The third act of Modern Warfare 3 Zombies will further challenge players as they progress through the tiers of missions as they work with Dr. Jansen and Operation Deadbolt to find a way to halt the progressing Aether Storm and stop the deadly Terminus Outcomes forces and their leader, Zakhaev.

Players will have to take on the hardest missions yet, with objectives requiring taking out boss monsters, operating in the High Threat Area, and clearing Legacy's Fortress to defeat the Warlord of Urzikstan, Legacy. Because of the extra challenge players must face, they will be greatly rewarded with epic and legendary acquisitions and the schematic for the Wunderwaffe DG-2.
