Modern Warfare 3 Zombies’third act of story missions will force players to think strategically and fully gear up before attempting the objectives throughout the five tiers of missions. One mission in the second tier of Act 3 - Confrontation, will require players to kill different types of enemies while under the active effect ofthe Aether Shroud field upgrade. With no upgrade function for the field upgrades likeCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,players will only have a few brief seconds under the shadow of the Shroud to rack up kills.
Players will have to use the field upgrade multiple times to complete the two objectives in the Ghosted mission, but there are a few ways to significantly increase the number of zombies or mercenaries killed with each Aether Shroud activation.
Ghosted Mission Objectives and Rewards
The Ghosted mission has two objectives that bothrequire using the Aether Shroudfield upgrade and acquiring kills - the only difference between the two objectives being the designated target and the number of kills required. As the Aether Shroud field upgrade only lasts for a few moments, players will need to be clever and plan their kills to quickly complete the two objectives:
Once players complete both objectives, an in-game Random Perk power-up will spawn,the next mission in Act 3will register, and players will be awarded theSaw Blade Emblemand2500 bonus experience.
Killing Zombies With Aether Shroud Active
When attempting to kill zombies while using Aether Shroud, players can quicklyrack up kills by efficiently using Kazimir Devices or Cymbal Monkeyscombined with an automatic shotgun or launcher. Run in a large loop in an area to gather up a crowd of zombies, deploy the tactical, and activate Aether Shroud.
With Kazimir Devices, players will want toactivate the field upgrade immediately after throwing the black hole device. Players shouldwait until the final few notes of the Cymbal Monkey’s tune before activating the shroudand unleashing fire with the equipped primary.
As the Cymbal Monkeys only have a small blast radius, players can reduce the number of Aether Shroud uses needed to reach 100 kills bysupporting the explosion with a primary weaponlike the crossbow with explosive bolts or the Riveter with incendiary rounds. Consider having anammo mod like Shatter Blast or Napalm Burst activeas well, along with the Elemental Pop Perk-A-Cola.
Players can further maximize the efficiency of the tactical by operating in the Medium or High Threat Areas and calling in an exfil helicopter to gather a large crowd of zombies in pursuit.
Killing Mercenaries With Aether Shroud Active
To kill 20 Mercenaries while using Aether Shroud players will have to be a bit creative. You can simply build up the field upgrade, run toan encampment or stronghold, and attempt to kill a few mercs within the active timeframe, but this will take several Encampments and Aether Shroud uses.
To quickly complete this mission objective, players shouldacquire a kill streak froma tier 2 buy station(Precision Airstrikes and Mortar Strikes are most effective) andtrack down the Mercenary Convoy players destroyed in Act 1.With the field upgrade ready, tag the convoy with a primary weapon to stop the movement of the trucks and deploy the kill streak on their position once the convoy halts.Be careful not to catch yourself in the blast radius of your own killstreak.
Players will need perfect timing to maximize the number ofMercenaries eliminated from the convoyduring the short effect time of Aether Shroud:
