Starting loadout
Every game of Die Rise starts with an M1911, the knife and frag grenades. The spawn room, the First Room, sells a single weapon: the Olympia, for 500 points, to the right of the first door.

Wall buys
With fourteen of them, Die Rise has more wall buys than any other Zombies map, and the most assault rifles and sniper rifles on the walls, three of each. In the upside-down building, the wall buys hang upside down.
| Weapon | Cost | Location |
|---|---|---|
 Olympia | 500 | Spawn room, right of the first door (First Room) |
 M14 | 500 | Top floor, next to the Quick Revive elevator, behind the first door |
 PDW-57 | 1000 | One floor below the spawn room, by the Quick Revive shaft |
 B23R | 1000 | The Trample Steam room |
 SVU-AS | 1000 | Upper level of the mall, down the broken staircase behind the Quick Revive elevator |
 Colt M16A1 | 1200 | Upside-down building, next to the first Mystery Box |
 AN-94 | 1200 | Upside-down building, facing the exit of the inverted elevator shaft |
 Galvaknuckles | 6000 | Upside-down building, a small room on the right after the drop down the broken shaft |
 MP5 | 1000 | Second tower, near the kitchen |
 Remington 870 MCS | 1500 | Second tower, lowest floor, hallway with a single elevator |
 AK-74u | 1200 | Second tower, outside on the lowest floor you can reach |
| Bowie Knife | 3000 | Second tower, top of the elevator shaft nearest the power |
 Claymore | 1000 | Dragon rooftop, narrow hallway next to the skylight |
 Semtex | 250 | Dragon rooftop |
When you buy the SVU-AS, Richtofen speaks to Stuhlinger, and Maxis to the three others, about the Easter egg. PDW-57, AN-94 and SVU-AS only exist on Die Rise and Buried: put one in the fridge and take it out on TranZit, and you get a Chicom CQB, a Galil or a FAL instead.
Melee weapons
Galvaknuckles
6000 points. One punch kills a zombie until round 14, and a Jumping Jack until the fourth Jumping Jack round. They strike the tower in the last step of High Maintenance.
Bowie Knife
3000 points. One-hit kills from round 1 to 9, and on Jumping Jacks until their third round.
Melee kills are the easiest way to clear a Jumping Jack round without missing a shot, and earn the free perk: see the Jumping Jacks page.
Sliquifier
The wonder weapon of Die Rise is built, not bought: four parts, one workbench, in the tower with the power switch. It fires a purple liquid that leaves a slippery puddle; zombies that touch it explode, and the blast chains from one to the next, so a single shot can wipe out a whole group. Only one player can take it from the workbench; once it is lost or swapped, it goes into the Mystery Box. A Max Ammo refills it. Since a patch, it stops doing damage at round 100. Parts and spots are on the buildables page.
Mystery Box
950 points a spin. It starts every game in the upside-down building, standing upside down like everything there, and can also move to the Food Court and to a hidden corner of the dragon rooftop, next to a perk elevator.
It holds the Five-Seven (single and dual wield), KAP-40, Python, Executioner, Chicom CQB, SMR, FAL, M8A1, Type 25, MTAR, Galil, M1216, S12, Barrett M82A1, DSR 50, HAMR, RPD, Ballistic Knife, War Machine, RPG, Ray Gun, Monkey Bombs, the Ray Gun Mark II once Vengeance is installed, and the Sliquifier once it has been built.
Ballistic Knife
Pack-a-Punched into the Krauss Refibrillator, it is needed on Maxis’ side of the Easter egg.
Ray Gun Mark II
Added to the Box by the Vengeance map pack, with Buried.
Teddy bear
As on TranZit and Buried, the Box flies away and Richtofen says “Bye bye”.
Ray Gun on the wall
Players who hold the Ray Gun wall-buy Persistent Upgrade get a Ray Gun for 500 points from the Olympia wall buy. On Die Rise it even works offline, for the length of a game. Since the Olympia is the spawn room’s own wall buy, the upgrade is banned on the First Room board. How to earn it is on the Persistent Upgrades page.
In a First Room game
With the doors closed, the Olympia is the only weapon you can buy, besides the M1911 and grenades you start with. No Box, no M14, no Ray Gun from the wall.
