Verrückt

"Electroshock therapy. Chemically engineered beverages. Hordes of Undead Nazis. Find the power to unite and send them back to their graves!"

- Singleplayer Solo mission description in the Mission Select menu.

Zombie Verrückt (Zombie Asylum) is one of the maps available in the first Call of Duty: World at War map pack, as well as the Hardened and Prestige editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is the second installment of Nazi Zombies, and takes place in an Asylum. The map features four vending machines that provide four different Perks; Speed Cola, Juggernog, Double Tap Rootbeer, and Quick Revive, as well as electric barriers that kill zombies instantly. In order to activate perks and electric barriers, players must make their way to a room on the opposite side of the map with a switch that must be manually activated in order for the power to be on. A trailer was unveiled shortly before the downloadable content package containing Verrückt was released.

There is a song for this map called Lullaby for a Dead Man and it is sung by Elena Siegman.

Verrückt was later released on iPod touch and iPhone on February 11, 2010.

Verrückt, along with the other three Nazi Zombie maps, appears in the hardened and prestige editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Gameplay
Verruckt is much bigger than Nacht der Untoten, having about 8 more rooms and two spawn points but has short corridors and is mainly close quarters. The map is almost symmetrical, with each side having two perk vending machines and balconies. The Power Room is also at the far end of the map, making players cross the entire map to turn on the power.



Unusual Map Features
It would appear that some sort of surgery, brain surgery perhaps, or perhaps dentistry, was carried out at the German starting point. A chair in the starting area seemingly indicates this. Crouching and using the 'reload' button causes two sounds to play: the sound of a drill, followed by the sound of a man screaming. All of the blood stains on the walls and floor seem to indicate that it was done brutally or carelessly, if not both. In the kitchen, initially accessed by the people in the American half of the building, there is writing on the wall. There are strange symbols and what appears to be a headless man drawn in blood. Also, on the American side of the map there is a white, tiled room in which there is a table covered in blood with a knife sticking out of it. When the player enters this room the laugh of a little girl can be heard (Possibly Samantha). Once all the rooms are open, a scream or a laugh is heard.

Rooms
In multiplayer, the players spawn in two 'faction' areas separated by a door powered by electricity, which can only be opened once the electricity is restored. These 'faction' areas show the symmetrical quality of Verruckt: One area has American weaponry available, and the other has German weaponry. The guns are organized so that each German/American weapon has a counterpart in the corresponding rooms (e.g. A bolt-action rifle and a semi-automatic rifle can be obtained from the starting room, and an SMG and a shotgun can be attained in the second room). The weapons have an interesting technicality: all the corresponding weapons have smaller magazines for ammo in the American area than in the German area, except in the case between the Kar98k and the Springfield. The Springfield has the same magazine size as the Kar98k (all bolt-actions do), but is much weaker and has harder sights to aim with than those of the Kar98k. A rule applies to the 'seperated spawning' system of this map: If someone plays the map solo, he will randomly spawn in one of the two areas.The same applies to 2-player, online and offline. If there are three players, then two will be in a room together, and the third player will be alone in the other. Therefore, having three players is the most challenging way to play without the power on because if the person who is alone in a room is downed, no one can revive them. If there are four players, then two spawn to each room. All parts of the electric door, including the window, are bulletproof, so the player cannot shoot at an enemy Zombie through the door. Windows can be shot through, while walls require visual openings to shoot through. Staircases and doors have barricades that can be unlocked.

Zombie Behavior
The zombies are smarter, faster and more aggressive than in Nacht der Untoten. Crawling zombies are sometimes faster than walkers, and seem to be three times faster than in Nacht der Untoten. Zombie attacks can "down" a player after getting hit only once or twice without Juggernog. They can attack through barricaded windows and climb through them if there are a few planks missing. They also have voices and will scream or yell. Certain zombies are also goose-stepping. If the player takes the time to look at some zombies then he can see surgical marks on their head, possibly some died during surgery and were buried. They also gain strength twice as fast, as if round 1 in Verrückt is the same as round 2 in Nacht der Untoten, and so on.

