Here’s a list of over 50 tips you can use to never die again in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies to get all the schematics and to do everything else in the game.
1) Man’s Best Friend
There’s a trick in the game to spawn a man’s best friend. To do this, you just need to grab chunks of Flesh, which you can get from one hit killing zombies with things like sniper rifles or from the ACV escort when it runs over zombies.
This is a perfect way to get the drops for this, too. Then, you need to bring the chunks of Flesh to a dog Canal.
There are canals all over Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, and depending on your tier, you need to bring a corresponding number of chunks of Flesh. So, in Tier 3, to get a Tier 3 Dog, you need three chunks.
So pop the chunks of Flesh inside and out, and it will pop your friendly hellhound. This thing will revive you. If you go down, it will attack zombies for you and distract them. It’s crazy helpful in distracting more powerful enemies as well.
2) Level Up Faster
Next is a tip for leveling up faster so everyone is on the camo grind. Everyone wants to get those levels maxed out so that we can just get started on the camo, etc., but there’s a way to do this faster that doesn’t require any change to your play style, really.
It requires some planning when you’re in the game’s menus. When you select which gun you’ll spawn in within your insured slot or just from your Contraband, select a fire icon called an XP recommended weapon. This weapon grants you more XP if you use it.
The fire icon will rotate across different weapons on different days, so be sure to make the most of whatever weapon you’re working on being XP-recommended when it comes up in rotation.
Also, you can check out this guide to Level up weapon faster in MW3.
3) Fix your Car tire
A super quick tip that you can implement in your matches is when you’re driving around, and your car starts spinning out. It’s really awkward, but that might be because your tire is broken.
You don’t have to live with that. You can actually hop out of the car, go to the tire that has popped, and hold square on the tire to repair it, and your vehicle will be ready to drive again.
4) Use death perception
I know some of you have definitely been finding it tricky. It is clear those infected strongholds, especially in tier 2 and tier three, because a lot of the time, it feels like there’s just one Spore in there somewhere that you can’t find. Use this tip to make your life infinitely more accessible and to get those strongholds cleared pretty much straight away.
It’s a really simple one. It’s just using death perception. Death perception highlights every single Spore inside the stronghold, so you can zip around, use them all, and zip out, and it’ll be easy peasy.
5) Wunderwaffe Weapon
Next up is the Wunderwaffe, that wonder weapon we all know is crazy strong; it’s lightning that chains between zombies.
But what some people don’t know, or they’ve just forgotten because it’s like old-school zombie law, is that you don’t actually have to hit the zombies with the Wunderwaffe in order for it to chain lightning between them. You can hit it on the ground, and it will keep on hitting zombies with the lightning.
6) Use Blood Burner
Next up is the blood burner, which can be found all over the map. Actually, it has a whole bunch of different spawn points. When you see the bike, you’ll discover that it can drive on water, which is insane. It self-heals, so it’s not going to get destroyed super fast like the other vehicles, and if you run over zombies with it, it charges the bike up. After about 15 kills, you’ll get access to a pulse blast, which will kill anything in your immediate area, so this thing is crazy powerful.
7) Get Loads of Money
The next one is a trick that you can use to get loads of money insanely quickly. When you’re running around the map, you can find little jump pads. They’re really useful for getting back around and redeploying all that sort of stuff, which is definitely a big benefit of using them.
When you’re skydiving down from one of those redeployments, you’ll want to look around for an Essence canister that’s floating in the sky.
Float over to it, grab it, and then look around for the next one that will be somewhere in your vicinity just below you. And you can chain these together and get thousands of points from doing it super duper fast, and there are a bunch of these areas around the map that you can find as you roam. It doesn’t hurt to jump up there real quick and get all those points pretty much instantly.
8) Find & Use Humble Hatchback
There are many vehicles on the map, and I’m sure you’ve used all of them already, trying to get from point A to point B a bit faster, but one that gets often overlooked is the humble hatchback.
This car is pretty special because it’s so normal. What do normal cars have they have car alarms and so if you find a hatchback out in the wild you can set its car alarm off and it will act as a monkey bomb with an extended timer causing all zombies in the area to path to it and completely leaving you alone
9) Use Kazimir
Next is a tip that OG zombies fans should know but newer fans might not be familiar with, so there’s lots of different special equipment in the mode there are monkey bombs you’ve got your decoy grenades, stun grenades all sorts of stuff but one of the rarest special equipment is this little spherical ball of suck called the Kazimir.
And when you throw it, the Kazimir creates a sort of mini local black hole that sucks zombies in, and it looks super cool, and it’s really powerful.
If you run over to the black hole itself and jump, you can actually teleport to a random location nearby.
10) Always carry one weapon
Many of you might not consider this as a tip but this is actually a secret to run faster! It is proven and tested. If you carry a single weapon in loadout, you will always out speed the zombies and your movement speed will be increased because of the less load of weapons on your body.
11) Use Pack a Punch Machine
Next, this is a returning trick from Cold War. If you’re really attached to your weapon blueprint, you really like how your gun looks, or you honestly just don’t like the Pack-A-Punch camos in the game and wish you could avoid them, this trick is for you.
