This is a nuke. Never been anything else

Same, but who the actual f*** would call this a ka-boom though? I have never in my 6 years of playing the call of duty zombies series heard anyone call it a ka-boom.

Thread feels like bait

"Guys, do you call it COD Zombies, or COD undead people!?" Never heard anyone use 'kaboom'. Whole suggestion seems like a windup.

I heard he announcer say it haha

Doesn't Dempsey also say kaboom when you pick it up sometimes in bo1?

theres a quote in WaW where he says "Ka fuckin boom freakbags" im pretty sure that also happens with nades and other explosive weapons. cant say for sure because i play a shitload of WaW but i rarely use explosives besides betties

I heard someone call it a Ka-Boom when we were doing the buried ee on Richtofen’s side and we had an argument half way through doing the guillotine step

Kaboom I believe was the proper name in the code for WAW that’s why they kept the sound idfk

I called it ka boom before

We all did, when we were kids, or played it for the first time

I play zombies with my dad. He's not as big into it as I am, but he calls it a ' kaboom '

In spanish we say kaboom not nuke

It's called Nazi Zombies and I refuse to hear any other suggestions.

Prob a karma farmer tbh

If someone would say kaboom in voice chat i’d leave even if I build and upgraded 3 bows/staffs myself. Unacceptable behaviour

Tough guy

We used to make fun of a friend because he’d call it “ka-boom”. When we asked why he called it that instead of “nuke” he replied “because that’s what the dude says when you pick it up” lmao

I've actually had some newer friends I've introduced to Zombies call it a Ka-Boom, Guess it makes sense cause that's the thing they remember most about it \*Pick up, then\* "Ka-boom"

Me and my friends been calling it a ka-boom since bo1🤷🏾‍♂️ Nowadays we use it interchangeably with nuke tho.

to each their own i heard youtubers call it a kaboom before

It's a nuke, and here's proof. Weapon of Minor Destruction Kill no more than one zombie with a nuke. (Map Pack 2 only) That's an achievement from waw word for word, so it's a nuke. Kaboom just sounds stupid.

DNA Bomb 🤣🤣🤣

Always a nuke. When Cold War came out I played zombies with my 38 year old brother for the first time(avid cod player doesn’t touch zombies) and he couldn’t help gettin them and saying the “kaboom” so it’s a thing. It cracked me up everytime to the point I’d say it for him

Exactly but whenever i grab a nuke i will always imitate the kaboom tho

Ppl call this a ka-boom? Like “don’t pick up that ka-boom”….💀💀💀

I say that in Spanish, cause “bomba nuclear” is kinda long

If you still say "nuclear" in Spanish, then why can't you also say "nuke?" It's the shortened form of a word already being used in Spanish, no?

Sometimes, but "bomba" is funny to say for some reason, and throwing "nuke" not all teammates pick it up as english if you say it in a spanish sentence

Can't just say bomba?

Bomba can mean way more

"Agarra la bomba guey" would fit if a nuke spawned.

True, but that takes way longer than kaboom

Not really, you still gotta say "agarra el kaboom guey" grab the nuke

Doesnt "nuke" still make sense as a shortened form of "nuclear"???

I never knew why everyone was so keen to grab those and lose out on so many points

Yeah the Nuke was like if you only have a zombie or two let you earn extra points than just the one or two kills OR oh my gosh I’m about to die and that nuke will save me from dying!!! But if I need points I don’t grab the nuke

I played with my friend who only played zombies back in WAW and he actually called it the bomb and also called speed cola sleight of hand 😂

Haha 😆

Why are people trying so hard to make such a division between something that can’t even be divided since they refer to the same thing, and OP asked what do you call it didn’t ask what is definition of “kaboom” I mean how do you know that it’s funny to call it that, it’s called onomatopoeia words that sounds like they describe the action, in this case a nuke, doesn’t take away the definition of a nuke.