The Electric Generator
The electric generator room is located on the second floor across the complex from both spawn points. The room can be accessed after unlocking three rooms on the left spawn point and five rooms on the right spawn point. The electricity is restored by activating a power switch across from the generator in the room. Once the electricity is restored, the door separating the left and right spawn points is unlocked. In addition, the electro-shock barriers on the balconies can also be activated, and players can now purchase perks through the "Perk-a-cola" vending machines. The electric barriers will disintegrate any zombies that pass though them.

However, be warned that the electric barriers can be mixed blessings. Any player that touches one while it is active will automatically be put into Last Stand, (unless they have the Juggernog perk) and cannot be revived unless he is pushed out of the way by a zombie or the defenses shut down. It is possible to continuously revive a player in this situation, but it will drastically increase his downed statistic. Also, any players who are not already on either of the balconies when the barriers are activated will be trapped inside until the power runs out. Finally, there is a delay of roughly one second between a zombie passing through a barrier and its death. This should not be a problem as long as players keep their distance from the barriers.

Also, it costs 1000 points to activate an electric barrier, and they do not last very big a portion of the round (unless the player is on solo mode or two player). The player doesn't receive points when a zombie is killed by the electric barrier, so while at this point in the game the player should be pretty rich in points, he still has to activate the barriers many times per round and will probably run out of points quickly. It is recommended that, even though it may seem like a waste of precious ammo, before a zombie runs into the electric barrier, shoot at it just for the sake of keeping his points. Likewise, the player can knife a zombie quickly right after they come through the barrier. But make sure to quickly back away before they can hit the player.

Sound Effects
See: Zombie Verrückt/Quotes

Character voices and, to a limited extent, Zombie voices are added to this map.

Weapon Placement
There are more chalk lined weapon spawns. In addition, upstairs on either side, the Bouncing Betty is available only as a one time (purchase) weapon for 1000 points, but two more are received at the beginning of each round (and through Max Ammo powerup in the Black Ops version), and previously placed mines remain.

The Gewehr 43, Springfield, Kar98k, MP40, Double-Barreled Shotgun, Trench Gun, Thompson, STG-44, M1 Garand, and the BAR are able to be the chalk drawings. If the gun is already equipped, ammo can be purchased for half the price of the gun.

An interesting note is that each the left spawn has German weapons on the wall until the power room, while the right side has the American equivalent weapons in the respective locations (for example, each has a bolt action rifle and a semi-automatic rifle in the spawn, a submachine gun after the first barrier, and an automatic rifle after the second barrier).

The American side is at a slight disadvantage, as every weapon has a smaller magazine than its German counterpart. This excludes the Springfield, though the Springfield is weaker than the Kar98K (not to mention the fact that you need to open 2 more doors to reach the power room).

The Mystery Box
The mystery box in Verruckt is different from the one in Nacht der Untoten. The odds of getting a very good weapon are slim in the beginning rounds, but get better as you progress. Also, if you use the box too much, you will receive a teddy bear. If this happens, then the box will float into the air and disappear. It will then spawn to an other location in the map. In the World at War version, it will only spawn to a room that has been opened, if you have every door opened then it will spawn in a certain order. In the Black Ops version, it can spawn in a room where you'll have to open the door to get to.

Available Weapons
Cost shown is amount of points required to buy from the chalk drawings. All weapons can be received from the mystery box. Weapons without a price shown are received randomly from the mystery box (950 points) and extra ammo can only be received via ammo pickup, and new weapons have been added to the Random Box, namely, the PPSh-41 is now available at the Mystery Box.

Strategy
See: Verruckt/Strategies.

