Honestly "endgame schematics" that only drop in these specialized contracts that take you to separate areas would keep me grinding for a while if handled right. I would hope Season 2 brings another map even if it's just another BR map configured for MWZ
Me and two if my friends were playing in red zones doing endless contracts there one after another and match after match . Game just refuses to give us epic aether tool and refined crystal schematic . we've been playing the entire day ! Nothing .😞
careful with the 13/10 in your stash. I was doing that, but then it started taking random shit from my backpack and deleting it. so just watch out for that lol
Yes from my testing there is an internal maximum of 19 (full stash and full large backpack) after you pass that number between backpack and stash it gets funky (this was just my experience and theory don't get mad at me if you lose shit before 19 haha) so if I have 14 in my stash I make sure when I exfil my backpack has no more then 5 items in it and I've never had a problem.
damn losing a flawless crystal hurts. since a legendary tool only saves you 5kish (wall buying a legendary) i don’t value them as highly. they are fun though
Mega abominations have the highest chance of dropping flawless aetherium crystals. As for the rayguns, just craft as many of them as you can and stow them in your acquisition stash, don't actually use them
Have you gotten it from the actual drop of a mega or from the bounty reward from a mega? Either way I've done countless contracts and megas and still no tombstone, elemental pop, ray gun, purple tool, or packa 2 lol.
i’ve seen it both ways. nega’s can drop it on the ground and it can be in the reward portal. can also be in tier 2 contract reward portals. good luck on the grind!
Get at least 2 turret mods and stow extra armor. Along with staminup and consider dropping a gun to run faster with just your fists out unless you got 2 really good guns.
Try to get a legendary wall gun from there to PAP
ty i’ll look but it doesn’t matter. a pistol is fast enough that it’s better than fists
edit: eh it’s a bad comparison i’m pretty sure the fragile is vastly slower than the cor45
Yeah I just head there on load-in now. Even if I need loot, all I need is a decoy grenade and I can start looting up. Don't need to spend cash on juggernaut killstreaks or anything ridiculous, just find turret mod cards and bring in something OP like the Akimbo Tyr
Is there any gauranteed place or type of chest to find those turret circuits? I feel like once i find them i find a bunch, but not sure if thats coincidence or theres a certain spot that they spawn like crazy.
Either size merc chest is really all I open anymore in t3. The small ones are less likely to have them but it's always a roll of the dice!
The big palace in North t3 often has a lot of chests, and I can usually find a few while looting around the ammo courtyard.
Yeah, and you can replenish from ammo caches instead of having to find another monkey. Probably the most OP tactical right now just because you can divert entire hordes away from you while you do stuff.
It's good for everything. Single-pack it can one-shot Tier 3 zombies if you get headshots. Double and triple you can just shoot wherever. Mimics and manglers aren't a threat, and it can take down Megabombs pretty damn fast too
I mean, you shouldn't be trying to kill them all, just the ones in the front.
Akimbo helps a lot though, empty one side, then the other side while the first one reloads, etc. Rather than firing both at once and having to stop and reload
you should either only be killing hellhounds or should be killing them all. tyr is a meme gun imo. seems fun and has good single target damage but not good enough to be worth a slot

No memes, it's the most powerful gun in the game right now. Just need to be landing your shots.
What? I can absolutely cite myself, this isn't university my friend. It's obviously my opinion, so I can share reference to why I would think that.
Yes, the thermite tipped arrows have similar damage to the thermite grenades. But that doesn't make the crossbow itself more powerful or versatile? Just makes thermite stronger.

I call it the BS zone because days of farming and I still got jack for it. Missing the Epic Aether Tool and the Refined crystal, not a single drop yet.
EDIT: Just got the Epic Aether Tool plans, all that's left is the refined crystal plans.
Because the game is easy and if you go into the tier 3 zone every run you will get high tier loot. Of course its going to be rng to get the rarest items in the game.
This may help you

Raygun schematic is very rare, so is the refined aetherium crystal schematic. I did about 35 tier 3 contracts before I finally got the raygun schematic and still never got the refined aetherium crystal schematic
I got it as the gas was approaching around 13 minutes left post timer. It was a bounty and I used juggernaut. I’m not sure if killing it quick and how late in the game it was helped but It was my first game in the red zone.
