Map Layout: All Areas

Hi guys,

here are all the locations of the FREE POWERUPS that we have come to know and love that have started to appear in every recent zombies map and we are not complaining.

The locations of these of course are for the Paradox Junction Zombies map within Call Of Duty Black Ops 7.

Free......is the magic number....well word I should say, as technically it is not a number.....but does mean we spend a total of zero credits on obtaining them.....and last I checked....zero is definitely a number.

Let's find out the locations of the powerups below.

Bonus Points - Trinity Avenue Area - Destroyed Nuketown

At the end of Trinity Avenue where the Pack A Punch machine is located, there is a house on the left hand side of the street that is partially destroyed.....well....we are gonna destroy it some more.





Throw a grenade where you see in the image below being targeted and when it explodes, it will make the BONUS POINTS POWERUP appear for you to collect.

Max Armour - Cul-De-Sac - Destroyed Nuketown

In the middle of the Cul-de-sac area, there is a TRUCK which has the BLUNDERGAT BUILDABLE bench located in its trailer.

Jump up onto the top of this truck and then look to the left where you will see a destroyed bus. Towards the front of the bus, there will be a MAX ARMOUR located where you can see in the images below.






We need this height advantage to see into the bus, as the powerup cannot be seen from ground level unfortunately.

Simply shoot this with our gun and it will be yours.

Double Points - Cul-De-Sac - Destroyed Nuketown

In the middle of the Cul-de-sac area, at the very back, there is a house where there is a PIANO in the window of the house, which has a small fire in it.

Look to the back right hand corner of this house, through the window, where you will notice a crack in the wall.





Shoot into the corner through this crack, as this is where the DOUBLE POINTS POWERUP is located.

Free Max Ammo - Cul-De-Sac - Past Nuketown

In the Cul-de-sac area, just to the right hand side of the YELLOW HOUSE, there is an ELECTRICAL GENERATOR / SUBSTATION here.

On top of this generator, there is the MAX AMMO POWERUP. It is much easier to see however, if you climb up on top of the RED TRUCK in front of the YELLOW HOUSE and look over to the top of it.







Shoot where you see the aim of the gun in the images for this and it will be yours.

Free Full Power - Green House Upstairs - Past Nuketown

Go into the GREEN HOUSE and go upstairs, into the main BEDROOM of the green house.

You will notice where the double bed is in this room, there is some furniture that has fallen over, at the foot of the bed.






There is a small gap you can look through some of the furniture that is at an angle.

Shoot through this gap and you will receive the FULL POWER powerup.

Free Nuke - Cul-De-Sac - Past Nuketown

Stand in the middle of the Cul-de-sac area and look towards the NUKETOWN CLOCK.

You will clearly see on the very top of the clock that there is a NUKE POWERUP waiting to be retrieved.




Simply shoot it at the very top of the clock shown in the images and you will have a FREE NUKE.

Free Insta-kill - Green House Backyard - Past Nuketown

This powerup requires you to peek over your neighbours fence to see how he is doing. 

If you look to the left of the GREEN HOUSE and over the WHITE FENCE, you will see your neighbour's back garden, as well as a POWER SUBSTATION in the distance.






If looking at the POWER SUBSTATION at a 45 degree angle, just to the left of it in the corner of the neighbour's garden, there is the INSTA-KILL POWERUP. 

Shoot it and it will be yours.

Free Random Perk Powerup - Yellow House Upstairs - Past Nuketown

Go into the Yellow House and to the upstairs bedroom area, where you will find 2 BUNK BEDS located. Simply shoot between the BUNK BEDS into the corner of the room and you will be rewarded with a FREE RANDOM PERK POWERUP.






Check out the images to see where to shoot.

Free Firesale - Side of the Yellow House - Destroyed Nuketown

Once all of the previous FREE POWERUPS have been found and activated, we then spawn in the FREE FIRESALE POWERUP.

This is located in the CUL-DE-SAC area of the map in the DESTROYED NUKETOWN.





It is located in a side window of the YELLOW HOUSE, just above the GARAGE.

Shoot where you see in the images and the FIRE SALE will now be yours.


Thanks for reading as always guys.

Paradox Junction Purple Cist Easter Egg - Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Zombies


Secrets: Pack A Punch -- Building the Blundergat -- Building the Sundergat -- Free PAP Crystal, Aether Tool & More -- Free Insta-kill, Bonus Points, Max Armour -- Free Random Perk (Mannequins) -- Bunker Present -- Creepy Mannequin -- Masked Mannequin -- Jump Scare -- Musical Easter Egg -- Secret Briefcase -- Purple Cist -- All Free Powerups --

Easter Egg Guide: Part 1 -- Part 2 -- Part 3 --

Map Layout: All Areas

Hi guys,

here is the PURPLE CIST Easter egg guide for the Call of Duty map Paradox Junction, in Black Ops 7 zombies!

Basically, we need to find several random items on the map and then sacrifice them as such, to a PURPLE CIST located on the map. Why it doesn't eat regular food is beyond me, it seems to like being fed random household and everyday objects......different set of taste buds compared to us I guess.

