Great vid, Doughnuts! If I could make a high quality video teaching someone new how to play MWZ and zombies in general, it’d be this video right c’here. Chef’s kiss!
Thanks for this Doughnut. I get owned just about every time I hit tier 3. Panic mode lol. Can't wait to try this again with this info. You are the best man. Appreciate the tips
I went into tier 3 for the first time last night and was just running around. I ran into a team that dropped me tons of goodies! I was very thankful and they said they have everything they need and didn't need any of it. Pretty cool people in zombies mode!
There are a lot of nice people in zombies, definitely more than multiplayer and stuff. But the only times have had dick heads in my lobby was people taking the LTV from the deliver cargo contract I took and throwing it into water. One dude and his team had the audacity to say “lol he mad” after getting mad I took the contract instead of just joining my squad :/
Agree, doesn’t happen very often but I got revd by a player and he invited me to the group and they were going to tier 3, one even dropped a gun for me bc I want even ready for t2 and then we went to the DA. I got the aether blade and the plates.
Doughnuts the smallest tips like putting on an armor plate while sliding is always useful to point out! I’m a dark aether and tier 3 grinder with all schematics unlocked an had no idea I could do that 🤷🏻♂️ learn something new everyday!!
Same! That alone is worth the like! :) One other top tip there is how to go into tier 3. Like shown here, take it slow heading in. So much panic when driving in and suddenly being surrounded by 20 rabid zombies when the car gets wrecked. Though I will call out in answer to the mentioned comment 'hey doughnuts how come there are less...' is that *it seems to me* the later you go into T3 the quicker zombies spawn: i.e. if you imagine each area has a max limit on how many can be spawned at one time, that limit goes up as the clock ticks down. It's actually true everywhere, but in T3 you're gonna notice it more! #StaySmartShootSprinters
I actually have done extensive testing before with silencers on weapons in zombies. I've noticed a very considerable difference with how many zombies got aggressive with me when I was shooting them with a silenced weapon compared to an unsuppressed one. I've even had cases where I was firing at a group of zombies one by one at near point blank range, and the other zombies that would've otherwise got aggro'd, didn't even notice I was there. It's why I always put silencers on my insured weapons. It's that and armor piercing bullets for their piercing capability with crowds. Those 2 attachments on weapons for MWZ have been lifesavers for me.
To this day I still wonder if muzzle and laser sight attachments aggro zombies more or less depending what the player uses. If the attachment gives you the disadvantages in multiplayer, do those disadvantages also work on zombies? Does it give you more or less zombies?
Yes silencers work. I thought it was a bug but it actually works really well. bosses just stand there and don't even notice you. And way less zombies come to attack
@@_playa_ They are both the same just different words. "Silencers, suppressors." Recommended use suppressors in the muzzle category not the barrel category with an integrated suppressor/silencer.
Bonus Lesson: Don't go near mercs!!! Stay away. They hurt. Unless you have a story mission for them (like me...9/10 killed with a sentry bc my teammates wouldn't stop killing them on our bounty - 2nd lesson; if your teammates have a goal, please help them, don't screw them over. Put your headset on huh? Unless their mic has baaaad feedback or something, keep your headphones on. You never know when they MIGHT be trying to accomplish something!!!), steer clear of strongholds!! Easy way to be downed by snipers, rocket-launching annoying mercs, etc.
Sliding to gain distance and replate or reload at same time is a small but very helpful thing especially if ur getting a lil overwhelmed and need to reload or plate up cuz it saves u a lil bit of time and keeps ur momentum up!