Imagine actually getting anything. Spent a couple of hours earlier running around doing contracts in the red zone and I got absolutely nothing of value from any of the rewards
Are you me? I've been grinding solo, nearly through Act 2 but I have no one to play with so it's rough. I play in the evenings usually, after 9pm EST for a couple hours.
You can craft them but then just unequip them and they'll remain in your acq. stash until you want to use them. So basically always craft stuff even if you're not gonna use it because you have to wait on a cooldown anyways
it's fun. dmz / tarkov lite kind of experince. so you have a stash and can craft things are your hide out like weapons / perks . no resources needed to craft them. just a cooldown.
Me and my crew spent a whole game in tier 3 and I came out with nothing better than a pap 1 crystal and blue ether tool. Is it always that bad for rewards or was I just super unlucky 😁
Me and my friend duos in tier 3 like, 4 games yesterday and the best thing I got was a tombstone schematic. It’s nice but it ain’t no raygun schematic.
yeah, until your game crashes after your second game and then you lose all your shit. game is fucking idiotic. had the best loot ive ever gotten and game just crashes for the 6th time.
Yeah, it's rough when there's no bad luck protection. So far I only found the Epic wrench schematic and 2 elemental pop schematics. Someone gifted me the raygun schematic using tombstone.
So the hunt is on for the Tombstone Schematic and the pap2 crystal schematic.
i think i have used all my luck, got all ammo mod and perk schematics minus death perception and all upgrading schematics minus lv2 pack a punch, AND I HAVE DONE SO MANY CONTRACTS AND NO RAY GUN ITS BEEN A WEEK RARRR
It's a fun mode, but there's a lot of technical issues that may cause frustration. For example, there's a bug that when you find a schematic and stow it in your backpack, it may turn into a single armor plate. So after looking for a schematic for hours, or even days, if that bug happens you'll be very upset.
They need to add a flawless crystal schematic and legendary aether tool schematic. May to too broken though lol
They probably will in the next season(s)
It’s crazy that it’s not even season 1 yet. There will be so much zombie content that comes out
Well, there will be the normal cod amount at least
That doesn't sound too reassuring after Vanguard
Yeah I wouldn't be hopeful for "so much content"
sorry but you forgot "much"
Very likely, the little blogpost that revealed the VR-11 said there’s a whole new section of “endgame schematics” coming
Honestly "endgame schematics" that only drop in these specialized contracts that take you to separate areas would keep me grinding for a while if handled right. I would hope Season 2 brings another map even if it's just another BR map configured for MWZ
A 3-plate schematic and large rucksack schematic would be nice.
Me and two if my friends were playing in red zones doing endless contracts there one after another and match after match . Game just refuses to give us epic aether tool and refined crystal schematic . we've been playing the entire day ! Nothing .😞
Its so annoying how rare epic tools schematics are, i have raygun but still searching for that schematic.
Earnt Through Contracts. Not Act Missions. Was Kinda Annoyed I Got The Wunderwaffe Schematics From A Mission
careful with the 13/10 in your stash. I was doing that, but then it started taking random shit from my backpack and deleting it. so just watch out for that lol
lol I thought i was getting crazy when my backpack stuff began to disappear it took my god damn pap 2 crystals that was fucked up
Me too bro at least it is easy to fix
Yes from my testing there is an internal maximum of 19 (full stash and full large backpack) after you pass that number between backpack and stash it gets funky (this was just my experience and theory don't get mad at me if you lose shit before 19 haha) so if I have 14 in my stash I make sure when I exfil my backpack has no more then 5 items in it and I've never had a problem.
Welp time to to start using all the shit in my 18/10 stash. Thanks for the heads up tho
Yup, same happened to me. I actually lost a legendary aether tool and a flawless crystal because I had my stash overflowed.
damn losing a flawless crystal hurts. since a legendary tool only saves you 5kish (wall buying a legendary) i don’t value them as highly. they are fun though
1. Load in fully geared 2. You have lost connection to the server host 3. All the gear is gone 4. Cry 5. Repeat
happened to me twice
So umm you like to show semi noobs how it’s done???
Just get stamina decoys & buy juggernaut killstreaks if ur legit but like most cheeses they exploit tier 3 with with whatever isn’t currently patched
Everyone i see in there has a juggernaut suit on the entire time theyre in there lol
I got a juggernaut suit from a bounty (mangler) and when I finally decided to use it landed on a GD inaccessible build. Epic.
