TranZit

TranZit is a game mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The first map made available is "Green Run" and different locations are accessible by the bus or on foot. TranZit has rounds, and functions like a regular zombies game aside from the size and some of the new features. A new feature, buildables, allows the player to build items in game. Examples include Pack-a-Punch Machine; a new weapon, the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23; a wind turbine-like handheld power source; an electric trap; improvised machine gun turret; and a Zombie Shield, a different version of the assault shield. Players can also add upgrades to the bus or inside the diner. Two new types of enemies appear, the Denizen and Avogadro.

Bus Stop

 * M14 - Inside the bus stop, between a notice board and some lockers.
 * Olympia - Inside the bus station, opposite the door.
 * Turbine - Parts: Dress maker's doll near the map, model plane tail near the payphones, and a fan blade on the seats next to the door that ruquires power from the turbine

Tunnel

 * Colt M16A1 - On the wall facing the player as they exit the bus.
 * Jet Gun - Part in tunnel.

Farm

 * Remington 870 MCS - Inside the barn. Behind the crate to the player's left as they enter through the main doorway before going up the stairs.
 * Claymores - Inside the shed at the back of the farm, opened using a turbine. Claymores are on the back wall. (Possible bus part).
 * Turret- Built in the bottom front room of the farm house. Parts: lawn mower, rifle barrel, and ammo pouch.

Power Station

 * AK-74u - On the side of the shack that leads to underground power facility.
 * Electric Trap- Built on workbench at the top of the stairs behind the door requiring a turbine or that power be on. Parts: Car battery, metal plate/rod, t.v. glass.

Cabin

 * Bowie Knife - Near the back door of the cabin in the woods between the Power Station and Town.

Town

 * Semtex - In the room across the mystery box location; straight across the lava pit in front of the parked bus. Door opened with turbine. (Possible bus part inside)
 * Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 "Jet Gun" - Built with parts from around the map on the workbench in the bar next to stamin-up.
 * Pack-a-punch machine - Under the bank. Accessed through the two safe doors (opened using explosive splash damage), and the door with the lightning bolt (opened by putting a turbine in front of the panel at the power station with the same lightning bolt on it).

Bus

 * B23R - On the ceiling of the bus, towards the back.



