The First Room

Round 1 at the train station, with 500 points and the Enfield No. 2: the lit front of a train on the left, a dead tree and the lit houses of the town behind, Wanted BO3 Custom, Call of Duty Black Ops III Zombies

Every game of Wanted begins at the train station, at the edge of the ghost town; the HUD writes the name of the area, “Train Station”, in the top left corner. The players start with 500 points and the Enfield No. 2 revolver, as the HUD shows in round 1 of the game of FPSpsycho, while the date “July 7, 1905” appears on screen. OGJasperG describes the station as the spawn, with a single door that leads to the main street and its buildings; the steam valve of the power stands on the left when leaving the spawn, according to Flapix.

Laggin24x notes that the wall weapons glow red so that they can be found in the dark, a visual cue added by the change notes of version 1.2, and mentions a double-barreled Remington in the spawn. In round 1, FPSpsycho walks from the station to an area that the HUD calls Farm Road, where a crack of lava burns in the ground; Laggin24x calls it a trench of fire and lava in the middle of the town. The spawn holds several pieces of the side quests and of the main quest, which the guides send the players back to throughout the game.

The Annihilator

The revolver of Dead of the Night waits at the train station from the start, locked in a glass case. FPSpsycho and Laggin24x both see it in the first minute. It is taken after the bell of the church and five clocks are shot with a Pack-a-Punched weapon.

The lava of Farm Road

The first zombies of the game come out by the crack of lava of Farm Road, close to the station. FPSpsycho burns on it in the first minute, and notes that its fire also kills zombies.

The fireplace

Its pipe is one of the stoves knifed for the Magmagat; Flapix places it at the exit of the spawn, against the barn. When the fireplace is lit, the Blundergat is placed in it. The image is a lit fireplace under a shelter, filmed by Sassy Asi at the moment the guide speaks of the fireplace of the spawn.

The well

The blue digit of the code of Pack-a-Punch is painted under the roof of the well, and changes every game. One of the two spots of the window of the shield is on a stone near it.

The window of the spawn

One of the four bells of the Great Scott: a Molotov thrown through the window of the train station, according to DosKit, OGJasperG and Flapix; DosKit aims at the cash register.

The flag of the train station

In the main quest, a flag appears on the roof of the train station once the bow is taken. Shot down, it raises a totem pole out of the lava, to be fed with souls.

Shovel and dig spots

Not So Serious Gaming, Laggin24x and Flapix find a shovel in the spawn, against the barn on the right according to Flapix. With it, the dig spots of the town give weapons, power-ups or a golden shovel.

A door of 1,750 points

In round 2, FPSpsycho finds a door of debris by the lava that costs 1,750 points; no source says whether it is the door of the spawn.

The barn of the spawn

Flapix places Electric Cherry in the barn on the right when leaving the spawn. It stays locked until the Annihilator is taken.

Perks

The machines move from game to game. In one of the games of FPSpsycho, Mule Kick stood at the spawn.

Enemies

Zombies. WOOLF and Pankake101 come back to the wide space of the spawn to fight Leroy, the boss of the main quest, with its dogs.

Overview

Wanted is a custom Zombies map for Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PC, made by ZeRoY and posted on the Steam Workshop on February 22, 2019. Its Workshop page sets the tone in one line: in “a totally wonky and parallel universe”, Edward Richtofen, Nikolai Belinsky, Nero Blackstone and Scarlett Rhodes find themselves in a ghost town somewhere in Arizona, where they are “Wanted” by just about everything that moves. ZeRoY adds that the map “was made with fun in mind, not cannon”.

ZeRoY started the map in March 2018 and estimates having spent “well over 1000h” on it, “as custom as it gets for BlackOps 3 Zombies”: HUD, zombies, AI, perks, weapons, effects, models, sounds and mechanics are modded. Most weapons come “directly from the era”, with a few more recent ones added for balance. Many of the weapons and models were commissioned from the modeler and animator DivineFury. The page also promises side quests and “many small easter eggs”, and ends on a challenge: “see if you can be the fastest shot in the West!”

Carson & Co. Mercantile

The store of the main street, under its sign “Carson & Co. Mercantile”. Not So Serious Gaming calls it Carson and Co, Laggin24x Carson and company; the guides list its counter among the spots of the skulls, and call it the Grocery store.