You can actually avoid them by doing this trick. Simply melee the Pack-a-Punch machine before you use it, and it will not apply its special Pack-a-Punch camos to your gun once it comes out of the pap.
12) Find Grave for a Fallen Dog
If you go into tier three, you can find a little grave for a fallen dog. It seems that a dog has passed away, and a little Shrine has been set up for it.
But if you sacrifice your weapon to the Grave, it will spit a couple of rewards back at you, and it will give you your gun back without any Pack-a-Punch or weapon Rarity left on it. This means that you can recycle tier three Pack-a-Punch and stuff like that at the end of your game and get some crystals from it to use in your next match, so it is definitely worth doing if you’re about to exit tier 3 to xfill
13) Swap operators
Next up, this is a recommendation to make sure that you’re making use of this feature; you get more than one character that you can swap between in the game’s menus. So if you have a perfect run and you’ve got tier three armor and a self-revive and all that good stuff, and in the next game, you’re just going to go in and farm camos or something.
I would swap to a different operator there just so that you can start getting progress on that character as well, such as getting them a tier 2 or a tier three armor plate, and then in the matches where you’re trying to do more complex activities, if you die on one of them you still have a different operator to switch to who has some good stuff in their backpack already ready to go for that next run next.
14) Pet the Dog
You can actually pet that dog if you go over to it and assume there are no other zombies around as well. Otherwise, it’ll path to them. You can also give him a little scratchy scratch on his forehead.
15) Buy Items
For the next tip, this is to make you guys aware that the Tier 3 buy station has different stuff in it than Tier 2. Tier 2 has other stuff than Tier 3, but specifically, in Tier 3, you can actually buy monkey bombs and Kazimir.
16) Use Water as your Advantage
Zombies can not come in water so water is your friend! Find a vehicle or a way to stay in water and shoot up the zombies for a distance so that you they can not damage you.
17) Watch out for other players
While killing zombies you have to make sure that no other players are taking your loot. Try to kill the other players who are coming in your way to steal the loot that you did from killing zombies.
18) Play with your Friends
If you plan to move to the next act by killing zombies in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, it would be best if you take a friend with you in this mode. Playing alone can be a bit difficult but if you have a friend around you, you both can easily do a lot of damage to the zombies.
19) Repair your Gas Mask
This trick actually works! You don’t have to buy a new gas mask from the station or look all over the map. You can repair it by finding the nearest ammo refill and use ammo cash to repair your gas mask.
20) Use Perk Machine
Next, the tip is straightforward: if you run over to a perk machine and lie down in front of it, you can pick up some spare change and get some free points. However, this will only work once, so you need to be the first person to do it.
21) Buy Sentry Guns
Next, a lot of people have been trying to find easy ways to take down Abominations because they’re so tanky. You can buy a sentry gun from stations, so they’re just the killstreak guns. You can place them wherever you want, and they chew through Abomination’s health.
22) Use the chopper
Many of the players say that jumping in the middle of the helicopter will make you stay there, but you die because of the wings. Instead, if you just jump on the helicopter’s windscreen, you can stay there and kill zombies easily. It’s a bit slippery, but it works like a charm.
23) You can see the map before infill
We’ve all started matches right and sat there while the time was counting down. I’ve just been like, I’m wasting time here. I want to look at my map. I want to figure out what I’m going to do. I want to look for where the nearest vehicle is, find a contract, and find Pack-a-Punch and all that stuff right, and now you can.
You need to press the start button at the exact moment that the loading screen starts to fade to black. It’s a short window where this is possible, but if you press start in that window, you’ll be able to have the map open for the entirety of that kind of Drone footage that it always plays, and so from there, you can start planning your routine game
24) Gas Mask in chopper
If you call in Exfill Chopper if the gas is expanding towards the end of the game, that will have a bunch of gas masks in it that you can grab. You don’t have to call if you just want to run on, grab the gas masks, and then run off again like maybe you’ve got other plans for your game, maybe you’re going to Tombstone, whatever you can just use the chopper as a bit, of gas mask Supply.
25) You can cancel the contract
I’m just going to give you a guide: you pull up your tac map with whatever key that is on your console or platform of choice, and then when you’re on there in the top right-hand corner, it should have a prompt for you to cancel a contract. If you have one active on Xbox, the button is going to be holding down y, whereas on PS5, it’s going to be a triangle. It’s important to note that it works slightly differently if you’re in a team, so if you’re in a team and there are three of you and you try to cancel the contract, your other team members will have to vote on whether or not they want to cancel it.
It just needs two out of three votes in order for a successful cancellation to go through, so once you hold y to cancel the contract, one other person on your team will need to also go to their map and hold y to cancel it. Then it will cancel, and you’ll be all set. There’s no penalty for this as well, for the record, so feel free to do this if you change your mind and you don’t want to make the contract anymore.
