The Giant in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 offers players a reimagined version of the classic Der Riese Zombies map, featuring updated visuals and streamlined gameplay mechanics. Completing the main quest on this map serves as a quick, rewarding activity for both solo players and squads aiming to test their skills. Understanding the exact steps required to solve this hidden challenge ensures a smoother run while maximizing your overall combat effectiveness.
Activating Power and Linking Teleporters
Before attempting the main quest, players must first restore power to the facility to enable essential systems across the map. Turn on the main power switch located in the central courtyard area. Once the electrical grid is restored, each of the three teleporters must be individually activated and linked back to the central mainframe.
Standing inside a teleporter and initiating the link gives you 30 seconds to sprint back to the mainframe pad in spawn. Successfully connecting all three teleporters unlocks the Pack-A-Punch machine located at the mainframe. This critical setup step grants access to weapon upgrades required to trigger the main Easter egg quest.
Initiating the Fly Trap Easter Egg
To begin the primary questline, purchase a Pack-A-Punch upgraded weapon from the newly unlocked machine. Head over to the courtyard area near the Animal Testing Lab entrance. Stand near the metal barrier opposite the door and locate the small control panel hidden outside the map boundaries.
Shoot the control panel directly using your upgraded firearm to initiate the sequence. A set of green energy orbs will immediately fly out from the panel into the sky. This visual cue confirms that the classic Fly Trap game has officially started across the map.
Locating and Shooting Hidden Objects
Players must track down three distinct items hidden throughout the environment and shoot each one with any weapon. The first item is a monkey bomb resting inside a cold furnace located beneath Teleporter A in the garage area. Aim carefully into the dark opening to hit and destroy the object.
The second target is a small teddy bear positioned high up on a fire escape railing outside the map near the power switch balcony. The final object is another teddy bear submerged inside a water cooling vat located on the upper floor generator room above the hangar. Jumping near the railing grants a clear line of sight to destroy this third target.
Claiming the Annihilator Reward
After destroying all three hidden targets, a voice prompt signals that the quest is successfully finished. Head straight to the furnace room inside the hangar facility to collect your prize. Resting inside the glowing furnace is the powerful Annihilator specialist weapon.
Interacting with the furnace allows you to equip the Annihilator as a dedicated specialist ability without replacing your current weapons. Completing this quest awards 1,000 XP, unlocks the map's Gateworm icon, and equips a high-damage sidearm capable of clearing high-round Zombie hordes effortlessly.