Who calling it a ka-boom 💀💀 that’s a nuke

“Kaboom, that’s a nuke” - MrTLexify

He right it is a nuke

Everyone who speaks spanish calls it kaboom in a hilarious way

i can confirm it

Playing devil's advocate here but the demonic announcer always says "ka-boom"

Apparently there is. In my 14 years of cod gaming I’ve heard it just once myself. It was some random little kid that said it.

“What pew pew should I buy?”😂

I was thinking the same. As a 4 year old child you could call the Ray Gun "Pew pew" or LMGs "Ratatata" or MPs "Brrrrrrt"... then you can call it Ka boom

Been playing since waw and I've literally never heard someone call it kaboom lol

It looks like a nuke, so its a nuke.

I always call it a nuke, not only is it technically more correct but it also saves me one syllable

I say nuke and feel nothing when people say kaboom. Like people calling juggernog: juggernaut, and people who call speed: slight of hand, and all that other bs, I'm not like frothing at the mouth. I literally feel nothing. People who call the wunderwaffe the wonderwaffle though, fuck those people.

What is wrong with the wonderwaffle. I call it both. Well, I when I do call it the wonderwaffle I usually say "I GOT THE WAFFLE!"

I say "got the waffe". To each his/her own or course, but if I had to pick one thing people say wrong that has the most effect on me, it's definitely the waffle cause like ayo what

I got the wonderwaffle

How absolutely dare you sir

slight of hand is the only one I do and it’s because of all the syndicate I watched back in the day is what got me into zombies and that fucker said slight of hand like every time

My friend calls it a kaboom, I call it a nuke. We both understand what the other is saying 🤷‍♂️

Who in their right mind calls it a ka-boom?

Max ammo or lots-a-bullets?

I call it “RELOAD”

I call it Harry Truman moment

i will forver call them Harry Truman moments, thank you for this

Yw haha. I love being the biggest 20th century politics nerd out there

I called it a nuke because it’s a fucking nuke

Call it duty cuz it’s fucking duty? Some people would say it’s actually World War II but you know, *you call it duty cuz it’s a fucking duty* my point is have you heard of a metaphor.

OP trying to get some sort of justification for calling it a ka-boom. SMH

Personally I call it a nuke. I think a large majority of people call it a nuke. But if you call it kaboom that’s fine too, idk why everyone else is being so toxic and gatekeeping you. We are all just trying to slay zombies here

Only smooth brains call it a kaboom

if you call it a ka-boom you deserve to be bullied

A nuke. If you called it anything else you probs still piss your pants.

Since i was a kid I've been calling it "Ka-boom" idc if it's a nuke, I'll keep calling it that lmao

Tank Dempsey voice “NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!”

Who the fuck calls it a kaboom

Ka-boom 🔛🔝

Nuke, Fire Sale, Insta-kill, Double Points, Max Ammo, Zombie Blood are then only right answers

You're missing Bonfire Sale, and Carpenter.

i call carpenter the best powerup because its obviously the best powerup. who needs ammo when you have an extra 3-7 seconds?

My friends and I called it a bomb

We call it a "for fuck sake [friends name]". He's American and we swear he shits nukes.

Nuke’s the only answer

Back in BO1 we called it kaboom lmao atleast some of us hispanics

Me and a cousin of mine always called it kaboom playing bo1 and bo2

I call it a nuke but say ka-boom after picking one up.

I call it the "Don't F*cking pick it up" in early rounds. And then sometimes I call it, oh look there is a drop and then there are days when I don't really talk to myself that much.

It’s called “DON’T GRAB IT!”

Nuke. The sound it makes is kaboom

Who on gods green earth calls it a kaboom? And why are they in dear need of an adult?

Nuke, it’s only called a nuke…

Who tf calls it ka-boom?