26) Get armor plates
There’s a little hut on the waterside that’s kind of isolated from everything else. If you go into that hut, you’ll find three crates that are always guaranteed to have four armor plates in each one
27) Highly paid contracts
I’m about to share a method that’s going to get you 10,000 points for one contract completion. This is essential because if you’re trying to farm rare schematics if you’re trying to farm Wonder Weapons, those sorts of things, and especially if you’re trying to do this as a solo player, you need to spend as little time as possible in your game on that setup and money earning process so that you can spend the bulk of your match just working away at those schematics farms in order to get those done.
28) Take a break from zombies
You want to take a break from the tier 3 contracts and just chill out in the game for a bit without zombies attacking. You might think that you could swim in the water or something or hide on a roof, but zombies will throw meat at you and prevent you from getting the rest that you so desperately crave.
However, there is actually a way you can avoid all the zombies in the match, and that’s to climb to one of the tops of the yellow cranes. There are a few different types of these around the map, but if you find one, the zombies will never attack you up there, and you’ll be absolutely safe for as long as you need to be safe.
30) Kitting Zombies
Don’t panic. It might seem scary, but look ahead and make sure you have an opening wherever you are running. It becomes much more dangerous if you’re inside of a building, but time yourself and find an open. You can get hit a couple of times as long as you’re sure to double-check that you have plates on.
Note that you’re only going to Auto pick up six plates at a time, but you can still pick up more, so fill up those bags, and if you do go up against Merks, the AIs that have guns, you can’t really kite those because obviously they can shoot you they are much stronger than they were back in DMZ especially if you go up against the shielder do not underestimate them.
31) Use Melee weapons
Let’s do a melee tip. When you’re running around with guns in the mode, you can drop them to teammates, and it’s no big deal. That’s totally fine, but sometimes you’re spinning the box, and you get a weapon that would be perfect for a teammate to grab.
It just feels like it would be easier if you could have them take it out of the box. It turns out you can actually do that, too. You just have to spin the box to get a weapon inside it, and then while that weapon is descending back into the box, melee it, and it will become available for other players in the map to grab.
32) Get More chunks of Flesh
As I have mentioned the tip earlier, you have to find the flesh, but now I will share the easiest method. Zombies can drop the flesh right in front of you. All you have to do is to make sure you are doing headshots. Aim for the head and do a single-shot kill.
Doing this will drop chunks of flesh and you can get the dog by your team to do more damage!
33) Disciples Healings
Disciples will heal themselves if you allow them to maintain line of sight with you. I recommend fighting them when there’s some kind of object between you and them that you can kind of dip in and dip out of to break the line of sight and prevent them from doing their healing suck beam.
And the second half of the tip is that they are actually significantly weaker if you blow up their mask you can knock their mask fully off their heads and you’ll hear a little sound cue when that happens and that will make them infinitely more susceptible to damage and you’ll be able to take them down super easily from there.
34) Freeze the zombies
Next up, have you ever wanted to just freeze zombies right in front of you? You just want the zombie to stagger and stop moving and look super confused. I don’t know; maybe your dream in life is just to bamboozle every zombie in the server, and if that is what you aspire to.
I’ve got you covered! These are called humble crash barriers. So there are some metal barriers called crash barriers, and if you mantle over these crash barriers while zombies are nearby, zombies have no clue how to path around the crash barriers so some of them just stop in their tracks and very slowly turn around, others start running the polar opposite direction.
35) Cargo Missions
This one is a very simple yet smart trick. As you all know that you have to head over and open the garage to start the cargo mission and there are zombies inside that you have to kill and you might take damage from them too.
Instead, you can simple aim the garage and start killing the zombies outside the garage. No need to enter in and you will not take any damage at all.
36) Gas Station tip
To refill your vehicle, you have to head up to gas station where you have to stay in the car to refill. Not anymore! This trick is tested and proven. You do not have to stay in the vehicle and wait for it to repair of fuel up. Instead, you can leave the vehicle and roam around nearby to kill some zombies and by the time you are back, your vehicle will have full health and fuel.
37) Bonus tip
Now for a bonus tip. There’s actually visual confirmation when a vehicle is done repairing at a gas station. So when you drive up to the gas station, and the vehicle’s taken some damage, you’ll hop off, and you’ll notice that it’s smoking from the front.
The front grill will be kind of bashed up stuff like that, but as the vehicle repairs, this smoke will go through stages of being dark smoke and then light smoke, and then no smoke at all, and once the smoke is gone, that’s your sign the vehicle’s at 100%
38) Exfil Chopper
If you are about to die near exfil chopper, nothing to worry about anymore. Because if you get knocked out inside the chopper, it will take you up in the sky and you will get a complete xp for your exfill and your mission will be passed as well.
39) Get free stuff
Next tip is also kind of about getting stuff for free it turns out that if you start doing an easter nest and you like shoot one or two spores. Then you decide that you just don’t want to finish the whole thing you can actually just leave go do something else. If another team comes along and clears the nest, it will still pop up saying that you’ve cleared the nest like you’ll still get credit for having done that.
40) Mount Sentry gun
While working on the contracts where you have to drive the vehicle. There is a simple trick that always work out to give you some of the free xp. All you have to do is to mount the sentry gun on the top of the vehicle. By doing so, you will have a lot of free line of sight for the mount and it will keep on killing the zombies.
