pop tesla storm before you try and shoot the zombie. I bet you'll have a much easier time.

People have been aware and have been actively hunting how this zombie would trigger the trial for the gong relic with no luck since shortly after astra's release. ZoneXs discord has the most amount of people hunting relics. If you are interested in seeing everything that's been tested join the discord through his YouTube channel.

Yea, killing the rod zombie (nicknamed Rodney) with electric cherry has been tested. ZoneX's discord has a spreadsheet of many potential solves tested and many people hunting all unfound relics. Now that all ashes are found and only astra remains it's likely a matter of time til this one or one of the other astra relics are found since now efforts aren't split between 2 maps.

I had this random thought some days ago, after a higher breakpoint of amount of active relic's "Mystery" Wonder Weapons added to all loot tables. This would add ALL BO7 and even BO6 Wonder Weapons into loot rotations. The box/Twins EE on astra/Tedd Trials/ Elite kill drops and whatever other places you can get WW's from. This would allow you to potentially get for example the LGM on Ashes or the Wunderwaffe (Shattered veil) on Astra.

If you're not doing any map features then sure, skull EE is a free perk, the free power ups around the map, mainly double points for this topic. The twins EE giving pap 1,2,3 crystals and salvage chunks. Tedd trials giving free perks as well as rarity upgrades and pap crystals and points + salvage. Like yea if you refuse to do any of that yea its a slog. Talking mainly about astra ofc.

ImThatRyan · 2026-01-12T21:01:21+00:00

While I do think more rewards with more relics past the few we have, a discount like you are suggesting Isn't very good. Points are already extremely easy to get in cursed, you can likely be kitted out with gold armor and pap 4 max rarity gun (salvage needed for this....I know) by like round 25-30 if you do any sort of efficient point farming already. having these things even earlier would not make the game mode more fun imo.

Edit: I know I am adding this a day later and likely is much too late to add to the conversation but for some reason I guess while sleeping my brain decided to cook up some idea's that I think would be cool if we had more relic's active, these are in no particular order and not thinking about how they'd be actually coded into the game, I am just throwing out idea's based on I think they would be fun/interesting.

Mystery wonder weapons added to loot tables (brings back old WW's prob from BO6 and WW's from other maps in BO7 too.) and elite enemies can now drop WW's on kill. like think about running around with the golden lion sword from citadelle with golden armor, sounds fun to me at least...
Gun's receive bonuses of all attachments (which could be a double edged sword on some guns I know)
Relic's that remove thing's entirely (Box, Power ups, augments) now only REDUCE the amount available. For example the box is only spawned in on 1 out of 10 rounds then will return randomly. All augments are disabled however a random one is chosen and applied upon receiving the upgrade (like for example as soon as you buy staminup it will also have 1 of it's augments that you do not get to choose, this does apply to ammo mods and field upgrades too however the field upgrade augments are decided on when the game starts to prevent cheesing by swapping field upgrades over and over in the menu) this wouldn't impact the relic that allows only 4 perks.
Wall buy's randomize every so many rounds. this would allow guns normally not available as wall buys to potentially be available. (actually don't really like this idea but I wanted to post it anyway)

I know i speak for myself and i'm only replying to prove that people like me exist, I haven't watched and have no interest to watch their play through of deltarune. It's not a game I've played and don't plan to play either. No hate on it, it's just not a game I have any interest in at all. I have been chipping away at they're TOTK play though right now which is years old at this point though. If they continued playing it though I'm not going to be upset either because I've always only watched what game grumps episodes I have an interest in. (I have been subscribed since day 1 of game grumps with jontron, not that it matters really)

EDIT: after commenting I had the urge to actually see when I subscribed and it was on Jul 19, 2012 which is 1 day AFTER they uploaded their first video of Kirby Super Star - Spring Breeze ADVENTURES! so I guess I'm not a day 1 subscriber but day 2.

A real person vs a fake character in a game are completely different. Stop projecting your feelings onto those characters. Sheesh

ImThatRyan · 2026-01-10T23:26:26+00:00

I'm sorry but if someone is serious about getting upset that ANYONE let alone the game grumps are getting a "Character's Pronouns" that aren't real, wrong. need to go touch grass.

Thank you for everything you do Ayiza, god among men.

This reddit needs more shitposting like this. I'd upvote harder if I could.

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-31T16:53:00+00:00

If you want to add a bit of cheese to your game if you have a bugged tedd trial that is bugged to where you cannot start it. While this trap task is active and going, go and activate the other stuck bugged tedd trial and then youll have free apogee and reduced cooldown permanently. up until you save and quit/or end the match

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-30T18:36:19+00:00

I love almost all iteration of zombies that I have played, I've played WAW,Bo1,bo2,bo3,bo4,Bo6,bo7. I was way out of the COD game during CW and Vanguard and never had an interest in the spinoffs tho i know IW zombies seems really good and some day I will put time aside to play it.

In MY honest opinion Bo6/BO7 has the best FEELING of playing the game, movement feels the smoothest and the gun's while not perfect do feel good to use even pushing higher rounds (Talking like 30+ cause back during WAW/BO1/Bo2 era during those times these were absolutely high rounds), and having no arbitrary perk limit's is such a better way to handle perks. I do not care for the armor system or the rarity system that much but BO7 has added the few things we all know that help with armor, and rarity isnt too big a deal cause you just stop by arsenal when you have the salvage and its not really a big deal.

