Insta-Kill

"One slash to kill you!"

- Nikolai Belinski "INSTA-KILL!"

- Demonic Announcer



Insta-Kill is a power-up found in every Nazi Zombies map, excluding Dead Ops Arcade. It lasts for 30 seconds and enables every player to kill any zombie in one hit until the power-up runs out. Insta-Kill's icon is a skull. The Demonic Announcer will say "Insta-Kill" (except in Call of Duty: World at War version of Nacht Der Untoten, where there are no voices) once someone gets it. A "vanishing" sound is heard when the power-up has expired. Many players prefer to use a knife or grenades when Insta-Kill is running so they do not waste ammo. The knife is also preferred because players earn 130 points (110 in Call of Duty: World at War), rather than the usual 60-100 with other weapons. If it is dropped by a dead zombie, players will try to get it once they get the chance or one player runs for it while others cover them. In Nacht der Untoten and Verrückt, the player is only given 60 points per kill, regardless if the knife was used.

One of the features of the new update on the Xbox 360 edition of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 allows players to



get a "Insta-Kill Pro", which allows players to kill zombies within conact. To get this, a player must pick up the po wer up and not kill a single enemy with it. When the same player picks up a second insta kill, they will see a red insta-kill icon appear above the usal. The red insta-kill will dissapear after a shorter time before the white one.
