Shovel Guide

[GRILL]

Brains!

[mmm chocolate]

So it was false when people said if you went down, you had to start your digs all over again? I give up almost every game trying to get the golden shovel because I'll go down, and I thought it reset everything :?

That is false yes. Does not reset.

[MrPringles]

thanks for sharing info about the shovel! 

[yourmapper]

Here's a great video that explains it all in detail.  Map of the 16 mounds, some strategies, how it all works, etc.  All your questions answered.

Since no one has posted a video of using the semtex to make the mound location appear without zombie blood, here's one I found:

Note this guy says there are 17 mounds, but doesn't prove it.  I still think 16 make the most sense.

Just wondering if you are able to get a 6perk after getting 4 plus double tapp.

because i have 6perks and then found another red pile and collected it but when i went to get the perk from wonderfizz says cant have more than six, i even tried going to the red pile again and it was gone so my conclusion is you can't get another perk after double tapp reward is claimed

please can someone confirm this or tell me if i have done anything wrong

cheers cobalt

You need to pick up the double tap reward as your very last perk otherwise it will fill one of your blank spots.

Now this is pure speculation, and may just be me blowing false info, buut from what I've seen, the shovel doesn't have a set number of dig sites, but rather, appears once a player has dug up something from every dig site spawn: 

-2 near gen. 5

-3 near jug

-1 under the ice grave on the mound

-1 in front of the soul chest

-4 by the workshop entrance and in the mud tracks

-1 more in the middle robot's second footstep

-1 more in his first left foot print. 

-2 dig sites near gen. 2

-1 down the path from 1 to 2.

-2 down the path from 1 to 3. 

-1 at  gen. 3

-1 in each of freya's footsteps (so 2)

- 2 beneath the church

-3 near gen. 6

 

add that all up and you got: 26-ish graves, about what you need to get the GS. 

 

Someone should try this: Play a game and only hit each dig site once to see if you get the GS.

It's worth a shot, I'll give it a go this weekend. I will let you know my findings.

[swappingspit]

If you don't dig for say, the first 10 rounds, will every dig site have appeared by then, or is there a finite amount that can be dug on the map at one time?

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Idk.. Someone should test that as well… 

[swappingspit]

I'm paused on round 13, because I had to run to work.

 

As far as I could tell, dig spots stopped appearing around round 7, possibly round 6. I'll have to go into theater later to count them and see exactly when the last spawns were.

 

When I get home tonight I'll test out digging every site.

Thanks

i heard its possible to get the m1911 by digging. Is that legitimate or just a rumor?

That was just a hoax unfortunately.

[thegoldenspork115]

ah. damn. I love having the combination of mustang and sally with Phd Flopper.

Awesome guide !

[brando]

so when you pick up those weapons from digging them up they are gold or what? i dont understand because i have had golden weapons before on origins and didnt know how i got them they were gold before and after upgrading also

[Boom115]

@brando No it just digs up better weapons, they are all outlined in the OP. If I were to guess what you are seeing is a graphical glitch.

[swappingspit]

I think your eyes may have deceived you, because as far as I know there are no golden weapons to be dug. You can reference all available weapon skins here in MMX's very thorough weapon's guide: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158900-a-weapon-guide-updated07/?hl=%2Bweapon+%2Bguide

I have heard you can get a ray gun mark 2 from this although it is a 1% chance.

Sorry bud, just a myth. You can however spend 400,000 points and possibly get it from the mystery box lol.

[Dobis]

Has it been proven that you can dig the Mark II out of the ground?