8:00 Big tip for beginners drop TWO inhibitors at a time, it effects the spore much faster then picc them up and repeat. It’s very useful to drop 2 and picc them up
Each tier indicates how many chunks of flesh. And also if u don't wanna waste the time going through that escort contract then use the purple balls in tier 3. If there are enough zombies I usually get at least 3 chunks and then seek out the 3 dog house locations in tier 3
I can confirm that using a suppressor limits the agro of the zombies. Back to back testing with most all the suppressors and JAK BFG. Tests repeated with other muzzle devices. From what I can gather, the JAK BFG does not agro zombies anymore than the other non-suppressor's. If your trying to farm zombie kills, use a regular muzzle device, if your trying to move around the map, do contracts etc., use a suppressor.
The slide plate technique was GENIUS. Conquering T3 is my only barrier to this game at this point. I got all schematics and most of the of the OP guns leveled up but I don't feel comfortable running the Dark Aether every game. To be comfortable, I need to be comfortable in T3. You see the connection?
Completely get it . If I don’t start well in tier 3 I don’t feel I’d do well in the dark aether . If I have everything I need then im golden and definitely going into the dark aether . I don’t have all my schematics unlocked yet. But my team and I love to give it a go. Any chance we get!
I’d love to see a similar video for the Dark Aether. I am sooo unfamiliar with the area as I never played in Al Mazrah. Then when I’ve gone to the Dark Aether there are too many zomballs so I’m panic running for my life and can’t get my bearings. I remember feeling the same in T3 but at least you could dip out over the river when things got too squirrely or ask someone to come res.
Update! Now that T3 is jammed and folk are steadily going to the 3 DAs, I started joining squads. Last night our team of 4 completed Al Bagra and I got all three schematics no problem. I then went back in to do it again and died so I could tombstone the schematics over for the missus. Thankfully it worked and we never EVER have to go to that particular DA again!!! Defo getting more comfortable and have solo’d Sa’id (non-elder).
A lot of people only go for big box chests. But all loot things have chance for good stuff! I’ve seen tools, armor, weapons in zip bags and tool boxes!
I've had games where ive taken out better loot from boxes etc than i have the contracts! Always check lockers too, more so if you need a bigger backpack or vest.
Another random tip, if uncomfortable use frost ammo to slow stuff down, a random proc on the super runners make them snail pace. Also use the healing pulse field upgrade as it revives teammates if you are close enough
I did teir 5 today and got all 3 classified plans in one run with 2 other randoms. I'm so happy. I need to do the worm now for the last bits. When this game is good it's really good!
Love his. Watched another streamer who was like "if you're a beginner, this is how you do tier 3" and he instantly pops golden armor, aether blade, legendary aether tool, tier 3 PAP.... That isn't helpful. THIS is helpful, even to someone like me who's now a bit more comfortable running tier 3. Thanks, enjoy your channel!
Thank you for explaining how to move around….run, tac sprint and slide…never knew that method and will def spend some time getting it down. Although I’ve played T3, dark aether and even elder DA once, I was frustrated at being hit from behind all the time lol. This vid was so helpful!
My wife and I were playing yesterday and went to help 2 guys that went down on another squad. We picked them up and they dropped us 4 flawless crystals, a few legendary tools, some golden plates and an Aether blade case! Always help fellow players!
I had a fully pack'd ACR and a handful of perks & managed to solo 5 contracts in tier 3 with a 1-plate vest, filling your inventory with plates is a life saver
Don't be afraid guys. I go in there at the start of the game with fist only, go to the top of the tower in tier 3 and parachute to where the players are. And they are really nice and help most of the time. I'm telling you. Only carry one gun. And use fist with stamin up to sprint
Let me give you a tip that really helped me with anything in life. Doing something you fear can be very rewarding, I once fought the worm with literally a grey weapons but I had a bunch of people giving me confidence and I literally got schematics for t3 pack and everytime I did something I'm scared of I always got something pretty dang good Fear is just a feeling, overcoming that fear will be rewarding I can assure you😊❤❤❤
Hi doughnut, thanks for taking the time to make this kind of video. It has greatly improved my gameplay and especially helped me lose the zombie mental barrier. Thanks
Can you do this type of guide for the Dark Aether? I have got all the schematics for tier 1,2, and 3 and completed all the acts. I’m ready to get the good loot now lol
What do you need a guide for? Do you not know how to play Zombies after beating all the Acts? DA, which is just ACT 4, tier 4 and 5, which each one is slightly harder than the last. All the same principals apply. Just have a good gun if going solo and have good gear going into. It's best to go with a team but your choice. Going solo means nothing by the way, just something some players do.
