Der Riese

BO1 PC : available Xbox : available PlayStation : available Plutonium : available

The Giant, the Group 935 factory where the teleporters were built and where Pack-a-Punch appears for the first time. Der Riese is where the story of Zombies actually begins, and where most of the series lore is written on the walls.

Three teleporters to link to the mainframe, the Wunderwaffe DG-2 in the box, the fly trap in the courtyard, and the first real easter egg the community hunted. It is also the map that set the template every later one follows: power, perks, Pack-a-Punch, a wonder weapon.

The First Room is the courtyard by the fly trap. It is generous by Der Riese standards, and that is exactly the trap: the open ground lets you run early, then turns against you once the horde fills it. Two windows and the catwalk above are the only pressure points, and they are enough.

Fast, not far

A First Room speedrun is the opposite exercise of a high round : the room is the same, the goal is not. Instead of holding the spawn as long as possible, you clear the set number of rounds as fast as you can.

Which means the two boards never mix. A run that ranks first here would sit far down a high round board, and the other way around.

The rules are those of the room itself : no leaving the spawn, no exploit that skips it. What changes is the clock — it starts when the player spawns into the map and stops when the number of the next round appears.

Every time is backed by its video, as everywhere else on ZFRR. Send yours through the contact form and it goes up within the day.
