Rocket Shield Upgrade

[PortlyLlama80]

So, there was a recent data dump that revealed that an upgraded form of the shield, called the "Goddard Apparatus"; and now someone has figured out how to actually upgrade it; confirming that this is legit.

It seems that what you have to do is use the Rocket Shield on zombies and get 10+ kills in twelve consecutive bursts, or a perfect game of bowling basically. You'll hear a bowling pin sound if it you get it right, and if you don't you have to start over again.

Excellent!

What round does it plow through zombies to? If anyone knows...

I did the achievement on round 4, i guess i should have kept at it.

So now all we need now is the upgraded Apothicon Servant? Sweet.

And find the Second Wonder Weapon and Second Main EE; if either actually exist.

We've discussed Goddard before on the site, though I don't remember why... Anywho, it's awesome seeing a reference to real life in the map, being fictional and all!  We haven't had any nods to real life yet so that's awesome.

Here's what I don't understand though. So we know it's called the Goddard Apparatus. It's not "Easy" to obtain. So why go through the trouble of doing this, if when it breaks you have to do it all over again. What's the point.

To me it seems as if once we've obtained the Goddard Apparatus, there's something we have to do with it. Just doesn't make sense to me that this would be a "Glitch".

Either a glitch or the one time use is something to do with further EE progression.

Yea that's along the lines of what I was thinking, @Nightmare Voyager

Would be funny if you had to bowl through 10 Keepers to keep it at the bench. You'd probably have to collect the 4 ritual items and not kill any of those keepers, and then start a ritual. That'd be impossible in solo.

Do the found (in pods) tanks replenish/heal it?

Or, realistically, it is supposed to stay there, but is glitched. This is Trollarch.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Or maybe you be got to roll back to back "Perfect Games". Haha G.G.

Maybe to keep it upgraded, you have to bowl over Mawgra.

I don't want to be the guy trying that.

-------

Maybe you can PaP it.

-------

Shoot it with the WW?

-------

Maybe you need to bowl over x amount of zombies with the upgraded shield? And pod tanks to keep it going? That sounds like something we would have to do.

-------

I've noticed pod tanks around the map that appear to just be background, but coincidentally look exactly like the pod tanks. Maybe they are for this?

-------

Kill x zombies with it in zombie blood (hidden in plain sight)?

-------

Sword Flay + Goddard Device + kills = ?

-------

What's with the room with the lion heads? It looks like they either could hold a ring in their mouths, or a stone or something in the indent on their heads. Is that part of the easter egg?

The place has a woman's name, (not on the game right now, so i can't post the name), and inside says (her name) Secret. It can't be nothing.

Canal>power steps> the room before the perk room with 4 lions (4 players...).

That's an unrelated Easter Egg regarding a white gumball. You activate it by throwing Widow-nades into each Lion mouth and thus the Gobble Gum sound will play and your white gumball is waiting in its mouth. Its use is unknown.

Actually, I just lied. I know its use. After you retrieve this white cum-stain, it relocates to the Ice Cream shop. There, I threw a ton of Widow-nades into the shop, all over the room and it suddenly grew into a huge disaster of a gumball. However, I picked it up and it granted me Phoenix Up... In solo... So I died. <TRUE STORY

I tried with the regular sword and the BK. I was a little timid on my attacks, but I'm fairly sure it's not a profitable idea.

With the upgraded sword, just aim at his eye/head and hit LT.