Tip, put 2 inhibitors on 1 spore, it will remove it's armor almost instantly. That slide armor equip is nice, didn't know. I made it a habit to jump, hit slide in mid air and then reload button and character will slide when landing while also reloading. Got used to it from MW2019.
I was going from zero to hero yesterday after my failed bid at the legacy fortress. I picked up a deliver cargo contract that was right by tier 3. Some other dude came running by me with a horde chasing him. I almost crapped myself as I was not prepared for tier 3. Luckily I was able to get into a car and get out of there.
Ok. Hands down. This is the best video on how to survive solo in Tier 3. You just highlighted all of the mistakes that I make. Came to the game really late and I don't have any schematics from 3 or the dark aethers. Will have to break my brain from trying to kill everything in sight! Thanks!
OMFG doughnuts i literally was about to do a tier 3 whatever fun run and one of the dude said if anybody wants to do elder dark aether run and i got everything
I get about 2-3 Circuits before jumping into tier 3. They sometimes spawn in some great areas where you can sit and watch Mega Abominations, hoards, and specials get shredded. Always get at least 2 Legendary Tools from the MA’s.
Thank you. I didn't know about the sliding armor technique. I really enjoy zombies and I didn't play much warzone in the past - just primarily multiplayer. So definitely new things to learn
For the mega abominations, semtex does the same thing as termite in regards to blowing up the face, in fact I like it better than thermite due to the aoe size of semtex if I use it on regular zombies. Plus if you don't stow extra lethal grenades, the final head on mega abominations has double health compared to the other heads, so break the first one or two heads with your gun then grenade the final one for an easy break
Thank you for these videos I was a warzone player mostly but I started playing zombies with mw and your videos have made the mode much easier for me to understand
My go to is the sentry turret, it only costs 2k essence and can really help out on HVTs when using an under powered weapon. Plus you can buy them at the safer tier 2 buy stations.
If you put one decoy grenade in your backpack, you can restocking at three do you have one and now you’ve took it also only takes three termites to kill a mega abomination and what do you mean you can just do the same thing I told you to if you get four thermite, it’s better just in case if you miss
Great video and outstanding tips. I've been dipping my toes in tier 3 and getting my ass handed to me, and know I see the mistakes I was making (I'm one of those "many people" you see making the mistakes you pointed out) and know how to improve my chances. Can't wait to get grinding! Thanks!
An easy way to get extra thermites for megabombs is to drop 1 from your lethal slot and stow it then refill at ammo caches. If you have 3-4 you can kill it without a gun. Easy wa to get free essence and 3 plates or large bags.
Another great video! You have fast become my favourite MW3 zombies creator.Your vids are both entertaining and educational (I've got plenty of hours in zombies but never knew about the plating while sliding) and im always keen to load them up when they pop up on my feed. Keep up the great work. Would love to see a similar vid on the Dark Aether as well if you have the chance. Also, the Doughnut charm and vehicle skin is just chefs kiss
It's not unlimited or faster like cw so idk wtf it really does lol. It don't feel much faster after an hr running around tier 3 without scorcher following your squad lmao
Agreed. I play Cold War zombies with my hubby and stamin up is noticeably faster when you use it. I was really disappointed with it here because I don’t really see a huge difference. I wonder if someone has stats on this
@@pods22hb ya..they could've nerfed it but added less fall damage or something..the diving thing for fall damage isn't really useful.. no one uses phd like that lmao
I started running with a brake instead of a silencer while doing weapon camos and feel like I get the kills more quickly. I noticed while I was rounding them up that just running around and shooting seems to drag them in from further away but that could just be confirmation bias.
