Die Rise BO3 Custom: Side Quests

The supporter side quests

On top of the Black Ops II secrets, Die Rise BO3 Custom hides side quests “fully designed by Patreon supporters”, in the words of the Workshop page. They came in waves: the update of March 26, 2025 added six quests and songs, the one of August 16, 2025 eleven more. They can be switched off: Grave’s guide tells you to make sure “supporter side quests are enabled” before the game starts, and the update of August 16, 2025 fixed one quest “not being disabled on quest toggle off”.

Dobby pinned a list of them on the Workshop page, with a community guide “discovered by the community, steps verified by me”, kept as a Google Doc by AydEtchy. The steps below come from that guide, checked against Grave’s optimized solo guide, which does almost all of them in one game. The guide itself warns that its steps “may be incorrect or flawed”.

Weapons to earn

A red devil mask of the Nunchucks upgrade lying on a kitchen counter, with its pick-up prompt, Die Rise BO3 Custom, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

Meng Longguo Liang

Melee a picture frame of the Buddha room to reveal a safe. Three televisions, in the Remington hallway, by the Sliquifier stock and in the blue Mystery Box room, each take 10 souls, then show a Chinese numeral when meleed: red, green and blue give the code. The safe gives the Nunchucks; after 50 kills with them, four devil masks and a lockdown in the spawn room turn them into the Shao Zi Gun, which hits several zombies at once.

Free Upgraded Galil

In the Trample Steam room, shoot the five lanterns above the workbench in the order 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, then knife the name “COLTER” by the elevator button. A Pack-a-Punched Galil appears on the wall to its right, for one player per game.

Jake & Josh

Collect four game cases, Black Ops on a shelf of the blue Mystery Box room on the roof of the power building, Black Ops II on a chair in the Remington hallway, Black Ops III under a table of the NavCard room, Black Ops 4 under the ramp of the Buddha room; then fill a boarded window by the Semtex with 35 souls. The reward is a pair of Five-seven pistols with 50% more damage, “The Quiet Ones” once Pack-a-Punched.

Agent 47

Reach round 47 and a WA2000 waits under the ramp by the dragon sign. The guide gives it 47 times the damage of the base Barrett M82A1; Pack-a-Punched it becomes “Agent 47”. One player per game.

Mr. Peeks’ Upgrade Station

Pick up the laser sight by a computer behind the desk of the spawn room, then find the gun frame, the red dot sight, the suppressor, the extended mag and the stock, and bring them to a crate behind the Sliquifier workbench. The M1216 built there gains 10% damage per attachment on the table, and the Mr. Peeks plush on the crate Pack-a-Punches it for 5000 points.

Elevate & Detonate

A note in the PhD room shows “Semtex + Elevator”. With the power on, throw a Semtex on the green generator of three elevators of the dragon tower roof, then one into the Pack-a-Punch while they smoke. The upgraded Semtex is then sold on the note for 4500 points.

The Final Departure

Load the game with the clan tag [DivX]: a new intro shows the Icarus plane, which circles the map all game, and “Lydia” by Highly Suspect plays. Kill GoldTU8E: he rides the plane for the rest of the game, and standing near the stairs of the dragon sign tower roof makes him send “GoldTU8E’s Gift” there. The reward is “GoldTU8E’s World Destroyer”.

Power-ups and perks

Thick and handsome

With the power on, buy Who’s Who, then Quick Revive, then Juggernog, in that order: 5000 points in solo, 6000 in co-op. The reward plays at once, for that player only.

Icy Tempest

Get through a Jumping Jack round without taking damage from them. The Icy Tempest AAT appears on the table across from the NavCard, in the NavCard room. Grave compares it to the Winter’s Howl.

The Little Dragon

Shoot the small statue out of a dragon statue of the Buddha room, then launch it with a Trample Steam locked on the gold symbol of the catwalk by the Semtex, at the balloon that floats by the Maxis dragon sign. It drops eight Carpenters and one free weapon upgrade.

Art of Power

Find four spray cans, in the sushi restaurant, by the cage of GoldTU8E, at the foot of the dragon sign tower and behind the AN-94, then use the wall across from the dragon mural of the sushi restaurant. A Pack-a-Punch power-up appears and “115” by Kevin Sherwood plays.

Hairy little friends!

Three guinea pig pictures, in the Sliquifier room, the sushi restaurant and the blue dining room, make a donut appear in a kitchen; knife it five times. Every player gets Widow’s Wine or Electric Cherry, and both join the free perk drops.

The Creature Hungers

A cat photo at the bottom of the power building sends three egg rolls around the map, each to be knifed twice as it teleports and then picked up. The plate earns the Golden Elevator Key, or a free perk if you have it. Grave thinks the second egg roll cannot be reached in time in solo.

Killed Cookies

Shoot 9, 3 and 5 on the clock of the first Mystery Box room: a plate of cookies gives each player one GobbleGum: Flavor Hexed in the community guide, a random Mega GobbleGum in Grave’s.

Rooms to unlock

The Smoke Room

Shoot three ashtrays in order, on one of three sets of spots drawn each game, some of them in or by the spawn room, then use the door nearest the elevator in the hallway under the spawn room. Inside, the zombies cannot reach you. Grave got it to work only once.

The Dragon Display

Start it at the warning sign of the generator by the Claymore, shoot two dragon statues, dislodge a table of the Buddha room with ten Sliquifier shots, fill both statues with 15 souls on the square tables of the spawn room, and build a trading table that holds a weapon, or passes it to another player.

GoldTU8E, the golden Jumping Jack

A golden Jumping Jack waits in the cage under the roof of the dragon sign. Shot, he pays 500 points for every round he has survived; leave him past round 40 and every player loses Juggernog and the reward is gone. The update of March 3, 2025 fixed “GoldTU8E not spawning in”.
