The wheel is a large and distinctive feature of Zanzibar. There is a bridge that leads to the wheel on the top of ''the flag room''. The center of the wheel contains the [[Energy Sword]] and the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] is located on the bridge. It can be reached in three ways. The first is by jumping across from the defensive base onto a platform.

There is a bridge that leads to the wheel on the top of ''the flag room''. The center of the wheel contains the [[Energy Sword]] and the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] is located on the bridge. It can be reached in three ways. The first is by jumping across from the defensive base onto a platform. The second way up is by climbing a ramp and destroying a pin that lowers a different bridge to the center of the wheel (it is quite noisy though and it will give away your position). The riskiest way is by 'riding' one of the spokes of the wheel up to the top. However, this makes you an easy target and has the risk of you falling off. Once there you can get the sword by dropping into a niche in the very center of the wheel. By slipping into one of the slots in the wheel and riding till you make it to the sword. Or you could lob a grenade and pick up the sword after it has gone flying. | ||

It is recommended to bring a rocket launcher, a sniper, and setting the game so that the juggernaut has an overshield and infinite ammo. | ||

*If you go to the large rock outside the gate on Zanzibar, face it with your back towards the beach and the big wheel, you can see a strange image of what looks to be a creature with a big nose on the rock. Below it is the face of a man wearing glasses. There is also an image of what looks like a UFO on the side of the wall right behind the rock mentioned above. To some it may look like an obscure snake head. | *If you go to the large rock outside the gate on Zanzibar, face it with your back towards the beach and the big wheel, you can see a strange image of what looks to be a creature with a big nose on the rock.
