Longinus’ Legacy

The new wonder weapon of Vae Victis is a spear. Thrown, it slows the enemies around it; reloading makes every thrown spear explode. It takes a weapon slot, so YaBoyBadger advises Mule Kick, and it is required for a step of the main quest. The official walkthrough calls its quest Archon’s Awakening. It can start on the second wave or later.

Go to the dead forest just outside Nuketown. Some trees there have faces. Kill zombies in front of them to feed them souls: when full, a tree vomits loot, and one of them gives the staff of the spear. YaBoyBadger fills every tree until a golden branch appears.
Go to the middle of the wooden bridge of TranZit, between the church and the diner. Shoot the purple crystal in the rafters, then catch it before it hits the ground. If it lands, it goes back up. The walkthrough and Watchful Wolf both recommend a keyboard: Watchful Wolf could not catch it with a controller.
Take the staff and the crystal to the green pool below the lighthouse mountain, on the side of the Bus Depot, and place them in the water.
Kill zombies near the spear to fill it with souls. When it is full, ARTEMIS announces the reward: Longinus’ Legacy.

The trees with faces

The trees of the dead forest near Nuketown. The Prophet calls them Jubokko, “dark spirits of the erased”.

The crystal

Hanging in the rafters of the bridge, it falls when shot.

The green pool

The pool shown by Flapix in the chapter on the spear, where the spear is assembled and fed with souls.

A Steam player who lost the spear by placing it in the Mule Kick slot asked how to get it back; no answer gives a sure way. The update of January 29, 2024 gave the spear a major damage buff and made the crystal easier to catch on a controller.

Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23

The Jet Gun of TranZit. It does not break: it only cools down when it overheats, and it can be upgraded at the Pack-a-Punch, says Watchful Wolf. The official walkthrough calls its quest Jetgun Joyride.

Open the bowling alley of Town with a key.
Knock down the pins of every lane by bouncing grenades off them. The walkthrough insists: the pins must fall to the impact of the grenade itself, not to its explosion.
An orange orb appears and circles the traffic lights in the center of Town. Shoot it.
Once hurt enough, it flies to a Mystery Box and circles it. Hit the box while it glows to get the Jet Gun for free.

The bowling alley

Four lanes under purple neon lights; the pins must fall to bouncing grenades.

From the box

YaBoyBadger got the Jet Gun from the Mystery Box after only a few spins, in both games played on the map at the time, so the quest is not the only way.

Scavenger

The sniper rifle of Call of the Dead, whose blast can launch a jumping player into the air. YaBoyBadger calls it “super good in this map” and builds it before anything else. Its quest is the Scavenger Hunt.

Find three colored numbers around the lighthouse: a red one on a tree facing Nuketown, a blue one on the roof of the cave where Call of the Dead started, and a green one on a rock at the back edge of the high cliff of the lighthouse mountain. The numbers change from game to game.
Climb the lighthouse. Its top floors each have a colored dial: turn each one to the number of its color.
When it is right, the closet teleporter of the Ultimis crew comes to life and the game says the quest is complete.
The closet has a key door. Open it with a key to take a free Scavenger.

Blue

Sliquifier

The goop gun of Die Rise: zombies fall in its liquid and explode in a chain, and a player who falls on the goop bounces back up. Its quest is Sliquifier’s Synthesis.

At Area 51, the office building of Broken Arrow has a section behind a key door. Open it and take the unfinished Sliquifier from an office room.
Just off the edge of the Die Rise dragon, near the lighthouse, a fire extinguisher floats in the air. Jump from the dragon and grab it.
With both parts, place the empty Sliquifier on a jump pad. It absorbs some liquid and bounces away toward Nuketown.
Follow the golden trail in the sky. The Sliquifier waits in the cul-de-sac of Nuketown, near the dead forest, under a bright yellow beam.

The update of January 29, 2024 buffed its damage, range and explosion time, so that it “will feel closer to a wunderwaffe now”.

Fling Grenades and Monkey Bombs

Two side quests improve tactical items. Dauber’s Diatribe gives Fling Grenades that respawn forever (see the side quests page). A Steam player describes the upgrade of the Monkey Bombs: throw a Monkey Bomb into each of the three green lamps of Town; the monkey then glows gold and moves near the gas station of Nuketown, where it must be fed souls before it drops the Dubstep Monkey. The guide of Flapix has a chapter on the upgraded monkey.
