Modern Warfare 3: Zombies - Tips For Completing The Escort Contract

As players fight through the hordes of Urzikstan in Modern Warfare 3: Zombies , they'll need to efficiently work through contracts to earn essence to buy the most valuable upgrades in the game, like Pack-a-Punch level III. Of the eight contracts available in the first ever Call of Duty: Zombies experience to hit a Modern Warfare installment, veterans of the zombies mode may recognize the Escort contract from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Outbreak modes mission of the same n


For players unfamiliar, the Escort contract will require an armored vehicle to be walked through the infected zone to three breaches in reality known as aether voids or aether tears. The ACV (the armored vehicle) is designed to close and dissipate these breaches. Players will simply need to fight off the zombies that spawn in massive numbers to try to destroy the vehicle and keep the aether slowly slipping through the void. One of the few contracts that will spawn in the Tier III Threat Zone, players will want to get familiar with the escort process before attempting the contract in more dangerous areas of the map. Once mastered, players can grind this contract out and earn reward rifts in the Tier III Danger Zone, possibly awarding rare acquisitions or the Ray Gun Wonder Weapon Schema


Weapons with high mobility that can effectively eliminate enemies at short to mid-range will excel when attempting the Escort contract. Weapons to consider include Assault Rifles, Sub Machine Guns, Battle Rifles (modified with mobility and recoil stability attachments), or Shotguns with extended range and magazine capacity . Players should also consider hitting a buy station in Threat Tier II or III and stocking up on tactical Wonder Weapons - useful for getting zombies off of the ACV if the vehicle begins losing too much health, especially if attempting Escort in the higher danger areas. Decoy grenades can also be used to this effect, just less effective due to the significantly shorter duration of the decoy's alarm. The field upgrade Frenzied Guard can also be used to distract the horde and protect the


No guns are more terrifying than LMGs. Proving to be extremely good at their job, the LMGs present players with great damage-dealing power and extended damage range. Here are some of the best LMGs to use in Zomb


Keep in mind that transmissions and loot in the vault are shared across all 24 players, so if another squad has already sent a transmission, players may not be able to find that radio. If you notice another team in the game going after the bosses and sending the transmissions, be sure to head to the vault immediately to be the first to open the doors and access the l


Since Manglers spawn pretty frequently when attempting this contract, Napalm Burst and Shatter Blast are incredibly useful. Fire damage is highly effective on Mangler, and triggering Napalm Burst will cause huge chunks of a Mangler's health bar to disappear . Additionally, players can quickly remove the threat of ranged attacks and create vulnerability by destroying a Mangler's arm cannon and armor when Shatter Blast triggers . Both mods are also equally effective at eliminating grouped-up zombies, giving players a useful defense tool for defending the ACV while closing tears or departing with the collected d


Once the ACV is activated, the horde will begin to spawn and attempt to disable the ACV . Players will also have to deal with special/elite enemies like Manglers and Disciples. Almost always, players will encounter at least one Mangler during an Escort contract. Disciples spawn less frequently than Manglers during this contract, and Mimics spawn even less frequently. While players may encounter any of the special zombies during an Escort contract, they will most often have to deal with Manglers, so watch out for cannon bla


Be ready to disable the truck and eliminate all occupants. Once the truck is disabled, the mercenaries inside will exit and begin firing on you. Be careful not to let the Knight focus on you, as he will quickly break all armor plates and drop players' health with his heavy LMG. Cluster mines or scatter mines can be placed along the path of the truck to instantly disable the truck as it passes. Alternatively, wonder weapons like Kazimir Devices or the Ray Gun will almost instantly destroy the armored vehicle and those ins
