EASY LOOT FARMING GUIDE: Crystals, Schematics, Perks & More! (MW3 Zombies)

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Guys, I’m sad to say that this has been nerfed, making the second half of this video outdated. Luckily the casual strat works just fine and still yields great loot and fast, but our rooftop sanctuary and the spawn rates and positions for the tier 3 hardcore method has all been changed. However, if you do see a cargo mission in tier 3, feel free to run in and take it as the route you can easily drive through is still viable. Big F for rooftop sanctuary

I don’t care what anybody says, I like this mode, I get a sense of accomplishment from it. Just wish the rounds were longer.

[@suhdude5080]

My feelings exactly !!

[@DuskYokai]

No fr. 1hr is like way to short its like starting on a character with nothing and not bringing stuff in 30 minutes is just farming through tier 1-2 to get upgraded and perks and all that, 20 minutes is actually in tier 3 then its avoiding the storm to go exfil the rest of the match. Especially since the loot pools in tier 3 is wack. I did 17 tier 3 contracts last night best thing i got was 1 singular purple aether tool. No schematics, no tier 2 pack crystals, no legendary tools, no valuable items. Pretty much only got perk cans i already had and blue aether tools which i couldn't even store cause the storage only gives 10 slots

[@coreysteiner1033]

The 1 step up sweat method is rarity matters more than pack a punch so do 2 contracts in tier 1, drop into tier 3 and get a legendary wall buy (pref lmg or ar), then go do contracts in tier 2. I was skeptical when i 1st heard this but it is absolute game changer

[@borgesssssssssssss]

rly

[@coreysteiner1033]

@viniciusborges1832 don't just rush in, plan your route and escape (have vehicle pref and drive by and find right one then jump out and grab them leave). Decoys or monkeys are nice. I use eather shroud but whatever strategy you use to escape but have it charged. You can kill the lvl 3 zombies and hell hounds once you have that gun but won't be optimal till pack a punch. I solo this strategy btw so if you got teammates it COULD help but if you get it down you don't need teammates

[@coreysteiner1033]

I honestly saw this and thought it was a lie and did this whole thing to prove it wrong (I was already lvl 45 from zombies) and it worked amazing and done it ever since. I show people when I can cause it's a game changer and a lot of people don't know

[@Eyasluna-]

Make sure you know which guns suck at the very least though, cause sometimes that shit will get your ass killed too lol.

[@darthmaul2210]

Theres two ammo caches in the red zone always one by the side of the map by the river and the other one is by the big ol castle nearby where you drop off the cargo

[@Gingersnappin1992]

This is the video I've been searching for!!! Thank you sir.

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Your welcome!

[@HeyNiceBox]

This worked out so well, thanks! Noticed other people in my lobby trying to do the same thing haha

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Glad to hear! If you notice people are trying to do it too, it’s a good idea to invite them to a squad so that you can do it together, so that you both get rewards and can have each other’s backs

[@jonnyboi-v1s]

If you have a mortar strike or jug airdrop if you just hold those you are gonna be faster then just holding fists hope this helps

[@chix7332]

after dying a few times getting the movement down I got the ray gun schematic and a cola one first successful contract. Thanks

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Happy for you mate! It takes a few runs to learn but once you get it locked down the loot starts rolling in

[@firstlast-ex1bz]

Well I got the raygun schematic on my 8. cargo mission, totally worth it

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Nice one! I bet you got loads of other good loot too

[@bloawblahnloaoktfinblah4381]

I’ve done like 40 of those

[@_Clayton.Bigsby_]

I've done a bunch of those and killed more than 10 mega abominations, still no wonder weapon schematics. Funny enough I got a raygun case one time from a contract in tier 1.

[@harutoisekai5373]

[@SHADOWv3Sv]

The first contract in the red zone that I went for was the bounty, killed it with a juggernaut suit, and got the raygun schematic lol

[@Terrible_Chad]

I literally go zone 3 without packing every game. Just stamina up is all you need to get a few easy deliver cargo contracts and canceling the escorts that pop up to farm more cargos. Zone 3 is easy af honestly

[@camoz]

agreed. That’s the strat. I’ve figured out. Sometimes the escort spawns but when you cancel, the Delivery cargo sometimes doesn’t spawn. If you wait around abit; maybe 3 mins, it will spawn. I allways just wait on top of the building that the contract spawns on cause zombies can’t touch you there.

[@talltommy]

How do you cancel a contract?

[@Atiqi.]

@@talltommyyou open the map and top right should say a hold (button) to cancel the contract

[@samhanmma]

But i did more that 6 contract and still didn't get any schematics

[@riley9577]

Doesn't that mean there's gonna be loads of teams in zone 3 all racing for the cargos?

