How to Complete the Billionaire's Treasure Hunt on Shaolin Shuffle in Infinite Warfare Zombies

Find David Savage's treasure in Shaolin Shuffle to earn the Trolltastic Calling Card in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare!

Shaolin Shuffle, the third thrilling chapter of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Zombies experience, features the four protagonists trapped inside a new horror film, set in the unforgettable 1970s, disco-era New York.

Throughout Shaolin Shuffle, players are tasked with various quests as they learn more about Willard Wyler's plan and try to escape the film. Although the main quest serves as the ultimate goal of this Zombies experience, those who dig deeper will find that there's much more to the city than meets the eye.

Billionaire's Treasure Hunt

Before You Begin

  • Progression toward the Billionaire's Treasure Hunt is tracked throughout subsequent matches, it does not have to be completed in a single match.
  • Completing the Billionaire's Treasure Hunt will award the Trolltasic Calling Card.

Locate the Radios

Throughout the streets, subway stations, and sewers of Shaolin Shuffle are radios which, when activated, will play portions of dialogue. Upon activating the final radio, David Savage himself will setup the narrative behind his Treasure Hunt.

My name is David Savage. You seek my treasure. Good luck finding it amongst all the garbage in this city.

The locations of these radios are as follows:

Read the Savage Industries Clock

Navigate to the roof of the Disco and aim at the Savage Industries clock which can be found on the wall. Upon doing so, the following cipher will display, which translates as follows:

Good luck finding it with all the trash in this city.

Search the Trash

As alluded to in David Savage's messages, you must navigate to the subway stations and interact with twelve trash can - upon doing so, a rummaging sound will play. Once complete, locate and aim at the dumpster found near Mule Munchies to reveal the following cipher.

I can't believe you looked in every trash can in the city, my treasure is not even that good! Just stop, seriously, STOP.

Stop

At this point in the Treasure Hunt, Savage implies that you should STOP searching. Just as he wishes, locate and aim at the stop sign found just outside of the map near the Electric Floor Trap to reveal the following cipher.

I guess you are going to continue this insane quest. Well, as my Father always said - "onward and upward."

Onward and Upward

A ceiling lamp can be found within the inaccessible stairway of the Disco. Aim at this lamp to reveal the next cipher.

I bet you are wondering why I am giving away my fortune? Well, to tell you that, I would have to go back to where it all began...

Where it all Began

Return to the subway station in which the match began and aim through the fence to reveal the next cipher which includes several out of place characters that form the word "MIDNIGHT."

When I was (I) young, I was (M) a gifted singer; but I never (D) bathe(T)d - I smelled (G) awful - but I had (N) a great set of (I) pipes (H.)

A Great Set of Pipes

Once the Savage Industries clock strikes midnight, players have one hour to locate the pipes near Tuff 'Nuff to reveal the following cipher which includes several out of place characters that form the words "JUNE SIX."

Well, you have (U) done well (X) to make (J) it this far, (S) there is (N) only one more step. To find a King's (E) ransom, you must first find a King. Best of luck. (I)

A King's Ransom

At the time of this discovery, players were prevented from progressing the Billionaire's Treasure Hunt any further until June 6th, 2017, had passed. However, as this date is long gone, the quest can be progressed without interruption.

The Rat King's throne can be found in the sewers, locate and interact with it to reveal David Savage's trolltastic treasure and complete the hunt.

Bonus: Cheater Cipher

The Savage Industries clock is tied to the real-life Eastern Time Zone. Attempting to circumvent this requirement by changing the system time will prevent the Treasure Hunt from progressing and instead display the following cipher.

(O) You (S) thought (N) you (N) could (N) manip(H)ulate (A) time (T) and (K) get (A) my (J or X) trea(U)sure? (I) Well, (R) guess (D) what? (I) Now (I) you'll (C) never (I) get (O) it! (S) You (U) are (O) perm(L)anently (A) banned (N) from (N) ever (D) recei(I)ving (T) my (I) fortune. (D) There (D) is (A) no (R) way (D) to (D) get (A) it (D) now, (G) you (T) cheater. (T)

Unfortunately, the meaning of the remaining letters in this cipher was never uncovered, until now. Fast forward to June 6th, 2021, and the real-life David Savage, a former Infinity Ward Developer, has revealed the message which breaks the fourth wall.
