Starting weapons

Every player of The Iron Dragon starts with the Mauser C96, the pistol held at round 1 in every guide and record watched for this book. The weapons of the map mix Black Ops III with weapons of Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare (2019), which the Workshop credits to TheSkyeLord; the Black Ops III weapons are credited to Harry Bo21.

Last stand

The update of June 3, 2023 fixed a bug that took the Boomhilda away from a solo player who went down with Quick Revive, and changed the pistol given when downed to the Death & Taxes.

Wall weapons

No source gives the price of each wall weapon. These are the wall buys that the guides and records place on the map:

Mystery Box

The guides place a Mystery Box spot on the bridge, by the Wundersphere launch pad, which DKnight 115 calls its first location. No source lists its other spots or its weapons.

Wonder weapons

The Ragnarok DG-4 planted in the crypt of the bows, with its controls on screen, The Iron Dragon, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

Ragnarok DG-4

A buildable specialist weapon here, credited to Sphynx. It is needed for the boss fight of the main quest.

Wrath of the Ancients

The bow of Der Eisendrache, earned by feeding the three dragon heads, and upgraded into the Void, Fire, Storm and Wolf bows. The Workshop credits the elemental bows to Harry Bo21 and lists “4 Upgradeable Bow Quests” among the features of the map.

Building the Ragnarok DG-4

  1. In the orb room at the top of the castle, a door leads to a room with three switches and a gate sealed by a yellow mist.
  2. Each switch turns one of the blocks above the gate. Set them so that the blocks read DG4: Glitching Queen gives the sequence first switch twice, second switch once, third switch three times. The code is the same in every game, DKnight 115 says.
  3. The gate opens on stairs and three small rooms, each with one part of the Ragnarok.
  4. Build it at any crafting table.

The sealed gate

The blocks above it must read DG4. A player on the Workshop discussions wrote the code as 0-9-4.

Patch notes

The update of July 30, 2023 added clues for the sealed lever gate: its code can now be found on clipboards around the map.

Crafting tables

Three crafting tables, according to the Map Guide and Not So Serious Gaming: at the bottom of the Origins church, on the left of the GKS wall buy; in the church room of Der Eisendrache, on the right of the dragon head; and in the crypt of the bows. Sassy Asi and YaBoyBadger advise keeping the table of the crypt for the shield, since the boss fight takes place there.
