Also, in perks, quick revive is very underrated. It significantly imrpoves the delay of healing/regeneration
Get gold plates and dup them. That perks not worth it unless your rezzing randoms
@@RangerxTurbo u mean dupe them?
The zombies in tier 3 feel like they got turned up a little bit. Sometimes they're easy to kill sometimes they're impossible.
I noticed the other day it seems the zombies have been showing up more in all levels
also they can 2 hit you and take all your plates now... games impossible now
I more hate how fast some of them run
tier 3 isn't too bad solo, its the dark aether thats kicking my ass 💀
im good at the game in general especially with movement, but its hard when I don't have PAP and Aether tools to start off. Without those I will probably lose my large ruck and 3 plate which I have to spend another hour to get.
Dark aether f’s me up 😂
@@Mike.mp4 you haven't done the story missions and farmed contracts for any schems? helps a lot
@@Mike.mp4 you can buy all of it at tier 3 buy station Just ask in chat if someone has cash. Nearly every round someone has a cash tombstone 😂
@@flyingsplice I completely forgot that story missions give schems. Ik what i’ll be doing today. Thanks lol
I would argue Quick Revive is very much needed as it speeds up regen greatly.
Not if u have dogs
@@bradleykrueger8054 Dogs are back up, but Quick Revive reduces the chances you will need to rely on it.
@bradleykrueger8054 Phd protects from dogs fire
Not if you got gold plates than its just an added bonus but not needed at all. Only ones thats the most useful perk is speed cola
@@RangerxTurbo whether solo or in a squad, you definitely need more then just Speed Cola. The utility you get from PHD Flopper alone makes it a perk to always carry. Deadshot Daquri also increases your critical damage so thinking you don't need that is wild misconception. Finally, Quick Revive aside from allowing you Revive people faster, helps regen your health quicker. In moments where you may not have plates or don't have Gold Plates or are get swarmed, that could be the buffer between a down and you staying in the fight.
Really appreciate the vid. Some great tips in there. Ive just become comfortable enough in tier 2 solo to start going into to tier 3 solo regularly to get some more schematics. This video helped alot!
another tip in tier 3 is if you get a turret mod, pop it in and after it's done slaying zombies there will be a lot of meat on the ground. Grab 4 and head to the dog house and you'll get a tier 3 dog easily.
I like to do the ACV contract in T3 until I can get 3-4 pieces of meat and get the dog. I’ll cancel or let the ACV blow up if I get the meat quickly
(psst you only need 3 meat for the t3 dog)
@@georgeburns6748 when your dog bone is on cooldown this is the best way to get the dog
This is the best video on this I've seen. By far. All good advice. No BS. Great stuff 👍
Cancelling Escort to get Cargo has been more reliable lately for me (just like in the video). There does however seem to be some conflict with the spore control. If the cargo contract isn’t popping up, I find picking up and cancelling the spore in front of the gas station (sometimes two of them) will sort the issue. The spore contract doesn’t seem to appear again but ‘cancel escort to get cargo’ works fine. Also throw decoys at the rear of the garage (by the dumpster) clears the front long enough to avoid ruining the vehicle.
I wonder if it's a radius of contracts thing. Very cool to know!
If you happen to know youre going to do an aether nest then load your backpack full of c4 charges, no zombies spawn until you start shooting spores so you can map out where they all are and throw a bunch on the ones deepest in the nest.. and also can loot the place relatively safely before starting, obviously the best is still locked up,, when ready then just go outside and 💥, after the harder ones get boomed shoot whats left from the door and get ready for an insta-hoarde to swarm out cause you probably missed one
I haven’t played a zombies COD for so long I could only tell you that the level i played was a kind of bus station/terminal. Was playing DMZ and MP, when this launched I wanted to try, and damn is it fun! Tier 3 scared the life outta me tho. It wasn’t until about a month ago that i even considered venturing in, as I would get wrecked in T2. But like you said, you grt better over time- which you have a lot of in this mode. So I would tell anyone new to slow down, enjoy the game, tolerate its obvious shortcomings- and ease towards the center of the map. I still had an 😂 time, and reduced my frustration from getting whacked to nil!
love the vids man, its nice to have ppl making videos abt mw3 zombies since all the zombies youtubers (other than milo) kinda just gave up on it
A good tip for buy stations is to go in and buy a kazmir grenade as quick as you can and throw it down, eif you happen to have alot of points you can spam the button a few extra times so they fall around the buy station and a teammate can grab and use them... it only happens if you're inventory is full mind you.
