Hey guys it seems like I forgot to mention the accumulative damage the Electrobolt does the longer you hold down the right trigger, and for that I apologize. I should have made sure to take that into consideration when analyzing the wonder weapons. I did some more testing and it looks like the electrobolt does up to 11750 damage per shot which is very good. And after testing each one on round 50, I would put the electrobolt at number 1, but I wouldn't change the rankings for any of the other variations. Again I apologize for this oversight and I will try to do better next time.

[@CrestOfDragonar]

So would you put the electric D.I.E. at number 1 to use for the entire match?

[@AryA316]

@@CrestOfDragonar Yes I would just be cautious about holding the right trigger as the zombies on the later rounds can easily trap you.

[@CrestOfDragonar]

@@AryA316 ok that’s good to know I would also use the base one too, because like you said the only down side is low ammo but it does very good damage and it can clear a whole mob of zombies and it does good damage towards the megaton’s💯💯

And ring of fire

[@atomicbuttocks]

Bonus damage of any kind + THE *SUCC* = massive damage

[@greggrozdanis5737]

Ya. Plus insta or ring of fire practically acts as a max ammo to the WW

[@braedan6900]

Wow it’s not like it’s called insta kill or something

[@greggrozdanis5737]

braedan what he means is that when you use the suction on an insta kill, anything you look at will instantly die as opposed to actually having to hit a target with a bullet. Insta kill with the suction also function like a max ammo for the WW cuz you instantly fill your ammo

[@jacobarndt2153]

The best strategy is shoot the nova variant at the ground in front of you and run through it so your hord of zombies follows you. Then turn around and hold LT. It slows the zombies and kills zombies super fast while they are stuck in the smoke and you pretty much get all of your ammo back.

[@fecher13_17]

Electric is best for Easter egg boss fight it’s insanely good but wepon for boss foght better than raygun

[@s0.diviine]

Tbh I would have a shot gun for megatons because I have a hauer class that melts them in sometimes two shots and have a ray gun for hordes because of explosive damage

[@jh9794]

Electrobolt: basically a machine gun with a good ammo pool. Becomes a sub optimal choice later. Edit: doesn't this version start doing more damage the longer you fire it? Cryo: kinda just electrobolt but with seemingly less penetration and a 3ed the ammo. Thermal: basically a powerful shotgun that does a FK ton of damage but in a narrow line. Gas: great hoard killer but sucks against bosses. Low ammo. Base: it's a thundergun

[@Deathmare235]

So base is the best

[@chronicfailure9092]

Caution: This one is inaccurate as he never mentioned that the elec one has higher damage the longer you fire. So it does MASSIVE damage as long as you hold the trigger.

[@Blossoming_Fate]

So the Decompressive Isetopic Estrangement Shockwave having high ammo consumption is actually a good thing. It means it's easier to spend the ammo fast and get back to percent damage at the higher round with higher HP zombies.

[@SkatingandBacon]

The electro bolt does more damage the longer you hold the trigger. It can melt megatons in later rounds. I usually run ring of fire so it does a lot more

[@canynlyons2624]

Dude if you get Dr Strauss as your doctor, once you get the electro bolt, he literally says that the longer you fire it,.the stronger it becomes

[@gamermanzeake]

Every single last one of the Shockwaves would utterly be fixed if you could pack a punch them, and all three tiers. They could comfortably keep their current base damage and would be useful forever. Honestly looking at how pack a punch works in this game, doubling damage every pack, makes me seriously wonder if the Shockwaves were balanced for this but then Treyarch said: "You can't have fun in zombies or good wonder weapons anymore." Max Pack for all the Shockwaves would look like this for damage; Shockwave: 120,000 Thermophasic: 400,000 Nova 5: 12,000 per tick. Cryo-Emmiter: 16,000 per one ammo used. Electrovolt: 8,000 per one ammo used. Now considering the ammo, and the zombies' health cap, doesn't this sound way more appealing? Especially with how the weapons work, the Shockwave would still be the get-out-of-jail-free card, Thermophasic would be the boss killer, Nova 5 would be the camper, the other two for fighting the horde. With double ammo upon pack (no increase beyond that) and the left trigger having varied amounts of ammo restoration based on the weapon in question, the Shockwaves would be amazing!

[@crackpipe2239]

When you panic shoot at your feet and use the suck animation at the same time to make it out alive

[@jakegianino5762]

I really think Treyarch just forgot how to math when they made these WW 🤣 My pick is the Ice one, just for one reason really: if you hit the Megaton with it at all, it’ll stop him from moving and attacking (melee or ranged) and he’ll be vulnerable for about a whole 10 seconds, and you can switch weapons and take him out with the Raygun or SPAS. It is also fairly easy to freeze a horde or half a horde and finish them with the vacuum attack.

The thing with the shockwave variant that makes it my favorite, is it does exactly 15,000 damage This means when the enemies reach a cap of 30,001 (i believe thats the cap) you shoot twice, and then absorb them Its a full refil and full horde wipe every time

[@jh9794]

Oh yeah, she does mention the longer you fire the more powerful it gets.

[@xproxifyy3021]

I'd say the Electrobolt is the best one, only if used against the megatons, bc of the crowd control, and distance you can take them out at. It's gonna be a slower process, but at least it'll be much more efficient than missing shots on accident. Best strat is to use your base weapon as your main gun, and use the DIE for boss zombies. I would say, getting Deadshot, and using the Diamatti at Round 40+ was a piece of cake, so there really isn't an excuse for not using your base weapon.

[@zacmartin9326]

The weapons are meant to have diff purposes. Electro is meant to be the best dps weapon for continous damage over time. Fire is for burst damage aka boss melting if u need to kill them in demand. Ice is for crowd control which when combined with zoning tools and a good squad is incredibly potent ( i mean like STUPIDLY POTENT) poison is good for horde funneling and or zone control. Base is just good all around. They do need to nerf the percent health damage on the ammo replenish because as its scaling is just nutty

[@biggokii5083]

I use the nova variant to camp on the plane wing. I shoot one cloud down the ramp and suck the rest of the zombies that run through. It's perfect for Elites as using LT slows them down which makes them stay in the cloud longer. Zombies that come from the sides, you can just use LT as they take a long time to get up. At higher rounds, if you have another team mate with the D.I.E. weapon you can easily just use the suck function and not have to fire a single shot.
