How to Obtain the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon
Step 1: Activate Pack-a-Punch
Before diving into the Gorgofex quest, you’ll need to activate the Pack-a-Punch machine by following the main objective markers from the start of your match. This foundational step opens up the map’s advanced weaponry systems.
Step 2: Navigate to Tower 1 Mutant Research Lab
Head to the Tower 1 Mutant Research Lab where you’ll find a metal case containing a mysterious plant-like cyst. This organic specimen is the key to creating your Wonder Weapon.
Step 3: Feed the Cyst
You need to kill zombies and vermin in front of this case, and this works similarly to the soul-box style Easter egg steps of past Zombies games. The process requires:
- Kill 3 Vermin or Parasites directly next to the cyst
- Watch as defeated enemies transform into green energy orbs
- These orbs get absorbed into the cyst, powering it up
- Repeat until the cyst reaches full capacity
Step 4: Summon and Weaken the Uber Klaue
Once the cyst is fully charged, activate the nearby power system to summon an Uber Klaue. Here’s the crucial part: damage it until its health is extremely low, but don’t eliminate it. This weakened state is essential for the Gorgofex creation process.
Gorgofex Upgrade Variants: Choose Your Path
Upgrading the Gorgofex can be done in two forms: Gorgofex N and Gorgofex C. You can only obtain one variant per match, as each is tied to helping either Panos or Blanchard.
Gorgofex N (Panos Route)
- Alignment: Support Panos
- Requirement: Eliminate Blanchard
- Characteristics: Enhanced against specific zombie types
Gorgofex C (Blanchard Route)
- Alignment: Support Blanchard
- Requirement: Eliminate Panos
- Characteristics: Alternative upgrade path with unique properties
Strategic Tip: Your choice affects the entire match progression, so consider your team’s strategy before committing to either path.
