[UPDATED 2023] FULL DIE MASCHINE MAIN EASTER EGG GUIDE | Cold War Zombies

New to Cold War Zombies in 2023 and want to do the Die Maschine Main Easter Egg? Here’s a guide thanks to DETONATED Writers Pax and ShoneMonster! Here’s Everything you need to know about Die Maschine:

RETURN to Morsako, Poland and uncover the horrors of PROJEKT ENDSTATION…

Turning on Power

Navigate to the main power room underground to turn on the main power.

After turning on the main power, head outside to the Particle Accelerator where you will have to activate two terminals – one on the left, and one on the right.

Pack-A-Punching

After activating the two terminals in the Particle Accelerator room, an anomaly will spawn in the center of the room.

After teleporting to the Dark Aether you will see an objective on your HUD, upon reaching the objective you will see a teleporter taking you down to one of two rooms that include a Pack-A-Punch part: the Medical Bay, or the Weapons Lab.

Below are the both locations of the parts:

After collecting the part, go back to the Pack-A-Punch and attach the part, and congratulations, you have unlocked pack-a-punch!

Obtaining The Free D.I.E Shockwave Wonder-Weapon

After a Megaton spawns in, kill him & he will drop a Keycard. Take it to the control panel in the Weapons Lab and activate it.

A drawer will open giving you the option to collect the D.I.E Remote Control.

After collecting the D.I.E Remote Control, head over to the bottom floor of Nacht.

Near the end of the room, there should be an option to turn on the D.I.E Remote Control.

NOTE: before you do this, make sure you have a horde of zombies that are ready to be killed – once activating the remote control, there will be a suction trap that will kill zombies that walk past the door next to the prompt. After killing the required amount of zombies, you will hear dialogue from the D.I.E Shockwave it’s-self saying the door is ready to be opened.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: this is not necessary, you can get it from either the box or from redeeming legendary rewards from trials.

Interact with the remote control again, & the door will blast off with a free D.I.E Machine wonder-weapon sitting in the hands of a skeleton.

Building All D.I.E Shockwave Variants

D.I.E Cryo-Emitter

Head over to Nacht roof (Penthouse), and shoot the box shown below with your D.I.E Shockwave to destroy it and drop a flask below.

After shooting the box down, go to the location where the box fell down and pick up the empty Flask.

Once picking up the empty flask, directly behind you should be a tree with a purple mushroom, make the Megaton shoot the purple mushroom and place the flask underneath it.

NOTE: You will be able to tell when it’s finished when the flask is full and has a yellow outline.

Once the flask is full, take it down the Cryo-Emitter box, interact with it to break the chains and the Cryo-Emitter is complete.

D.I.E Electrobolt

Directly under the Pack-A-Punch will be a portal for the D.I.E Electrobolt, use this portal and there will be 3 electric crystals around the map, shown below:

With each of these crystals, you must go up to it, suck the electricity out of the crystal, take it back down to the D.I.E Electrobolt crate and shoot at the crate with the electric element on the end of the wonder-weapon.

Repeat this with all 3 crystals, and once finished you can return to the crate for the final time and collect the D.I.E Electrobolt.

D.I.E Thermophasic

Close to where you picked up the flask for the cryo-emitter, there will be a portal to the Dark Aether, take it and head over to the crashed plane wing which will be floating and a D.I.E Thermophasic part will be shown.

After collecting the part, head downstairs and in front of Deadshot Daiquiri (located in Weapons Lab) will be a plasma cutter machine opposite.

Once you have interacted with the machine, bring it to the D.I.E Thermophilic crate on the truck next to the mushroom tree to collect your D.I.E Thermophasic.

D.I.E Nova

On the Nacht roof (Mezzanine), there will be a gas canister laying on a shelf, to obtain it you must use the suck feature on the D.I.E Shockwave.

After picking it up, take the gas canister to Deadshot Daiquiri and place it. Kill a dog near the canister and it will fill up.

Once it is filled up, bring it to the D.I.E Nova crate located in the Crash Site, interact with it, and then shoot it with the D.I.E Shockwave, unlocking the Nova variant.

Step 1 | Main Easter Egg

Collecting & Building The Aether Scope Parts

NOTE: the first Aether Scope you acquire WILL always spawn by the Dark Aether portal you interacted with.

For example: The Aether Portal that spawned in our game was at the Penthouse Roof and the Aether Scope was at spawn.

Here are the locations and their corresponding parts:

Nacht Roof / Wunderfizz: Spawn Room
Particle Accelerator: Teleporter to Nacht Bottom
Quick Revive / Tree: Destroyed Plane Wing

After collecting all three Aether Scope parts, head over to the buildable bench behind the pack-a-punch in the Particle Accelerator room and build + collect the Aether Scope.

STEP 2 | Dr Vogel’s Diary

After building the Aether Scope you are now onto the next step!

Head upstairs in the Medical Bay and interact with the computer.

Travel to the Dark Aether and return to the computer. Next to the computer where you enter the password, there should be a book, pick it up.

After picking up Dr Vogel’s Diary, a portal will spawn nearby. Interact with the portal, and you will be teleported to the Dark Aether where you can interact with three Anomalies shown below.

NOTE: You do not have to listen to Vogel’s conversation when giving him his diary.

Once finished interacting with the 3 Anomalies you will be teleported back to the real world.

STEP 3 | Fixing The Containment Chamber

Once you’ve built each wonder weapon upgrade, bring them to each of their corresponding levers and shoot the lever to lift it up.

After shooting all 4 levers, there will be a portal between Med Bay and Particle Accelerator, enter it and behind the computer you entered the password into (in Med Bay), there is an anomaly where upon interacting, you will receive a Wrench after teleporting back to the real world.

Take the wrench to the spawn, interact with the tank to fix it. Keep interacting with it until a zombie pops out, kill it and then throw a grenade/semtex on top of the tank so it will shoot a tree.

Step 4 | Decontamination Agent

Head over to the broken plane wing, pick up the Decontamination Agent and bring it to where you picked up the Wrench to install it.

NOTE: when you pick up the decontamination agent your movement speed will be slower, so make sure you’re doing this with one zombie & stamin-up OR if playing co-op your friend is holding the zombie for you.

After placing the decontamination agent, get a Megaton split and walk them both under the contamination chamber so they are both sucked into it. Then go to the computer in the Med Bay and interact with it.

STEP 5 | Meeting Orlov & The Family Photo

After the cutscene plays and Orlov runs into the map, go to the bottom floor of Die Maschine (where you built the D.I.E wonder-weapon), interact with the portal and after teleporting an Anomaly will be in the corner of the other room.

Upon interacting you will see Orlov appear talking about his family and what happened to him, after the cutscene is finished he will drop the family photo and you will return to the normal world.

IMPORTANT: make sure you are set up before picking up the family photo as there is no return!

STEP 6 | BOSS FIGHT

When entering the boss fight you will see Orlov talk for around 30-40 seconds before the actual boss fight starts.

The main objective of the first boss fight stage is to:

Defend Orlov in 3 different locations for 30 seconds each without him being disrupted. (Time may be longer if he is disrupted.)

After you have defended Orlov 3 times, you have to get to the top and exfil whilst avoiding the lighting. A video will be shown below showing the route we took in our playthrough.

After you’ve made it to the surface, make it to the exfil location safely and upon exfiling, congratulations!
