The Scavenger is the eighth Wonder Weapon, and is an explosive-round sniper rifle. It is exclusive to the Zombies map Call of the Dead in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

OverviewEdit

The Scavenger can only be found in the Mystery Box in Call of the Dead. It is a very powerful weapon, being able to kill a whole group of zombies with only one shot until round 35, although it can be dangerous to the player when used recklessly. Ammo is also limited with only 18 shots in total (36 when Pack-a-Punched), and only Max Ammo can replenish it. The explosive rounds take two seconds to prime and have a splash radius of seven to ten meters. The explosion can hurt the player as well; being in the radius without Juggernog will instantly down the player, and with it a shellshock will occur. PhD Flopper will completely negate the damage done, making it a very recommended perk to have with sustained usage of the weapon.

When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the "Hyena Infra-Dead" and gains an Infrared Scope with Variable Zoom, a larger magazine and more ammo.
