Err... Crossbow? Chubbaking 16:04, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Silencer
In the trailer i saw, there were attachments (some of which seem moot, like a silencer) and i was just wondering if that seemed like that was a silencer on the end of the barrell. 24.7.217.249 16:55, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

It's a silencer. You can also see the silencer on an MPL in one of the videos as well... JerryWiffleWaffle 00:27, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

PTRS-41?
Maybe it's a souped-up version of the PTRS-41... What do you guys think?

Can't be a PTRS-41. The PTRS-41 isn't bolt-action. Daniel Smith


 * If you look close, it looks like a KAR-98k or a Moist Nugget. Slowrider7 21:29, April 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm tempted to say it's the R700 because it was around than AND it was modern at the time 1-10 00:15, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did notice that it looked similar to the Mosin-Nagant under the Sight... JerryWiffleWaffle 00:27, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * True it sorta does but the barrel is too long 1-10 00:45, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ummm......
This weapon, Could it be an upgraded and upscaled L96A1? because, it's bolt action, it's a sniper rifle, has a similar, if not identical firing sound. Also, maybe all who buy the Escalation map pack can get the sniper rifle not only for Zombies, but for Create a Class Gloryman3 19:53, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Move protected
What administrator has the audacity to move protect a page while it is named improperly? Grrrr... -- CoD addict (talk) - 21:07, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * What's wrong with it? (I am serious btw) and I am assuming they'll unprotect it completely once the map pack is out. Carbonite 0 21:09, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see what's wrong with it, but in all honesty I don't give a fuck if it's named wrongly. There were at least three separate double redirects to this page and it was a hell of a mess to clean up. I'll unprotect it when it's released, but until then you can wait until Wednesday 3rd. 21:15, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Name it to Scavenger (weapon) because I haven't seen an article the says (Sniper Rifle)  RC  ™   22:10, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Name
Can't we call it Scavenger (weapon) like alll the others?

BTW where'd you find out what the name was?

The name is in the achievments and in the coding

Joseph Tan 02:20, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It'll get change once the move protect is removed and I believe it was found in game coding or files. Carbonite 0 02:55, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Scavenger scope
Has anyone noticed that the scope bears a striking resemblance to the F2000 Scope/Red Dot from MW2? Im not talking about the reticle. Just the appearance of it.

Infra Dead
Infrared? Zombies have body heat? In the arctic? Bioniclepluslotr 21:33, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

I mean its the laws of nature,if a zombie is moving,its mussels thus creating friction which equals heat.even if its dead its gotta use whatever mussel its got left to move ZOMBIE BAIT 368 11:06, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

I seriously doubt that the zombies move with an animal related to the clam? That horrible monkey 21:18, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Scavenger kills romero
It has been shown in a video that the scavenger (PaP, at least) can kill romero

Not Infrared Enough
Well I got this baby out of the box and decided to Pack-A-Punch it for fun and noticed it actually had an infrared scope. I immediately wondered if you could see Nikolai, Tank and Rictofen. You can't. Don't try. Lol. Off-note, the weapon is a total badass when PAP'd. (XThOrAx 01:21, May 5, 2011 (UTC))


 * Not surprising, assuming that the cold probably froze everyone (except zombies, for whatever reason). Bioniclepluslotr  02:39, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Wonder weapon
I think that we can class this weapon as a wonder weapon... Because an explosive sniper does not exist in real life... Knightofgrenoble 01:15, May 5, 2011 (UTC)Knightofgrenoble

I already consider it one. It's better than the Thundergun in my book. (XThOrAx 01:21, May 5, 2011 (UTC))

I agree Knightofgrenoble I think it should be considerd a wonder weapn,not just a weapon.ZOMBIE BAIT 368 11:08, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

I would say this is more of a wonder weapon than the V-R11 is, however unlike the Thundergun and the Wunderwuffe, it's damage isn't infinite. It begins to create crawlers at about round 35, so the Thundergun and Wunderwuffe are superior to it.

I think it is a wonder weapon too. First, the explosion is very particular ; no explosion is like this in real life. Besides, like Knightofgrenoble said, no explosive sniper exist in real life. Finally, it kills in one hit until round 35 and is good to get rid of Romero, so it is definitly a Wonder Weapon.

