difficulty and time are an estimate made while writing, not a measurement.
before you start
- a game that reaches round 10 or higherthe Redeemer will not start below it
- the plane builtone of the Redeemer steps happens on the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where the plane crashes
- a round where you use nothing elsethe Redeemer wants thirty kills in one round with the tomahawk and nothing but the tomahawk
the steps
six zombies each, into three Cerberus heads:
- the Broadway cell block, near the
B23R - the infirmary, next to the Afterlife power box
- the docks, on the lower level near the workbench
when all three have sunk back into the wall and the dog head icon is glowing, a room opens under the sign of three dog heads down in the Citadel Tunnels, near
Double Tap. theHell's Retrieveris in the hole in the wall below the emblems.both sources put the three heads in the same three rooms and the retriever in the same hole.
tiplose it by bleeding out and it is not gone: walk back to that room and pick it up again.
- the Broadway cell block, near the
about ten to fifteen kills with the
Hell's Retriever. you hear the Afterlife sound and a bit of music when it counts.everything below has to be done by each player separately. one person unlocking the Redeemer does not unlock it for anybody else, though you can all work through it at the same time.
on round 10 or higher, spend a full round on the Golden Gate Bridge and get thirty kills with the tomahawk inside that one round.
the Afterlife sound at the end of the round is how you know.
you only get this wrong oncefire any weapon and the step restarts. knifing at the air is fine; a single panicked shot is not.
throw the
Hell's Retrieverinto the lava pit under the Cerberus head by theB23R. it does not come back, which is the only time that happens, and you hear the Afterlife sound again.tipthere is easy access to the pit under the ramp that leads up to the
B23R, which is a much better throwing angle than from above.on any round after that, go back to the room in the Citadel Tunnels where the tomahawk was. it is empty and the glow is blue rather than red.
go into Afterlife and pick the
Hell's Redeemerup. charged once it kills anything, it charges three times instead of two, and Brutus still needs more than one hit while his helmet is on.you only get this wrong onceonly on Original difficulty. on anything else none of this happens.
arrow keys or j and k to move, d to tick this one off.
all of it, done.
