing zombies under them. They must chew up 7 zombies you’ve killed. Then the dragons fall apart.
• Step 2: Now you have unlocked the Wrath of the Ancients Bow, pick it up.
• Step 3: To start upgrading it, use the Death Ray Trap (section after turning on the power) and shoot the weather vane to the left of the death ray.
• Step 4: A Blue arrow falls down from the weather vane. Pick it up.
• Step 5: There are 3 bonfires scattered around the map. Shoot them with arrows to light them up.
• Step 6: Go to the Pyramid room. Wait for the anti-gravity to activate and wall run over the 5 blue symbols on the wall.
• Step 7: Now 3 electrified urns show up around the map. You must kill 5-8 zombies near each urn. Then some blue orbs will get sucked into the urns. When the orbs stop appearing you move on to the next urn.
• Step 8: Charge arrows at the urns (hold down the shooting button, the RT on Xbox One / R2 on PlayStation 4). The arrows are now electrified. Shoot the same 3 bonfires again with the electric arrows.
• Step 9: Return to where you picked up the blue arrow in step 4 by the death ray. There’s some blue fog, hold the X button on Xbox One / hold the Square button on PlayStation 4 to interact with it.
• Step 10: Shoot the weather vane with your arrows once again and pick up the blue arrow that falls down.
• Step 11: Pick up the arrow and place it at the pyramid. Now kill 15-20 zombies near the pyramid to collect blue orbs. After a while the upgrade is finished.
• Step 12: Pick up your new and super powerful bow and you’re done! Congrats! — Note: it’s a bit easier with a co-op partner. They can hold off the zombies while you aim at the bonfires. It also works solo.

Upgrades: The “Wrath of the Ancients” Wonder Weapon can be upgraded to four variations!

Follow all the steps on our “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Awakening Easter Eggs” page to upgrade to all the Wrath of the Ancients bow variations.
