How building works

As on TranZit and Die Rise, the buildables of Buried are made from parts found around the map and carried to a workbench. On Buried, nearly every part sits in one building: the General Store, next to the first Mystery Box spot. Once built, any player can take the item, as long as they are not already carrying another buildable.

Leroy builds too

Give him Candy next to a workbench, and he collects the parts and builds the item in one go. If a player already holds one of its parts, that player still has to place it.

One item at a time

A buildable takes your equipment slot.

They wear out

Placed buildables break after heavy use or zombie attacks.

Turbine

The portable power source of TranZit returns. On Buried, its only job is to power the Subsurface Resonator.

Mannequin

In the back right corner of the back room, ground floor of the General Store.

The fan, the Turbine part, on a shelf upstairs in the General Store in Buried, Call of Duty Black Ops II Zombies

Fan

On a desk immediately to the right in the back room, upstairs.

Tail

On the shelves on the far left of the ground floor, entering by the front door.

Trample Steam

Back from Die Rise. Placed on the ground, it flings whatever steps on it: zombies die, players fly. It saves you from fall damage, and it can clear the gate in front of the mansion.

Flag

In a barrel under the staircase.

Grate

Upstairs, leaning against the banister.

Steam motor

On the middle shelves of the main room, below the half-fallen shelf.

Bellows

On the table of the back room upstairs.

Head Chopper

The only buildable that exists on Buried alone: a big saw on a stand. Thrown on the floor or a wall, it anchors itself and swings at anything that comes close, cutting zombies in half. It hurts players too, unless they crouch under a wall-mounted blade. It ignores Leroy and needs a short recharge after many swings.

Stand

In the back room, ground floor.

Crank

On the shelf in the middle of the store.

Hinge

On the counter at the back of the store.

Saw, the Head Chopper part, model render, Call of Duty Black Ops II Zombies

Saw

In a barrel at the back of the store.

Subsurface Resonator

A speaker on a roulette wheel that drops a sonic blast: it kills zombies close by and knocks back the ones further away. It only works with a Turbine next to it; give Leroy Candy beside it and he fetches one. The game files call it the subwoofer.

Wheel

Leaning against the wall, right of the doorway to the back room, ground floor.

Mount

Against the wall down the hallway towards the back door.

Speaker

On a counter in front of the Weapon Locker.

Motor

In a corner at the top of the staircase.

Killing zombies with it ten times earns Death From Below, and Maxis’ side of the Easter egg uses it to destroy four red orbs.

NAV Table

The table that links the three Victis maps. It is built in Processing, the First Room, under the railing where you spawn, and its parts only appear on Original difficulty. Once built by everyone in the game, it stays built in later games.

The Buried Navcard on a bookshelf of the mansion, Hold F to take Navcard in Buried, Call of Duty Black Ops II Zombies

The Navcard

The Buried card sits on a bookshelf of the mansion, on the maze side. It goes into the TranZit table, and Buried’s table takes the card from Die Rise.

Radio, table and electrical box

On the floor, in the corners behind the stables of the Barn.

Meteorite

In Processing, next to the build spot.

The trip back

Each part found below has to be carried up to Processing through the fountain portal, so the fountains must be broken first.