Features

 * At least six locations are located in the map: A bus stop, diner, farm, nacht der untoten, a power plant, and a town.
 * A method of transportation, the upgradeable Bus, driven by T.E.D.D. Zombies can latch onto it while it is in motion, and players can climb up to its roof or fight inside the bus to defend it.
 * Four all new playable characters: Misty, Marlton, Samuel, and Russman.
 * Previous Perk-a-Colas will make a return, such as Speed Cola, Quick Revive, Juggernog, Stamin-up, a new version of Double Tap named Double Tap 2.0, as well as an all new perk caled Tombstone (see below).
 * Two new types of zombies, the Avogadro and the Denizen of the Forest.
 * Buildables: a new system that allows players to build objects from individual items in the world. Currently, the confirmed buildables include a variant of the Assault Shield, called the Zombie Shield, the Turbine (a portable source of power), the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 (also known as the Jet Gun), a Turret and an Electric Trap (both of which must be powered by the Turbine), along with the Power Switch and the Pack-a-Punch Machine.
 * There are multiple easter eggs, including the major easter egg Tower of Babble, which has two different paths: the Richtofen path, and the Dr. Maxis path.
 * The original Zombie map, Nacht der Untoten, is featured on this map as an easter egg. However, it does not have the upper level or "HELP" room available, nor any repairable windows. None of the previous buyable items are present either. A part to the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23 and Tower of Babble easter egg can be found in here.
 * A new Perk-a-Cola, Tombstone Soda. Tombstone Soda allows the player to drop down a tombstone at their death site when they are downed, allowing them to retrieve their perks and weapons when they respawn.
 * Black Ops II weapons (i.e. M8A1, Remington 870 MCS, B23R, etc.) can be Pack-a-Punched multiple times for a cheaper price (2000 points), occasionally changing the attachments. However, guns that were in previous games such as the RPD can only be Pack-a-Punched once.
 * A Fridge that is located in the Farm House that allows the player to store weapons and collect them later. The storage persists through subsequent playthroughs, but only one weapon per player can be stored. The M1911, and Ray Gun however, cannot be stored a all.
 * Deposit boxes in the Bank safe (accessible by using the Ray Gun, grenades or explosives to open the safe door) also allow you to deposit and withdraw points for a price (100 points for every withdrawal). The points remain for future games and will accumulate through deposits from multiple games. The maximum amount of points that can be placed in the deposit box is 250,000.
 * When the player enters the thick fog between bus stops, Denizens of the Forest appear, attacking the player. They can be killed with repeated melees.
 * There are lamp posts in all of the main areas, excepting the farm, as well as at the half way points between them. By using a turbine or turning on the power, the lamp posts will turn on and light up green. If a player lures a Denizen to a lit up lamp post, it will dig a hole under it, which will allow a player to teleport. Teleporting will take the player to another, random lamp post on the map, earning the Fuel Efficient achievement. Once one player uses an active teleporter it will disappear, but can be reactivated again with another Denizen of the Forest. Also, if a player enters a teleporter with another Denizen on them, it will somtimes teleport with the player and automatically create another portal at the new location.
 * There are four locations on the map other than the bus stops which are not affected by the fog, allowing the player to move around freely without being attacked by the Denizens.
 * Between the bus stop and the Diner there is a tunnel. Located here is the Colt M16A1 Assault Rifle and the Jet Turbine, a piece of the Jet Gun which can be found in one of three places in the tunnel.
 * Between the Farm and the Power Plant there is a corn field. Following the bus route the player will see a light post that flashes (its green if the power is on) on and off at the right hand side of the road, marking an entrance leading into the corn field. If one were to follow the path into the field, one would see a broken down car and, shortly after it, that there is a path going to the right leading farther into the cornfield. Here, the player will encounter Nacht Der Untoten. There is a piece of the Jet Gun located here and sometimes, there is a piece of the navigation tablet located here too.
 * Also in the cornfield, following the bus route, the player will see several pathways leading into the corn field on their left. They form interconnecting pathways, one of which leads to a small opening under a high voltage power line tower. This is where the Navigation Table for the Tower of Babble easter egg can be built.
 * Between the Power Plant and the Town there is a cabin. Looking out the right side of the bus, the player will see several small fires burning in the distance marking its location. Inside the house is the Bowie Knife, as well as one of the parts for the jet gun..
 * The ability to give points to players through keys in the bank. The keys are accessed by knuckling them with the Galvaknuckles or a pack-a-punch ballistics knife equipped. Players pay 1100 points to create a point powerup that gives 1000 points (see Sharing Points further down the page for more information).

Persistent Upgrades
New permanent effects, called "Perma-Perks" by the community, are a new feature in TranZit. Not all of these effects have been discovered, nor is there an exact explanation on how to get them.

Some of these Perma-Perks stack with the normal perks, for example if a player buys Quick Revive while they have the persistent quick revive, revives will be quicker than having only one or the other..

When the player obtains a Perma-Perk a green flash will appear on the screen, and the character will comment about "something strange."

When a player loses a Perma-Perk, the game will play an eerie noise.

Some of these Perma-Perks can be achieved by doing certain things:
 * A player can get persistent Quick Revive by reviving players multiple times (as low as six, as high as 20+) in one game. People have reported different numbers in that range. This can stack with Quick Revive itself making reviving near instant. This Perma-Perk can be lost by trying and failing to revive a downed teammate (you wlll mantain the persistent Quick Revive if another teammate revives the downed player you failed to).
 * A player can get a headshot related persitent which increases the damage of headshots, and causes zombies heads to explode even when shot in the body. It can be gained by achieving a double or triple headshot with a single bullet. The zombies must die from this shot, not just bleed out from being headless. This can be easily lost by the inability to gain a single headshot within the round.
 * A player can get reinforced windows by rebuilding a large amount of windows in one game. This permaperk means when a player rebuilds a window, the player places stronger than normal planks which take longer for zombies to rip off. The numbers are speculated but an average of around 50 windows is the most known. In order to not lose it, the player must rebuild at least one barrier every round.

