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

Ability
Double Points grants every player double the amount of points they earn when they kill a zombie or board up windows. Its icon is an "x2". Like Insta-Kill, it lasts for only thirty seconds and vanishes with a loud, easily recognizable growling sound. The demonic announcer will say "Double Points" in every map (with the exception of the WaW version 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, especially when there is a big group of zombies. Double Points also doubles the amount you get for a Nuke or Carpenter, although Double Points must be active when you get the points and not when you get the power up. (Black Ops only)

In maps Nacht Der Untoten and Shi No Numa, if the player picks 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 any maps after Shi No Numa; instead it just restarts the 30 second timer.

Tips

 * It is advised to time this power up when many zombies are around so you can use it effectively.
 * When combined with insta kill, it is advised to go for knife kills so you get 260 points for each kill.

Trivia

 * On some occasions– in Kino der Toten, Double Points will spawn when you teleport to a random room.
 * When you launch the rocket on Ascension, if you manage to destroy it, a Double Points will spawn outside the Pack-a-Punch room.