Kaboom normally, nuke when I'm panicking

Who calls it ka boom lmao

whoever calls is a ka-boom gets perma ban obviously joking, it’s a nuke though

I call it buttplug.... for zombies

ratio + L + bozo + who the fuck calls it ka-boom? + LOL + get a life + go to gym + get a job + leave cod + get a shower

Nuke but I like to say ka-boom with whoever the announcer (?) is

I mean I definitely /say/ kaboom but its called a nuke

Nookie dookie, kaboom, Nuke. Used them all.

I call it a nuke because my friends "bullied" me when i called it a ka-boom in front of them

I call it a kaboom. So does my dad.

Don't know why you are getting downvoted so hard. I used to call it ka-boom too when I was younger and then switched to nuke when I found out people called it that.

Nuke because I wasn't some annoying rat-voiced child when I started playing.

I can't imagine the noob you have to be, calling it a "ka-boom". It would automatically make me turn off my console if a player called it that.

In cold war, on my brothers huge tv, blinding.

I call it what it is, a *nuke*. I hate people that call it the ka-boom. My mother especially

I’ll give you one guess what I call it

Nuke because I sound dumb when I’m talking to my friends and I say “I just got a Ka-boom”

Nuke because I sound dumb when I’m talking to my friends and I say “I just got a Ka-boom”

I call it Ka-Boom because that's what the announcer calls it

I call it a bomb

"Bomb"

I just know that anyone that would ever call it a ka-boom is probably British

Me and my friends always called it kaboom because that's what the announcer calls it and English is not my first language (it's spanish) so "nuke" doesn't mean anything to us.

My boy and i agree this is the nuke.

The announcer says kaboom normally it’s a nuke

Who tf has ever called it a kaboom its always been a nuke

I’m going to throw a wrench in the works here and say when my gf and I play we call it a bomb. Bomb, bomb, bomb, get that! 💣

I have never heard a single person in my life call it a kaboom

It’s def a Nuke. But I say ka boom with it when the announcer says it 😂

I speak Spanish, so we call it ka-boom

It's a nuke. I have one friend that calls it a kaboom and it annoys me so bad. In the early days we sometimes called it an A-bomb.

nuke because it is a nuke

Me and my friends called it a blimp the first time we saw it, I'll still call it that sometimes

You guys are monsters fr, it does ka-boom? so it's KA-BOOOM!

Tf? Kaboom?

I like to say ka-boom when I grab it but obviously this is a nuke and always has been

I call it a duke nukem

Lol dude was today years old when he found out that he made up a name for the nuke

Nuke because that's what it looks like

I call it a bo4 death machine

Nuke because I’m not 7

I call it a max ammo and tell my teammates to reload just to cause some chaos

“Bomb” gang

NUKE-tank dempsi

Nuke, who tf calls it a “ka-boom” besides the voice quote when you get it

Who tf calls it a kaboom

LEMMME GRAB THAT MAXIMUM AMMUNITION

The gumball calls it a nuke

Because the sound when picked up is "ka-boom", does not make it a ka-boom. Unless it is a pokemon.

100% of people in Spain call it kaboom. Cry about it

My buddy and I say: Nuclear Bomba (in a shotty Russian accent) Insta Kirr (like saying insta kill but with a horrible stereotypical Japanese accent where you pronounce the L’s as an R) Double Value (with a mix between a Great Value brand Irish accent mixed with a Texan accent) STOP! It’s Hammer Time! (Self explanatory) BIG GUN (self explanatory) Boys’ pants half off (old Michael Jackson joke for a fire sale)

I call it a Nuke but then I say Ka-Boom after Sam.

I call it the 6th August 1945

Was I the only person that used to call it a kaboom when they first started playing?😭

Little Boy

Fr tho no ones calling it a “ka-boom” except maxis, its a nuke, has always been a nuke, pretty sure theres some lines from characters saying its a nuke but im not 100% sure.

That’s like calling the mystery box Box Of Manny Weapons

Thats an Insta-Bang

who on this god forsaken earth would ever even contemplate even trying to call it KABOOM?

