No matter what you call it One-Inch Punch, Iron Fists or Thunder Fistswhatever it is, you have to get them in Origins. These powerful melee items i Black Ops 2 Zombies lets you punch your way through zombies, and they're an easy way to instantly kill all the undead until round 19! Below you will discover how to unlock it in each game.
How to get One-Inch Punch Melee in Origins
There are 4 Soul Boxes around the map that each need 30 kills. However, it is important to know that each of these soul boxes is within range of a giant robot's footprint, and if a giant robot steps on the soul box, the specific will reset to 0 kills:
-
Soul Box #1 can be found by Generator 5 and Stamin-Up.
-
Soul Box #2 is to the left of the pile (Pack-a-Punch) on the way to Generator 4.
-
Soul Box #3 is from Wall-Buy on Generator 4 and Jugger-Nog.
-
Soul Box #4 is outside the church.
You know you've completed the Soul Box because the lid closes, rises into the ground, and teleports away. You don't have to worry about where they go until you complete all four!
You should try to complete the soul boxes after round 8, when zombies spawn more often and are a bit faster, as trying to do so in the lower rounds will likely result in the giant robot stopping your progress.
Once all four Soul Boxes are completed, you can head to the Ritual of the Ancients reward chest located on Generator 6 or Generator 1. You can interact with the bottom icon (the one with four circles) to open the chest and get the One-Inch Punch. Now, each melee allows you to kill zombies with one hit until round 19!
You can upgrade the One-Inch Punch, but this is specifically related to the penultimate stage of the Origins Easter Egg, for which we have a guide above to take you through that process.
