Call of the Dead: Player Planning Briefing

How do I turn on power and what does it unlock?

The power switch sits on the ship’s top deck near the bridge on the right side; activating it brings all perks and traps online and turns on the lighthouse beam.

Once the switch is thrown, the lighthouse beam signals that the map’s upgrades and defensive options are now functional.

Where is Pack‑a‑Punch and how does its location change?

Pack‑a‑Punch has no fixed home; after power is on, the rotating lighthouse beam stops periodically to mark the machine’s current spot.

You must follow the light to the new location, making each upgrade a deliberate trip rather than a quick detour.

What wonder weapons can I obtain and what are their unique effects?

The V‑R11 converts a zombie back into a human, removing the threat and attracting George; a Pack‑a‑Punched V‑R11 calms him when fired.

The Scavenger is a bolt‑action explosive sniper for crowd control, and only one tactical device (Gersch Device or Matryoshka Dolls) can be carried at a time.

Which perks are available and where can I find them?

Deadshot Daiquiri debuted here, located on the lighthouse balcony; it snaps aim to the head and steadies hip‑fire.

Standard perks such as Quick Revive, Jugger‑Nog, Speed Cola, Double Tap are spread from the spawn courtyard to under the stern, and Mule Kick was added later via the Rezurrection patch.

Who is George Romero and how can I neutralize him?

George appears from round one, wielding a spotlight; he cycles between a slow Calm state and a sprinting Berserk state, with his spotlight colour indicating health.

He cannot be permanently killed; he retreats for a few rounds after being beaten. He can be calmed with a Pack‑a‑Punched V‑R11 or temporarily removed by luring him into the water.

What is the main easter egg objective and its reward?

The easter egg frees the original crew behind a locked door by using the V‑R11 to turn a zombie human at the lighthouse base, pulling it up the tractor‑beam, then dropping it to release the Golden Rod.

Delivering the Golden Rod completes the quest; subsequently, killing George drops the powerful Wunderwaffe DG‑2.
