'Call Of Duty: WWII' Shadowed Throne Zombies Guide - Get Pack-a-Punch & Wunderbuss

Call Of Duty: WWII Nazi Zombies continues with The Shadowed Throne, and this guide should help get you started while fans continue to uncover the Easter egg. If you're looking for the Wunderbuss or Pack-a-Punch Machine, here's what we know so far.

HOW TO GET THE WUNDERBUSS IN THE SHADOWED THRONE

In order to get the Wunderbuss, you'll need to complete the first two steps of the larger Easter egg quest. Outside the Theater, you'll see a radio with a label formatted "XX-X." The series number is before the dash, and the model number is after the dash. With those digits, go to the Church and inspect the map on the wall. Its red marker will point to a randomized location.

Use the charts to the left of the map to match your pin location with your radio number. From that you'll get band and frequency digits. Enter those digits into the radio using the analog sticks. This will send a call to the Russians.

Outside the Museum, you'll see a dead soldier near a locked box. Melee the box to get some flares. Melee those flares and the Russians will fly in with a zeppelin and four anchors for your squad.

The Zeppelin will drop a lava-based Sizzler Zombie, which you must melee to get its stem. Downstairs from there is the Wonder Weapon station, near a suspicious blue device in the wall. We can't build it yet, though, because we need one more piece.

The next piece of the Wunderbuss is a battery. As it stands now, the battery can spawn in one of a few randomized locations. The first location, shown below, is in the Theater building near the M1928 Wallbuy. Look to the right of the box.

The next two possible battery spawn locations can be found in the Museum. Go all the way to the top of the building, take a right and you should see a corpse near a box. The battery may be on that box. Alternatively, it might also be near the Armorbuy on the first floor on a wooden box.

Once you've got the battery, bring it to the basement location shown above. Place the spike in the station, and proceed to the opposite wall to pick up the battery. The door will shut behind you once the power is removed. Put the battery in the station. The two items will combine to form the Wunderbuss. Zap the wall with your new gun to leave.

SHADOWED THRONE PACK-A-PUNCH GUIDE

With your Wunderbuss in hand, you can easily access the Pack-a-Punch machine. Near the spawn area, you'll see some bars and a panel that must be detonated with a grenade. That process will reveal fuses, which you must charge with the Wunderbuss.

There's a second panel on the slope on this wall pictured here. Explode it and charge the fuses once more. The Pack-a-Punch machine will reveal itself nearby.

That's all you need to do to get the Shadowed Throne Easter egg started. We'll have a full guide for that soon, and we'll expect you to have these steps completed before progressing.

Call Of Duty: WWII is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The Shadowed Throne DLC chapter is exclusive to PS4 until May.
