Getting the Bowie knife with gravity on

[P Diddily]

I am not sure how many people know about this, but it is possible to get the bowie even after the power is on and the artificial gravity has been restored to the labs.

If you stand on the stairs facing the Bowie and look straight up at the ceiling and then run and jump towards the Bowie and hit x at the height of your jump, you can just reach it. It may take a couple of tries, but if you jump as close to the edge as possible, you can get it.

Ill give this a try. I almost never get a chance to buy this because there is always gravity there.

You can always break the window.

You can break the window, but I usually roll with a hacker at all times, so having areas unnecessarily decompressed can be a pain, especially if you do not need them to be. Running through the labs during a high round with the teleporting crawlers after hacking an excavator is enough of a pain without having to worry about suffocating. :D

You can always break the window.

As it was said, there is no point in doing that. All you gain is stuff like not hearing the red guy anymore and running into him, do an unwanted jump right into a bunch of zombies or dying while doing step 2 of the egg.

I mean look, it is still so easy:

The question is, is this considere3d a glitch to get it without gravity or not?

[way2g00d]

It is not a glitch. Run, Jump, press and hold x for xb or square for ps3, takes few tries.

Or don't turn on the power buy it

Then turn the Power on

[Edwantsyourhead!]

No Im saying did Treyarch mean to put the ability to get it without the power? Cause if not I personally believe its a gltich.

My old strategy was I'd get the Bowie Knife and then turn the Power On. I got to a point where I was grabbing the Bowie Knife first try, every time.

Nowadays, I turn the Power On, and just leap at the Bowie Knife like a boss. Usually takes me about 3 tries to get'r done.

IMO, throwing a nade out the window is the absolute worst strategy at all. Don't decompress any area on this map if you can help it.

[way2g00d]

Funny thing I find it hard to do it with Power off.

It usually takes me 1-2 tries with power on.

[Superhands]

Yeah it's more difficult than with the power on of course. But decompressing any area will just make things a LOT harder for you when it comes to hacking the Excavators, so it's worth just keep trying without gravity or doing it before the poweer is on if possible.

:lol: It's always hilarious when you're playing with a random, and he's all amazed that you bought the Bowie with the gravity on.

Even though this is new to me, but I did find it interesting and did have fun on it.

[CalloftheVaffles]

This little trick is quite useful when you're trying the no power challenge on moon, help to rack up those extra points until round 10 :)

[PFCSNAFU]

Oh my god, me and some guys were doing the easter egg again and i was doing the bowie thing for the first time. It was hard as hell, but i got it at like round 3

Oh yeah, I've gotten those before. I just tell they gotta man-up and stop being a pussy about it. This is how the pros do it. :lol:

[Golden Geyser]

I find it better to open the door to get the Bowie Knife then the Power. Or you can try getting while there is a crawler not in the the middle of a round.
