How To Get Pack A Punch Shangri La

Shangri-La. The zombie map that either makes you scream with joy or chuck your controller across the room. No in-between. And let's be honest, getting that Pack-A-Punch is like winning the lottery... if the lottery involved more death traps and monkey bombs.

The Crystal Maze: A Journey in Frustration

First, you gotta open the doors. Seems simple, right? Wrong. We're talking about Shangri-La. "Simple" isn't in its vocabulary. Think more along the lines of "complicated, convoluted, and covered in decaying flesh."

Opening doors requires activating the water, remember that? Okay, good. Now go do the next step.

Next, you have to find those pressure plates. Ah, the pressure plates. My nemesis. I've spent more time running around those waterfalls than actually shooting zombies. Is it just me, or are they intentionally hard to spot?

The Annoying Step: Plate Pushing

Alright, here's where the teamwork (or utter chaos) begins. Each player needs to stand on a pressure plate. Simultaneously! Easier said than done when you're surrounded by undead and your teammates are more interested in hoarding points.

Communication is key, or so they say. My experience usually involves frantic shouting and a lot of "No, not that plate! The OTHER one!". Let's be honest, it's a miracle if it works on the first try.

But when those plates get the gem right, you'll know. Because you need to run fast after to the next phase. Don't ask why, you are on Shangri-La.

The Rotating Room: A Test of Patience

Then comes the infamous rotating room. This is where friendships end. It's like a Rubik's Cube designed by a sadist, but with zombies.

You have to manipulate the room until the water flows correctly. Up, down, left, right. It's a dance of frustration and confusion. Good luck figuring out which switch does what! (Spoiler: Nobody actually knows.)

My unpopular opinion? The rotating room is actually kind of fun... in a "I'm going to lose my mind" kind of way.

The Final Countdown: Gem Placement

Almost there! Remember that gem from the pressure plates? Time to put it to good use.

You need to place the gem into a specific slot. Finding the slot is the easy part. Surviving long enough to actually place it is the real challenge.

The moment of truth. Place the gem, and BAM! Pack-A-Punch is ready. Now you can finally turn that pea shooter into a zombie-slaying machine.

Unlocking the Pack-A-Punch: Was It Worth It?

After all that, you might be asking yourself, "Was it all worth it?". Honestly? Maybe not. But hey, at least you have a souped-up weapon and bragging rights. Until the next wave.

Shangri-La is a love-hate relationship. It's frustrating, challenging, and downright unfair. But that's what makes it so addictive.

And let's be real, the sense of accomplishment after finally getting that Pack-A-Punch is unmatched. Go forth, brave zombie slayer, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Now, if you excuse me, I have a date with a rotating room and a horde of undead. Wish me luck.
