While Ol' Tessie might be retired into a scrap heap upon landing on Astra Malorum, there is a way to make this old car sing once more. Ol' Tessie can be activated in Astra Malorum thanks to a unique side easter egg in Black Ops 7 Zombies that will provide you with the power of the Wunderwaffe DG-2 Turret.

In order to get the DG-2 Turret Barrel, you'll first need to complete a few quick and easy steps. Luckily, we've provided each of them below so you can bring Ol' Tessie back online, minus T.E.D.D. And the wheels that get her rolling.

Here's an easy step-by-step guide that will take you through the entire main easter egg quest for Astra Malorum in Black Ops 7 Zombies!

How to Fix Ol' Tessie in Astra Malorum for the DG-2 Turret (BO7)

DG-2 Turret Location in Astra Malorum

In order to repair Ol' Tessie in Astra Malorum, you'll need to first grab an explosive Lethal Equipment, like a Semtex or Frag Grenade, and head to the Abyssal Rim, where you'll find the Wisp Tea perk machine. Once you're at Wisp Tea and you're facing Saturn, throw your explosive equipment at the floating rock that's just to the left of the perk machine.

Doing so correctly will see the large floating rock sit in front of Saturn, and now you can run towards the rock and perform a wall jump off of it to propel you towards Saturn. As you travel towards Saturn in the air, make sure to interact and grab the DG-2 Turret Barrel that's floating in front of you.

After you respawn on the map (you won't die, don't worry), you can return to Ol' Tessie at the Crash Site. Jump on the back of Ol' Tessie and interact with the gunner seat, where you can now repair the wonder vehicle and access the DG-2 Turret. The zombies can throw flesh at you while you're inside the gunner seat, but this can be a very useful high-round strat by first hoarding them up, then quickly firing a few shots of the DG-2 Turret, to rinse and repeat.