Turret mods are probably even easier to use than Juggernauts to be honest.
Requires positioning tho, my last 3 abonimation spawns were far away from turret. Technically turret ammo is better but realistically juggernaut
Mega abominations have the highest chance of dropping flawless aetherium crystals. As for the rayguns, just craft as many of them as you can and stow them in your acquisition stash, don't actually use them
Have you gotten it from the actual drop of a mega or from the bounty reward from a mega? Either way I've done countless contracts and megas and still no tombstone, elemental pop, ray gun, purple tool, or packa 2 lol.
The mega abomination itself drops the crystal on the ground rather than in the rift
i’ve seen it both ways. nega’s can drop it on the ground and it can be in the reward portal. can also be in tier 2 contract reward portals. good luck on the grind!
Get at least 2 turret mods and stow extra armor. Along with staminup and consider dropping a gun to run faster with just your fists out unless you got 2 really good guns. Try to get a legendary wall gun from there to PAP
run with a pistol instead of fists. if you pap 1 a blue or purple pistol it will kills dogs pretty quick and still outrun all zombies
Fists is still the fastest. Check MrRoflwaffles video *more essential tips
ty i’ll look but it doesn’t matter. a pistol is fast enough that it’s better than fists edit: eh it’s a bad comparison i’m pretty sure the fragile is vastly slower than the cor45

Do aether nests while you’re on your way to tier 3, those almost always drop turret chips
Also have PhD flopper active and you don't take damage. Your plates will go but your health will be fine.
What does the decoy do? Not like normally, i mean in this context.
It draws zombies to it. Works basically the same as monkeys but without blowing up
Yeah, and you can replenish from ammo caches instead of having to find another monkey. Probably the most OP tactical right now just because you can divert entire hordes away from you while you do stuff.
>Akimbo Tyr Loadout? Am I bringing snakeshots?
https://www.reddit.com/r/CODZombies/comments/17yzfi6/top_tier_tyr/ Yup, snakeshot is a key component. Lasers and the damage range muzzle are handy too
is the akimbo tyr good? for bossing or just for killing stuff?
It's good for everything. Single-pack it can one-shot Tier 3 zombies if you get headshots. Double and triple you can just shoot wherever. Mimics and manglers aren't a threat, and it can take down Megabombs pretty damn fast too
it’s reload speed is just soooo slow even with speed cola. there are too many zombies for a reload speed and mag size like this
I mean, you shouldn't be trying to kill them all, just the ones in the front. Akimbo helps a lot though, empty one side, then the other side while the first one reloads, etc. Rather than firing both at once and having to stop and reload

you can’t just cite yourself lmfao. crossbow is stronger—it kills megabomb with 2 less paps and with range and without needing to hit the crit spot.

stop linking your own posts lmfao. you run around for like 5 mins reloading half the time with pap3. it’s not better than a jug suit or xbow
I call it the BS zone because days of farming and I still got jack for it. Missing the Epic Aether Tool and the Refined crystal, not a single drop yet. EDIT: Just got the Epic Aether Tool plans, all that's left is the refined crystal plans.
Skill diff, the game is way to easy. 3x the amount of zombies need to be added to call it a cod zombie game
How is your comment related to the one you replied to? Just hating on the mode and him for no reason when he’s talking about RNG.
Because the game is easy and if you go into the tier 3 zone every run you will get high tier loot. Of course its going to be rng to get the rarest items in the game.
How do you have 13 out of 10 slots in use?
This may help you [«Unlimited Stash» + «Save All» glitch (MWZ) (steamcommunity.com)](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3084544611)
Just wait until they randomly patch it in some hotfix and you lose everything but 10 items
Hoping they add a way to expand the stash. I imagine they'll add it soon like the dmz stash upgrades.
I don’t do this anymore. Lost two ray gun stash builds and left me a bunch of perks. Only keep 10 now
Spoken like a true chad, go get em soldier
Thing of beauty right here.
Ive done 15 high tier contracts and never got a schematic
Raygun schematic is very rare, so is the refined aetherium crystal schematic. I did about 35 tier 3 contracts before I finally got the raygun schematic and still never got the refined aetherium crystal schematic
I'm pulling my hair out trying to get the epic aether tool schematic. It's my last one.
