The Winter’s Howl

The Winter’s Howl is the wonder weapon of Five, a freezing pistol. In Five Remastered, XcDylan93 overhauled it, and FPSpsycho and several players on the Workshop page find it much better than in 2010, though others still call it weak. In Legacy it is in the Mystery Box from the start. In Modernized it has to be built first from three parts; after that it can also come out of the Box. Tinhorn collects the parts before the main quest, Sassy Asi after the recorders.

The three parts

The grip

In a hidden office, reached with the GobbleGum Anywhere But Here.

The barrel

Dropped by a Nova crawler: get kills in the labs until one drops it.

The cylinder

Dropped by the Pentagon Thief, killed before he grabs a weapon. If he gets away, Sassy Asi says to wait “until the next max ammo round”.

For the grip, the gum can come from the GobbleGum machine if it is in the loadout; otherwise one of the glass jars of the labs holds it, on a shelf of the power room, on a counter of the room of the pig, or across from Stamin-Up. With the power on, chewing it sends the player to an office room; without power, Sassy Asi warns, it does not. The grip lies on the desk with the recorders, on the table in the middle of the room, or on the table left of the green filing cabinet, and there is little time to pick it up before being sent back.

The office

The hidden room of the grip, with its desks and filing cabinets.

The weapon is built on the table of the weapons testing room, the first room on the left out of the elevator in the labs.

The Winter’s Howl held over the blueprint table of the weapons testing room in Legacy, where the prompt reads Unavailable in Legacy, Five Remastered, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

The workbench in Legacy

The same blueprint table in a Legacy game: the Winter’s Howl is not built there, and the prompt reads “Unavailable in Legacy”.

Winter’s Fury

Pack-a-Punched, the Winter’s Howl becomes the Winter’s Fury. One player reported on the Workshop page that its damage drops sharply after round 20.

The Tundra Gun reward

The Tundra Gun is the reward of the main quest in Modernized. Once the last ritual circle is filled, it waits in the weapons testing room of the labs: Sassy Asi opens the cabinet to the right of the GobbleGum machine, Tinhorn picks it up “in the cage”. A high-round player on the Workshop page praises its infinite damage. After that, TNT says, it is also in the Box.
