For the first time, the Mystery Box requires power to be used. Once all generators have been activated, a reskinned Pack-a-Punch Machine will activate. Six 115 Generators are found across the map, acting as replacements for the classic Power Switch, and only power the area around it. Crusader zombies spawn alongside other zombies when attempting to activate a 115 Generator, to attack the players. Unlike typical zombies, the crusader zombies have blue-violet eyes the crusader zombies also make different noises than the normal zombies. Revealed in the cinematic intro of Origins, Zombies in typical crusader attire appear, but only spawn at underground tombs in the map, as well as within the The Crazy Place, a special area that can be entered by using a Gramophone. The map features new Wonder Weapons called the Elemental Staffs that harness the power of the elements, a new enemy named the Panzer Soldat, the Mark IV Tank, a new utility called the Der Wunderfizz, and new Power-Ups such as the Zombie Blood.
The zombies have yellow-orange and blue blue-violet in this map. The 'Original characters' ( Dempsey, Nikolai, Richtofen, and Takeo) once again appear as the four playable characters, this time as younger, alternate versions of their original selves, having large differences in their personalities.