Verruckt in Call of Duty: Black Ops
Verruckt is available in the Prestige and Hardened Editions of Black Ops. The Cold War era weapons can be accessed from the Mystery Box. One small change is that the Springfield has been replaced by the Kar98k. A new Wonder Weapon, the Winter's Howl, is now available in the mystery box.

The zombies that were exclusive to this map in World at War that ran faster than the player (as if the zombie were sprinting) have been removed to decrease the difficulty making it a little easier to get to the higher rounds. They also have been known to go to windows far from the player making waves long.

In the World at War version of Verruckt, radios could be found in the map, but were not interactive. In Black Ops, however, at least one is. It is located on a desk, visible from a window on the balcony of the 'American' side of the map. When shot, it will play various music from the campaign. It can be seen here

Also the window that doesn't spawn zombies near the Speed Cola spawns zombies now even if the players didn't open the door to the left of Speed Cola.

Note that it can be annoying as, for example, if a zombie is left of you, the groaning of it will be heard from all sides of you.thumb|300px|right

Trivia

Glitches & Easter Eggs

 * In one of the trailers, only three Marines were present. Also in a vbush document it was said Dempsey was sent in with a squad of Marines to contain the outbreak. With this said, one could say that Dempsey jumped ship and followed Richtofen to Shi No Numa, leaving the three Marines to fend for themselves and contain it or that in the storyline there were only three marines and the fourth is only there for the purpose of making gameplay easier.
 * In the German spawn point, go prone in front of the grenades and move as far up to the wall as possible. Crouch, then stand and look straight up and to the right. This glitch was patched as of April 10, 2009.
 * The fastest zombie type of the entire Nazi Zombies series first appears in this map. They appear to be in an outright sprint. However, this type of zombies have been removed in the Black Ops version of the map, but still remain in the World at War version.
 * There is a glitch in the AI, if a zombie spawns downstairs then all of the players go upstairs the zombie(s) will break down the barrier and stand outside until a player gets close enough to them.
 * There is a glitch that allows the player to carry more than two weapons:
 * The player needs at least two weapons, one Bouncing Betty (if the player has two, one must be put down), enough points to buy a weapon of his choice, and enough points to buy a perk.
 * Go up to a Perk-a-Cola machine.
 * Place the Betty on the ground and immediately buy the perk while he does not see the player's hand. If you buy the perk before your weapon name appears, you bought it too early.
 * After drinking the perk-a-cola the player will notice that he will not be carrying anything. Do not press the switch weapons button. Use this opportunity to buy a new weapon. If the player is using Quick Revive or Juggernog it is a good idea to buy one of the nearby bolt action rifles as they only cost 200 points and allows him to defend himself with another weapon whilst going to get the weapon he wants. It also means the player can't get that particular rifle from the Mystery box.
 * The player will now have his recently purchased weapon (which can be traded for a better one like normal) and the two other weapons he initially had.
 * Repeat for every Perk-a-Cola vending machine to become a walking armory.
 * Remember, once the player is downed he loses his perks, and the process can be repeated all over again.
 * This weapon glitch is very useful, as running out of ammo is a very common problem in later levels.
 * If a players buys a weapon while carrying a Bouncing Betty (in the hand), the player will now permanently carry that one weapon until the game ends. It can still be traded. This glitch could be useful if the player would like a challenge.
 * Another multiple weapons glitch is to buy Bouncing Betties, and randomly place one. Then have another player down themselves with a grenade, making sure that they are facing the opposite direction as the player. Then pull RT/press R1 to place the player's second Betty on the downed teammates head and when the Betty hits the ground begin holding X/use button when the player's teammate is revived the player's hands should be empty and the player should be able to buy another weapon. This provides a much cheaper alternative to the Perk-a-Cola method.
 * When the player goes upstairs on the German side, go to the toilet on the far left and press the "use" key three times and the song "Lullaby for a Dead Man" will play.