Thanks for the awesome guide! My biggest issue is time, by the time I have my perks and gun ready for tier 3 I have no time what so ever so I’m missing all the T3 schematics unfortunately. That being said if anyone runs squads to help with tier 3 farming please let me know I would love to join to try and get a couple of the T3 schems!! Thank you again for the guide!
I'm still surprised with how many players don't know about the thermite grenades and Megabombs mouths. I believe it works with molotovs as well. Napalm Burst for them is solid too. But the thermite in their mouths is a similar mechanic for something they did in Cold War. Two Thermites for the 1st two mouths, and Napalm Burst to finish off the 3rd usually makes them go down pretty quick. I always have a Jug-suit on hand for the ones in tougher locations where you have less cover like the one that spawns out by the Radar tower, or lure it to the Fire Station nearby and train any zombies on the staircase on the outside that leads to the roof.
A lot of Battle Rifles lack some of that extra damage or Fire Rate, but I've been finding them to be quite good lately, my normal weapons if I'm not typically grinding camos though I run the Lockwood 680 (obviously) or the M13b
Thank you for this video! Extremely helpful and excellent explanation with walkthrough. Was camo grinding so long I avoided T3 but with this walkthrough I’ll be all set
This help me and my girl out so much. We are way more comfortable being in t3 now. Do you think you would be able to do one for the first dark aether? Because I went in once and felt overwhelmed. Please I hope you read this and do one for the dark aether
tier 3 isn't the friendliest zone if you are planning to go in there DO NOT go in with 1 self revive since zombies after you revive yourself THEY CAN INSTANTLY START ATTACKING so i suggest having 4-5 self revives super sprinters are the only threat if you get stuck they will come up to you possibly sponging all the bullets and the other zombies will catch up and down you if you go down start smacking the zombies with your fists it puts out your anger and then revive yourself if you want to kill an abomination take it to tier 2 in a staircase and it'll get stuck trying to laser you but it will miss non-stop it will spam that laser there is also one staircase in tier 3. (i hope this helped)
I was happy to get the Jak Purifier flame thrower. Makes facing hordes head on more fun... Vs just running. Still gotta watch your back and run when you run out of flame thrower fuel, but running non stop got old quick. Hopefully they don't nerf the Jak Purifier.
Best is tombstone stash always keep it which helped me to get essence of 250k(of course it tooks times and days by doing tier 3 contract and some times dark ether contract) and also always stow your aether blade after doing it was helpful for me in when ever I play mach again and again
I found that if I have a rare aether tool equipped, I get more of them out of contracts in Tier 2 and 3, and if I have an epic equipped, i get more of them in tier 3. Not sure if there is a true correlation.
Sry, my English is horrible 😂 Ein riesen Lob an dich für diese Tier 3 Einführung!!! Nichts unnötiges, kurz knapp und sehr gut erklärt... Mach bitte weiter so....
I nearly have every schematic from tier 3 all i need is an epic aether tool plans so this helps lots with going to tier 3 without using many schematics to do so
Dead shot is way better and more effective on controller 🤷♂️I play ps5 and play on 20 20 sensitivity and dead shot makes a big difference, once you get a grip of the rotation I swear it’s the best sensitivity 👍
Thank you. Thank you for this. New to the game, late to start, so still without "all the schematics" the old timers here have. So thank you for this video. ❤ (Side note, I thought I wanted the 'epic eather blade"; but nooooo.... give me some of this streamer luck with the reward rifts)😅
Don’t forget quick revive perk. Not from faster self revives but the 50% faster health regeneration after taking hits. Along with Jug perk that boost health.
