So guys, are you enjoying Map Pack 3 so far? It was released yesterday onto the Xbox Live MarketPlace and Playstation Store and ’should’ now be available in all regions. Without a doubt, the highlight of the new Der Riese zombie map, has to be the Pack-a-Punch machine, which lets you throw in a weapon (for a price) in return for a beefed up upgraded weapon.
Its all about teamwork in getting those 3 teleporters linked up, if you want to be able to use the machine. Preferably, you’ll want to do it as soon as possible too, as Der Riese is a much harder map and starts to get ‘tasty’ after round 10 or so.
Assuming that you have the Pack-a-Punch machine available at your disposal and 5000 points to spend, here is a full list of all the possible outcomes for your weapons:
30 Cal => B115 accelerator
BAR => The Widow Maker
Colt 45 => C-3000 b1at-ch35
Shotgun Double Barreled => 24 Bore long range
Shotgun Double Barreled Sawed Grip => The Snuff Box
FG42 => 420 Impeller
Gewehr43 = > G115 Compressor
M1A1 Carbine => Widdershins RC-1
M1Garand => M1000
MG42 => Barracuda FU-A11
MP40 => The Afterburner
.357 Magnum => .357 Plus 1 K1L-u
PPSh-41 => The Reaper
Shotgun => Gut Shot
STG-44 => Spatz-447 +
Thompson => Gibs-o-matic
Type 100 => 1001 Samurais
Type 99 => The Eviscerator
Panzerschrek => Longinus
PTRS-41 => The Penetrator
M7 Launcher => The Imploder
Kar98k => Armageddon
Ray Gun => Porter’s X2 Ray Gun
Wunderwaffe DG-2 => Wunderwaffe DG-3 JZ
M2 Flamethrower => FIW Nitrogen cooled
Now I only managed to have a few rounds on the game yesterday, but I did manage to upgrade the PPSh-41, Trench Gun and Ray Gun. From what i can see, the effects are pretty cool. PPSh-41 becomes ‘The Reaper’ and comes with a 700 clip, double tap and extra damage. I’m not too sure about the Trench Gun, but the upgraded Ray Gun now shoots red bullets rather than green, has an upgraded clip and more damage. It is also supposed to remove splash damage too, meaning that you can shoot close range without getting hit, but I’ve yet to confirm this.
Are you having fun with the Pack-a-Punch Machine? Let us know your experiences with it so far and even better, list the weapons you have upgraded and let us know it’s new features. I spilt the beans with the upgraded PPSh-41, so it’s only fair! See you in-game.

These are all of the weapons I have upgraded so far, and the effects that I have noted, there are probably more effects than I have listed, but I’ve only used each weapon once.
Note also that most of the weapons have an increased maximum capacity (generally doubled), except the colt, which is reduced in half, but it shoots grenades, so yeah.
Colt 45 => The Colt, when upgraded, shoots grenades, like in the suicide king Death Card.
FG42 => Increase in damage.
Gewehr43 = > Slightly faster top speed, and lots more damage.
M1A1 Carbine => Becomes automatic, and more damage.
M1Garand => Decreased recoil and increased shot speed.
MG42 => Increased damage.
.357 Magnum => Increased damage.
PPSh-41 => Increased damage.
Trench Gun => Holds 10 bullets per clip, increased damage, and reloads two bullets at a time.
Thompson => Increased damage.
PTRS-41 => The Penetrator
M7 Launcher => You can shoot 3 grenades before reloading (roughly at the speed of a regular garand shot), and Decreased recoil and increased shot speed.
Kar98k => As far as I can tell, 1 hit kill at round 20-ish, and 8 bullets per clip.
Ray Gun => Porter’s X2 Ray Gun
Wunderwaffe DG-2 => 6 bullets per clip, red electricity.
I forgot to add, the PTRS has 10 bullets per clip and increased damage.
got past round 2 with the colt
As mentioned before
Ppsh-41 => The Reaper has increased damage larger clip, more damage, double tap. Gets 700 bullets max.
Type 100 => 1001 Samarais has much larger clip, also more damage.
Thompson => Gibs-O-matic seems to do more damage, faster firing and larger clip. Gets around 300 bullets max.
Trench gun => Gut Shot has more damage (pritty much 1 shot), increased range, reloads 2 shells at a time, can fire through multiple zombies (think i shot through 3 or 4 in a line), has a clip size of around 10.
I didnt find the thompson upgrade to be as good as the other guns when i did it. The Reaper is really nice.
MG-42 increase your carry capacity to 750 rounds (dont think it changes clip size) massively speeds up fire rate, but i didn’t notice much differnece in terms of damage (might just be me though)
Ok has anyone actually used the type-99? I have never seen it in the mystery box and cant get it. I saw somewhere that you have to do the fly trap achievement then find all the hidden bears and then the type-99 will come from the mystery box. Not sure if this is true, and I can only find 2 bears and the monkey in the fire. So never get to use the type-99. Has anyone got to use it? Can you tell me how to get the type-99. Thanks
I have used the type 99 but we completed fly trap then a m8 shot all the bears and monkey as i opened the box and got type 99 then but died shortly after on round 38.
the best weapon is the thompson ok. i savived 21 rounds with it
the best door to open first is the one up the steps to the door on the right leading to the thompson
Hi everyone.
Last night i played Der Reise at my friends house.
It was my first match on Nazi zombies and i think we played well. We got to round 21 with 3 people.
We would have got much further but one of my team mates ran out and died. I ran out of ammo with my upgraded MG (Baracuda) and with my colt.
Anyway i would like to say the MG-42 is great when it is upgraded and as is the Colt.
Getting a few bettys and monkeys will help you further and the buchers knife is a good step.
As i graduly built up my money to a very large total (as i didnt need any other guns) i bought all the perks. That helped too
I suggest the PPSh and green gun or trench gun both upgraded with all the perks. DO NOT GET THE FLAME THROWER AND UPGRADE. It does not do much better than the regular gun.
The type 99 was a typo and the sawed off shotgun was acidentaly removed from the game. So all the rumers bout the flytrap r just rumors.
Some stuff you might not know:
You can play the song by going to all 3 jars with brains in them and pressing X/what ever you do to buy stuff on PSN (two are nere a staicase you need to go thru to get to m box and other is next to were you buy grenades)
also if you throw a monkey at the monkey in hide and seek you sais thank you now i have sum1 to play with, this may be quawicadince but after that i got a wonder, ray then mg42 in a row from the box followed by a teddy that said nothing.
