The Time Bomb is a Wonder Weapon that is featured in the zombies map Buried. The bomb itself resembles a golden block of C4 with a clock on it, while the detonator resembles a golden pocketwatch. The player throws the bomb similarly to a C4, and when detonated, it will slowly distort time and eventually it will send all players back in time to when they first threw it. An icon will appear above the current round the player is on, indicating what round it was placed. Detonating 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. This can be used as a very effective strategy if the player is killed or has made some mistake they wish to correct. 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 both the Bank and Weapon Locker, however it does not rewind doors opened or things broken by The Giant, buildables created and placed, or Easter Egg progress. This means a player can drop a Time Bomb, withdraw their savings and use it to open/destroy everything on the map, and detonate the bomb to ensure the money is back in the bank.
Trivia[]
- The scoreboard will still record kills, downs, revives and headshots made in the rounds a Time Bomb reverts.
- Doors opened after the Time Bomb was placed will remain open after using the Time Bomb. Power-Up drops will also remain.
- The player cannot have the Time Bomb and Monkey Bombs at the same time, however this is now fixed.
- 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.
- If a Time Bomb is placed when a player is down or dead, they will return to that state when used.
- The Time Bomb plays a part on both sides of the Mined Games Easter Egg.
- In solo, the Time Bomb will give back Quick Revive from the machine, still giving you only 3 Quick Revive.
- When looking at the Time Bomb, one way notice the three bars that meet in the middle over the clock on the front. Their arrangement is a reference the the Flux Capacitor in "Back To The Future".
