Call of Duty Zombies has been around for over a decade, and with each new game, the Pack-A-Punch system follows. While there have been some unique designs for the machine in the past, one Call of Duty Zombies fan clearly prefers the original style.
The Pack-A-Punch machine is just as deserving of a replica as any weapon, perk, or item from the iconic survival mode. Debuting in Call of Duty: World at War’s Der Riese Map, the fourth Zombies location ever created by Treyarch, the machine has followed the mode as it has evolved. While there have been several different steps required to unlock access to Pack-A-Punch, the functionality of the machine has remained the same. The go-to place to upgrade guns, several different weapons have been given a boost from the machine.
The Call of Duty Zombies fan behind the model goes by the name Retconner on Reddit, and they shared 5 different images of the machine. All of them show the insane level of detail on the model, with the clean silver steel on the side of the machine looking different from the rusty teal accents in the center. The peeled hand sticker on the lower right of the machine looks great, as does the beaten-up Pack-A-Punch logo on the left side of the 3D model. However, the signs are the standout feature of the replica.
In the center of the machine, the image depicting the Ray Gun wonder weapon looks just like it does on the in-game Pack-A-Punch. The gun’s barrel can be seen dropping down prior to the effect of the upgrade, with the aftermath showing a functional Ray Gun with a red explosion behind it. Above this small sign sits a larger one, with the proper Pack-A-Punch logo seen in all its glory. The unique text is well-done, as are the different colored diamonds behind each letter. However, what truly makes the machine special is its ability to light up.
As shown in the final image, the Pack-A-Punch sign can be lit up with a bright yellow color, making the model even more impressive. Standing out in the outside setting used for the photos, the sign can still be read despite the image being taken at nighttime. While several Call of Duty Zombies replicas have been made using 3D printers, this is undoubtedly one of the most unique, as the model will surely look great wherever Retconner decides to place it. While it may be on the small side, it truly is a one-of-a-kind.
With new Call of Duty Zombies content still on the way for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, perhaps the Pack-A-Punch machine will get another memorable redesign sometime soon. If it does, perhaps Retconner will find some inspiration for another awesome Call of Duty Zombies model.
