History and Locations[]
Youngblood[]
Strategy[]
Youngblood[]
- Youngblood has a weapon mastery system for all weapons. The Elektrokraftwerk will gain a +4% damage per level, with each level requiring 40 enemies kill per level. With a max level cap of 25, it requires 1000 enemy kills to max out its damage buff of +100%.
- Ammo is very scarce and limited, making it a weapon to only use for certain enemies. That being said, the player can go to all the districts to get ammo, get larger battery attachments, or get the Kraftwerk Ammo Optimizer and Ballistic Ammo Pack upgrade.
- It's best to only use the weapon to unlock rooms or areas to get health, armor, and collectibles due to there being a relatively low supply for ammo compared with other weaponry (this also goes for the other kraftwerks).
- A great disadvantage with this weapon is the charge, as you might be cornered by Nazis and will have to wait. While waiting for the weapon to charge and begin shooting, you will possibly be downed by taking a high amount of damage.
- It's also best to buy the modifications for this weapon, as it runs out of ammo quickly upon use.
- If you need to use it in combat, it's best to use against armored enemies, or a large group of them as an undodgeable crowd controller.
- Be careful when holding down the shoot button, as you might only be using it to open a door, and will lose battery ammo.
- If using it on an enemy, it's best to not use on tanky enemies with high damage output (e.g. Super Soldiers), as it slowly chips heavy armor and you could be downed mid-usage.
- The multi-arc attachment is useful against a large group of enemies, as many can be taken out quickly, and unarmored/lightly armored opponents (e.g. Neosoldaten, Technikers, Akademikers etc.) are vulnerable and easily taken down by this weapon.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that the Elektrokraftwerk is based off of the Tesla Gun, which has appeared in earlier Wolfenstein games, due to the very similar function and shared electricity use.
