The new mode included in Cold War Season 2 is captivating thousands of players. In Outbreak, we'll have to complete a series of missions while dodging and annihilating hordes of zombies, with the unique feature that, upon completing a mission, we can continue progressing to new, even more difficult challenges.
If you want to win, upgrade your weapon
As you complete challenges in Outbreak, the zombies will become increasingly resilient and harder to take down. No matter how fast you are or how well you completed the mission, if they keep accepting missions, the zombies will become more powerful, and that headshot you used in your first game will be useless now, as they'll be able to withstand more than one. The solution? Upgrade your weapon.
What are Boosters used for?
Power-up machines (or Pack-a-Punch machines ) will offer the possibility of increasing the destructive power of your weapons in exchange for coins that we will collect during the game, a currency that we will exchange in the power-up machine to be able to raise the level of the weapon we have at that moment.
In total, we can upgrade the weapon up to three times; however, it won't be easy, as each level will require more money to reach. We'll start with a 5.000-point upgrade , then move on to 15.000 points , and finally 30.000 to reach the maximum level.
How do you get points?
Earning points is easy, but getting all the points is tricky. To get points, you just have to shoot the zombies and knock them down, and that will give you between 20 and 35 points . So far, so good. The problem is that reaching the 50.000 points needed to unlock the three weapon upgrade levels is anything but easy when you're only accumulating 35 points at a time. That's the crux of the matter, so you know you're in for a tough fight.
Where are the Pack a Punch machines?
The good news is that the booster machines are very easy to find, unlike what happened in Firebase Z. Each map will have a machine located at a certain point, so you only have to go to it to redeem your coins. This is the location of each of the machines on each map:
- Alpine: Go to the shelter and inside you will find the machine, right in the main hall.
- Ruka: Very easy to find, follow the map icon until you reach the old farm
- Golova: This time the machine is located on the top floor of the building in the upper part of the city, so you will have to climb the stairs to find it.
Are there more Pack a Punch machines?
If for some reason your route did not leave one of these machines nearby, you can always find a new machine when you finish the main challenge of the level. When you finish completing the mission, the map will show a new point of interest called Anomaly, a place where a crack will appear in which you will have to interact.
When doing so, a beacon will appear to be able to jump to another map (much more complicated, but completely optional), and next to this beacon, a workbench and the second booster machine or Pack a Punch will also appear.
Our advice is that you take advantage of these elements and continue exploring the current map by completing secondary missions and obtaining more points, since if you decide to skip the map things will get very complicated.