Ftac siege from last year is surprisingly good once you pack and obviously use a ether tool at least rare the thing has 144 bullets to a clips with 500 something reserved. 1 shot to the head and melts the worm to almost to half health with one mag
4:17 usually i get 30x super printer armored zombies with 2x mimic and disciples chasing me :) oh and dont forget the 10 dogs and mega that aggroed me out from nowhere.
Bro I didn't know to do this. And thanks for helping with sprint with killstreak. I just gave my knife up so now will use this. I wish I had some people to play missions in tier three. I need schematics
Woah woah woah now gonuts, the ram 9 is absolutly not a nothing gun. Ive maxed leveled every smg exclusivly in zombies and the ram 9 if setup right, is imo the best. Its my 2nd favorite gun at this point. I noticed it seems to do an odd ammount of damadge to the red worm as well. EDIT: Ram 9: slate reflector optic but I just went to jak glassless, grimline laser, imperator light barrel, DR6 hand stop, retort grip tape. Feel free to try this build. If youve got speed cola and deadshot then there isnt anything you cant do.
Keep the tips coming Doughnuts! Im ok in T3 but really struggle with the dark ether solo (T4 & havent even made it to T5), if you fancy doing a noob guide 😅 still need tthe 3 classified schematics
Great video, you make it look so easy, I love zombies but as a very inexperienced player I'm always hoping for an experienced player who's willing to help. When those players are in my squad I have so much fun
A good quality of life improvement for this game please, make all contracts not disappear for any player. I’m sick of going to tier 3 only for people to be tombstoning glitching with scorchers every game and taking all the contracts.
Ive tried going into tier 3 a few times and with all the perks and running with fists out i always get a ton of zombies on me that are fast enough to run and constantly hit me. Plates never last. I've seen so many videos where people are in tier 3 and no zombies around. One time with a team we tried a mega abomination and got absolutely destroyed by zombies even with decoys. After going down multiple times i managed to get to tier 2 reload and get back in to revive my team and we retreated into the water and didn't go back. We lost the bounty. Honestly don't know how anyone survives. Stuck running tier 2 mainly.
I have the tier one schematics and the ray guy schematic but I need the dog bone gold armor plate the r 11 the scorcher and Ather blade but I'm not good enough to do tier 3 myself
Great vid, Doughnuts! If I could make a high quality video teaching someone new how to play MWZ and zombies in general, it’d be this video right c’here. Chef’s kiss!
Wow! What a compliment. Made my day :D thank you!

Almost never? Did you mean never?
1000 percent
Definitely
Something I've started doing is escort contracts in tier 1 getting 4 zombie chunks and get a hellhound. Really good if you play solo.
Yeah, super underrated techniques to survive there when you're solo
You only need 3 and thats for all 3 teirs. More space in the backpack for loot.

Some other dude came running by me with a horde chasing him. I almost crapped myself as I was not prepared for tier 3. Luckily I was able to get into a car and get out of there.
You are not alone:-)
Ok. Hands down. This is the best video on how to survive solo in Tier 3. You just highlighted all of the mistakes that I make. Came to the game really late and I don't have any schematics from 3 or the dark aethers. Will have to break my brain from trying to kill everything in sight! Thanks!
25:42 I didn't even know that was possible!
You learn something new every day!
the best explained video about the 3 zone that i have seen in 2 month 👌🥳
OMFG doughnuts i literally was about to do a tier 3 whatever fun run and one of the dude said if anybody wants to do elder dark aether run and i got everything
Glad to have helped!
I get about 2-3 Circuits before jumping into tier 3. They sometimes spawn in some great areas where you can sit and watch Mega Abominations, hoards, and specials get shredded. Always get at least 2 Legendary Tools from the MA’s.
Thank you. I didn't know about the sliding armor technique. I really enjoy zombies and I didn't play much warzone in the past - just primarily multiplayer. So definitely new things to learn
Dang Doughnuts, you dominating tier 3! Btw your voice is so soft while other youtubers are there yelling and sounding so thrilled!
