How to turn the power on in Firebase Z
Without turning on the power, you won’t be able to access almost all of the best gear in Firebase Z, including Der Wunderfizz and the Arsenal, as well as the obvious: the Pack-A-Punch machine.
Congrats! The power is now on and ready to rumble. Once the power has been switched on, you can now go into the next room and useDer Wunderfizz, which allows you to buy all the perks in the map without going and getting them manually, as well as use theArsenalin the room after. This lets you upgrade and replenish your armour, as well asbeef up your weapon’s rarity- as important as Pack-A-Punch in later rounds.
How to Pack-A-Punch in Firebase Z
To Pack-A-Punch, it’s not that much more effort. You’ve already turned the power on, which leads you to all manner of extra goodies and the ability to buy perks, but here’s how to Pack-A-Punch:
Pack-A-Punch is essential to your survival past the first dozen or so rounds of zombies - weapons really start to lag behind without it. It costs 5000 points for the first huge upgrade, and 15,000 and 30,000 for the next ones. These should be a priority, as taking down Mimics and Manglers in as few shots as possible is integral to survival.
The Pack-A-Punch machine in Firebase Z is also the place where you can purchase ammo mods - Brain Rot is my favourite because along with the extra toxic damage, zombies will occasionally go and fight for your side. It’s always nice.