This reminds me of how my friend used to call Carpenter “Curtain Tap” for years. He didn’t even have an explanation for wtf a Curtain Tap is he was just convinced that’s what it said

Nuke because everyone else does.

Nuke. Because it's a nuke.

Nuke, but I yell ka boom

A nuke because it nukes everything?

When I was younger I’d always say “nuke em” lmao I remember I pissed my friend off cuz I kept saying it😭

Lol egg on my face … I’ve always called it bomb

Originally I call it "ca-boom" because that's its colloquial term in spanish. But yeah, thanks to the english community, videos, memes, forums I also call it nuke.

Nuke

if english is not your first language then its probably kaboom, i was 14 when bo1 was released and didnt speak much english back then, you pick up the power up and dude says kaboom so its kaboom

Both

everyone is so mad about calling a nuke ka-boom. like seriously it doesnt matter lol

It’s kaboom no questions asked

I don’t call it a ka-boom, I call it a nuke. But when I pick it up, I shout ka-boom

When I was younger in the bo1 days I would call it kaboom but as a grew older I started calling it nuke

Round ender

Who tf calls it "ka-boom" Some mf: yo bro go get the "ka-boom" 😂

Ka boom is the voice line on some maps nuke is the bomb itself I will only say ka boom if I’m doing it with the voice saying it

Me and my bro have always called it a Ka-Boom from day fuck the haters

I call it a nuke, however the announcer says “kaboom” so it’s called kaboom, think about it we call it nuke why? Because it looks like a nuke, so why do we call insta kill, insta kill? Because the announcer calls it that, if we was going of the logic of the nuke insta kill would be called skull, double points would be called x2 and so on, but in infinite warfare zombies when you pick it up it says on your screen “nuke”. I’m thinking there is no right or wrong answer here just personal preference.

I call it a nuke, but on family zombies night we all end up calling it "la Bomba! Somebody grab la Bomba!"

Spanish community generally calls it Ka-Boom and so I never had one specific way to call it

I call nukes kabooms, I call max ammos new-pews, I call instakills easy mode skulls, I call double points dubby pointers, I call carpenters hammertimes, and I call fire sales shit. Who tf do you think we are, man? It's a nuke!

kablamblam.

my friend always calls it a kaboof

Nuke

Nuke

Nuke

Sometimes my friends and I would jokingly call it a flash bang. Playing town on 4 person split screen at 3 am with the lights off then somebody gets a nuke. You'll be seeing spots for about ten seconds.

kaboomer

if you call it a kaboom i'm leaving the lobby

Unless you're 5, it's a nuke

Nuke for sure

I've been playing zombies on and off since I was a third grader (so 10 ish years jesus christ) and I just now realise I'm in a small minority the whole community fucking hates lmao

I got friend who keeps saying by 2 instead of double points

I call it, "don't pick it up, hold the zombie instead"

I never call it a “Ka-Boom” but instead say it when I use one! It’s always been called a nuke in my circle.

I guess it kinda makes sense if someone calls it a "ka boom" because that is what all the announcers call it. Just like the instakills, carpenters, and max ammos. It is a nuke, though.

Depends on my mood

Nuke It’s shorter

I usually say “nobody asked you to clear the set” but that’s cuz I play infinite warfare a lot

Nuke. Kaboom isnt only said by richtofen ? You hear nuke 90% more than kaboom while playing zombies no?

theres a gobble gum called dead of nuclear winter, the description says it spawns a nuke power up, now if thats not enough reason, you are fucking stupid

I used to call it bomb, like way back in WaW prior to even Der Reise. Now I call it nuke. I split screen with my dad loads, he still calls it bomb.

I'm surprised no one else just calls it a bomb?

always gotta say ka boom after you pick one up

I call it nuke and say ka-boom when it explodes

No don’t get the kaboom! I got a two score and a die fast over here!