Great quality content Doughnuts and you have a great community as well. Everyone is very helpful. Thanks for the great work.
For the mega abominations, semtex does the same thing as termite in regards to blowing up the face, in fact I like it better than thermite due to the aoe size of semtex if I use it on regular zombies. Plus if you don't stow extra lethal grenades, the final head on mega abominations has double health compared to the other heads, so break the first one or two heads with your gun then grenade the final one for an easy break
Thank you for these videos I was a warzone player mostly but I started playing zombies with mw and your videos have made the mode much easier for me to understand
Wow, this is so helpful. I've been in 3 several times doing tiny errors you've pointed out. Great video. Thank you for posting.
My go to is the sentry turret, it only costs 2k essence and can really help out on HVTs when using an under powered weapon. Plus you can buy them at the safer tier 2 buy stations.
If you put one decoy grenade in your backpack, you can restocking at three do you have one and now you’ve took it also only takes three termites to kill a mega abomination and what do you mean you can just do the same thing I told you to if you get four thermite, it’s better just in case if you miss
THE DONUT CAR SKIN!!!!! ❤️
Great video and outstanding tips. I've been dipping my toes in tier 3 and getting my ass handed to me, and know I see the mistakes I was making (I'm one of those "many people" you see making the mistakes you pointed out) and know how to improve my chances. Can't wait to get grinding! Thanks!
An easy way to get extra thermites for megabombs is to drop 1 from your lethal slot and stow it then refill at ammo caches. If you have 3-4 you can kill it without a gun. Easy wa to get free essence and 3 plates or large bags.
Thanks for the useful tips I'll put them into practice.
Omg this is my fav vid I have seen so far!
Really well explained dude. Well done
Thank you so much!
Another great video! You have fast become my favourite MW3 zombies creator.Your vids are both entertaining and educational (I've got plenty of hours in zombies but never knew about the plating while sliding) and im always keen to load them up when they pop up on my feed. Keep up the great work. Would love to see a similar vid on the Dark Aether as well if you have the chance.
Also, the Doughnut charm and vehicle skin is just chefs kiss
fav youtuber love the vids man keep it up
Aww, thank you so much!
I feel like Stamin up perk doesnt work like it used to...feels nerfed. U should be able to outrun all tier 3 zombies...except the hounds..
It's not unlimited or faster like cw so idk wtf it really does lol. It don't feel much faster after an hr running around tier 3 without scorcher following your squad lmao
Agreed. I play Cold War zombies with my hubby and stamin up is noticeably faster when you use it. I was really disappointed with it here because I don’t really see a huge difference. I wonder if someone has stats on this
Stamina up caught a huge nerf back in Season 1, I think. You cant outrun sprinters anymore. It's not really useful anymore.
@@pods22hb ya..they could've nerfed it but added less fall damage or something..the diving thing for fall damage isn't really useful.. no one uses phd like that lmao
Except for super sprinters and hellhounds, you can. As seen in the video!
Great tips. I’m just starting to grind solo and this is really helping me out. We appreciate the videos
I started running with a brake instead of a silencer while doing weapon camos and feel like I get the kills more quickly. I noticed while I was rounding them up that just running around and shooting seems to drag them in from further away but that could just be confirmation bias.
Hello Doughnuts! Love your vids! New subscriber. Was wondering do the tier 3 wall buys continuously give the same guns, slightly different? Thanks!
Did not know about the slide plate combo and I play zombies a lot. I am informed now. Thank you brotato.
Doughnuts…Nice touch with the Classified song at the start! Awesome song.
Thanks for the awesome guide! My biggest issue is time, by the time I have my perks and gun ready for tier 3 I have no time what so ever so I’m missing all the T3 schematics unfortunately. That being said if anyone runs squads to help with tier 3 farming please let me know I would love to join to try and get a couple of the T3 schems!! Thank you again for the guide!
