Call of Duty: World at War - Death Card Guide

Find ALL the Death Cards and unlock ALL the cheats - our videos show you how

Words: Chris Antista, GamesRadar US

Gone are the laptops of last year’s Call of Duty 4. Death Cards are this fall’s hottest searchable, and finding all 13 in Call of Duty: World at War’s single player campaign opens up a bevy of cheat-tastic tweaks which you can enjoy in the brand spankin’ new Co-op Mode. Death Cards unlock sweet stuff like exploding headshots, paintball mode, undead enemies, Vampire Skillz and much, much more. Think of them like those elusive Skulls in Halo 3, only nowhere near as hard to find... as long as you know what you’re looking for.


Above: Death Cards enable paintball bullets and exploding headshots! 

Given that these are basically actual playing cards (stuck in the brim of a helmet sitting atop a vertical rifle) relative to the size of your soldier, you’re in for quite a bit of eye strain if you’re brave enough to go it guideless. But fear not, dear reader! We’ve listed the location of each and every Death Card. And along with a list of attributes, we’ve also posted a brief video to guarantee you can catch ‘em all in the first play-through. You’re welcome, soldier!

FYI: We’ve listed the Death Cards in sequential order with the single-player campaign. Tank and Plane missions (Blood + Iron, Black Cats) do not contain Death Cards. Oh, and we killed everyone before scouring for these coveted cards, and you’d be wise to do so as well.



 Card #1: THUNDER

Effect: Thunder: Headshots now cause enemies to explode!

Location: Semper Fi

Immediately following getting your gun in the opening cinematic, veer right and head into the first open shack. It’s a damned good vantage point - and looky there - your first Death Card! Enjoy it, this is one of the only times it’ll be this easy. 

 

 



Card #2: HARD HEADED

Effect: Enemies will take less bullet damage.

Location: Little Resistance

Once you’re facing the large Japanese bunker, tuck and run into the trench on your right. Exit the tunnel and dispose of your adversaries, practically unaware. In the very right corner of the large bunker, you can clearly see the Card standing in the brush.


 



 

 

Card #3: SUICIDE KING

Effect:  You’ll get explosive pistol rounds while downed.

Location: Hard Landing

Dispose of as many enemies as possible before running into the building. Before you pass through the structure and on to the outside, look for a small lantern barely lighting the darkened room. You should be able to make out the silhouette of your brand new Death Card.

very good article but im disapointed with these cards, COD4 had much better rewards
Gonri 13  - 1 year 4 months ago 
yep nice, by the way the rifle is vertical not horizontal :D

I still can't believe that COD5 went back to WWII. No one else probably cares about it, but look at it this way: A flamethrower or a carpet bomb? Paintballs or enemies exploding into tires? I'll bet it's fun, but I'll take COD4 any day.

MOST of the cheats in cod5 make it harder to win while in cod4 it makes it easier or more fun...
just somthing i "picked" up...

So this is what you spent all your time on Chris, good job. It came out nicely and I really like it, I am not personally gonna buy the game. But with the time you put it in looks really nice.

first off CALL OF DUTY WORLD AT WAR IS NOT CALL OF DUTY 5, and this is a good article to find them ill try to get them all tonight when i play
DeerSlayer0016  - 1 year 4 months ago 
Cod5 is good but Cod4 is great! i just dont understand y the cards are there to hinder not help. they should be at least equily split. All in all this guide really helps when u try to find the cards!!!
GamesRadarChrisAntista  - 1 year 4 months ago 
I wouldn't say the cards hinder at all. Co-op is already a mode for extended replay, and the Death Cards are purely optional tools for enhancing the challenge between you and a friend. Perfect, IMO.

Plus they share a lot of properties with Halo Skulls, which everybody seemed to dig the crap out of.

Oh, and EXPLODING HEADSHOTS!

I will definitaly need this when i get the game i've heard great things about this game.

You guys wanna know why these cards are a hinder, unlike cod 4?
Its because trayarch made the game. from what ive played so far, the took cod 4, tweeked it, poorly i should add, and said look what weve done! I found all these cards in coop. wasnt that hard. this guide would have helped, but i think Activision should have kept cod world at war out of trayarchs hands.
insignia123  - 1 year 4 months ago 
And why WWII again, give it up. Stay modern. I agree with Smiffy99 up top, COD 4 any day. World at war when im drunk.

Those are pretty cool. I like how about half of them are designed to actually make the game harder, instead of making it something you can run through in 5 minutes.
Tigerpanzer  - 1 year 4 months ago 
I have to agree with some of the comments; these death card rewards really suck! I remember when the MoH series tried the whole undead Nazi thing, it made a history based game, mundane. These cards are only good for the achievement score that is awarded for finding them.
Juggernaut140  - 1 year 4 months ago 
You guys seriously think exploding into tires and a super high contrast are "fun"?

Quit gaming now.
shaunye  - 1 year 4 months ago 
why the fuck would they make cheats that give you a disadvantage???? so fuckin stupid!!!
InfernoLord  - 1 year 4 months ago 
First off boo freeking who to all of you cry babys that are upset they are not "helping cheats" you want to mess around put the game on easy. second stop calling it cod5 because its not, anyone calling t cod5 is not a true cod player. And those of you that wine about how it plays just like cod4, we have the cod4 players to thank for that.If ypu have not figured it out yes Trayarch made the game but the makers of cod4 had there hand in it as well. you cant just take aspects of a game without premision. Lastly, I hope the cry babys that dont like WW2 games stay on cod4 becasue modern warfare takes less skill, you cant spray and pray in ww2 games like you can in modern the guns are not as good so you have to learn to use them effectivly. So take your crying elseware