Its similar in all tiers in regards to contracts where theres a max in certain areas and they cycle once completed or canceled. I assume with that tier 3 cargo it was 100% chance to show up pre patch with the limited amount and vicinity of tier 3. Fun fact. Most weapons safe and outlast contracts on the map have at least 1 spot in them where the zombies tunnel to you mainly from one direction.
TY for this video. Well done. Good demos. Im getting started and all these tips are great help. I might just make it in T3...
Love the content doughnuts! Would love for you to make a video showing us the damage that the different wonder weapons give out! Had a tier 2 packed ray gun and and felt like it was dealing less damage than a tier 2 legendary gun
you earned my sub!, another tip, if you want to keep your current gun camo when packa pounching melee the packa punch first and youi'll keep the camo you have set everytime
For the HVT Mega Abomination at 17:56, I found that if you can lure it to where it'll start walking around the wall next to the turret on the right side (if there is one), then the turret can actually target the Mega Abomination. It's a tad finicky, but it can work.
Bro you got better rewards from aether boxes than the contract reward rifts 😂
Literally although I don’t get shit besides perks and ammo mods anyway
It is a lot about confidence in the zone. Your choices were what I'd go with also, however I run with the WSP Swarm Akimbo. That way I can just mow down zombies.
Rambo
I run tier 3 with out a gun most of the time and yes I noticed that the decoys got nerved like an extra second before work by the looks of things
23:55 First time I saw Redeploy drones relocating after the storm touching them got a double take out of me aswell.
Another good weapon is the explosive one since I have found it more effective than most. The explosive weapon mod is pretty good against armored zombies and special zombies( Manglers, Mimics, Disciples and Abominations)
RGL-80 is definitely the play for aether neets/ infested strongholds
bro i appreciate the vid i wouldn't have it in me do tier 3 if it wasn't for these types of videos.
Dude doughtnut i killed a mega from i believe it was the bridge up high with minimal zombies jumping up on top and i used just an aether blade and yeah i had a dog but he got killed by the mega and it was the dog bone dog and i had the golden plates equiped also so im just saying i was watching from up high and no lightning bolts but the mouth with glow on which ever one you need to hit so i hope that that helps! But it avoids alot of the frustrations of the lightning bolts and all the downing and what not but it is time consuming waiting for those blades to get back to your inventory. But it is an awesome way to kill it..
If you just want the cargo contract you can continue to cancel the other contracts and it will spawn the cargo contract
The instakill hvt can even happen on the strom boss, I had a squad of 4 people with me when it spawned and it just went "I am ded" and got a free schematic from it
You can get a vehicle and lure it out of the gas and after a few seconds it will die
Great video, woth some great points. Is it just me or are T3 zombies shredding your armor now. I dont recall replating as much as i have to now.
Also something really funny. try to move in a way that the manglers hit the zombies with their arm blast, because it damages zombies even when not turned.
Also I’m not sure If you mentioned this but you can hold out a mortar lazer to run faster 👍🏻
Gold armor, either blade, and a dog. You will be just fine in tier 3. Oh and Lockwood 680 with slugs
I must have horrible RNG in the tier 3 zone. I have never found a legendary or even epic ether tool, or schematic of any kind or sigil in any of my runs through the zone. It's very frustrating.
Well if you are following this video advice, that is the result you are always going to get. Do bounty contracts and outlat contracts PERIOD. Do not grab the others unless they are the only ones left and then cancel them immediately to get bounty or outlast to spawn. There is no point in doing the deliver contract. If you cant do the bounties solo then join a squad.
You dont even need tier 3 for all that. I grind tier 2 since more missions and specials spawn (zombies don't run like sonic) and have gotten x4 the amount of legendary stuff id ever find in 3. 3 is just to go help others when me and my team do it we just get weaker loot and tons of uncommons
@@ls6097 the entire point of the vid is going solo tho
3:27 I do believe they reverted the numbers. I was getting hundreds of zombies in an outlast I did last night
This game was recorded 18 hours ago as of writing this comment lol.
The shepherd mission was a lil rough solo. Finally got it but the loot is amazing
10:15 Me and my duo had a mega abbom just randomly die one match. We were pretty stoked for an easy 5k
I have had an exfil "button" fail to work once before. I drove, redeployed, and ran to get all the way across the map to the final exfil. I was all alone and it sucked, but I survived. It's now one of my favorite moments, but that shouldn't happen.