I tend to farm circuits in Tier 1/2 before going into Tier 3. As I use them it frees up stash space to pickup perks in Tier 3.
I'm still surprised with how many players don't know about the thermite grenades and Megabombs mouths. I believe it works with molotovs as well. Napalm Burst for them is solid too. But the thermite in their mouths is a similar mechanic for something they did in Cold War. Two Thermites for the 1st two mouths, and Napalm Burst to finish off the 3rd usually makes them go down pretty quick. I always have a Jug-suit on hand for the ones in tougher locations where you have less cover like the one that spawns out by the Radar tower, or lure it to the Fire Station nearby and train any zombies on the staircase on the outside that leads to the roof.
A lot of Battle Rifles lack some of that extra damage or Fire Rate, but I've been finding them to be quite good lately, my normal weapons if I'm not typically grinding camos though I run the Lockwood 680 (obviously) or the M13b
The only contracts that really spawn up is the spore control the rest either takes forever or never pops up
Thank you for this video! Extremely helpful and excellent explanation with walkthrough. Was camo grinding so long I avoided T3 but with this walkthrough I’ll be all set
This help me and my girl out so much. We are way more comfortable being in t3 now. Do you think you would be able to do one for the first dark aether? Because I went in once and felt overwhelmed. Please I hope you read this and do one for the dark aether
tier 3 isn't the friendliest zone if you are planning to go in there DO NOT go in with 1 self revive since zombies after you revive yourself THEY CAN INSTANTLY START ATTACKING so i suggest having 4-5 self revives super sprinters are the only threat if you get stuck they will come up to you possibly sponging all the bullets and the other zombies will catch up and down you if you go down start smacking the zombies with your fists it puts out your anger and then revive yourself if you want to kill an abomination take it to tier 2 in a staircase and it'll get stuck trying to laser you but it will miss non-stop it will spam that laser there is also one staircase in tier 3. (i hope this helped)
Problem is you only have 45 minutes to get all your requirements. Energy mine is currently glitched and doesnt go off sometimes
I love your videos! You are very entertaining and your voice is super enjoyable to listen!🤩
Thank you so much! :D
If you dont have a lot of loot or dont have a big backpack, i recommend speed cola, deadshot, and juggernog/quickrevive
I was happy to get the Jak Purifier flame thrower. Makes facing hordes head on more fun... Vs just running. Still gotta watch your back and run when you run out of flame thrower fuel, but running non stop got old quick. Hopefully they don't nerf the Jak Purifier.
Best is tombstone stash always keep it which helped me to get essence of 250k(of course it tooks times and days by doing tier 3 contract and some times dark ether contract) and also always stow your aether blade after doing it was helpful for me in when ever I play mach again and again
I found that if I have a rare aether tool equipped, I get more of them out of contracts in Tier 2 and 3, and if I have an epic equipped, i get more of them in tier 3. Not sure if there is a true correlation.
I've never tried the slide method and get overwhelmed fairly quickly this video was very helpful as I still need the classified schematics thx
Man I love zombies but I literally suck at it as soon as I get to tier two I always die and this last time I some good stuff. I almost cried 😅
I use to avoid tier 3 like the plague but after this video not saying I'm an expert but I definitely feel more comfortable in tier 3. Thanks
I just started playing mw3 zombies and you helped a lot to me rn
Sry, my English is horrible 😂 Ein riesen Lob an dich für diese Tier 3 Einführung!!! Nichts unnötiges, kurz knapp und sehr gut erklärt... Mach bitte weiter so....
I nearly have every schematic from tier 3 all i need is an epic aether tool plans so this helps lots with going to tier 3 without using many schematics to do so
Dead shot is way better and more effective on controller 🤷♂️I play ps5 and play on 20 20 sensitivity and dead shot makes a big difference, once you get a grip of the rotation I swear it’s the best sensitivity 👍
Thank you. Thank you for this. New to the game, late to start, so still without "all the schematics" the old timers here have. So thank you for this video.
