D.I.E. Shockwave

The D.I.E. Shockwave is a weapon that fires an energy blast, capable of killing multiple Zombies with one shot. It can be Pack-a-Punched, and there are four variants, the Nova-5, Cryo Emitter, Electrobolt or Thermophasic.

The D.I.E. Shockwave is available from the mystery box, through the completion of trials, and via the following quest:

1. Kill a Megaton and pick up the Keycard.
2. In the 'Weapons Lab,' interact with the Weapon Locker and pick up the D.I.E. Remote Control.
3. In the "Living Room," interact with this Broken Wall to activate the "D.I.E.". The D.I.E. needs to be charged by sucking zombies through the window of the door. If the D.I.E. turns off without sucking up enough zombies, it will go on cooldown for about 30 seconds, after which you can activate it again.
4. Once enough zombies are sucked up, interact with the wall again, and the D.I.E. will shoot the door off.
5. Once the door has been blown off, the D.I.E. Shockwave should be available for pickup.

Nova-5

1. Go to the "Mezzanine" and find the Empty Canister outside the map. Pull the canister toward you with the Alt Fire mode on the D.I.E. and pick it up once it lands at your feet.
2. Place the canister in the Cleaning Unit in the 'Weapons Lab.'
3. Kill a Plaguehound near the canister to make the Cleaning Unit suck up the gas from the Plaguehound.
4. Once all the gas has been collected, pick up the canister and place it on the Weapon Crate in the 'Crash Site.'
5. Melee the canister to destroy the vines on the crate. The Nova-5 upgrade can now be picked up from the Weapon Crate.

Cryo Emitter

1. Go to the "Penthouse" and find the wooden crate on the ledge of the building and shoot it with the D.I.E. to knock it down. The box will fall to the ground below, breaking on impact, allowing you to pick up the Flask.
2. Have a Megaton shoot the fungus on a tree in the 'Pond' with its long-range attack. If the Fungus is hit by the Megaton, it will turn purple.
3. Place the Flask below the Fungus on the ground. Wait 60 Seconds for the flask to fill.
4. Once filled, pick up the flask and interact with the Weapon Crate in the 'Medical Bay' to break the chains on it.
5. The Cryo Emitter upgrade can now be picked up from the Weapon Crate.

Elecrobolt

1. Complete Steps 1–6 of the Main Quest
2. Enter the Anomaly on the lowest level of the Particle Accelerator.
3. Locate three Glowing Crystals and use the Alt Fire mode on the D.I.E. to collect the energy. Only one crystal's energy can be held at a time. Crystal Locations:
• The Crash Site - Left of Juggernog
• "Penthouse" - Right of Wunderfizz
• Pond - Right of Mystery Box

Warning: Other variants of the D.I.E. might struggle to accurately do the following step, so it is recommended to return the D.I.E. to the Shockwave/default variant.

4. While the D.I.E. has the energy, shoot the Weapon Crate in the 'Particle Accelerator' with the D.I.E. If done correctly, one of the crystals on the crate will begin glowing.
5. Once all three crystal's energy has been transferred to the crate, you can pick up the upgrade from the Weapon Crate.

Thermophasic

1. Complete Steps 1–6 of the Main Quest.
2. Enter the Anomaly in the 'Pond.'
3. Go to the Crash Site and shoot/melee open the Fuse Box beside the Fast Travel Portal to pick up the Fuse.

5. In the 'Pond,' interact with the Weapon Crate to obtain the Thermophasic Upgrade.
