Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) Zombies Mode offers an exciting experience with its diverse weapon system. Upgrading weapon rarity is crucial for survival and success in the game. The process involves using Aetherium Tools, which replace the Work Bench from earlier titles. These tools can be obtained by completing contracts across the map or shooting down purple orbs.
Weapon Rarity Levels
MW3 Zombies contains six different levels of weapon rarity, each with its own damage bonuses. The levels are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Ultra. The Common level is the basic level without damage bonuses, while Ultra includes unique Wonder Weapons like Wunderwaffle DG-2, Scorcher, and Ray Gun, offering distinctive capabilities without specific damage bonuses.
Upgrading Weapon Rarity
To upgrade a weapon’s rarity, players must use Aetherium Tools. These tools come in different rarity levels and can only upgrade weapons to their corresponding tier or below. Players can also find schematics to craft a Legendary Aether Tool, enabling instant weapon upgrades to purple rarity at the match’s start.
Field Upgrades in MW3 Zombies
In addition to weapon rarity upgrades, MW3 Zombies introduces Field Upgrades, enhancing gameplay. Players start with one Field Upgrade and unlock more as they progress through Player Ranks. The best way to unlock new upgrades is simply by playing the game. The available Field Upgrades are:
- Energy Mine: Deals massive damage to enemies.
- Frenzied Guard: Repairs armor fully and forces enemies to target the player.
- Healing Aura: Heals all players immediately.
- Frost Blast: Damages and slows enemies.
- Aether Shroud: Renders the player invisible to zombies.
- Tesla Storm: Connects lightning to players, stunning and damaging enemies.
Players can choose the Field Upgrade that best suits their playstyle and situation. Understanding and utilizing Field Upgrades is essential for survival in MW3 Zombies.
