Quest 1: How to Get the Rune Badge

The Rune badge requires you to find the mysterious pumpkin merchant and trade him a Pack-a-Punch’d weapon on the Hallow’s Eve map. Here’s your step-by-step strategy:

Step 1: Join Hallow’s Eve Map

Start by joining the Hallow’s Eve map with a team. Kill waves of zombies to accumulate points—you’ll need plenty for what comes next. Don’t spend points unnecessarily; save everything for unlocking the church area.

Step 2: Unlock the Church (4,500 Points)

Once you’ve earned enough points, unlock access to the church area. This is where the real challenge begins, so make sure you’re equipped with decent weapons before proceeding.

Step 3: Shoot Seven Colored Pumpkins

Search the area around the church for seven differently colored pumpkins scattered throughout. Shoot each one you find. Successfully hitting all seven pumpkins will activate the legendary Pack-a-Punch Machine in the catacombs below.

Pro Tip: Work with your team to locate pumpkins faster. They can be hidden in tricky spots!

Step 4: Use the Pack-a-Punch Machine

Head to the catacombs where the Pack-a-Punch Machine awaits. You’ll need 4,500 points to use it, so ensure you’ve been grinding zombie kills efficiently. Insert any weapon into the machine and wait for the message confirming your Pack-a-Punch’d weapon is ready.

Step 5: Trade with the Pumpkin Merchant

Take your upgraded weapon to the mysterious pumpkin merchant. Complete the trade, and the Rune badge is yours!

Quest 2: How to Get the Key Badge

The Key badge is trickier, requiring puzzle-solving skills to crack a safe code. Here’s how to navigate this mysterious quest:

Step 1: Access the Mystery Portal

Press the donate option in the game menu, then click the “???” icon. This will teleport you to a secret location where the puzzle begins.

Step 2: Decode the Wall Hints

You’ll see cryptic hints on walls indicating where to find symbols across different maps. Don’t panic—we’ve got the solution for you!

Step 3: Collect the Four Required Symbols

You need four specific symbols in order:

First Symbol: An inverted heart with a small heart on top
Second Symbol: A cat shape
Fourth Symbol: Two arrows pointing in opposite directions with a dot in the middle
Fifth Symbol: Reads “D2B”

Important: Skip the third symbol entirely—it’s not needed for the combination.

Step 4: Unlock the Safe

Input the symbols in the correct order (1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th). When entered correctly, the safe will open, rewarding you with both the Key and the achievement badge!