Let's find out how to go about this PURPLE CIST Easter egg and what rewards can be yielded from it.

Pre-requisites

There are 2 prerequisites before we start this, we will of course, need the BLUNDERGAT WONDER WEAPON....which I have an easy to follow guide right here for you:

Building the Blundergat Guide

Once you have this crafted, you will also have needed to activate and complete the RC-XD step where you use the remote control car to blow open the garage door to the house in the TRINITY AVENUE area of the map. 

This step is part of the main Easter egg guide and can be found out, how to do this, here:

Easter Egg Guide Part 1 for RC-XD steps

Now we can begin.

Bits and Bobs all over the place!

Now we need to go around the map and find 7 items that we will be sacrificing or giving to a PURPLE CIST, that will spawn into the map, in the GREEN HOUSE'S BACKYARD area.

Let's find the locations of these 7 items and feed them to the purple cist to keep it happy...there are 3 parts in DESTROYED NUKETOWN and 4 parts in PAST NUKETOWN.

1. Mannequin Head - Garage in Trinity Avenue - Destroyed Nuketown

This house is the one we used the RC-XD to blow up the GARAGE DOOR with so we could obtain the WHITE CHALK from this garage area. 




There is a HEAD sitting on a small table in the GARAGE which we can interact with and pick up here, just against the back wall.

 2. Pile of Guts - Under a Truck in Trinity Avenue - Destroyed Nuketown

There is a DESTROYED TRUCK just in front and to the right of the PACK A PUNCH machine , with an object that can be seen laying under it.



It looks like a pile of guts, which when you pick it up....please wash your hands afterwards.

3. Bone - Green House Backyard Area - Destroyed Nuketown

If we head to the Green House Backyard area, we will find that in the separate section at the very back of the garden, there is an area where there is soil and a pile of dirt.


If you look on top of the pile of dirt against the fence, you will notice there is a BONE sitting on top of the dirt.

4. Car Battery - Inside back of the Truck in Cul-de-sac - Past Nuketown

In the centre of the CUL-DE-SAC area, there are several trucks and vehicles. In the back of the truck with the WHITE TRAILER on the back, where the BLUNDERGAT buildable bench would be, there is a CAR BATTERY sitting on the floor of the trailer.





5. Bucket - In the Yellow House Garage - Past Nuketown

In the Yellow House, in the garage, there is a BUCKET just behind one of the doors, that leads out to the Yellow House Backyard area of the Garage.





6. Dog Collar - In a Garden in Trinity Avenue area  - Past Nuketown

The house that we blew the garage door off in TRINITY AVENUE using the RC-XD, just outside in a flower bed, there is a DOG COLLAR among some of the flowers.




If facing the house head on, this is the flowerbed to the left hand side of the garage door, which is quite small.

7. Chunk of Meat - In the Green House's Kitchen  - Past Nuketown

There is a CHUNK OF MEAT sitting on top of the counter, to the right of the cooker, in the kitchen area.





There is a MANNEQUIN standing in front of it as if they were preparing the meat for their dinner.

Now we have all of these 7 items, we simply need to feed it to the PURPLE CIST.

Okay Mister Purple Cist, here is your 7 course meal

No we need to head back to the DESTROYED NUKETOWN and go to the BACKYARD area of the GREEN HOUSE.

Go up to the PURPLE CIST on the fence and interact with it a total of 7 times.

Each time you interact with it, you will notice that the items you have collected, will be placed on the fallen planks that are laying on the ground in front of it.




Once all items are placed on these planks of wood, interact with the CIST one more time and it will begin eating the items, one by one.



Once all of the items are eaten, it will now make the PURPLE CIST turn into a SOUL BOX mechanic.

We now need to fill this SOUL BOX up with about 20-30 zombie souls in order to satisfy it.


Once it is satisfied, if you have put all 7 items down and sacrificed them to the PURPLE CIST, this will spawn in 4 HVT MINI BOSSES at the same time, through 4 BLUE ORBS that will shoot out of the cist, once its thirst for souls has been quenched.





Be very careful here as the 4 mini bosses that spawn in if we have offered up 7 items to the purple cist, which are:

  • HVT RADHOUND
  • HVT MIMIC
  • HVT ARMOURED ZOMBIE
  • HVT DOPPELGHAST
These have quite a bit of health each one so make sure you have at least a pack a punched weapon at level 2 or 3 even to make this step much much easier on yourself.

All you have to do is destroy the 4 bosses. Once the 4th boss is destroyed, you will then be rewarded with guaranteed rewards in the form of:
  • Random Perk Can
  • 2000 Salvage
  • Flawless Aetherium Crystal



This is the best reward you can get from this situation, because you offered up 7 items in total to the PURPLE CIST, however, if you only want to fight 1 boss for example or 2, we can tailor it to make it easier on ourselves, while still collecting lesser rewards.

People get confused thinking different combinations of items offered to the PURPLE CIST, produce different outcomes in terms of the bosses that spawn, the rewards they are given, but it is actually much simpler than that.

It is actually down to scaling and the amount of items offered, not specific recipes of items.



Thanks for reading as always.