Sharing Points
Another major feature is the ability to share points in TranZit. To do this, a player must find a drawer with tags such as the one inside the bank vault. They then have to hit it with the Galvaknuckles or pack-a-punch Ballistic Knife After doing this, the player can deposit 1,100 points in the safe, which will cause a 1,000 points powerup to drop, which any other player will be able to pick it up. The orb looks like a point drop from Dead Ops Arcade or the bonus drop by the QED from Moon.

Buildables

 * The Turbine is built from the dress maker's doll, model plane tail, and fan-blade, all found in the starting room at the bus depot. The turbine can be used to power the Perk-a-Cola machines before the power is turned on, though it should be noted that not having a Turbine at a perk machine you have bought will cause the perk to go transparent, an not work until power is again applied to the machine or the main power is turned on. The Turbine also opens certain doors, and is needed to power the Electric Trap and Turret, two other buildables, as well as being needed to open the secret vault at the bank in the Town where the Pack-a-Punch can be built.
 * The Zombie Shield is built from the car door and the handtruck. The car door is located either in the garage portion of the gas station, or in the room to the right of the workerbench. The handtruck is found inside the diner behind the counter on either side and another location.Players do not gain points for killing zombies with it and their backs will be protected while not weilding it. The Zombie Shield brakes quite quickly if you use it to smack away zombies, zombies that are hit with the Zombie Shield recivie massive damage and they are knocked a few feet away. The sheild can be deployed, similar to the Assault Sheild in Multiplayer. It should be noted that the sheild has less and less effect as rounds increase, and will break faster as well.
 * The Turret is built from the lawn mower, rifle barrel, and ammo pouch, all of which can be found at the Farm. Power from a Turbine is required for operation. The Turret will only fire at a 90 degree range horizontally. Caution should be taken when using the Turret, as the player taking one shot from it will down them.
 * The Power Switch is built from the hand, switch lever, and switch panel, all of which are found in the underground portion of the Power Station. The hand will spawn at the top of either staircase, or to the far right of the second staircase. The switch lever will spawn on the ground next to the boxes on the right before going down the first staircase, or on either of the console benches in the workbench room. The switch panel will spawn on the left at the end of the hall leading into the largest room, next to either set of boxes in between the stair sets, or in the workbench room. Once the Power Switch is built and activated, green street lamps along the bus routes are lit and all of the Perk-a-Cola machines across Green Run are powered on. The power can be turned off, as well, at which point all perks will dim and as well as all street lamps. Activating the power will summon the electric zombie.
 * The Electric Trap is built from a car battery, a metal plate/rod, and the glass front (including the electric connector) of a t.v., all of which are found in the brick building at the Power Station and built on the workbench in the same. Sometimes a part will spawn in the lower area of the building. The trap requires power from a Turbine to operate.
 * The Navigational Table is built from NavCard, Card Reader, radio, and meteor. This can be built at the the radio tower across from Nacht Der Untoten in the cornfield.
 * The Jet Gun is built from the temperature gauge, motorcycle handbrake, wires, and jet turbine, on the bench in the Town at the bar. These pieces are scattered around the map. The jet turbine  is always in the tunnel between the Bus Station and the Diner, the temperature gauge is typically inside the Cabin between the Power Station and the Town, the Wires are located in the brick building at the Power Station after the power is turned on, and the motorcycle handbrake is located at Nacht Der Untoten.
 * The Pack-a-Punch machine is built from the three pieces of the machine, all found within the Secret Vault at the bank once this area is opened. The parts are: the machine body, a car batery, and a makeshift table made from a wooden plank.
 * The Bus can be upgraded by adding three parts, earning players the "Undead Man's Party Bus" Trophy if all three are added in a game. The Ladder can be attached to the left rear of the bus. Once attached it allows players to climb on top of the bus. The Escape Ladder can be attached to the emergency exit hatch in the roof of the bus and allows players to climb up and out from inside. Alternatively, the Escape Ladder can instead be installed inside the diner which opens the diner roof, allowing access to the Galvaknuckles. The Escape Ladder can only be used to build one location in a game. The cowcatcher can be attached to the front of the bus, preventing zombies from jumping onto the front of the bus. These parts are found randomly in the power-required rooms of the Bus stop, Diner, Farm and Town.

