The Olympia (called Rottweil 72 in the game files) is an over and under double-barreled shotgun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
Call of Duty: Black Ops[]
Campaign[]
The Olympia can be found frequently throughout the level "Payback," in which it is considerably effective, but still suffers the same problems as it does in multiplayer; specifically, the lack of range and constant need to reload, meaning that on higher difficulties, this weapon will be largely ignored and longer range weapons will be used.
Multiplayer[]
The Olympia is a part of the default CQB class, and is always unlocked for the player's use.
The Olympia fires eight pellets per shot. At any range short of ten meters, the Olympia will deal forty damage per pellet, requiring three pellets to kill an enemy. Damage linearly reduces until fifteen meters, where the Olympia will deal ten damage per pellet, requiring ten pellets to kill an enemy. The Olympia ceases to do damage past fifteen meters. The Olympia has low penetration power and does not receive a damage bonus with a Headshot.
The Olympia is semi-automatic, firing at a rate of 212 RPM. There is a mandatory 283 millisecond delay until the next shot can be fired.
The Olympia has the default shotgun hip-fire spread, and the Olympia doesn't gain tighter spread when aiming down the sight, but rather a slightly wider spread.
The Olympia allows users to move at 100% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 40% of the base movement speed. The Olympia's reload animation is 3.3 seconds long to reload one barrel, or 3.9 seconds long to reload both barrels. The Olympia's reload cancel time depends on if the user is performing a partial or empty reload. A partial reload can be reload cancelled in 2.15 seconds, and an empty reload can be reload cancelled in 2.65 seconds.
Being a double-barrel shotgun, the Olympia can fire two shots before needing to reload. The Olympia has a starting ammo loadout of twenty rounds.
The Olympia has no attachments available.
Zombies[]
The Olympia is available in Zombies as an easily available weapon, spawning alongside the M14 near or relatively near the player spawn on all maps except Dead Ops Arcade and the Call of Duty: World at War classic maps. It costs only 500 points, the amount players spawn in with. It functions much like the Double-Barreled Shotgun in the Call of Duty: World at War maps, though it is cheaper and available right away at the cost of being weaker and having less ammo. If aimed well, one shot of the gun will kill Hellhounds in the later rounds. Although it is very effective, after round 6, it loses its one-shot-kill capability. It can be a very useful gun with Juggernog and Speed Cola. Double Tap Root Beer seems to have little effect because of its low magazine capacity. It is not recommended to keep the Olympia after round 7, unless it is Pack-a-Punched.
- Kino der Toten - At the bottom of left staircases in the starting room
- Five - In the starting area, in a small hallway where Quick Revive is found.
- Ascension - In the centrifuge room on the second floor.
- Call of the Dead - On the bridge towards the left of where players spawn.
- Shangri-La - On a wall left of the spawn point.
- Moon - On a wall outside the area with Quick Revive (near Tunnel 6).
When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the Olympia becomes the Hades, with an increase in power, range, as well as switching to incendiary rounds with 60 extra rounds. Plus, its reload speed seems to increase (not as much as Speed Cola would). The Hades kills zombies effectively until around rounds 19 to 20 and is a good window-watcher weapon. It always kills Hellhounds in one shot to the head regardless of how late it is in the rounds.

The Olympia returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies, much the same as it was in the previous installment. It is available for 500 points off the wall near the start on each map except Origins, where it is replaced by the Ballista with the Iron Sight attachment. It performs similarly, if not identically to its Call of Duty: Black Ops counterpart, remaining a one-shot-kill until about round 6, unless Double Tap Root Beer is purchased, in which case it retains its one-hit-kill ability until round 11. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the Hades, and cannot be Pack-a-Punched more than once. If Double Tap Root Beer is used on Hades, it will still kill within one shot until round 28. With only two shells in the magazine, it quickly becomes ineffective afterwards, even though it is a two shot kill until round 30.
- Bus Depot/TranZit - On a wall towards the left of the manniquin buildable piece.
- Farm - On the wall in the bigger barn that replaces where the Remington 870 MCS would be in TranZit.
- Town - On a wall next to the entrance of the Semtex room.
- Nuketown Zombies - On the front of one of the trucks in the center of the map
- Die Rise - On a wall in the starting area to the right of the first door.
- Mob of the Dead - In the library in the starting room.
- Buried - In Processing, in between 2 barriers, right of the balcony near the Rift.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Even if there is only one shell in reserve ammo, the player will still load 2 shells.
- The name of the Pack-a-Punched Olympia is "Hades". This name is likely a play of the name "Olympia", as the 12 principal Greek Gods were known as the "Olympians", who supposedly lived on Mt. Olympus in Greece, Hades being the god of the dead and the Underworld. The refence is further implied with the addition of the dragon breath shells with the Hades as the underworld is shown to be a land covered in fire and lava.
Call of Duty: Black Ops[]
- Once shells ejected from the Olympia, the word "SPICY 3" can be seen.
- When Gold Camouflage is applied to the gun, the shells will also be golden. The same happens with the SPAS-12 and the Stakeout.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II[]
- In TranZit, Die Rise and Buried, a Persistent Upgrade can be acquired which replaces the Olympia with the Ray Gun.
- The Olympia is seen in the opening cutscene of Origins being used by Nikolai Belinski, but is absent from actual gameplay.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III[]
- The shells ejected from the Olympia now have "00 BUCK", "EXTRA SPICY", and "2 3/4" written on them.
