Summary

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies introduces a schematics system that allows players to craft useful items like perks, ammo mods, and Wonder Weapons.
  • Schematics can be obtained through missions or contracts, with different tiers offering different items. A chart posted on Reddit can help players keep track of the available items in each zone.
  • In Tier 3, players will need powerful streaks and self-revives to survive against super sprinters and durable enemies. Wonder Weapons and self-revives are also recommended.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 emphasizing loot in its Zombies mode means that there are several rare items to hunt for, and keeping track of them can be difficult. Fortunately, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies fans can make use of a schematic chart to make their hunt a bit easier.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies’ schematics system allows players to craft useful items whenever they want them - though some do come with lengthy cooldowns attached. Gamers can craft perks and ammo mods every few hours, with Aether Tools that are used to upgrade weapon rarity and Crystals that Pack-a-Punch weapons without requiring the use of the machine also being available to craft. Best of all, players can craft Wonder Weapons like the Ray Gun and Wunderwaffe once every 48 hours if they can manage to get the schematic for them.

While a handful of schematics are unlocked by featuring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies’ missions, which feature straightforward tasks like getting kills with certain ammo mods as well as a proper level to conclude each act, many are acquired from contracts. However, contracts in the three tiers will provide players with different schematics, and it can be difficult to memorize which items are offered in each zone - making the chart posted by Reddit user Ziqd incredibly useful.

Players can find the following items in Urzikstan's three zones, with any other schematics obtained as rewards from completing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies’ missions.

Tier 1: Deadshot Daiquiri, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, Brain Rot, Napalm Burst.

Tier 2: Raw Aetherium Crystal (level 1 PaP), Juggernog, PhD Flopper, Dead Wire, Shatter Blast.

Tier 3: Epic Aether Tool (purple rarity), Refined Aetherium Crystal (level 2 PaP), Elemental Pop, Tombstone, Ray Gun.

Considering how powerful the Ray Gun is in the latest iteration of Call of Duty Zombies, it will likely be the most sought-after item in this lineup, though both the Aether Tool and Level 2 Crystal can go a long way to speeding up gameplay. However, while surviving in Tier 2 with just a Pack-a-Punch level 2 gun is viable, players will need to be prepared before venturing into Tier 3. To complete contracts reliably and survive against super sprinters that will always outrun the player, Wonder Weapons or orange-quality weapons in addition to streaks like Juggernauts and a big supply of self-revives are a must.