Had this happen to me twice. The exfil disappeared right when I got to it. Had to sprint across the side of the map both times with the storm chasing me by just one or two steps. One of those times, I missed the final exfil literally by half a second. I could have taken a step into the chopper but it flew off the second I touched it. My hands were sweating from nervousness and it was really fun to try beating the storm by just a hair but definitely wouldn’t make it a habit lol.
I honestly believe that the one thing you need in the red zone is a aether blade its the only thing that one hits the zombies having legendary rarity helps immensely and a ammo mod i have run tier 3 with lockwood 680 shotgun only like he said its about how comfortable you are
I just want more variety with teir 2 and 3 hvt's like imagine a a boss hell hound with a zombie riding on his back. Zombie is more for looks/intimidation but still
I saw you missed it at the start of the video but i would highly recommend you run with a kill streak if you can (juggernaut suit, air strike, Motor strike) as it will let you run faster than with your weapons or even fists out
In tier 3 one bad judgement call can get you down instantly...all it takes is you decide to climb a ladder when zombies are able to get a few free hits and then a random mimic suddenly appears, grabs you off the ladder and then one or 2 more hits and you go down. Kinda sad, most casuals will just not want to have to play like a mad junkie just to survive the red zone and even then sometimes randomly die.
Great video It helped A lot
I always go solo into Tier 3 with an RGL, pack-a-punch Tier 1, PHD, Tombstone, Shatter Blast, and one or more self-revives. The chances of dying are very low and the weapon is good for crowd control. Added benefits- Loots from contracts, players, and cratees help you to gain more.
That’s the grenade launcher right? lol Man that thing is awesome until the zombies get too close. It doesn’t seem to explode or maybe they don’t explode when you shoot directly at a zombie?
@@shaun5047 I just Target the ground and armour up at the same rime, works well if you are accustomed to the weapon especially after new patch, i can just go in with blue rarity, pack a punch tier 1 into red zone and survive from beginning till end of the match
@@HyperXgamingadda are you duplicating items? Im still kinda new to the game so I was trying to duplicate my items last night, not sure what I did wrong. Anyways It sucks going into a game with a gray weapon because I’m still waiting for a rarity tool to cool down. lol I’ll take any tips if you have it.
@@HyperXgamingaddagonna try that
@@shaun5047patience bro, had one game where I ended up getting 4 epic aether tools in 3 contracts out of the red zone
Thank you for the help
The zombies should not have a tactical sprint.
Yeah I agree or they need to boost player tacsprint refresh speed by a lot
Its how game developers decide to make it harder to get crappy rewards in T 3😂 “lets add the flashe’s zombie in full gear to chase players to make them forget the nerfs!”
That mimic “Oh no, I have a sharp pain in my chest, “dies”
Nice content man!
Please do an aether tutorial, I really need it and you and rofflewaffles are the only cod youtubers I watch
22:37 if you stack up a few durable gas masks then it gives you some more time in T3 to finish contracts you started
Or just use the ammo crate no need to buy more than one mask it refills
For the outlast contracts, just train the zombies. You just have to be in the area that’s it
PhD is a must because it negates the fire damage that the hellhounds leave on ground after being killed. Trust me it will save you from taking unnecessary damage and will let you run through fire on the ground and not limit you to where you can run from zombies in general.
Also u cannot drown in water...so u cam take a batnroom break or smoke break underwater and not get touched
The Tier 3 loot has been terrible for me. I still need all the schematics from Tier 3! It seems to always be Escort and spore control missions for me and they are rough solo. Great tips in the video for noobs like me 😎
Me too. I have PhD flopper that's it. I try to join a squad.
The only game I was geared up at the start and did a lot of contracts in tier 3, I finally got the ray gun schematics, then apparently before I could exfil the game got a lot more difficult and I ended up dying, then the next game I found out my tombstone didn't work. Funny how that works, right?
I feel like a god in tier 3. Once you get schematics it's a joke😂 just a grind to get the schematics lol
MASSIVE grind 😫
Dude beem grinding for schematics and getting nada
@@Buglife.352 ahh man such a ballache. I need speed cola and phd in ma life, and thats before gettin to the legendary ones 😫
@@Buglife.352you get a ton from the missions and act exfil missions. Just grind out tier 2 easier to do and youll almost always get better loot.