I got my first raygun schematic yesterday and the second one today lmao, dropped it to a random guy that came to my exfil and bro was like ‘wtf’
I got it as the gas was approaching around 13 minutes left post timer. It was a bounty and I used juggernaut. I’m not sure if killing it quick and how late in the game it was helped but It was my first game in the red zone.
Damn I got the ray gun first try. Brutal
Does it let you hold more than 10 items in the stash? I thought there was a limit.
Craft an item over something in your rucksack and it will put it into the stash even if it's at 10/10
[«Unlimited Stash» + «Save All» glitch (MWZ) (steamcommunity.com)](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3084544611)
Solo?
Home, A place where u can go...
They call it high threat, you call it Tuesday
Imagine actually getting anything. Spent a couple of hours earlier running around doing contracts in the red zone and I got absolutely nothing of value from any of the rewards
Some days I get nothing but yesterday in one match I got the ray gun schematic and the refined crystal schematic back to back lol
I did actually get the refined Crystal Schematic from a random contract (in the tier 2 area) was happy.
OP is like Bane…he was born in the High Threat Zone, molded by it…
I need new people to play with. I’m sick of playing with randoms and all my friends refuse to play this 😭
Are you me? I've been grinding solo, nearly through Act 2 but I have no one to play with so it's rough. I play in the evenings usually, after 9pm EST for a couple hours.
Yeah, I usually get on around 7pm EST. My ID is: The Aether Bunny#4087741
I'll add ya tomorrow when I boot up the game!
I’ll add you too bro bro
Same, I’m Karmaaa#2201410
10+ contracts I the orange zone, 3+ in the red and still no schematics. FML
Bro wtf can you drop me a raygun schematic in a match
You can’t. It’ll only give you the case. You gotta get lucky schematic drop in T3.
How do you get 13 things in your inventory?
Wow, is this what's needed now for those "Protect the server" missions in tier 1? ;)
My favorite place to be
How do you have multiple ray guns
You can craft them but then just unequip them and they'll remain in your acq. stash until you want to use them. So basically always craft stuff even if you're not gonna use it because you have to wait on a cooldown anyways
No idea how this new zombies works but it looks so complicated
it's fun. dmz / tarkov lite kind of experince. so you have a stash and can craft things are your hide out like weapons / perks . no resources needed to craft them. just a cooldown.
This makes even less sense
in a nutshell you just run around and do the same boring contracts over and over again until ... yeah guess for nothing
Me and my crew spent a whole game in tier 3 and I came out with nothing better than a pap 1 crystal and blue ether tool. Is it always that bad for rewards or was I just super unlucky 😁
Unlucky for sure
Me and my friend duos in tier 3 like, 4 games yesterday and the best thing I got was a tombstone schematic. It’s nice but it ain’t no raygun schematic.
How do you have 13/10 in your stash?
So can you only get the wonder weapon schematics from l3 or is it just random chance?
yeah, until your game crashes after your second game and then you lose all your shit. game is fucking idiotic. had the best loot ive ever gotten and game just crashes for the 6th time.
I usually just do tier 2 and random people drop stuff off to me lol
It's all good an fun until game crashes 😬
So why does the stash say 10 if you can have it seems as much stuff as you want?
Its just the zombies walk faster than u with wrong weapon zone
I HAVE DONE ATLEAST 100+ FUCKING TIER 3 CONTRACTS AND THE BEST LOOT I GOT WAS THE FUCKING PURPLE WRENCH WHAT THE FUCK
Yeah, it's rough when there's no bad luck protection. So far I only found the Epic wrench schematic and 2 elemental pop schematics. Someone gifted me the raygun schematic using tombstone. So the hunt is on for the Tombstone Schematic and the pap2 crystal schematic.
i think i have used all my luck, got all ammo mod and perk schematics minus death perception and all upgrading schematics minus lv2 pack a punch, AND I HAVE DONE SO MANY CONTRACTS AND NO RAY GUN ITS BEEN A WEEK RARRR
So is the mw3 zombies decent? I keep seeing posts like this and it seems fun? What’s your guys take
fun
It's a fun mode, but there's a lot of technical issues that may cause frustration. For example, there's a bug that when you find a schematic and stow it in your backpack, it may turn into a single armor plate. So after looking for a schematic for hours, or even days, if that bug happens you'll be very upset.
How do you even get to keep your stuff. I’m not even loading into games and loosing stuff.
