Alpha Omega Walkthrough: Complete the Camp Edward EE

Yes, you can complete the Camp Edward Easter Egg in Black Ops 4 Zombies’ Alpha Omega map, and this walkthrough gives you the exact steps. You’ll need to find three teddy bears, build a ray gun, and then feed a machine in the right order to unlock the Pack-a-Punch and the main quest.

Background: What Is the Camp Edward Easter Egg?

Alpha Omega is the fifth map in Black Ops 4’s Zombies mode, released as part of the “Apocalypse Z” DLC. It remasters the classic “Nuketown” multiplayer map and turns it into a full zombies experience. The map is set in a 1960s-era military testing facility where the Ultimis and Primis crews are trapped. The “Camp Edward Easter Egg” is the informal name players use for the main quest that unlocks the Pack-a-Punch machine. Unlike the full main quest (which ends with a boss fight), this Easter egg is a shorter, essential setup that every player must complete to get Pack-a-Punch working. It’s a required step for high rounds and for accessing the map’s Wonder Weapon, the Ray Gun Mark II.

How the Easter Egg Works: The Three Teddies and the Pack-a-Punch

The Camp Edward Easter Egg has two main phases. First, you must locate three teddy bears hidden around the map. Second, you must use those bears to power up a device called the Pack-a-Punch machine, which is located in the central bunker area. The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes if you know where to look. The teddy bears are small, brown, and easy to miss—they’re placed in spots that are visible only from specific angles. Once you collect all three, you’ll get a prompt to interact with the Pack-a-Punch machine. The machine will then open its doors and allow you to upgrade your weapons for 5000 points.

Step-by-Step: Finding the Three Teddy Bears

Here’s the exact order and locations for the teddy bears. You can collect them in any order, but this route is efficient and avoids backtracking.

1. Teddy Bear #1: The Green House (left side of the map) — Go to the green house (the one with the green roof, on the left when facing the main street). Enter the house and go upstairs. Look at the bed in the back room—the teddy bear is sitting on the pillow. It’s small, so crouch and look closely.
2. Teddy Bear #2: The Yellow House (right side of the map) — Go to the yellow house (right side, with the yellow roof). Go upstairs to the bedroom with the bunk beds. The teddy bear is on the top bunk, near the pillow. You may need to jump to see it.
3. Teddy Bear #3: The Bunker (central area) — Go to the bunker, which is the underground area accessible from the center of the map (near the Pack-a-Punch machine). Once inside, go to the back room where the Pack-a-Punch machine sits. Look at the shelf to the left of the machine—the teddy bear is on that shelf, behind some boxes. It’s easy to miss because it blends in with the dark background.

After collecting all three, you’ll hear a chime and see a message: “The Pack-a-Punch is ready.” Now go to the Pack-a-Punch machine and interact with it to open it. That’s the entire Easter egg—no boss fight, no code input.

Common Problems and How to Avoid Them

Players often get stuck because they miss a teddy bear or can’t interact with the machine. Here are the most common issues and fixes:

• Missing a teddy bear: The teddy bears do not respawn, but they can be hard to see. Use a flashlight (if you have one) or turn up your brightness. Check the exact spots again—they are always in the same places.
• Can’t interact with the Pack-a-Punch: Make sure you have all three teddy bears. If you haven’t collected all three, the machine will not respond. Also, you must be playing the map in the “Classic” mode (not a custom mutation that disables Easter eggs).
• Playing solo vs. co-op: The Easter egg works the same in solo and co-op. In co-op, any player can collect the bears, and the progress is shared. However, if a player goes down and loses their teddy bear (if they were carrying it—which doesn’t happen, they’re automatically collected), you might think you’re missing one. Just check the map—the bears are always collected permanently.
• Using the Ray Gun Mark II: Some players confuse this Easter egg with the Ray Gun Mark II upgrade quest. That’s a separate, longer quest that involves feeding a machine with specific weapons. The Camp Edward Easter egg is only about the Pack-a-Punch.

Why This Easter Egg Is Important

Without the Pack-a-Punch, you’re stuck with base weapons, which become useless by round 15. The Camp Edward Easter egg is the only way to unlock Pack-a-Punch in Alpha Omega. It’s also a prerequisite for the main quest (the “Rush” achievement) and for obtaining the Ray Gun Mark II. Even if you’re not interested in the story, you must complete this Easter egg to survive past the early rounds. It’s simple enough that even casual players can do it, but it’s a classic example of Treyarch’s design: hiding essential mechanics behind a small puzzle.

Comparison with Other Black Ops 4 Easter Eggs

Alpha Omega’s setup is much easier than other Black Ops 4 maps. For example, in IX, you have to light four braziers and then kill a gladiator to get the Pack-a-Punch. In Voyage of Despair, you have to find three tuning forks and then play a melody. Alpha Omega’s teddy bear hunt is the most straightforward—it’s just a scavenger hunt. The main quest, however, is more complex: it involves building a Ray Gun Mark II, feeding it with kills, and then fighting a boss. But the Camp Edward Easter egg itself is a good starting point for players new to the game’s Easter egg mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to do this Easter egg every time I play Alpha Omega?

Yes, every new game of Alpha Omega requires you to collect the three teddy bears to unlock Pack-a-Punch. It’s not a one-time unlock—it resets each match. The good news is that it takes only a few minutes once you know the locations.

Can I do the Camp Edward Easter egg in solo mode?

Yes, it works exactly the same in solo. You can collect all three teddy bears yourself, and the Pack-a-Punch will open. There’s no need for a second player.

Is there a time limit for finding the teddy bears?

No, there’s no time limit. You can take as long as you want. However, zombies will spawn and attack, so it’s best to do it early in the game when they’re slow and weak.

What happens if I miss a teddy bear and then go down?

Nothing changes—the teddy bears are permanently collected once you pick them up. If you go down and bleed out, you’ll respawn with your weapons, and the bears will still be collected. You just need to go to the Pack-a-Punch machine and interact with it.

Does the Easter egg work in casual or custom games?

It works in any standard game mode, including casual. However, if you use custom mutations that disable Easter eggs (like “No Power-ups” or “No Pack-a-Punch”), it won’t work. Check your custom settings before starting.

Is there a way to skip this Easter egg?

No, there’s no way to skip it. The Pack-a-Punch is locked behind this Easter egg. Some players use glitches to get Pack-a-Punch early, but those are patched and not recommended. The intended method is the teddy bear hunt.

Alternatives and Advanced Tips

If you’re struggling to find the teddy bears, try playing with a friend and splitting up—one person checks the green house, the other checks the yellow house, and then both meet at the bunker. Also, consider using the “Electric Cherry” perk to slow zombies while you search. Once you’ve unlocked Pack-a-Punch, you can also build the Ray Gun Mark II by finding three parts and then feeding it with kills. That’s a separate quest, but it’s worth doing because the Mark II is one of the best weapons in the map. For high rounds, you’ll want to upgrade it to the Mark II-V by completing another small task. But those are optional—the Camp Edward Easter egg is the only essential one.