@@Buglife.352hit the dark aether, first time I went in with a group I met in the red zone. Ended up getting golden plate , dog bone and aether blade schematics in one game
Actually if you go to the bad signal mission and enter it and when the screen turns black, close the game and you keep all your stuff, even aether blades
Question. When leveling up guns in MW3 does a higher tier produce a higher XP output for that sort of thing? Still a bit new to the ins and outs of COD zombies in particular.
Hi doughnuts i think when you cancel the escort contract it takes a few minutes to spawn the cargo one
People say Get a juggernaut for a easy bounty but it gets destroyed by small zombies one good thing is if u have a bounty let it follow u to another squad in red bc chances are they're pros n grinding and they sometimes drop schematics I got a raygun gun schematics
in tier 3 if u wanna run even faster, hold out ur killstreaks like mortar or juggernaut
Lowkey just get you an aether blade with decoys, a decent shield with stamina up, quick revive and speed. You're golden
Only thing id change with that is forget quick and get gold armor plates than you never have to worry about health
I normaly leave the cargo mission for the less experienced players in the start i would love that just so the you maybe put it in a video for the experienced player so we can get the best Zombies community and use his discord! Much love ❤ i can carry people around in zone 3 and dark aether and i have alot of sigal's normal and elder sigal ❤
Once i was not able to press reload or exfil so had to run around til final exfil hahah
Pap 3 Wunderwaffe is op against specials when you go for headshots
Definitely missed that in game. Noticed it while watching the footage lol
Arguably the best wonder weapon gun in game
It would nice if suppressors kept zombies from hearing you
I've heard that it helps but idk if that's true
When hskng Wunderwaffe, hold trigger down to build up a charge till it fires itself
Great content
How do you turn your weapon to the side like that when ur ADS?
the gunsafe contract doesn‘t work if u stand on the opposite side of the safe. Nice video
I have a tip that may be a little too hard for most people, but I don't know if you people know it at all, but mega abominations can die in 3 "shots" by throwing a thermite to their heads while they laser you. I honestly have not been afraid to do any t3 bounties, it does take a bit to kill them with thermites, but it does the job if you're solo, just got to find the pattern in which makes the mega abominations use laser more constantly
Just get a pap melee and its easy work or jug (if your in tier 3 you can buy those from the shops)
@@RangerxTurbo you’re right, but this is situational, and from my experience, doing meele isn’t much more efficient since you are more prone to go down since the horde will be helping the mega abomination, and since thermites are inexpensive and just need 3, the cost is hugely reduced, ofc this only works for mega abominations
@@cesarsuarez7233 understandable i just like the challenge of the hord and just kill them off first with aether and decoy nades
Not hating on doughnuts, I know he is really good. Its just when watching youtubers in T3 ive noticed it seems to be sorta empty whereas when I go into T3 it seems like there are 100s of zombies everywhere. Even unarmed I just run from one horde right into the next horde. Also when he does start to seem in trouble he jump cuts to being ok, and thats what I wanna see the most.
Bro honestly if you playing zombies I suggest please get the tombstone glitch goin! I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t have one!
Cause it decreases grind. I glitched and I'm kind of bored. But I also had schematics handed to me 🤷🏾♂️ if you just glitch for consumables I guess its different. But I do still love having the money to complete missions and help people
I just started playing zombies and on my second game some cool people dropped me 3 schematics those gold looking ones we exfiled but I didn't see anything unlocked or different idk what I did wrong or was it something else I needed to do ?
You sure it wasnt cases?
@@RangerxTurbo yeah I'm sure they told me they was schematics
When you do the outlast contract, use the turret
I had the hvt die bug with the red worm we were all geared up for it and it died instantly.
Lol I was fighting contract mega abomination and another abomination showed up flying in the air above him 😂
I’m not positive but I feel like they may have nerfed the rewards for the tier 3 cargo contract. I did a good 20-30 runs of it over the last week and the best loot I got was blue aether tools and self revives. Then I started doing assassinations and spores in tier 3 and got three of four schematics I needed in one round. Maybe they didn’t nerf it but that was my experience
Think it’s really hit or miss with cargo, there’s been games I didn’t get crap. Then the next game epic aether tool ever time I did it, and the dark aether sigil
What happened to the last item that was promised that we were supposed to get if we did the first monster thing? Figured it was some bs…
Golden plates and an aether blade make T3 a breeze!