I also think it is a wonder weapon because of the explosion made by it, not only that it is a yellow burst but of its range too. Also, this game is set in the Cold War and they could not have this kind of technology in our world back than. Don't be stupid, it's a wonder weapon. Also, to the person who commented 2 paragraphs up, how the f*** did you get that far? Absorr Total Gamer Talk 18:52, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Anyone else realize the name?
In Ascension you can spell Hyena using the lander. Hyena must be a someone's name. Someone find some info GOOGOGOGOGOGOG. (XThOrAx 01:23, May 5, 2011 (UTC))

Well, a Hyena is a rather scavenger-like animal, so it's already justified. I doubt it would strongly refer to any person. Cool fool 02:47, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

What does that have to do with the gun Scavenger? CoaZ Talk  02:53, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

The Scavenger upgraded is called the Hyena Infra-Dead

Nothing in the story of zombies has [a] "hyena' in it. I read the Kassimir Mechanism node page and it said LUNA was next to HITSAM and HYENA in the code, but HYENA has an unkown effect. That's freaking scary. Nik nik2121 02:15, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Actually at Der Reise written on a chalk board in the animal testing labs is the word Hyena,I think the hell hounds resemble hyenas mixed maybe with another bigger dog.So it vey well could be part of the story,Fluffy could have been a hyena??ZOMBIE BAIT 368 11:12, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Not a Wonder Weapon?
I was just wondering why this weapon isn't listed as a Wonder Weapon, because I'm pretty sure it falls under that category seeing as it only appears in zombies and seems like an unrealistic gun like the other Wonder Weapons

This gun definitely sounds like a Wonder Weapon - considering that it's a unique and very unrealistic weapon that's extremely effective and can only be obtained from the mystery box. In all honesty, it sounds more effective than the V-R11 (I'm on PS3, so I can't actually can't try it yet). A mod definitely should move this to the Wonder Weapons category. 68.110.27.209 01:57, May 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is a Wonder Weapon. Wonder Weapons are all sci-fi looking and fire energy or other sorts of non-solid projectiles. The Scavenger is just a fictional sniper rifle. Bioniclepluslotr  02:00, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Reload Animation
anybody else noticed that it has the same reload animation as the Intervention from MW2? just sayin'...

-Its the reload animation of the l96a1, not the intervention, its just similar because they are both magazine fed bolt action rifles Fastandslow7 01:04, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Title error
I'm done being polite about this. What do you people not understand about naming pages properly? "Weapon" is not a proper noun. So why would we capitalize it in a page title? -- CoD addict (talk) - 01:21, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

It a title format thing. Nik nik2121 02:17, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

HYENA INFRA-DEAD --> LINK TO ASCENSION?
The gun upgraded is called the HYENA Infra-Dead. Remember how with the letters and the lunar landers in Ascension, the word Hyena was programmed in?

Boom. There goes your mind. Go find stuff about it now. - The Man With The Plan

Even though I just read someone put the same thing. Someone should totally go on Ascension with both of these downloaded and see if something happens when you spell Hyena this time. To act like some idiotic rumorist, "OOH MAYBE YOU'LL GO TO PARADISE WHO KNOWS????" But seriously. Someone should do it just to see if something does happen. - The Man With The Plan

maybe you take the lunar lander and crash into Nuketown where another zombie map starts. :P I wish. Nik nik2121 02:18, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

AWSOME
well how many zombies will it kill at once like 24?

Damage
the damage stats the word "high" which is an inaccurate guess by som1 but could this gun have infinte damage?

well i don't know making it infinte havn't gone far enough but we should have a discussion about it before you make guess

im adding infinte
well since no one changed it i i will add infinte just because it is very powerful upgraded acts like a gersch device if u kill them all u won't see them


 * Not infinite. It's an explosion, like a grenade, so it deals high damage, but won't kill enemies further away, just hurt them. Bioniclepluslotr  02:02, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

crawlersfu
it says around round 35 it make crawlers there no proof in this


 * Try it yourself. Bioniclepluslotr  02:03, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * well i hve ps3 could u do it and link it would be thankful
 * well i hve ps3 could u do it and link it would be thankful

It is a wonder weapon
It is totally a wonder weapon. If you agree then change it so it is in the wonder weapon category.HCSnDFTW 23:47, May 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Didn't someone already discuss this with you? It's not a Wonder Weapon. Carbonite 0 23:51, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wonder Weapon: A weapon that is so powerful, or has such abilities that make it from out of this world.
 * Scavenger: A goddamn sniper rifle.- Diegox223  Talk  23:54, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

