How to Get the Ray Gun in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

Modern Warfare 3 features a pretty fun campaign, a solid multiplayer mode, and of course, a Zombies mode. Longtime fans will know that there are plenty of unique weapons to get in the Zombies mode, and if you’re wondering how to get the Ray Gun in Modern Warfare 3, here’s what you need to know.

Unlocking the Ray Gun in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies

Luckily for you, the Ray Gun can be acquired very early on in your Zombies run in Modern Warfare 3. Unfortunately for you, it does require a little bit of RNG.

To get the Ray Gun, you’ll need to open a Mystery Box or craft its Schematic. Just like in previous iterations of the Zombies mode, Mystery Boxes will spawn at random points on the map in Zombies, so even just getting to a Box will come down to chance, but it is possible to find one at the very start of the run. These crates will be marked with a question and box icon on the Tac-Map.

Once you find a Mystery Box, getting the Ray Gun from it also comes down to chance. There’s a set pool of unique weapons you can get in Zombies mode, and the Ray Gun is one of them. This means that there’s a high chance you’ll just end up with some other weapon when you open a Mystery Box, and your best bet is to just keep opening Boxes with 950 Essence until you luck out and get the Ray Gun.

Other than the Mystery Box method, you can try to find the Ray Gun Schematic, which can be relatively challenging to find. Fortunately, Youtuber MZC has narrowed down the search to one particular method.

In their findings, they suggest completing a Bounty contract at the High threat level, specifically with the Mega Abomination. Keep in mind that it may not always drop with this enemy, so it can take a few attempts for it to work.

Then, you’ll need to exfil with the Ray Gun Schematic to craft it in your Rucksack’s Schematic Crafting section. Once players use it for the next playthrough, it will have a cooldown of 48 hours to limit its usage.

While the Ray Gun is easily one of the most powerful weapons you can get in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the good news is that pretty much all of the other weapons are also quite good to have as well. They may not come close to matching the Ray Gun’s power, but they’ll certainly serve you well during your run.