❤
(Side note, I thought I wanted the 'epic eather blade"; but nooooo.... give me some of this streamer luck with the reward rifts)😅
Don’t forget quick revive perk. Not from faster self revives but the 50% faster health regeneration after taking hits. Along with Jug perk that boost health.
A fun game of zombie parkour about sums it up lol great tips, games never explain much or helpful tips and this definitely helps.
Dude, this helped me out so much. I appreciate it.
Ftac siege from last year is surprisingly good once you pack and obviously use a ether tool at least rare the thing has 144 bullets to a clips with 500 something reserved. 1 shot to the head and melts the worm to almost to half health with one mag
Thanks for the video Doughnuts, I appreciate it!
Thank you
4:17 usually i get 30x super printer armored zombies with 2x mimic and disciples chasing me :) oh and dont forget the 10 dogs and mega that aggroed me out from nowhere.
Somebody gave me the tier 3 crystal schematic, but man, I really want the tier 2 crystal and purple tool schematics, but jesus, they don't drop.
Bro I didn't know to do this. And thanks for helping with sprint with killstreak. I just gave my knife up so now will use this. I wish I had some people to play missions in tier three. I need schematics
Doughnut always makes great content
Woah woah woah now gonuts, the ram 9 is absolutly not a nothing gun. Ive maxed leveled every smg exclusivly in zombies and the ram 9 if setup right, is imo the best. Its my 2nd favorite gun at this point. I noticed it seems to do an odd ammount of damadge to the red worm as well.
EDIT: Ram 9: slate reflector optic but I just went to jak glassless, grimline laser, imperator light barrel, DR6 hand stop, retort grip tape.
Feel free to try this build. If youve got speed cola and deadshot then there isnt anything you cant do.
This is the Rival 9... Not Ram 9 lol
@@Doughnuts omg I'm an idiot
@@Doughnuts ya rival 9 is a nothing gun 😆
That slide plating i did not know yet TNNX!!!
Happy to help! :D
Keep the tips coming Doughnuts! Im ok in T3 but really struggle with the dark ether solo (T4 & havent even made it to T5), if you fancy doing a noob guide 😅 still need tthe 3 classified schematics
The karambit works to instead of just fists and it does good damage when upgraded
Great video, you make it look so easy, I love zombies but as a very inexperienced player I'm always hoping for an experienced player who's willing to help. When those players are in my squad I have so much fun
On my goodness doughnuts can i please get a video about your loadouts I mean you were soloing with a rival with only a pack 2!
Gonuts out here single handedly saving us all
:D
A good quality of life improvement for this game please, make all contracts not disappear for any player. I’m sick of going to tier 3 only for people to be tombstoning glitching with scorchers every game and taking all the contracts.
Ive tried going into tier 3 a few times and with all the perks and running with fists out i always get a ton of zombies on me that are fast enough to run and constantly hit me. Plates never last. I've seen so many videos where people are in tier 3 and no zombies around. One time with a team we tried a mega abomination and got absolutely destroyed by zombies even with decoys. After going down multiple times i managed to get to tier 2 reload and get back in to revive my team and we retreated into the water and didn't go back. We lost the bounty. Honestly don't know how anyone survives. Stuck running tier 2 mainly.
Very informative best tips I've seen so far, I think that was a single pack a punch crystal schematic though
Tier 3 zone is just scary man, maybe if I use a smaller tv, the mega abomination will look smaller.
I have the tier one schematics and the ray guy schematic but I need the dog bone gold armor plate the r 11 the scorcher and Ather blade but I'm not good enough to do tier 3 myself
How can you keep your gun white/gold camo after pack-a-punch it to level II? 🧐
Absolutely brilliant advice thank you 👍👍
I use the chimera because it has a default suppressor already. And I can say it does seem like smaller horses than not having a suppressor
