The iconic Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies map, The Giant, offers players a nostalgic yet refined experience based on the fan-favorite Der Riese layout. While it is smaller than other main maps in the game, it conceals an engaging minor Easter egg known as the Fly Trap quest. Completing this hidden sequence grants players unique narrative audio logs and the Annihilator special weapon to assist with high-round survival.
Activating the Pack-a-Punch Machine
Before attempting to trigger the hidden quest, your team must fully restore power to the facility and link all three teleporters. Each teleporter must be activated individually by interacting with it and rushing back to the mainframe before the timer expires.
Successfully linking all three locations unlocks the Pack-a-Punch machine located at the center platform. Upgrade a hit-scan weapon, such as an assault rifle or sniper, as a Pack-a-Punch weapon is strictly required to initiate the first step of the Easter egg quest.
Initiating the Fly Trap Secret Sequence
Head to the courtyard area near the teleporter opposite the Pack-a-Punch platform and look through the chain-link fence towards the out-of-bounds building. Aim your upgraded weapon at the small control box mounted on the far wall and shoot it directly.
A distinct audio cue will play, releasing several glowing green items into the air that scatter across the map. Staying updated with daily gaming news often reminds players how these subtle interactive secrets keep older Zombies entries endlessly replayable.
Locating the Three Hidden Objects
To progress, players must locate and shoot three specific small objects hidden outside the playable map boundaries. The first item is a small teddy bear holding a perk bottle, located in the water tower near the central courtyard.
The second object is another teddy bear sitting inside a cage on the upper balcony near the power switch corridor. Finally, locate the small monkey bomb miniature resting inside a furnace in the laboratory area and shoot it to conclude the search.
Claiming the Annihilator Reward
Once all three hidden targets are shot, Samantha's voice will confirm the completion of the secret hide-and-seek game. Return to the central Pack-a-Punch platform where the reward will be waiting for your team.
You can now interact with the furnace pit near the mainframe to collect the Annihilator pistol. This powerful weapon deals massive single-target damage, making it invaluable for dispatching heavy zombie waves and clearing tight corridors during high rounds.
