"Everybody get down!... Ah, no wait, false alarm."
Samuel J. Stuhlinger


The Time Bomb is a Wonder Weapon that is featured in the Zombies map Buried. The bomb itself resembles a golden block with a clock on it, while the detonator resembles a golden pocket watch. The player can throw the bomb (similarly to C4), and an icon will appear on screen with the round it was thrown. When detonated, it will slowly distort time and eventually it will send all players back to that round with all weapons, perks and points they had during that round, at the locations they were at when the bomb was placed. The Time Bomb is obtainable only from the Mystery box, it replaces the Monkey Bomb, and only one player can have the Time Bomb at a time.

Each Time Bomb placed can only be activated once. Activating the pocket watch detonator will produce no effect if the Time Bomb has already been used. If a player gets a Max Ammo, they will be able to place another Time Bomb, replacing the previously placed Time Bomb.

Use of the Time Bomb will also reverse deposits and withdrawals from the Bank and Weapon Locker. However it does not rewind doors opened or things broken by Arthur, buildables created and placed, power ups (except for bottle perks and Bonus Points), the Mystery Box or Easter Egg progress.

The Time Bomb plays a part on both sides of the Mined Games Easter Egg. In Richtofen's side, it is used to enter round infinity. In Maxis' side, it is used to return in time to repeat the wisp step.

Trivia[]

  • The Time Bomb can be used to earn a "free" perk with the mansion's ghost: Before killing the last ghost that can drop a bottle perk power-up, the player needs to place the Time Bomb. After killing the last ghost, the player has to detonate the Time Bomb. This will respawn the the last ghost which in favor drops again a bottle perk, allowing all players in the match to obtain two random perks instead of one.
  • The Time Bomb can be used to open all the doors and barriers for free, using the Bank: Drop the time bomb, Withdraw money from the bank and use it to open the map, and then detonate the Time Bomb. This will restore all the points to the bank, but keep the the doors and barriers open.
  • The Time Bomb can be used to earn "free" points with the Bank: The player first has to drop a Time Bomb while having a large amount of points. Then, the player has to turn the points into a Bonus Points drop using the share system of the Bank. The player then needs to detonate the Time Bomb, which in turn restores the points to the initial amount, but also keeps the Bonus Points drop. Taking the Bonus Points drop will essentially duplicate the amount of of points used in the process (minus the fee that is paid to share the money, the true multiplicative factor is 1.9).
    • This is one of two methods that can be used to double the points in the Bank and fill it to the maximum. The second method uses Who's Who instead the Time Bomb.
  • If a Time Bomb is used when a player is down, the player that was down will be revived after the Time Bomb is used.
    • A downed player revived by a Time Bomb will count on the scoreboard as having revived themselves.
  • If a Time Bomb is detonated having been placed before a player arrived on a server, the player will spawn similarly to when a round ends while dead.
  • Even if the Time Bomb has been thrown, in third-person, the player is still holding it.
