Finding a proper gear set can be a challenging feat to tackle in the massive open world of Urzikstan. That’s why it’s essential to utilize MW3 Zombies’ crafting feature to help you prepare for battle, and we’re here to show you what you need to do to get it done.
Modern Warfare 3 Zombies Crafting Guide
First and foremost, you must obtain a Schematic and exfil with it in order to use it for crafting. Then, once you’ve got that squared away, you can perform the following steps:
- Select the Gear section in the Zombies lobby
- Go into your Rucksack and press ‘Add item’
- Hit ‘Schematic Crafting’
- Craft your Schematic
Whenever you place an item in your Rucksack, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the Schematic Crafting and Acquisition Stash. The first option allows you to craft an acquisition, which can be used on your next MW3 Zombies session. However, it does come at the cost of a cooldown period, where you won’t be able to equip it for a certain time.
Zombies players won’t need any ingredients to craft recipes, but they must have the corresponding Schematic. Given how rare these items are, acquiring the entire collection will take a while, so you’ll have to work your way through each of them gradually.
The Schematic Crafting will be broken down into four categories: Aetherium, Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Wonder Weapons. These items will also include various rarities, starting from Uncommon, with the absolute best being Ultra.
