The 115 Easter egg is the best addition to this game they’ve made. Top 3 Easter egg songs ever in my opinion

[@Indacouchh]

Beauty of Annihilation is the goat in my opinion but 115 is fire too 🔥🔥

[@whitewidow9046]

What are you talking about? I don't know what that is

[@BuzWeaver]

What's weird for me is the ammo caches in the final boss area, don't work for me. It's incredibly odd. I see guys using the caches in games, but for some reason they don't work for me.

[@Doughnuts]

It almost felt like a reassurance from the developers like, "we're still here... we can still surprise you". Made me so happy. Still does :D

[@whitewidow9046]

Hey guys I just heard something odd I've never seen in 12 days if mwz. In t2 in a store and heard music. Followed it until it got loud and noticed it was moving while I was still. I followed it outside into the middle of the street. It was a song with lyrics and it faded away but I could not follow it for it to get louder and then it was gone forever. I was near the circle street thing by the radio tower on the south middle portion of T2. I'd really like to know what that was.

[@Jaryn_Bibb]

Bit of advice for the Scorcher users. When you’re in the building where the HVT contract is in and you have a Scorcher, whatever you do… *DO NOT* superjump through the glass on the roof. The glass will insta down you upon impact and you’ll immediately die when you fall down since you’re flying so high. I haven’t experienced this but I know someone who learned this the hard way.

[@Richtofens_revenge]

✅

[@yoteeel6642]

lol. i learned the semi hard way. got insta revived after being insta downed and pulled the chute. laughed my ass off😂

[@ClwnJuNkY]

That Instant Die pissed me right off in many areas . Get double tapped just before blast off and bam fly into the sky on last stand only to hit the ground and not be able to be revived !

[@HeavynKelsall]

THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME 5 MINS AGO 😭😭😭😭

[@ajg3064]

bro i got stuck on the semi truck going for the gloves and i insta died. lost everything... 600 levels :(

[@iJobama]

Everything about the set up for the Rift is tuned differently for solo players and squads. All the seals when done solo are 10 kills or less, the fog one its about 10 per ammo type solo. The Mirror only spawns 1 zombie needing 1 ammo type, if you are a duo 2 spawn, trio 3 spawn. And the boxing zombie spawns by itself as a solo but as a squad multiple zombies spawn in making it a little more awkward. The target seems to be the same. None of it is really difficult but its much faster to do if you are just solo

[@Doughnuts]

This is AWESOME! So good to know!

[@Gordito619]

Tip for all who didn't know. If you just equip 1 kashmir and stow the rest when you spawn in the dark aether the game will give you 2 so 1 free.

[@freesmokefreesmoke]

I did this mission three times, how comes when you guys upload these videos it seems so relaxed and walk through but when I’m in game it’s way more hectic and hard. What settings are u playing on bro?

[@mil3sR0]

Quality content as always! Keep up the great work bro! 👊🏼

[@HillbillyJedi88]

Thanks for the help D! Glad we have great content creators like you to help us out!

[@huckerlas25]

Every gaming youtube channel: All you need to dominate the dark aether is A legendary weapon Triple packed Aether blade Golden armor 72 Kazimir grenades Mags of holding a partridge in a pear tree And the most important is...BE VERY VERY GOOD AT THE GAME!

[@abronlattieriii2141]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and a partridge in a pear tree

[@darrenbyrne4939]

Alan partridge aha😂

[@spydernyne984]

People need to quit bitching about the new schematics not being all guaranteed in a single run. It's a good thing they aren't. It helps the replay value.

[@josephcruz1367]

I agree all the way

[@perrycomm]

dont forget that you will lose containment levels when you go inside there.i lose 20-50levels per game ,win or lose dosent matter at all ,did 3 elder runs everytime lose even more strikes.

[@KDDD10]

It’s so stupid

[@perrycomm]

I agree, I gave up, everyone in the game is getting also one shot, one of our teammates, flu into the sky and got killed and no one wasent able do rev. him, the speed and lags zombies plus lose containment levels makes the game not enjoyable@@KDDD10​

[@spydernyne984]

Strikes? Did you mean streaks?

[@Nicklafuego]

What?

[@whitewidow9046]

I gained level but I did maybe 8 contracts before I went in and did those 3. I was at 5 and ended at 11. If you notice on your stats when you go into the DA it starts a new round and you get a eliminated for the 1st round and so I think that has something to do with it. If you go right into the DA then an elimination and only getting 3 contracts would probably make you lose the streak?

