Black Ops Cold War Zombies: Die Maschine Coffin Dance Easter Egg Guide

Find some dancing shoes for Cold War Zombies.

Continuing the tradition of Easter eggs in Black Ops games, Cold War also has numerous Easter eggs to find in the Zombies mode. If you are looking for a break from the competitive environment and want to tickle with the AI of the game, the Coffin Dance Easter Egg is just for you.

The Coffin Dance Easter egg shouldn’t be confused with the main easter egg of the Zombies mode. It is just an optional Easter egg thrown in for a bit of fun to pay homage to the famous coffin dance meme, while you run around the Cold War Die Maschine map.

Here is how to find and shoot the orbs to complete the Cold War Zombies Die Maschine Coffin Dance Easter egg.

Step #1: Turn the Power On

For this Easter egg to work, the first thing you need to do is turn the power on in Die Maschine. Once you have worked around the entire map and opened the doors leading to the underground bunker, you will find the power switch right at the start of your match. It can be located using the waypoint shown on your screen. 

Step #2: Unlock Pack-a-Punch

Once the power is on, you can proceed to the Anomaly and enter the Dark Aether realm. There, you will have to find the missing machine parts by following the similar marker on the map. The machine part will be used to unlock the Pack-a-Punch in Zombies.

Step #3: Find and Shoot the Orbs

Once the Pack-A-Punch machine is up and operating, you need to find five blue shining orbs around the area. These orbs spawn in the same order, so you don’t have to worry about finding them.

Upon locating one, you have to shoot it until it disappears and then move on to the next one.

Orb #1

The first orb is located behind a broken metal frame under the control room. You can spot it by sticking to the right wall after stepping down from the stairs.

Orb #2

The second orb is inside the ceiling of the big machine on the west side of the room.

Orb #3

Head to the lower level of the control room and look for a window/barrier where the zombies come in from. The orb is in the top left corner behind the window.

Orb #4

Go to the upper level of the room. The orb is between the computer terminals and behind the chair.

Orb #5

The last orb can only be found if you climb on the machine in the middle of the room and look for it under a platform. Shoot the last orb to activate the Easter Egg.

You will now get teleported to the Dark Aether realm where you’ll see many zombies doing the Coffin Dance. 

The Easter Egg will last for only one minute. When it ends, get back to the Pack-A-Punch machine to pick up your reward.