Characters

The four players are Edward Richtofen, Nikolai Belinsky, Nero Blackstone and Scarlett Rhodes. FPSpsycho finds wanted posters of the characters in the town; one of them, on the Saloon, promises a $100,000 reward for Richtofen and Nikolai.

Enemies

The werewolf

Summoned by the two skulls of the Graveyard, on the way to Pack-a-Punch. OGJasperG traces it to Dead of the Night. It takes a lot of ammo, and Flapix says there are more of them with more players.

Leroy

The final boss, named Arthur Leroy on its health bar, in a cowboy hat, with dogs that keep spawning. The change notes of version 1.7 lowered the health of the bosses.

Zombies

The common enemy, custom like most of the map: the Workshop page lists the zombies and the AI among its modded content.

Bats

Flying parasites, which FPSpsycho meets early in the game. The change notes fixed “a bug with infinite Bat spawning” in version 1.1 and enabled projectile damage on bats in version 1.2.

Ghost witches

The special round 12, with the ghosts of Buried, which steal points; the last one drops the key of the church.

Doctor Emmett Brown

Not an enemy: he appears when Pack-a-Punch opens and runs away. Killed in time, he drops a Thundergun.

Perks

Ten machines, some in fixed spots and others random, and a limit of eight perks. Power comes from a steam valve on the Hotel. Electric Cherry stays locked until the Annihilator is taken. The GobbleGum machine has to be filled before it works.

Weapons

“Many weapons, most directly from the era with a few more recent added for balance”, says the Workshop page. The HUD of the guides shows the Enfield No. 2 of the start, the Model 1887, the Lewis, the Colt Single Action Army, the Ranger, the Crossbow and the Gatling Gun 1887 of the Death Machine. Laggin24x also names a double-barreled Remington, and FPSpsycho finds that the grenades look like sticks of dynamite; the change notes of version 1.4 put an Ice Pick on a wall in place of a shovel. No source read for this book gives a full list of the wall weapons or their prices.

Crossbow

A wall weapon, drawn in glowing red chalk on a post: FPSpsycho buys it in round 3. Laggin24x warns that its bolts do not go where they are aimed.

Mystery Box

Sassy Asi finds it in the Back Alley, for 950 points. In the game of FPSpsycho, the commentary names the Olympia, the Mosin-Nagant, the Homunculus of Black Ops 4 and the Blundergat among the weapons it gives, and the HUD shows a Mini Blundergat. Flapix names its two special weapons: the Blundergat and the Mini Blundergat, dual-wielded.

Six wonder weapons can be had: the Acidgat and the Magmagat, from the Blundergat; the Great Scott; the Annihilator; the Thundergun, dropped by Doc Brown; and the Wunderwaffe DG-2, given by a code. The main quest adds a bow and the Hell’s Retriever.

The six wonder weapons, step by step

Buildables

Two crafting tables build the zombie shield, made of a skull, a pelvis and a window, and the acid kit of the Acidgat. Shovels dig up the dig spots of the town.

The parts of the shield and of the acid kit, and the shovels

Lava

A crack of lava crosses the town. FPSpsycho burns on it in the first minute, and notes that its fire kills zombies too. In the main quest, the totem poles rise out of it.

Easter egg

The main quest repairs the DeLorean of Doc Brown, parked in the barn, to escape the town. Its four parts come from two totems, a third totem behind the portal of the church, and Leroy.

  1. Turn on the power, find two skulls and place them in the Graveyard; kill the werewolf.
  2. Open the case by the barn with its key and enter the three colored digits: Pack-a-Punch opens.
  3. Survive the ghost round 12 and take the key of the church.
  4. Go through the portal of the church and take the bow.
  5. Shoot the flags of the Grocery store and the train station, and feed the two totems: flux capacitor and clock.
  6. Feed the last totem behind the portal.
  7. Start the fight in the circle of the Graveyard and kill Leroy for the plutonium.
  8. Put the parts in the DeLorean and escape.

Trivia

  • ZeRoY writes that the map draws on “a certain trilogy of movies” without naming it; Laggin24x and Sassy Asi see the tributes to Back to the Future Part III: Doc Brown, the DeLorean, the flux capacitor, the plutonium and the Great Scott.
  • The Workshop page asks streamers and YouTubers to avoid the gramophone of the Hotel and the code 115, because of the copyright of the music.
  • The change notes mention a Savage Impaler and its side quest, which no guide read for this book explains, and a place called Wolf Camp.
  • FPSpsycho calls the Leroy fight “harder than any boss fight I’ve ever done”.