Easter Eggs

 * A musical easter egg is activated much like the previous songs; finding and hitting the action button on three Teddy Bears around the map. If they are presed in order the song  "Carrion", sung by Clark S. Nova will play and if done in random  "Carry On" by Avenged Sevenfold will play. Technically, one cannot play these songs if one has gotten the update on the Xbox 360 version. If the update is deleted, these songs should be able to be played.
 * The first one is outside the starting room, on a wooden bench, near a pool of lava.
 * The second can be found in the Farmhouse, on a matress in the second floor of the house.
 * The third one can be found on a cushioned chair, in the bar, next to the billiards table in Town.
 * The major easter egg, the Tower of Babble, can be performed on TranZit. It is an achievement on Xbox 360 worth 75G and a silver trophy on PS3. There are two paths to the easter egg: Dr. Maxis', which requires turning the power off, and Richtofen's, in which the power is kept on, but the player must be playing as Samuel Stuhlinger to be able to hear Richtofen's instructions.
 * Another easter egg is a spot near the farm, in the corn field. Walking through a few cuts through this field ends at Nacht Der Untoten.
 * An old TV set in the Cottage of the Farm Area will play radio messages if the action button is pressed on it.
 * To recieve all 6 perks it is done by getting 4 perks including tomb stone. After buying the perks you want and the having enough money (usally about 6500 dollars) you then must die and drop your tomb stone. The next round, do not collect your tomb stone untill you buy tombstone again + all the perks you didn't initially buy before you were downed, you then collect your tombstone and you will have more than 4 perks including tombstone again for safemeasures. Each time you die, buy tombstone first, then pick up your dropped tombstone, otherwise you would get your old perks back and wouldn't be able to buy tombstone over them (due to reaching the limit). Beware that the tombstone drop has a time limit before it disappears.

Trivia

 * This is the third time in the Zombies mode where a female character is playable, the first being with Sarah Michelle Gellar in Call of the Dead, and second being Samantha Maxis in Moon after completing Richtofen's Grand Scheme.
 * The letters on the diner sign say "North Highway Diner", but only six letters light up, making it say "Now Die". Underneath this sign should read "OPEN 24 HOURS" but instead reads "ON 4 U" as only these four characters are lit.
 * In the tunnel in between the Diner and the Farm, there is a sign on the ceiling that says "Drive sAfelY eXit 1/2 MilE". All the characters are faded exept D, A ,Y, X, /,2, M, E, which some have said means "Day times over to me.", or "Day cross over to me.".
 * In the Town there is a sign which only has the letters lit up to create the word "Moon"
 * Outside the bus depot the words "STOP BUS" is written on the floor, but blood splatter covering the bottom part of the "B" makes it read "STOP RUS".
 * T.E.D.D. can be harassed, causing him to revoke the players door privelages and eventually he will forcefully ejectet them from the bus along with causing the player other problems as well.
 * Because T.E.D.D. is faulty, he often mistakes the bus stops for landmark locations that are not within his driving radius, such as Great Slave Lake, the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Bohemian Grove, H.A.A.R.P. research center, Groom Lake, etc.
 * T.E.D.D. can be disabled through the use of EMP grenades or being shocked by the Electro-Boss, Avogadro. He will cease to function and the bus will stop wherever you are at that point in time. It will restart after some time, and can be forced to restart with a Power Turbine.
 * When the bus leaves with players on it, any remaining zombies or all zombies will begin to sprint faster than in previous maps after the bus, when the bus stops, they cease to sprint so fast, returning to their normal speeds.
 * There are many posters in the spawn area, one of which shows the electric tower (needed for the easter egg) with the words POWER! under it. This poster can also be seen in Campaign and Multiplayer. There's also a "Nuke Donkey" poster, and a "Ride The Bus" poster.
 * There is a magazine rack in the spawn, holding magazines based from birdwatching to scientific research.
 * If the player were to look closely at the bottom of T.E.D.D.'s seat, there is an empty notepad. Also, the seat itself has the numbers '1104' attatched to it.
 * At Nacht Der Untoten and within the Corn Maze, large wind turbines can be seen towering over the corn.
 * Zombies can leap on top of the diner and farm house in this level.
