Dead Wire is a Pack-a-Punch upgrade in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It allows the weapon to occasionally fire an electrically charged bullet that will shock zombies in a small area.

The Dead Wire effect will affect up to nine zombies including the one on which the effect was triggered, giving a maximum of nine kills per activation, just one kill below the Wunderwaffe DG-2. It is also very effective, capable of killing zombies forever due to its infinite damage. However, similar to the Wunderwaffe, zombies killed by the lightning cannot drop power-ups and the kills do not charge the player's special weapon.

In addition, this effect appears to activate more frequently than the other Pack-a-Punch upgrades, and will consistently trigger on the first bullet fired after the previous Dead Wire effect has ended.

In the case of the remastered maps of Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt, and Shi No Numa, Dead Wire can only be acquired through the usage of GobbleGum Bullet Boost due to the lack of a Pack-a-Punch machine.

Because of Dead Wire's positive features, Dead Wire is a very effective Pack-a-Punch upgrade.