What is unwonder weaponish about the Scavenger? It fires a torpedo that has delayed fire and explodes in a furious red and orange explosion. It obviously could use one-fifteen.HCSnDFTW 00:27, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Again, didn't someone discuss this with you in great detail already? Carbonite 0 00:30, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wonder Weapon?
Not the first to say this though, but I seriously think this weapon should be classified as a Wonder Weapon, as it doesn't exist in real life or elsewhere in the game, it has very high damage, it special in some way (a sniper that uses explosive rounds) and is apparently made by Group 935 as its logo appears on the side of the weapon. If Ray Gun is a Wonder Weapon, this should be too. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be.  MLGisNot4Me talk 07:15, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Its not a wonder weapon as all the others the reason is that this is jsut an fantantsic crossbox because the ray is plasma the wunderwaffe electricity and the thunder air winter howl's ice v-r11 the ability to turn people back into human and the gersch device is a black hole therfore it cannot be a wonder weapon but i do see where your getting your point from (Demseystyle1 14:36, May 18, 2011 (UTC))

Translated into readable writing: Its not a wonder weapon as this is just a fantastic crossbow because the Ray Gun uses plasma, the Wunderwaffe uses electricity, the Thundergun uses air, the Winter's Howl uses ice, the V-R11 turns people back into humans and the Gersch device creates a Black Hole, so the Scavenger can't be a wonder weapon but I do see your point of view.

My actual statement:

The Ray Gun is a Wonder Weapon because of the achievement Aquire Waffle Weapons from World at War, which confirms that it is a Wonder Weapon.

Wunderwaffe literally means Wonder Weapon, and is part of Aquire Waffle Weapons.

As for the Scavenger, it might not be classified as a Wonder Weapon due to the fact it only has one usage:

Like how the Winter's Howl is designed to be useful with escapes and reviving.

The Thundergun is known as the DG-3 by Richtofen, which is the sucessor to the DG-2, which makes it a Wonder Weapon and the Thundergun is required to complete the Kassimir Mechanism.

The Monkey Bombs are also part of Aquire Waffle Weapons, thus becoming a Wonder Weapon.

The Gersch Device is essentially a Monkey Bomb which is a Wonder Weapon, however it is vital in completing the Mechanism in Ascension too.

The Matroshyaka Dolls are a unique grenade all together, and also are vital in the Mechanism.

The V-R11 is a Wonder Weapon because it does not damage, and it's only purpose is similair to the Monkey Bombs/Gersch Device. It is also required (Pack-A-Punched) to fend of George A. Romero and plays a role in the Original Characters Trapped easter egg.

The Scavenger, however, is essentially a Crossbow that does more damage (note to the above message), plays no (needed) role in any easter eggs, is not needed to kill George A. Romero, does not do infinite damage (as opposed to the other primary Wonder Weapons, aside from the Ray Gun, Winter's Howl (however, the Howl does no initial damage, but instantly kills on a second shot) and V-R11) and aside from it's appearence, is not unique in any way, as opposed to the other Wonder Weapons.

--Gruntijackal, the impending demise draws near 15:16, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

However... The weapon does not exist in real life, and all your reasons for calling the other weapons wonder weapons (Appearance, Easter Egg usage, Intended use(Which is stupid in its own right as there is no intended use for any of the weapons, just suggested use), etc.) are not enough of an argument. The Scavenger has a unique design, uses a non-existant type of ammo with ridiculous range, was created by group 935 and, based on game files, is more potent than a ray gun, So I do beleive it should be a wonder weapon.

Also, just a correction, The V-R11 is not required to deal with George. In fact it only sends him away with no reward.

Damac1214

Well i thank you for correcting my grammer and i see your point but if you notice as i said before its just like a crossbow but with amazing damage nearly all the wonder weapons has a purpose but the scavenger its just an gun with high damage (78.149.171.97 21:20, May 18, 2011 (UTC))

Oh and another thing (which I forgot), you can have more than one Scavenger at a time. This is much unlike the other primary Wonder Weapons (except the Ray Gun). --Gruntijackal, the impending demise draws near 06:29, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

I forgot somthing aswell all the wonderweapons does somthing normal guns wouldn't do. and since when can get more then one(Demseystyle1 20:19, May 19, 2011 (UTC))

You have been able to have more than one Scavenger since Call of the Dead came out. And the V-R11 is required in Original Characters Trapped, not suggested. The Thundergun is required for the Kassimir Mechanism. And if the achievement calls the Wunderwaffe/Monkey Bombs/Ray Gun waffle weapons, then they are 'waffle' (wonder) weapons. The fact that the V-R11 (upgraded) is the only weapon to deal with George in 1 shot is also worthy of wonder weapon status. If the Wonder Weapons wern't unique, they wouldn't be wonder weapons. Also, the Scavenger does not have a ridiculous range, considering that the sniper rifles have the same range. --Gruntijackal, the impending demise draws near 11:28, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
