More Powerful Pack a Punch?

[brk3485]

Rumors are circulating on XBL that if you use the battery from the power station (the one used to build the zombie electric trap) on the Pack a Punch in town that it creates more powerful weapons when used.

1) I have checked the batteries and as far as I can tell they are identical in appearance both the labels and serial numbers are the same.

2) The person who told me this said the difference is not noticeable until the later rounds and that it is not noticeable on certain weapons, specifically wall weapons and ray gun.

If this is true why are the batteries identical, maybe one has more charge left in it or is newer?

Has anyone heard or noticed anything about this?

Thoughts, ideas, criticisms, conspiricies?

can you actually switch them? i thought certain parts were locked to certain work bench

[brk3485]

yes I have actually used the power station battery on the pack a punch machine in a game on custom and on matchmaking

[eggman7679]

I believe that you can use both batteries on the pack a punch at the same time (you have to add the one for the electric trap first), but I do not believe that it actually does anything as far as making the guns stronger. I cannot confirm because I have not tried it.

[Ourobos]

You can use either battery on PAP.

You cannot use both batteries.

It makes do difference on power through the 30s, for sure. I doubt it makes any difference at all.

I find this to be a little far fetched. There honestly isn't much of a way to prove it unless you had side-by-side videos of the same upgraded guns, same perks, same locations, but with the separate batteries. This rumor could be a matter of seeing what you want to see. Back in BO1, my friends and I used to dolphin dive on top of each other in the corner, downing ourselves because there was a rumor you got more drops that way

Though there is a possibility of this being true, it could be just one person's experience of an easier high rounds in a match.

If they're the same battery why would it make it more powerful?

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

sounds doubtful to me

[brk3485]

yeah its just a theory, maybe the battery near the power station has more life in it even if its the same battery, maybe the power turning on juices it? who knows, but this is definently circulating through different groups on live. Two seperate people who I met on matchmaking have said it plus several of my friends. It is definently weird that its not locked to the power station though, maybe a space saving tactic by haveing single object codes? seems a little 8-bit to me for that to be true

I doubt the weapons become more powerful.

The "more powerups" comments reminds me of people who used to throw grenades at Jug on ascension from the first room lol

Sounds like one of those silly "Max Ammos are limited" rumours that aren't true in the slightest.

This. ^

I've heard people say both of these things and I've never seen anything to conclusively prove either.

[CrazyTrain0917]

You'd have to dig back in the threads a ways from Black Ops 1. There was a guy who translated the code and laid out exactly how zombie damage/health, perk drop formulas, and a few other very interesting logistics worked. One of the old school guys around here could probably point you in the right direction. That being said I do believe he proved that there was no trigger for limiting max ammos other than the calculation of percentages from one perk vs another being dropped as the rounds went up. The only limit to max ammos I've actually seen is in Shangri la but that wasn't due to limited max ammos (keeping in mind max ammo's become mathmatically less frequent as you reach higher rounds)rather than limited monkeys to carry the perks to turn into max ammos.

Has anyone tried to build both batteries on the bench at pap at the same time?

lol me & my friend used to do that thing on kino! i doubt it actualy made a diffrence tho, i cant see how downing yourself gave you more pick ups tbh :/ lukin back was probaly a stupid thing to do lol

Just tried both batterys didnt work but did switch them and had round 28 but made no difference as far as i coul d tell.

[Why1sTheRumGone]

"in tranzit, get the creature also known as 'him' down to pap, it doesn't matter which battery you used to build it, both work the same, you need to have the creature zap the pap machine while your weapon is inside, just stand in front of pap, strafe to the side when he unleashes the force upon you, now you've got a op blue pap weapon "

is what im gonna put in the hoaxes thread

the 2 battery thing should go in there too

I doubt very much this would work, but hey if someone wants to try this,.... 8-)

[R102609]
