Hands Off Mission Objectives

Where to Find A Sentry Gun

The fifth tier of Act 1 in Modern Warfare Zombies will require players to begin using ammo mods and killstreaks to kill enemies, such as the Hands Off mission. This mission will require players to track down a sentry gun in Urzikstan, along with a Cyphered Tablet quest item. Players will have to scavenge the map to find the required killstreak, or risk traversing to the Medium Threat Zone if they hope to complete the Hands Off mission.

If players can complete all mission objectives, they'll unlock a unique calling card and receive an experience bonus, and progress further towards eradicating the Terminus Outcomes mercenary forces.

Hands Off Mission Objectives

Hands Off has three objectives revolving around acquiring a sentry gun and killing various enemies with the killstreak. To find the Cyphered Tablet, players will want to watch for loot drops when killing mercenaries with the sentry gun as the tablet will drop from one of the killed mercenaries ( as long as the 20 zombies objective is already completed).

Where to Find A Sentry Gun

When players have the Hands Off mission active, sentry guns will begin appearing in increased numbers in tool boxes and mercenary crates. Players can find these killstreaks in any tier level, but if players are having difficulty getting their hands on a sentry gun, one can be bought from a buy station in the Tier II Threat Zone for 2000 essence. If players do make their way to Tier II for the sentry gun, they can quickly rack up the twenty zombie kills by running through the Medium Threat Zone, allowing zombies to spawn, then running in a circle to group up the zombies.

By drawing a square with their movements, players can begin to corral zombies until they are running inside each other, allowing for rapid elimination. Get the zombies grouped together, then drop the sentry gun and run past it, so the gun is aimed at the players' back. As players run away from the gun, the zombie horde will run past the gun and into its line of fire, quickly decreasing in numbers as the sentry gun gets to work. Players may need to double back to keep the zombies in range of the sentry gun, but players should be able to take out all 20 zombies with one sentry gun, as long as the zombies remain in range of the gun during the time it is active.

After destroying 20 zombies, head to the nearest mercenary camp. Players can buy another sentry gun if a buy station is nearby, although once the first objective in the Hands Off mission is completed, the chance of sentry guns spawning will increase astronomically when players search mercenary loot crates. If players can sneak into an encampment and access the loot caches, they can check for a sentry gun, and quickly deploy it to drop all the mercenaries. Be sure to eliminate the counter UAV drone overhead, as it will interfere with the targeting system of the sentry gun and prevent it from being able to lock on to the mercenaries.

Players will only need to attack one encampment in the Medium Threat Zone to complete the second objective, drop the sentry gun where it has a good vision of the main area of the encampment, and relocate between various cover in the area. By staying out of sight of the mercenaries, this will force them to reposition in an attempt to get sight of players, running directly into the line of fire of the turret.

Keep an eye on the left side of the HUD for the Cyphered Tablet drop - players will receive a notification in the killfeed that the tablet was dropped by a mercenary and is ready to pickup. Grab the tablet as soon as available,as they can despawn if players do not grab the quest item in a timely manner.

Once players complete all three objectives, they will be awarded a random perk power-up in game and will unlock the Mayhem on Wheels calling card along with 1500 experience.
