Scrapped Weapons#
Bolas Weapon#
A bolas weapon was possibly planned for the zombies map Rave in the Redwoods, found in said map's UI files.
Unused Weapon Variants#
Cut variants for the Kendall 44 pistol and the Widowmaker sniper rifle exist within the game's list of weapon variants.
Judging from the names of the two Legendary variants, it can be assumed that both of them would have been Nuclear variants if they were fully implemented.

Graphics
Unused Weapon Camouflage#
There is only one unused weapon camo in Infinite Warfare. The camo is called "Shooting Stars" and it was intended to be obtained from the Quartermaster. Although it is unused, it can still be accessed in-game by changing data values.
Unused Emblems#
Emblems for developer studios and other companies associated with the gane's development and Activision as a whole can be found with the game's other emblems. These emblems appear to have been intended for employees of those companies, although it is not known if any of them were ever used.




Other Graphics#
Early KBAR-32 Render#
UI graphic of an early design for the KBAR-32.
Cut Multiplayer Perks#
Early versions of Create-a-Class preview images for two cut perks named Awareness and Suppression exist in the game's image files.

Centurion as a Combat Rig Trait#
This unused icon of Stryker's Centurion Payload suggests that it was going to be a Combat Rig Trait instead of a Payload.
Launcher Hack Icon#
A Quartermaster hack icon for Launcher weapons can be found along with the game's other hack icons. Hacks for weapons guarantee variants for a specified weapon class, but since Launchers do not have variants this icon remains unused.
Early N31L#
UI element showing an early design of N31L from Zombies in Spaceland.
Placeholders/Leftovers#
Kendall 44 and EMC Test Graphics#
These two images were presumably used to test menu graphics for the Kendall 44 and EMC pistols.
Leftover Akimbo Attachment Icon#
A render from Call of Duty: Ghosts of the akimbo attachment remains in the files of Infinite Warfare.
vfx_test01.png#
Most likely used to test visual effects.
Audio
Willard Announcing Deadeye Dewdrops#
Unused line of Willard Wyler announcing the Deadeye Dewdrops perk as if it was a powerup, meant to be used in Shaolin Shuffle.
Unobtainable Zombies Perk Quotes#
In Shaolin Shuffle, the perk Slappy Taffy cannot be obtained by any normal means. In Attack of the Radioactive Thing, the perk Trailblazers cannot be purchased in the map, but can still be obtained via the Skull Hop side quest.
Despite this, voice lines for characters purchasing these perks are present within their respective maps' audio files.

Other
Map File Name Discrepancies#
The codenames for some maps differ from what the maps actually look like, which suggest these maps were different at one point in development.
- Genesis Holiday's codename is
mp_dome_dusk(domeis the codename for Genesis), which seems to suggest the map originally was only intended to be a sunset version of the base map and the Christmas content was only considered later.
Oddities#
- The Erad is referred to as "ERAD" in Zombies.
- The Deatomizer Strike icon that appears when it is obtained is different between Free-for-All and Team Deathmatch, appearing normal in the former and with a stylized logo in the latter. It isn't apparent why there is a difference.
