After players complete the Extraction story mission in Act 1 of Modern Warfare 3 - Zombies, Operation Deadbolt, they will unlock the second act of the new Zombies story. Act 2, Mother of Invention, will have players work to set up Dr. Jansen's lab and begin working against Zakhaev's Terminus Outcomes mercenary group by diving deeper into completing contracts, upgrading weapons, and earning kills, all while working toward the next story mission, Shepherd.

While the mission objectives get more complicated, the rewards improve to match players' efforts, with higher XP amounts and higher tier acquisitions like epic aether tools and schematics like the cryo freeze ammo mod.