Love you Lego
Quick revive is a need for tier 3 I mean not a need but nice health regen faster
i respawn the cargo contract every day by cancelling the escort lol thats an actual thing
This game mode is actually great I always play it solo and yet have completed all tiers and bosses, the community is great and if you message in the social tab a lot of people will help you out
Some lobbies be crazy though 😂 have been getting amazing lobbies these past days. But man everyone that asks for money within the first second of getting in i ignore and dont even help when they ask for rez (if you die in zone 1 imma just laugh at you and not rez (i'm talking getting down withing 5 mins of the game starting lol))
Should of used the killstreak instead of dropping it lol
I thought the same haha
staminup is a necessity. the zombies run faster than you without it
Try going left instead of right with the cargo contract
You should have used the mortars on the megabomination.
Just did my first elder sigil solo and it wasn't that bad , you just have to do a tombstone game then go in with a ton of kasmirs . I took 6 self revives and didn't even need one. Only attempted the 2 contracts tho
If you get in elder do you need to do all 3 contracts or can you do 1 then exfil with reward?
@@jonw9791 you can do 1 and exfil . I did 2. I'm not sure if you can go back and get missing schematics off redoing or if you have to do the escort for the blade but I got plates and dog bone then bounced with 7 mins left
Damn great Job @@Nicklafuego
I still haven’t gotten the epic aether tool plans since the game came out. I think they need to buff the plans for the tier 3 zone
I think you might have to complete the act missions to get it
@@MetalHead4lifeGamer I’m done with everything but my brother hasn’t finished all of the acts and he got it twice.
What are the best wepons for Teir 3
that exfil failed me too!
Is this the stash glitch season?
u can run faster when u r holding a killstreak like Mortar Strike
Can I enter the dark aether with a sigil if I haven’t done the quest leading up to it?
I tried but the triangle portal didnt spawn like it would when you do the pedestals, it just stayed as the tornado storm. So I had nowhere to put it.
No, you can’t. You need to open the portal to be able to use the sigil. It’s honestly not hard tho. Two games I was able to open it up
WRONG! TONFA (pap3 + leg rarity) + PAPED SCORCHER (for better mobility) = Insta killing megaabormibation
Dog literally said I believe I can fly
I’m missing something the rate and speed of my tier 3 zombies seems way crazier… maybe I’m bad
Purple or gold tool, pack 3 gun, and aether knife, and khazimirs..... Ya know, the obvious stuff..... There ya go, saved you some time 😂
What is your gun loadout, @Doughnuts?
It's in the video kzhead.info/sun/YJ2iZ5SFkYmig30/bejne.htmlsi=TL42bjlCml-Ps61B&t=275
Ive done T3 this week solo and with random people i meet and never gotten sigil, do i need to complete the missions to get the drop?
You need to complete act 4 and then do the Easter egg with the 4 pillars
Ill drop you a sigil. Kinghades 1226 ill be on tomorrow night at 6
You dont need any missions do get em. I got one my second game in without finishing act one. Just got my second one yesterday. Its easier to get from tier 4 but you can just get it in lobby just rare like the vr 11. I still have them and an elder sigil
Why dont u take quick revive when it was in rewards? It regens ur health quicker
I go in with gold plates / PAP 3 / Dog bone and all perks 🤣
I lost a tier 2 pack a punch crystal schematic for the 3rd time and I’ve ground at least 40hrs trying to get it. I get stuck under the map, I got beamed out of the sky by a floating grunt, and I exfilled with it just for it disappear out of my inventory🙄. I killed the red worm for the scorcher/ gold tool and got the dog bone, plates, knife from the aether I just keep losing the tier 2 pack to damn bugs over and over
What tier where u in to get pap 2 schematic
I lost two of those as well.... after the second I started to ts glitch. If Activision doesn't recognize my honest efforts I will take advantage of the ts glitch. I now have all schematics.
@@Buglife.352 it’s a tier 3 contract reward it’s so damn rare. Tier 3 schematics in general the drop rate is very very bad for schematics
I didn't know that you could teleport 😮
Quick revive is a must. You regenerate health faster. It's not just to revive downed teammates. Many people don't know this
Its only good if you are rezzing people otherwise useless cause gold plates are it.
@RangerxTurbo Did you not read what I said? Quick revive heals you quicker... meaning instead of taking like 6-10 seconds (or whatever it is) to start your health meter going back up. It only takes like 2-3 seconds so yes it absolutely is necessary
@@RangerxTurbo and you can't have gold plates every game. But you can have quick revive every game
@@DirtyD218 you can have gold plates every game 😂 say your bad it's okay
@@DirtyD218 that just proves your bad at the game if you think it's so important. Get better than go to tier 3 🤷♂️ i solo everyday with no perks but speed cola.
