New content is coming to Modern Warfare 3 Zombies with season two, meaning a lot more zombies will need to be put down.
The new season will present new challenges and provide rewards alongside other gameplay changes for CoD players to enjoy. Now that the patch notes have officially released, let’s take a look at what to expect in MW3 Zombies in season two.
New story missions take you to a new Rift
Season two will introduce a new set of missions to the story, perhaps via an entirely new act. This will include another story mission that takes the player and their party to a Dark Aether Rift.
But this time around, it’s a new Rift. While exploring the new Rift during the story mission, which can typically be started via a starred extraction point on the map, players should be accompanied by an “expert” guide in Sergei Ravenov. The second Rift will be a makeshift “maze,” featuring “cryptic clues and timed tasks all while facing down the largest infested Stronghold yet seen,” according to Activision.
Completing the second Rift should reward a player with Classified Schematics.
New Classified Schematics
Three new Classified Schematics will become available in season two:
- Mags of Holding: Feed ammunition automatically into your weapon without reloading.
- Blood Burner Key: Instantly summon the Blood Burner Wonder Vehicle.
- V-R11 Wonder Weapon: Turns zombies into friendly mercenaries, turns mercenaries into friendly zombies.
Classified Schematics are typically obtained by completing contracts within the Elder Dark Aether, although the schematic for the V-R11 Wonder Weapon might be different.
New mid-season Warlord
In the mid-season update, a new Warlord chemical warfare expert, Keres, will appear on the map at her fortress in the Killhouse at Orlov Military Base.
Players will have trouble with visibility due to Keres’ new gas compound and need to bring at least one spare gas mask. Players will also have to contend with “soldiers, snipers, turrets, and traps,” including poison gas grenades.
New MW3 weapons
Four new weapons will be made available in MW3 season two that can be brought into Zombies via the insured slot:
- The BP50 assault rifle
- The RAM-9 SMG
- The SOA Subverter battle rifle
- The Soulrender melee weapon
The BP50 and the RAM-9 will be available via the battle pass, while the SOA Subverter will be available to earn via an in-season weekly challenge. The Soulrender will also be available in-season.
Season One guns, Wonder Weapon buffs
Some balancing changes have occurred in season two, including new weapons from season one in lockers, crates, and the Mystery Box. Additionally, both the Ray Gun and Scorcher Wonder Weapons have been buffed.
