Summary
Some of the best schematics available withinCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies are exclusive to Tier 3, though one player has found out how to access this loot with a Tier 2 contract. ForCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3players that lack the skill to survive in Tier 3 for long, this trick is invaluable.
Following nerfs to decoys, sprint speed, and powerful weapons like the Tyr pistols and Crossbow, surviving in the Tier 3 zone is more difficult than ever. Not only are durable zombies present as well as deadly mini-bosses, but the basic undead foes and the hellhounds can sprint faster thanCall of Duty’s Operators- meaning that players’ armor will be shredded incredibly fast and running away is not a viable wrong strategy. Naturally, this makes it hard to complete Tier 3 contracts if players are running solo, though one gamer has found a way to get Tier 3 loot without actually doing one of the zone’s contracts.

The strategy was shared by Reddit user Alpha_James, and it is remarkably simple. All that players need to do is shoot a Tier 2 Big Bounty to get its attention, then have it chase them into the Tier 3 zone. If the mini-boss dies inside the red area instead of the orange portion of the map, it will drop top-tier loot despite being less difficult. If players do not have strong enough gear to survive in Tier 3 for long, they can even weaken the boss before finishing it off in Tier 3, quickly killing it and looting the portal before exiting the high-threat zone. SinceMimics and Manglersdo not heal themselves like Disciples, they are perfect for this trick, and they also die quickly.
Though Tier 3 schematics take a lot of work to acquire, they are worth the effort, as they can provide some terrific boosts that give players an advantage as soon as they deploy intoUrzikstan. The Tier 3 schematics that can drop via this bounty trick are as follows:
Prior to the discovery of this exploit, the best way to farm high-end schematics has been to run cargo missions. However, with MWZ lacking a solo playlist, these contracts are often scooped up by other players as soon as they appear. This means that players are stuck waiting for them to respawn and end up doing only one each game, if that. Running one contract per match is simply not viable since bad RNG could force players to farm dozens of contracts for something like theRay Gunschematic, though with this Big Bounty trick, gamers now have an alternative. If they make sure to do the convoy and then start luring Tier 2 bounties into the high-threat zone, they could have several chances at Tier 3 schematics every match.
While the Tier 3 schematics are excellent,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies Season 1has added even better loot to chase. If players battle the boss Greylorm in the Dark Aether, they can get schematics like the Scorcher blueprint, while items like the Aether Blade are tied to Dark Aether contracts.
