<br>Aether Extractors - The symbol for the Aether Extractors contract is a tall, lanky oval on a stand, resembling a rocket - it looks similar to the Spore Control contract symbol, but the bottom has points and is a taller, skinnier sym<br><br> <br>One of the newest perks in the roster, Death Perception, is a player's best friend when operating in close-quarters environments. After drinking this Perk-a-Cola , players will be able to see any nearby threats or available loot through walls and other environmental obstacles. A form of x-ray vision, Death Perception will highlight dangerous enemies and valuables in a dark red-burgundy aura , making it easy for players to dodge attacks while running around corners and quickly evaluate if a building has any loot crates ins<br><br> <br>Once the first extractor is down, head for the second marked location and begin dispatching the mercenaries. It is important to remain calm and focused - despite the time limit for this contract, panicking and rushing is a sure way to get caught off guard by a mercenary and get downed. There is typically more resistance on the first two extractors , so do not worry if it takes more than a minute to clear the first, and if the timer is under one minute when heading to the third extractor. Remain focused and clear the area of mercenaries. As long as players start the disable process before the timer hits zero, they will be able to delay the launch and complete the contr<br><br> <br>A twist on a classic mission from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War's Outbreak zombie mode where players had to defend two aether extractors from zombies, the tables are turned in Modern Warfare Zombies as players will be tasked with destroying three extractors in the redesigned Aether Extractors contract. Players will want to gear up to fight through ruthless enemy mercenaries, armed to the teeth and not willing to go down without a fight. Players will need to complete this contract as a mission objective for the fourth tier 3 mission in Operation Deadbolt , Sabot<br><br> <br>This nifty attachment actually doubles as a melee weapon , replacing the player's standard weapon-butt melee with a lethal slash. This allows players to gain an elimination with a single tap of the Melee Button in Multiplayer , along with increased melee damage in Warzo<br><br> <br>The tombstone's location will present itself to players at the start of the next deployment after dying with the perk active -- players can find a navigation indicator on the tac-map. Players will only have one SLG game Patch notes to reach the tombstone and acquire the lost goods, as the tombstone will disappear if not collected in the game immediately following the player's death with the perk. While players must reach the gravesite in the next following game if they wish to save any loot, they will have the full duration of that one deployment to access the grave site , so players do not need to rush straight to their tombstone after deployment, although it may be wise if large amounts of high tier loot were drop<br><br> <br>The most difficult of the zombie contracts, Defend Ground Station will have players download data from three seismic refractors and transmit the information back to Operation Deadbolt headquarters. Acquiring the data is pretty simple - interact with the seismic refractors to acquire the data. However, once players start sending the information from the radio transmitter, Terminus forces will drop in to attempt to destroy the radio sending the information and eliminate players. Players will have to hold out against enemy mercenaries for three minutes while shocktroopers, recon knife mercs, and shield wielding enemies assault the a<br><br> <br>If players have enough acquisitions or schematics at their disposal in the pre-game lobby, elect to take a brain rot or shatter blast ammo mod into the deployment zone. Shatter blast is useful when dealing with shocktroopers and armored grunts , with the blast radius capable of breaking the armor of multiple mercenaries at a time if they are in proximity. Brain rot is incredibly useful when dealing with mercenaries, as turning a zombie to aid in the fight against the Terminus forces can be the damage or distraction players need to easily eliminate all enemies . While there is no way for players to order a zombie to attack the mercenaries explicitly, when fighting the mercenaries defending the extractors, if a straggling zombie wanders over to attack players, if that zombie is turned he will charge the Terminus defense, giving players an opportunity to charge and flank the enemies and gain access to the extrac<br><br> <br>The JAK Slash Aftermarket is a free reward tied to Week 3 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5. To unlock it, players will need to complete any five of the seven available Week 3 Challenges across Multiplayer, Warzone , and Zombies. To view the challenges for Week 3, players can head over to the Launcher Menu, select Challenges, and then navigate to the Weekly <br><br> <br>As players will be mostly dealing with Mercenaries for this contract, it is highly recommended to have weapons that are effective at all ranges. Players will encounter recon mercenaries, snipers, and shocktroopers , so players will need to be able to quickly change their effective combat range. Versatile assault rifles like the M13B and the M4 and steadier SMGs like the Striker 9 excel in this regard, especially when players take advantage of Modern Warfare 3's tactical stance feature . Auto-shotguns can be helpful for dealing with the recon mercenaries who charge in close in an attempt to stab players - the Riveter , with attachments that improve range and accuracy, can be an effective all around tool as well. Pack-a-Punch is an absolute must if attempting this contract in a higher threat tier - while most mercenaries can be quickly dispatched with headshots, the heavier armored soldiers can be nearly invulnerable to weapons of low rarity and without Pack-A-Punch. Effectively dropping enemies in a timely manner is critical to successfully completing the Aether Extractors contr<br>
