Wonder Weapon Winter's Howl

Intel Brief

World leaders fight for survival in the Pentagon war room on the day of the JFK assassination, as the undead and the Pentagon Thief hunt them down.

Setup Guide

Power

  1. Open down from spawn into lower levels and switch on power in the basement.

Pack-a-Punch Location

War Room teleporter room rotation (DEFCON sequence).

Accessing Pack-a-Punch

  1. Lower DEFCON to 5 by activating all required terminals.
  2. Use the central teleporter to enter Pack-a-Punch room.

Field Strategies

  • Prioritize anti-thief loadouts before Pentagon Thief rounds.
  • War Room training is safer than tight upper floors in high rounds.
  • Do not overstay elevators; pathing collapses quickly.

Special Enemies

Pentagon Thief

Appears every few rounds wearing a hazmat suit. He steals your currently equipped weapon and runs away with it. He can be killed before he escapes to recover the weapon.

TIP Switch to a disposable weapon the moment the Thief alarm sounds. Chase and kill him quickly - losing a Pack-a-Punched weapon is devastating. He can be stunned with the Winter's Howl.

Pentagon Thief Control

01 Spawn response

Collapse on the thief immediately; fast focus fire minimizes weapon-loss pressure and round delay.

02 Loadout prep

Keep one high-burst weapon ready before thief rounds so your best gun is not easily stolen.

03 Room choice

Fight the thief in cleaner geometry (War Room side lanes) rather than cramped office intersections.

DEFCON and Pack-a-Punch

01 DEFCON timing

Lower DEFCON quickly during stable rounds so teleporter access does not collide with emergency revives.

02 Upgrade windows

Batch weapon upgrades when the room is open to reduce repeated risk through basement chokepoints.
