In the latest twist of the acclaimed Call of Duty series, players can once again harness the chaotic energies of Klaus, the fan-favorite mechanical ally, now seeking redemption in the treacherous landscapes of the Dark Aether. In the new chapter titled Ashes of the Damned, Klaus emerges from his precarious confines, ready to support players in their relentless battle against the undead. For those interested in unlocking this formidable companion, we have a detailed guide on how to recruit Klaus in BO7 Zombies.
Players can find Klaus secured within the Ashwood Sheriff’s Office, a location that becomes accessible after gaining access to Ol’ Tessie and completing the Power Pump at either Vandorn Farm or Blackwater Lake. To reach Klaus, players should take the east zipline from the base of Ashwood and navigate towards the Market Square, left of Vulture Aid. Inside this locked space, they will discover Klaus imprisoned, marking the beginning of their mission to liberate him.
However, rescuing Klaus is no easy feat. Players are advised to come equipped with powerful weapons and sturdy armor, as they will encounter a formidable Elite Enemy known as Uber Klaus. This menacing foe makes a dramatic entrance from a crate in the Janus Towers Plaza as players attempt to progress towards Blackwater Lake. Equipped with devastating attacks over both close and long ranges, Uber Klaus requires strategic planning to defeat, making a Pack-a-Punched weapon indispensable, alongside using the Napalm Burst Ammo Mod to exploit his vulnerabilities. Upon vanquishing him, players can collect the vital Stabilizer Chip, a key item needed to update Klaus.
Once armed with the Stabilizer Chip, players must return to Klaus’ cell. By approaching the terminal adjacent to his confinement, they will receive a prompt stating «Update Requires Restart.» This is where tactical finesse comes into play. Players need to throw at least three Stun Grenades directly at Klaus without missing. If executed properly, stars will illuminate above his head, signaling the success of the activation. After this step, Klaus will awaken and join the players on the battlefield.
If Klaus remains unresponsive despite the usage of multiple Stun Grenades, players can try progressing to the next round and attempt the activation again.
Once freed, Klaus proves to be a valuable asset. He will follow players throughout the map, and they can guide him to specific locations or command him to unleash a powerful stomp against their foes. Equipped with a Tier 2 Pack-a-Punch weapon, Klaus tends to divert zombie attention away from players, although his health is limited. After a brief period of engagement, he can disengage, recharging for subsequent commands, albeit requiring the sacrifice of Tactical Equipment to keep him active. Notably, Klaus will not eliminate the final zombie, allowing players to secure their progress unencumbered.
With the chaos of the Dark Aether now tempered by Klaus’ mechanical might, players can look forward to a thrilling adventure filled with strategy and camaraderie. Prepare your gear, muster your allies, and dive into BO7 Zombies to uncover the full potential of Klaus in this electrifying installment.
