Oh poo poo, uh. Some people leaked some Nazi Zombies screengrabs.

And a guy who is doing said screengrabs might have proven you can no longer make crawlers.

They’re also showing a lot of the UI / structure of it. They’re straight up embracing the RPG/Quest nature of the EE’s / map objectives and are now showing the main objective as a hud / quest element. IW kinda does this by showing up items you’ve collected but otherwise gives you no real indication of what you should be doing.

So far, it looks decent ish. Can only single pap but as one guy's vid points out it tends to give you a shitload of ammo.

Also it bears repeating in the right thread, we're either artifact hunting or finding the rest of Barbossa's Sword.

Also also, Klaus is a guy who gets eaten by the boss of the map. We're still wondering if we can save him somehow.

Sometimes people are smart and let you download footy.

I downloaded one guy's run through of most of The Final Reich's Quest. I'm convinced it was almost the end because of cutscenes and a big gently caress of monster. And the fact the log said Epilogue in Deutschlandese.

Said guy also found how to get some upgraded Tesla Guns, and another guy mentioned completing Barbossa's Sword with a base Tesla Gun. So more than likely all we gotta do is FIND JAY GOTTA FIND JAY revive Klaus with Barbossa's Sword somehow.

And then there's that interview that shits all over the idea that the ACTUAL Quest was detailed as Objectives from a campaign. They're absolutely or more than likely referring to reviving Klaus/finding something in the Epilogue entry since you don't just have objectives on screen lead to a puzzle boss and a cutscene where something huge happens. Like, face it, you made the hunt for the Quest easy as hell. Don't bullshit us.

Would you believe it isn't that bad getting to the upgrade machine? Ride the sewer ways and push a button near its exit. Do that four times for an underwhelming Pack-a-Punch.

I would not worry about the Tesla Gun it sucks a mean bepis in how bad it is.

But yeah, there's a good reason this would have been a 6.5/10 for me.Had Condrey and Schofield shut their fuckin traps, the map is a light 7.
