Der Riese Declassified:
Weapons

Mystery Box

Phoenix’s showcase of January 2026 shows the other weapons of the map, with their Pack-a-Punch names. No guide places them on a wall, so they are listed here as Mystery Box weapons. Monkey Bombs are very rare in the Box: Ayyden spent about 40,000 points each time to get them during tests.

The starting M1911 becomes the Mustang & Sally. On ZFRR, using the Teleporter Overload trick to get a guaranteed Wunderwaffe from the Box is not allowed.

Wonder weapons

Wunderwaffe DG-2

The lightning gun of Der Riese, back in the Mystery Box. It chains electricity from zombie to zombie. Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the Wunderwaffe DG-3 JZ.

Wunderwaffe DG-Scharfschütze

The new wonder weapon of the map: a scoped Wunderwaffe, built at a workbench from two halves found in the main quest. Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the Wunderwaffe DG-Funkenschütze.

Ragnarok DG-5

The gravity spikes of Black Ops III, a buildable in three parts.

Upgraded grenades

A red barrel

One of the barrels, seen through a hole in a wall outside the map.

Red explosive barrels hide behind windows all around the factory. Blowing them all up with grenades gives the upgraded grenades: much more damage, a wider blast and a red glow. Ayyden’s guide says they kill in one hit until round 28, and that grenades can no longer be bought from the wall afterwards.

1. In the spawn, outside the window closest to the stairs that go up, next to a bear shadow.
2. Outside the spawn on the right, near the door to the Animal Testing Laboratory: two barrels behind the window.
3. Inside the Animal Testing Laboratory, in the window left of the Trench Gun.
4. Inside the Animal Testing Laboratory, behind the first window on the right.
5. In the room right of Teleporter Z-B, behind the main window.
6. Outside the balcony of Teleporter Z-B: two barrels.
7. In the tunnel under Quick Revive, deep behind the window.

That makes seven throws and nine barrels for Ayyden and Not So Serious Gaming, who count two barrels at two of the spots; Chole and the other guides speak of seven barrels. The blast of the Wunderwaffe and of the DG-Scharfschütze is delayed and does not always set them off. A horn sounds when the last one explodes. The patch of October 30, 2020 fixed the grenade wall buy, which replaced upgraded grenades with normal ones.

Simian Bombs

The Simian Bombs are upgraded Monkey Bombs, which Tinhorn compares to the upgraded Monkey Bombs of Gorod Krovi.

The furnace

Its iron door opens on the fire where the Monkey Bomb is thrown.

1. Get Monkey Bombs from the Mystery Box.
2. Kill zombies with them until a warping sound and a monkey chime play. Ayyden and Tinhorn count 30 kills; Chole, Dog Catcher, Flapix and the French Steam guide give about 50.
3. Go to the furnace of the room under Teleporter Z-B, by Mule Kick and the Thompson, where distorted monkey music plays.
4. Throw a Monkey Bomb into the furnace, which ignites, then pick up the Simian Bombs when they come back out.