[@YanoshDanosh]

lovin your guides brother keep it up

[@shawnclift6952]

Love the videos doughnuts thanks to this video unlocked it all solo wasn’t bad at all keep up the great content

[@BuzWeaver]

You can use the under barrel flamer thrower to really destroy boss mobs or zombies in general. I'm anticipating a nerf as early as tomorrow, Monday.

[@ooo18]

‏The video is very beautiful I watched it in full I enjoyed and learned thank you ❤🔥

[@YoBoiiAdrian]

Ahhh you explained everything perfect, and explained everything 😅 thx you this help alot

[@KingKoin]

The containment level bug is very annoying. Dropped two tiers before i noticed.

[@BuzWeaver]

And if you die like I did, you lose two total.

[@peopleschoice5183]

That area of the game is definitely a experience! Great idea to add that 👍🏾

[@John_Deere_Kenworth]

thank you doughnuts this helped lots, thanks!

[@user-oz3xj4fh7b]

OMG dude.. thanks so much for this video... got us through the entire easter egg... we died a few times, out of bounds and couldn't get back in.. and the other time the storm came and killed us... LOL... but thanks to your video we got'er done...

[@NastyGamer13]

When you do any act story mission it drops you as well. I was at 100 and dropped back to 50 after helping a friend do Shepard.

[@williamnunez5142]

I died fighting the mimic at the portal and no one was able to rez me. It did give me permanent access to the portal but I still failed the boss fight. Thought I’d have to re do it, but here to share that you don’t and it’s okay.

[@Kang003]

Best guide I have seen

[@BlackSuitKizame2024]

Y'know I Was Doing Today Two Act4 Part 1 And 2 So I Would To Say Thank You So Much For This Guide :D I Made It Throught Because Your Building Weapon Set I Used RAM9 HipFire And RGL Clear Horde Now I Can Get Schematic Somehow

[@jordanroby94]

I finally got Dark Aether on Cold War

[@eastlettuce7917]

Hell yeah man. That is one of my favorite mastery camos. I’m close to unlocking borealis on mwz

[@Dragonslayer39-fu3on]

Congrats bro, that’s a huge accomplishment

[@darnellstrattonbey6974]

Do you have to do the first datk aether mission before this one or can you skip it? I never activated my tier 4 because I did the first one with a teammate who was going in and got all the schematics.

[@dustin8420]

If you start one of those pillars up and then go away and do the main mission and then come back and start that pillar up again the spawn rate doubles.. and you may need mags of holding to not get overrun. Hands down absolutely the most constant stream of zombies I've seen in the game.

[@Joepeoplesvii]

My portals are all weird. The new one only prompts me to open if I stand just right and the old one is invisible but I can still put a sigil in it. Love it!

[@uways100]

Doughnuts they might've gotten rid of your favorite loot spots. I just loaded in a few times in a row to try and find a large rucksack and 3 plate. Each time I went to the building in the north of Tier 2 and didnt find them in the lockers

[@TheAsvmagee]

Did you just stutter in a comment

[@hinesvillekilla2327]

You need to check the OTHER BUILDINGS around popov power... I thought the same thing at first but upon looking further than the end of my nose... I found 1 in a building to the west/southwest that has a set of 2 or 3 lockers in it...

[@aeroflopper]

you can refill a green gas mask, they just don't last as long as a durable, and storing green mask's in your bag, they all go down at the same time as the one you using, oh and use two battle rifles one with the chain saw attachment and one with the blow torch attachment kills everything instantly.

[@darthdripwalker9400]

I was doing the new aether rift on solo with no Teammates , I got down a couple times while doing my missions, but successfully done… I got 2 v-R11 case and wonder waffle weapon only

[@bobbycarmichael2562]

Doughnuts brotha, I just finally got through.Everything got to the pedestals and DA didnt open...any thoughts? Wound up picking up the four items So I didn't lose them and have to do everything again.

[@Fishytoelover2]

Tempus razorback gets a 120 mag count 900 reserve

[@jacksonrietz2241]

Joined a team that was doing it. Got all the new schematics and we finished in 5 minutes

[@the_odatria_project]

there is another exfil in the fog, where you got the bunny for the outlast go to top of building again and look to the fog it's north west as you look at the fog.

[@djbuell425]

Is it there during the countermeasures mission? Im trying to go back in and get the mirror without having to do the whole mission over

[@josephtiberius7651]

@@djbuell425what did you end up doing? I just did the whole thing but wasn’t able to get the mirror 😢

[@dpasten86]

You gifted your game crashing curse to me now hahaha. See you running the game without crashing, was finally free this weekend going into the new story mission. Bam! Game crashed lost all loot we brought in 😅😂 now i know how you felt all these times bro😂

[@TattooedCS]

I died to the mimic sadly because I rushed opening the portal but I did put everything on the pedestals.. does that mean I just need a sigil to open it now? Or do I have to restart the whole mission?.. please let me know

[@mikee4375]

I was wondering why my containment level kept going down. Thanks for the heads up.

