Black Ops 2 Zombies’ Tranzit throws hordes of the undead your way. To survive the relentless onslaught, a powerful weapon is crucial. This is where you require the Galvaknuckles – a devastating melee weapon that packs a serious punch.
This prized weapon obliterates zombies with a single hit up to round 13, freeing up your precious weapon slots for ranged attacks. But, acquiring the Galvaknuckles requires a strategic approach. This guide includes all the information about this deadly weapon. We’ll detail how to access the diner’s roof, the Galvaknuckles’ location, and their cost, ensuring you secure this valuable weapon and dominate the Tranzit battlefield.
Getting the Galvaknuckles in Black Ops 2 Tranzit
To get the Galvaknuckles, bring your rooftop hatch to the diner and hold your action button (X or Square) to jump straight up onto the roof. Turn around, and you’ll find the Galvaknuckles. They cost 6,000 points, which is pretty costly but worth it.
How to get the rooftop hatch?
You need to find a rooftop hatch in a shed near the diner with a white door. Open the door with a turbine, and the hatch should be inside.
Why do you Need Galvaknuckles?
Apart from being a deadly one-hit-kill melee weapon that gives over 1500 damage with infinite starting ammo, the Galvaknuckles have several benefits in Black Ops 2 Tranzit:
- One-hit kill until round 14, and then it’s a two-hit kill
- You get 130 points for punching zombies (sometimes 140 points)
- You can easily take out the denizens that chase you through the fog with one hit
- You can take out the electro boss with two hits
Comparison to Bowie Knife
The Galvaknuckles are more expensive than the Bowie knife (6,000 points vs 3,000 points), but they are more effective. The Bowie knife stops being effective at round 10 and becomes a two-hit knife, whereas the Galvaknuckles remain effective until round 14.
Rooftop Hatch Glitch
If you’re having trouble finding the rooftop hatch, try restarting the game until you can see the bus hatch through the window in the original room. Then, get enough points to buy the roof patch and get the Galvaknuckles.