[@PittPens6866]

Took me about a dozen cargo completions then i got the ray gun plans 🤘 i was doing this here and there, a cargo run in region three, but never thought to grab then cancel the escort mission in order for another cargo to show up. Hopefully i get another ray gun plan (if that's still a possibility now that i already have it) then go find another team and give out an early Christmas present to someone I found brain rot ammo mod to be good, turn a hell hound friendly, and maybe going to a buy station to purchase one or multiple sentry turrets then plop it down in the street facing the garage door where you get you cargo vehicle from

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

You're becoming MWZ santa this year! Nice find

[@uptownbaby613]

Thank you bro

[@2OfficialTre5]

Very nice strategy 💯

[@Harley-mg2fg]

If you do enough in tier 1 to pack a punch twice much sure tp have enough to git the mystery box as well to see if you get a better weapon

[@natewentafk]

I ended up getting a Flawless aetherium crystal(pack a punch 3)

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

That's a lucky drop! Big W for you

[@chaposoto3870]

I did as well (tier 2 nest ) and used it instantly cuz I was dying and game was pretty much over

@@coreysteiner1033 I don’t waste my time with any of that. By now everyone should have everything they need for red zone. I live in there. Soon as I load in I’m going straight to bounties in the orange. Super fast if u pack to level 2 right at the beginning.

[@drabsavage8571]

I finished act 3 yesterday I feel like at one and three where the easiest ones in act two was the hardest

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Congrats! What challenge did you find the most difficult?

[@29jemo]

Right now the mercenaries are glitch. Every mission with them I’ve done so far has at least a couple of them shooting from below the map. I was getting shot from nowhere and thought they were somewhere I wasn’t seeing until i saw their helmets moving around in the floor.

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Holy shit that sounds deadly. Hope it gets fixed soon because if not then they’re essentially diglets with guns

[@jaymoe8247]

It still works for me . All I wait for the cargo contract is at most 2mins , sometimes even quicker .

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Bash out the hardcore strat I mention in the video, it will get you crystals fast, and I even got a refined aetherium crystal schematic and obviously actual crystals and aether tools. Rinse and repeat the strat until you have what you need, and when you're running low you'll be able to do it again

[@jetblade89]

Outlast and cargo are good too

[@billright3422]

It took me 37 tries to get the raygun schematic.

I believe they nerf the cargo Mission on the red zone. Only do it once and that’s it, is first come first serve

I've done it 4 times in the same game after starting and cancelling other contracts until it reappeared in the last few days so nope it's still good.

Decent strats but there’s more ideal ways to farm in t3. Especially since almost everyone is going for the deliver cargo contract

[@TheExceptionalGamer]

Thanks, what strats do you know?

[@ArtofKaioken105]

@@TheExceptionalGamer I do a 2 player squad at minimum. Pap gun to lvl 1 at least but 2 is preferable if u got a spare crystal. You’ll get a load of money later to pap with this strat anyways. After getting to 10k points, start driving to the t3 while passenger marks the shop, ammo cache and bounties on the map. Pap too if needed. Get to the shop and buy a jugg suit while the other person gets the bounty. Throw decoys when doing both of these risks. Oh and btw u run even faster if ur holding a jugg can or air strike laser in ur hand. Avoid killing zombies, only kill the dogs that manage to catch up to u. Brain rot and cyro freeze are great for this. Throw the jugg can near the bounty and have ur support friend throw decoys away from the jugg pick up site to give the jugg time to kill the bounty without interruption. Once the bounty is killed, direct fire at the horde that accumulated with jugg and collect rewards. Refill decoys and jugg suits and repeat. Contracts give 5k each and so u can buy a jugg suit right away but for some reason we don’t find the need to drop points that often to re purchase. I think the mega abom drops plenty of extra points cuz by the time we are done farming we have about 40k. Make sure u buy juggs before exfiling, saves u time on the next run if u both have one already. Healing aura on one person cuz something always goes wrong. And if someone goes down, have the down person revive ALMOST to full. The person reviving will only have to fill the revive bar for the remainder that was left. U can revive a teammate in less then a second with this. If ur quick enough u get 40 mins of farming aboms easily

You’re going way out of your way. There’s ammo depots in the red zone to refill your decoys. You can even buy a jug suit and run a bounty to mix things up.

[@silasmos6862]

why would they nerf this? it’s a contract, we’re playing the game the way it was intended. the only thing they could possibly do is lower the drop rate of the rarer items that drop from it or move some of the items that do drop to another contract. like for instance you can no longer get schematics from convoy missions which imo would be stupid to do cause i do convoy missions in low tier zones back to back to get quick cash, schematics by chance and other things are just a bonus to me
