Power ups using Lightning and other Staffs Discussion

[Reaper2909]

Hey guys reaper here.

Found something new out today.

You can make power ups with the lightning staff by shooting the junction boxes with the knobs for the ultimate challenge.

You have to shoot the one near the tank and ride it to the first part location and there will be then a power up.

Same goes for the box in tank station 2,ride it to part location 2 and you will be able to get the next power up.

You have to shoot the boxes in the top where 4 little junction boxes are located.

This works one time per round.

What can we do with wind and fire?

[TheBSZombie]

Extremely great find. Not sure exactly what you are saying and the steps, but i am extremely surprised that we found something like this so late.

Is there a certain drop the appears? Or is it random? Is it a perma drop or does it go away like a normal drop?

[coolyocool111]

So maybe there are ways to get power ups with all the staffs not just ice and lightning? Might be worth looking into.

[Reaper2909]

Random and not permanent. You have to ride the tank instantly to get it.

Tested this several times and it works.

[way2g00d]

4 of us were screwing around on top of tank shooting out staff's like mad men, then we saw 2 max ammo power ups by spots where you get parts for lightning.

So I guess this is what triggered it. Great find dude.

[DeathBringerZen]

Great find Reaper. This has to add fuel to the fire on whether there is something more to do with the Wind and Fire staffs surely.

Amazing to see people still finding stuff after all this time. Bravo!

[MegaAfroMan]

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!

I knew Treyarch wouldn't make one staff so unbalanced by making it the only staff with an in game side challenge!

Wind and fire hunt go!

That zepplin in the sky, or even just the planes has always struck me as suspicious...

just as well, look for debris, or non-flaming wagons. Something to burn.

[TheBSZombie]

Maybe shooting the (i forget the official name) big baloon planes with the wind may result in something. Or shooting aomething inside the robots will reault in something.

[MegaAfroMan]

Robots are possible, but I feel like it'll be something static. Something that either doesn't move, or is at least always on the map somewhere.

Granted I have no idea is basing what to look for next, off of what was already found will even work.

Ice staff costs 0 points

Lightning costs 500 for the tank rides.

Ice gives zombie blood always

Lightning gives a random power up

so what would wind and fire do and need?

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Wind: You need to get to a high point, try shooting the wind staff to the church from the excavation site...

Fire: You need to kill for this: panzer, generator, plane.... So try killing something...

Note: Weather may be a factor!

Also: The ice staff can be used in the excavation area, and the lightning in the tank/church area. Perhaps the last one two can be found in the crazy place and the trench area... or the workshop area like with those telescope-type things seen all over the map... Maybe the spawn area? The caverns? Try to find a weathervane or a furnace or fire pit of some sort... maybe a beaker? A wheel of some sort?

[PINNAZ]

Great find! My friend.

Wind staff in the trenches?

Fire staff in the bunker compound?

No idea. Experiment, experiment experiment.

It must consist of a series of steps. i.e. -

- Ice Staff 3 flaming wagons for Zombie Blood

- Lightning Staff junction boxes & ride the tank for Power-up Drops

I hope your the one to figure it out.

[Rissole25]

Did some testing earlier.

The Fire Staff doesn't light up the wagons if off.

The Wind Staff doesn't effect the smoke/gas coming from the pipes in Spawn/Trench Building as far as I can.

Wind staff you might need to go in the robots and do something. You don't really go back in them once you have the pieces.

Fire Staff I reckon is something as simple as igniting one or several objects. I think that will be the next one discovered.

[SuperR3t4rded]

Ah, I was thinking about the steam pipes for wind too, but if that isn't the case... Well there's always the fallen robot. I've always thought there was more to him. How about we go find out?

[scottyboy8341]

This is incorrect. The drops randomly apprear after you ride the tank and have collected all the parts, maybe even upgraded the Lightning Staff I'm not sure. But they always appear when riding the tank whether or not you shoot the boxes. The drops are always random and appear there for just long enough to get them on your ride. If you take one then they will not re-appear until the next round but you can still get a max of three random drops per round. If you see one that you don't want you can keep riding the tank and they usually change each time you ride the tank. The draw back is I haven't seen a max ammo yet, usually a nuke, insta-kill, or 2x points but this is always at the end of a round so they are not really worth grabbing.

[Reaper2909]

Oh ok. Shoot it with the staff so i think thats the trigger.

Get a max ammo and zombie blood yesterday.

But it's nice to know you can make some power ups this way.

[Reaper2909]

But this have to do with the lightning.

Still think there can be more to the other staff's or the locations from there.

[way2g00d]

Doesn't fire staff already have its benefit against panzer. I doubt if we will get anything but worth experimenting.

[way2g00d]

I saw a nuke yesterday during my online game with randoms. Not sure what triggered that.

I think you see max ammos in high rounds or in those rounds where max ammo drop was missing. I still have no clue what junction boxes are, or what need to be shot as you guys are talking about? Sorry.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Has anyone tried doing something similar to the upgrade methods?

Ice: Freeze three objects

Lightning: Shoot the box

Fire: Burn something? The torches again?

Wind: Something with the globe smokestacks?

[TheBSZombie]

Quick question. Has anyone actually confirmed the process in getting the drops to spawn?

[Boom115]

4 of us were screwing around on top of tank shooting out staff's like mad men, then we saw 2 max ammo power ups by spots where you get parts for lightning.

So I guess this is what triggered it. Great find dude.

Yes that was our round 41 game. I'll have to try and find it in theater and see what triggered the max ammos.

[Dahniska]

These powerups spawn after you get/upgrade Lightning. You don't need to do anything else. Source: Tested it twice.

Also Max Ammos seem pretty rare to get this way, especially on Solo. Also you can use this to get Fire Sales if you never move the box. A useful tip for Solo players who don't want to move the box but would like a shot at getting box guns.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

So I was playing yesterday with the wind staff, and you know those tripod-gyro-telescope things arround the map? Yeah I hit a few of those and for some reason they glowed for a second---may have been a texture glitch but IDK...

Also one time after my first decent into the cript after doing the challenges for wind staff ice staff and eletric staff, the lights on the big wheel thing were all red! Why would that be?

[Tattoo247]

Last night we had all staves built, and in the spot where the last lightening staff part is (right before the full circle of the tank) there was a insta kill just chillin there, I just thought it was a dead zombie that dropped it but I bet it was from this secret.

Appreciate the knowledge!

I'd love to see a video of this to confirm it.