 * On the German side, in the starting room, there is a dentist's chair. If the action button is pressed up to the chair, you will hear a drill and a man screaming.
 * If using the dentist chair on the I-phone you get a achievement/trophy for it.
 * There are lots of writings on the walls on the room with the Sawed Off Shotgun and Speed Cola and in the kitchen right next to that room. There are dates, tallies and pictures, all of which are drawn in blood. The dates refer to the Tunguska event, which is related to the Nazi Zombies story.
 * As with the rest of the Nazi Zombie maps, after the player dies, when the music stops, repeatedly tapping the Y or Triangle button will make his character spawn in the third person view.
 * If the player shoots the Panzerschrek into the center fountain, the whole outside of the asylum will be submerged in water.
 * If the player no-clips out of the map, and walks around, he can jump in a river. This will cause the player to fall and go back to round 1. There are also weapons (all of the deployable weapons) lined up outside the map.
 * If the player crouches next to the open crematory oven, he can hear a man, a women and a baby crying. Players can only hear them one at a time. Easiest to hear in early rounds. This is an example of Ghosts.
 * In the Mystery Box starting room, if the player crouches next to all of the electrical equipment, he can hear numbers. These numbers have been claimed to be: 4 8 15 16 23 42. Henceforth, it is considered a reference to the popular TV show, Lost.
 * If the player flies through the Quick Revive machine and underground with the noclip cheat, there will be 12 usable deployed machine guns (BAR, MG42, FG42, Browning M1919). There is also an MG42 in the fountain.
 * There is a glitch on the iPhone and iPod touch versions of this map which enables the player to travel outside the maps walls.
 * If the player stays near the rubble by one of the entrances to the generator room long enough, they may hear the same voice from the radio Easter egg in Shi No Numa say, "Push, push, push, just keep pushing!"
 * If a player spawns on the German side, have him proceed upstairs. Once upstairs, have him face down the hallway, with the Double Tap machine in view. Across from where the player can purchase the MP-40 off the wall, there is a corner. Once assured he is in the corner far as he can, have him down/kill himself with a grenade. Let him die, because it can ruin the glitch if someone revives him. Once the player who died spawns, head upstairs to the same hallway where the one player died. Have the person who didn't die go and cover the window, and the person who did die, have him run and crouch into the corner of the Double-Tap machine(where the left side of the machine touches the wall). The player must ensure that everyone (including the 2 other teammates on the other side of the door) stay behind the Double Tap machine (Behind as in on the power generator half, not the spawn point half. When the player's other 2 teammates want to re-unite, have them come to the player's side when there are few zombies or a crawler. Also, ensure that the person in the glitch(person who died and is now at double tap machine) does not move, otherwise this will un-glitch it and zombies will attack (all zombies at the top of the staircase will attack even if the player returns into corner, after that, if they are in the corner, zombies will return to glitching). If done correctly, the player should have a highly successful barrier glitch and will be able to make it to a high level. Do not open the door in the double tap hallway that leads to the power room, as zombies will then come from 3 directions, rather than 2.
 * When used in conjunction, the multiple weapons glitch and the glitch mentioned above provide a stable and extremely effective camping strategy.
 * This map is seen in the loading screen of Kino Der Toten, the middle-top picture..
 * If the player is on the German side, they must purchase all the doors up until the Speed Cola room. Then, the players must make a crawler. One person must down himself with a grenade on the front side of the kitchen counter (look forward from the Speed cola machine into the kitchen). Let the downed player die. Once dead, the living player must kill the crawler. When the round restarts, the respawned player should hit the box with the little time they have, then report back to speed cola. The player that died must crouch directly under the purchasable grenades, and the player(s) that lived must stay in the room behind Speed Cola. All the zombies will go over to the area in which the player died. The zombies will stay there, unless the player(s) exit(s) the room, or the other player moves from below the grenades.
 * The asylum has exactly the same template from the asylum in the World at War mission, Ring of Steel.