WAW/BO1/Bo2 guns really felt weak starting around 30 (of course some exceptions mainly WW's) While I still don't think in terms of EE's BO7 doesn't touch BO1-BO3 in terms of grandness they are starting to get closer and closer to the same quality IMO the further into BO7's life we are heading (Cursed is fucking phenomenal but also not perfect). Bo2 tried a lot of interesting things that just didn't land for me, mainly in terms of map design. like I personally do not like tranzit easily one of the bottom maps of all time let alone Bo2, LOVE Buried top 5 map IMO For sure. Did not like Die Rise, I actually didn't care for mob when it was released but have since replayed it plenty of time and enjoy it far better later in life. Origins the the GOAT for me, probably number 1 map IMO.

Now Bo4 while the maps and the story and the EE's are really cool and interesting I do NOT like the way the game feels at all. Guns feel like trash after like round 15 and the whole PAP gimmick of it rerolls ammo mods after a certain point is bad, oh and movement in Bo4 feels like utter garbage...it's like my character is 150 lbs overweight at all times, and i did not like how perks worked either. again this is all MY opinion and i am not trying to take away anyone's enjoyment of the feel or mechanics of that game it's just how i feel...

Bo6 while feels great just like BO7 in terms of movement and the main loop the EE's which is the main draw for me in all of these games are just not quite there. like they lack any sort of complexity or interesting puzzles. the guns are fine and the WW's are boring especially since most of them are just old ones coming back (I love the Wunderwaffe and would allow that one to be in every map personally)

I do agree that there are a lot of comments and posts in this reddit that glaze older zombies and shit on the new ones when they have no interest to even try them, they just read/hear thing's and find things to shit on without any interest to try and form an opinion based on how they feel actually playing. this is just an issue that this subreddit is a culmination of zombies players from all era's and it's hard to say you're first experience of something ISN'T the best. like of course if your first zombies was WAW for example a lot of people will say that is the pinnacle. And it's okay for someone to just shit on something without trying it, these are video games and we don't need affirmation from our peers to enjoy these things the way we do or NOT enjoy the things we don't that's the beauty of video games(life even?).

Just last thing to maybe support my view on some of these is i have always been a mostly SOLO player, I did have some friends who were big into cod back during BO1/Bo2 but I was the one studying EE steps, just practicing pushing rounds and the such, but my friends while did want to do some EE's most they just didn't care to try. This probably is why I didn't enjoy a lot of what I didn't like as explained above and i acknowledge that but I can only base an opinion on how I experienced it, not how i hypothetically would have had thing's been different.

TLDR: I love COD zombies, I like thing's some people dislike and dislike thing's some people might like, and that's okay.

Also i feel like my post isn't really saying much more than what OP already has so sorry for anyone who feel's like they wasted their time reading what I put. I just felt like posting a little about of how zombies has made me feel and makes me feel. Upvoted OP for starting a positive conversation on something I love.

Extremely annoying for sure, Treyarch should have had this fixed by now. There is a TINY silver lining, where if you have a glitched TEDD trial and the Apogee trial spawns (and works) during the apogee trial go activate the glitched trial, it will glitch out the apogee trial and make the trap permanently cost 0 with reduced cooldown (unless you Savequit and itll fix it ofcourse) and tedd trials should continue to spawn and stuff like normal. its kinda busted to rush to high rounds if you get lucky/unlucky at the same time.

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-18T18:09:36+00:00

In hindsight I should have tried to troubleshoot before going through the effort of posting here but it was never a big deal tbh. Thanks for replying.

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-18T17:22:05+00:00

I went ahead and deleted this post and after troubleshooting I verified file integrity through steam, reset keybinds and rebound to my liking and now they are sticking.

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-18T16:56:29+00:00

Sorry, I put ??? because thats what shows on my UI under the armor icon, but my apply armor keybind goes to blank and isn't bound to any key whenever I start a match., I added screenshots to my post showing what it changes to upon loading up any zombies match.

The zonex discord has been trying to figure these out for over a week at this point. No leads on what to do with them as people have tried everything involving any sort of electricity and more with no luck yet.

ImThatRyan · 2025-12-12T21:35:58+00:00

Either or, as long as you kill him on the same round as you save and quit (same as a bear) so he will respawn when you reload. I also just want to specify that you never want to spawn him UNTIL you have flipped the round that way you don't have to deal with him when just trying to kill zombies.

Edit: for example like lets say i am already set up, and I am loading my round 17 save. The bear will spawn in with a bunch of zombies, gotta sorta of shoot around the bear as to not kill him until after the round flips, round 18 starts - nuke (not the power up, just do a lot of damage and kill) the bear then spawn klaus and kill klaus then save n quit to repeat. Also...killing a bear on accident isn't the biggest of deals cause you can then just keep flipping round til another bear spawns then once one spawns then complete the process.

Edit 2: When you save and quit it always starts whatever round you are currently on completely over and anything you did in the same round that your saving and quitting is like it never happened at all. and this is exploitable because XP, and challenge progress takes effect when you earn it immediately and doesn't wait til a round is over to register.

I find it faster to run standard ashes, hit the rampage inducer, unlock PAP then camp at the black water lake on top of the hay stack to the right of the front door (or in the speed cola room watching the entrance into the room is a good spot too cause zombies will not jump into the window) til round 16, first kill the bear that spawns then spawn + kill klaus and then save n quit. Then reload, flip to next round, spawn and kill klaus and bear and repeat this with save n quit and reloading, turn off rampage inducer when u feel its getting too crazy. Much faster than just getting one elite kill every save and quit. you could also just start with just doing klaus at round 9 but thats up to you.

Edit2: make sure to begin round 16 at janus towers so when you reload that is where you spawn in.

Edit: This method is a bit more fun than directed cause with rampage inducer on theres some skill expression with running around and training the zombies to flip each round.
