Schildblitz | ZFRR Hub

Schildblitz (“Shield Blitz”) is one of the six Blitz of Call of Duty: WWII Nazi Zombies, the machines that take the place of the perks and give their power through an electric shock to the left hand. Each time the player reloads, a burst of electricity goes off around them, hurting and stunning the zombies close by. Despite its name it is not an armor: in WWII that role belongs to the Geistschild.

In the First Room

Schildblitz has no machine in any First Room of the site; it can only come up there by chance, on one map. In Gröesten Haus, whose First Room is the whole farmhouse, the Random Blitz stands upstairs, in the hallway between the two staircases: for 2,000 Jolts it grants one Blitz drawn at random, then needs about two minutes before it can be used again. The map has no other Blitz machine, and Call of Duty Fandom lists Schildblitz among the Blitz that machine can give.

On the four other maps Schildblitz is not in the First Room: the books of The Final Reich, The Darkest Shore, The Shadowed Throne and The Frozen Dawn all give Lebenblitz as the only Blitz of their First Room. The records are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Schildblitz only exists in Call of Duty: WWII, so there is a single version of it.

The machine

It stands at a fixed spot on each map, except in Gröesten Haus.

Cost

2,000 Jolts, the same in solo and in co-op.

Effect

Reloading releases a burst of electricity around the player, which damages and stuns the zombies near them. According to Fandom, the damage of the burst depends on the share of the magazine that was used before the reload.

A player can hold four Blitz at once, unless the Hoarder mod or one of the quest rewards of the game raises that limit. A downed player loses their Blitz one by one, in the order they were bought, the longer they stay down; each lost Blitz can be bought again.

Where to find it

Call of Duty: WWII: The Final Reich, Gröesten Haus (through the Random Blitz only), The Darkest Shore, The Shadowed Throne, the three chapters of The Tortured Path (Into the Storm, Across the Depths, Beneath the Ice), Bodega Cervantes, U.S.S. Mount Olympus, Altar of Blood and The Frozen Dawn. The book of each map says where the machine stands.

Schildblitz works like Electric Cherry in the Treyarch games and Blue Bolts in Infinite Warfare. Since it triggers on the reload, it goes hand in hand with Schnellblitz, the reload Blitz.
