The Giant

The Primis crew return to the Group 935 teleporter facility — a faithful Der Riese remake with BO3 movement. No boss quest, but link the three teleporters for Pack-a-Punch, and earn the Annihilator from the Fly Trap.

What to do

  1. Turn on power at the central courtyard generator
  2. Activate Teleporter Z-A (kennels) and link it at the Mainframe within ~30s
  3. Activate Teleporter Z-B (boiler/vat room) and link it
  4. Activate Teleporter Z-C (catwalk behind power) and link it — Pack-a-Punch opens in spawn
  5. Each link also drops a random power-up
  6. Hidden song “Beauty of Annihilation”: activate the 3 glowing brain jars
  7. Fly Trap: PaP a gun, shoot the distant panel past Teleporter Z-A, shoot the 3 toys (cymbal monkey + 2 teddy bears), grab the Annihilator
Linking is timed. Hold Use on a teleporter pad to start a ~30-second countdown, then sprint back to the Mainframe pad in spawn and hold to complete the link. Order doesn't matter, and every successful link drops a power-up — do them with your training spot clear.

Side Easter Eggs & extras

Everything beyond the main quest. Tap any entry to open the full how-and-where breakdown.

Song

“Beauty of Annihilation”

+

Kevin Sherwood ft. Elena Siegman. Hold Use on the 3 glowing brain/spine jars around the Animal Testing Lab and the Teleporter Z-B room. Once per match.

  1. Hold Use on 3 glowing green brain/spine jars, in any order
  2. Animal Testing Lab — on top of a shelf
  3. Animal Testing Lab — just behind the first, on a cupboard
  4. Teleporter Z-B room — through the boiler/vat room into the side room, on a desk
  5. 'Beauty of Annihilation' (Giant remix) by Kevin Sherwood & Elena Siegman plays — once per game
Free weapon

Fly Trap — the Annihilator

+

Pack-a-Punch a bullet weapon and, from outside Teleporter Z-A, shoot the distant control panel. Three toys then activate — shoot the cymbal monkey in the furnace by Teleporter Z-A, the teddy bear high on the balcony right of the power courtyard, and the teddy bear in the water vat beside Teleporter Z-B. Collect the Annihilator from the glowing furnace below Z-B. Also awards a green Gateworm (a collectible needed later for Revelations).

  1. Pack-a-Punch any weapon first (a long-range gun helps)
  2. Shoot the control panel on the stone pillars at the large stone circle down the alley right of the Mainframe
  3. Shoot the 3 hidden toys: the cymbal monkey in the furnace by Teleporter Z-A (left of the right-most stairs), the teddy bear on the fire escape left of the power switch near the top, and the teddy bear in the left water tank/vat beside Teleporter Z-B
  4. Collect the floating Annihilator revolver from inside the furnace flames
  5. Rewards the Annihilator, 1,000 XP and a green Gateworm collectible for the Revelations Easter egg
Free perk

Hidden sixth perk (Monkey-Bomb teleport)

+

With all three teleporters linked, at each pad throw a Cymbal Monkey onto it and activate the teleport while it is live — each successful trip lights one green indicator at the Mainframe. When all three are green, press the red button beside Pack-a-Punch: the laser fires, reflects off the Der Riese sign and melts a snow pile to reveal a bonus perk machine — either Deadshot Daiquiri or Stamin-Up.

Collectible

Radios & phones

+

Scattered radios and telephones play Group 935 / Der Riese story recordings — independent lore cues, not a sequential quest.

Mechanic

Worth knowing

+

The Electroshock Defense trap in the courtyard is a strong high-round hold; the Annihilator one-shots early but tapers after ~round 20; lie prone at a perk machine for a small points bonus.