[@scottbolin263]

You can actually get into the store that Fletcher's squad is in, but you have to go around to the rear. Don't know if this actually helps with anything, but I did find this trying way too hard to find the cysts. If you're going into stores you're doing to much, they are all in the main T shaped hallway.

[@PillsburyDROboy]

16:19 everyone remember if you equip just 1 kazamir you get one for free when you go into the dark aerher

[@ewokisamokis747]

I got the drum thing solo but didn't know what to next. So here I am! Wait I suppose to do all this in one run? Or can I go back in.

[@whitewidow9046]

Man I just had the best round. Found TS, Elemental Pop, Ray Gun, Epic Tool, Mag of Holding, and VR11 schimatics lol and better yet we had a noob with us and he got all of that haha he was super stoked. 1st time he went to the DA too. We had a 5 man squad and had 3 min left in the elder. 1st time I went to the new elder also. Great match!

[@tanksrfun191]

i got vr 11 scorcher and flawless atherium the last 2 from the worm but still all in one game is crazy

[@kingdomoftyrants9844]

I was fucking around with the new sword and matched with a random player and he wanted to do it. Haven't even done Bad Signal yet lol. Went surprisingly well

[@SegetHills]

What is the difference if you have the ELDER SIGIL with you instead? Better loot?

[@w.m9494]

For the glove go to the back of the boat and climb up on the ledge

[@benjisway]

Can you still do the old aether rift? When I unlock the new one, the old one doesn’t pop up for me anymore.

[@AlCappucino]

Do you have to do all the items in 1 run? Im missing one. But I thought maybe bring these two the altar and than do the last one.

[@roberttitler7204]

There are twice as many zombies, triple the dogs and 75% are sprinters now

[@endisforever22]

the targets is timed, i couldn't find one and ended up having to go get another target form the aether so make sure you know where they all are first

[@OhimStarSeed]

Everyone I go Dark Ether I lose containment levels 🤦🏾‍♂️ I hope they fix that asap

[@mohammedpatel5829]

Same

[@evanvavoulas4011]

Thanks for this video now I will just go in by myself and the wonder weapons still suck but the cross bow still kicks just put exploding tip on it

[@whitewidow9046]

The Scorcher is your best friend in there, plus at pap 3 you can charge it and shoot the ground when at the extractor. Not great but it dies work. Kazmires are a guarantee tho.

[@JayLauren]

i had to do this twice. the first time i went to the tornado a megabom spawned right in the middle and i got swarmed. PISSED me off

[@phongnguyen3948]

Excellent. I want to be like you. Tks.

Hey doughnuts when you do the "best route video" that u mentioned. Could you show on tac map where each bunny is. 🙏🏽

Did you know that the after life arcade music has been backwards the whole time in infinite warfare zombies but if you play it backwards then It sound like it forwards instead of backwards 😱

Have exfils been buffed?? As in MORE zombies?? I left game yesterday and AS SOON AS I POPPED THE EXFIL THERE WAS A HORDE LIKE NOTHING IVE SEEN BEFORE!! Lol it was really large something like over 100 kills just waiting for exfil! I like it I was just surprised

I was in the new dark aether and I was so pissed bc I didn’t know where the exfil was and I lost like 3 flawless crystals and like 2 vr11 cases and I lost the mag of holding schematic and the blood burner schematic I was so pissed

Fun fact: the VR-11 case at the end of the new act mission is guaranteed

I dont know what happen but the second time i get in dark ather to get the purple items i didnt in this fog like in a second why?

[@Domothedon9209]

Try not to let the shock mimic grab you I was helping someone out and it sent me under the map had to leave match and loose Everything lol

[@markmiko5312]

I think this is actually a small possibility of happening with any mimic. I had that happen to a friend I was playing with, but it was by a Tier2 mimic in a building. It grabbed him on a stairwell and he went through the map and had to leave the match and lose everything.

[@carbontsx05]

i was in a random group lastnight i was on the exfil chopper and they went to the elder dark aether i voted no, i got the sucessful exfil screen then was pulled into the dark aether with a unpacked common weapon no perks or money and couldnt switch to my fists and they all died was not a good night

The act 4 portal you have to actually beat the mission to get the exfil to open but its at the top middleish on the hill. Another in the fog you can see from where the outlast bunny is.
