Double Points

Double Points is a power-up found in every Nazi Zombies map.

Ability
Double Points grants every player double the amount of points earned when they kill a zombie or board up windows. Its icon is an "2X". Like Insta-Kill, it lasts for only thirty seconds and vanishes until another player picks it up again. The demonic announcer will say "Double Points" in every map (with the exception of Nacht Der Untoten) when it is picked up. Players take advantage of this and try to kill as many zombies and board up as many windows as they can before the power-up runs out. Double Points is at its best when it is picked up along with Insta-Kill.

In maps Nacht Der Untoten and Shi No Numa, if you pick up the Double Points power-up when a previous Double Points power-up is active, the score multiplier will be quadrupled instead of doubled (every hit awards 40 points). This is very effective at earlier rounds, as knifing zombies will award 520 points. The timer will reset to 30 seconds. This ability is not present in Verruckt or Der Riese.

Tips

 * Switching to a weaker weapon generally becomes beneficial with double points. Killing a zombie with one shot will only award 120 points, while killing a zombie with many shots will award 20 for each hit, and then 120 (200 for the headshots) for the kill shot.


 * Although hitting a zombie more times will award more points, using a weapon that is too weak is still discouraged. The best weapons are machine guns because they can hit many times, but will kill zombies before they get too close to become threats.
 * When used in combination with Insta-Kill, the player is always awarded 120 points per kill, but more zombies can be killed in a shorter amount of time. The extra zombies make up more points than if Double points was used alone.
 * This power up is usually followed (or follows) the insta-kill power up so keep an eye on the look out for it.
 * This power up has no effect on the point bonuses awarded by the Nuke or Carpenter power-ups, unless playing on Black Ops.
 * Using a Gernade in a Horde with Double Points active can lead to a large amount of points gained with some Zombies Dieing and the other horde members turning into crawlers which can be knife for more points if it's safe to venture out to knife them otherwise Wonder Weapons and Pistols are very low advised for points.
