Golden Elevator Key

The elevator key of Die Rise BO3 Custom lies in the hallway at the bottom of the spawn elevator; in solo it is always there, while other spots join in co-op, one key per player. Unlike the Black Ops II key, it is never used up: Kunjora’s guide gives it a 15-second cooldown between uses.

  1. Use the key on the panel of all eight elevator shafts, in any order: two in the Trample Steam room, one by the SVU-AS, the spawn elevator itself from the panel at the end of its hallway, two in the back corners of the power room, one down the slope from the rooftop and one alone at the back of the rooftop.
  2. CashWell warns that a use counts only once the key has gone all the way into the keyhole.
  3. A sound plays and the key turns gold on the HUD.

No cooldown

The Golden Elevator Key calls elevators without waiting.

Locking

It locks an elevator on its floor, for instance the Pack-a-Punch on the rooftop, and unlocks it again. A locked elevator shows a red key panel, since the updates of March 2025.

Two more perks

On two elevators of the power building, aiming and using the key swaps the machine: Double Tap for Stamin-Up and Juggernog for Deadshot, in Kunjora’s guide.

Another way to get it

The egg roll side quest “The Creature Hungers” also rewards it.

PhD Slider

In Black Ops II, a PhD Flopper machine could only be glimpsed from the falling elevator. The Workshop page puts it plainly: “After 12 years, players can finally purchase PhD Slider on Die Rise.”

  1. Get the Golden Elevator Key.
  2. With the spawn elevator down at the bottom, use the golden key on the panel at the end of its hallway, then run back into the elevator.
  3. As it rides up, repair the panel in the corner of the elevator itself.
  4. Stay inside: the elevator goes down to a hidden hallway with the PhD Slider machine, which stays open for the rest of the game.

PhD Slider

No explosive damage, no fall damage; a landing from a height or a full slide sets off an explosion. Kunjora adds that a fall off the map drops you back in the spawn room without going down; the update of March 12, 2025 made a fall cost the PhD cooldown and an explosion instead.

Electric Bowie Knife

  1. Buy the Galvaknuckles, down the elevator shaft of the broken tower.
  2. In the power room, melee the power switch with them: it lights up blue, and a 90-second timer starts from the last hit.
  3. Ride the elevator in the back left corner of the room to the rooftop and buy the Bowie Knife.
  4. Get back to the power switch before the 90 seconds are up and melee it with the knife.

The charged switch

The power switch lit blue by the Galvaknuckles: the 90 seconds are running. The Electric Bowie Knife is then a one-hit kill up to round 35, which Kunjora and CashWell both liken to the Golden Spork of Mob of the Dead. Each player does the quest on their own; once done, the switch stays lit, and a player who bleeds out only has to buy the knife again and hit the switch.

Free perks

As in Black Ops II, clearing a Jumping Jack round with 100% accuracy drops a free perk with the Max Ammo. Not firing at all counts: guides kill them with melee or let a Trample Steam do it. In the remaster, that bottle also raises the perk limit by one.
