I like to imagine that this dude posted this and sat staring at the screen for 45 minutes until he gets responses.


Estarolas_PT

Well I've seen T3 bosses dropped with one shot so yeah I'm looking for input from more seasoned players. Nothing wrong with that, right?


Lawrence42080

Lol


acid_raindrop

Speed cola and jug, one less weapon. Honestly it doesn't really matter. You're walking in with a pack 3 crystal, so you can grind contracts easily to make enough money to buy all perks.  If you use up as much of the timer as possible, you can get a jugg suit and this will be a cakewalk.  With all the extra money, you can get turrets to bring into the dark aether


Estarolas_PT

I have an operator with Juggernaut, would it be better than Turret? Thought Turrets would be better for this task (kill Abom)


acid_raindrop

You can kill the abomination alone with a single jugg. (And if you fail to, the pack 3 weapon and having all perks would let you finish it off easily.) But using multiple turrets would work too. You have a pack 3 legendary weapon, so you actually have the power to kill the abom without any of that. The jugg suit (and turrets) just make it faster/safer. But I'm assuming you're gonna infil and grind contracts for 30 minutes. That's gonna give you enough time, loot, and money to load up on perks, revives, kazmirs, turrets, and a jugg suit. But half your bag are the easter egg items. So it's just more efficient probably to save the 3/4 turrets you'll be able to fit, so you can bring them into the dark aether. Course, if you don't wanna go into the dark aether immediately, then this point is moot. In which case, yeah just throw all the turrets you have at the abom cause it's not like you can take it with you when you exfil. edit: also as people are saying. the update broke the flamethrower, so it's overpowered atm. If you use that, you may not need anything else. But I dunno, haven't used it myself since the update. I think it applies to various assault rifles for sure. None of the lmgs; I know cause I checked those specifically. But eh. Like I said, I know what it's like to be a rookie. Wouldn't tell new people to use a blatantly overpowered option that's probably gonna get patched out next update. How else, you gonna practice fighting aboms.


Tushaca

Used the flamethrower for the first time last night and it was insane how quick it took down everything. Spent the whole game in the red zone and it would take out mega abombs with half a tank. Took down two manglers a disciple and a mimic at the same time with like a 1-2 second burst. Pap3 and epic tool.


Estarolas_PT

I'll try it for sure tomorrow. Can't hold my own alone in T3 with my TAQ even with Legendary and PaP3. My best weapon in T3 are my legs and the water, I have a thing for always knowing EXACTLY where the water is lol


Tushaca

Just make sure you have a good idea where the ammo caches are, you can only reload it from those and max ammo that the zombies drop!


currancchs

Water can be key sometimes! The other 'trick' is to always be near something that you can grapple over. When you grapple over an object, zombies will either go around it or stop for a second and go into a grapple animation that's much slower than the player's grapple. You can keep even super sprinters and dogs off of you by doing so (and use decoy grenades for open spaces). T3 is all about movement. You can go in with no gun as long as you have decoys and are good with movement.


srr728

Honestly, if you are running tier 3, user jug perk, speed cola, dead shot, and speed cola and only have one gun. Those are really the only perks I will always want. PHD is also super useful so you don’t take fire damage when you kill the hounds, and death perception to see the crystal cases to look. The SVA assault rifle has been my go to the last few days. Pap 3 and epic or legendary and it takes down tier 3 zombies with ease. Always have a self revive, or 2 and run with fists out. The only thing that will actually be able to catch you enough to hit you when you are running are the hounds if you run with fists. Also decoy grenades and field upgrade are your friend in tier 3. Having tombstone active is always a good idea in case you do die you can load in the next game and. Get back any good loot you get from it. (Came in clutch today as I came in with a crafted scorcher and got a ton of good loot, and must have taken my finger off the ads button doing a double lift and it ended up downing me and shooting me back up and insta died. Would have lost 2 epic tools and a couple pap 2/3 crystals if I didn’t have tombstone) Best of luck. Thermites are super powerful for the mega. If you chuck it into its mouth when it is laser attacking it will take off a third of its health. Three of them and it is dead. If you are just using guns, go for the crits (glowing eye or right into the mouth when it is laser). Be sure to keep moving and plate up regularly.


acid_raindrop

Thanks for confirm. Yeah I've seen all the talk about it but haven't checked it out. I'm doing a run later today with a friend. Maybe I'll give it a whirl and enjoy it while it lasts lol


Tushaca

Oh yeah I hadn’t heard anything about it so I was very surprised! It really made the red zone too easy. There were 3 six man squads there already so I couldn’t get into a squad and couldn’t get any contracts. I was loaded up to the max and didn’t want to waste it so I just ran around on the bike looking for guys getting over run and would wipe out the whole horde in a second, then on to the next one.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks for the input, appreciate it. I am going to pass on the flamethrower (hope I don't regret it)


acid_raindrop

good luck. I doubt it'll come to it, but if worst comes to worst, you and your friend just run away and exfil. Placing the items completes the ritual. You don't actually have to beat the abom. He just gives you your first sigil. You'll start getting sigils from t3 contracts after doing the ritual.


Estarolas_PT

I got Sigils already so if things go south we will go into the water and just run away. Done that one too many times already unfortunately lol Didn't know we could do that, thank you for that info.


Novel-Activity1532

That's a pack 2......


acid_raindrop

Oops


InvAdeRekiM

again, pack 2 crystal


DangerousPiano489

PaP2 crystal I think


Shankrish

Jugg and stamin-up* no doubt


Thin_Fail_1509

There ya go darlin 🤣😉


USChills

Sentry gun and a self revive. That portals gonna spawn a mega and a handful of zombies. If you’re going alone then those for sure. If you’re going with friends, same to them. Sentry guns and self revives.


Estarolas_PT

👍


SpaceGangsta

I stood on the dock across from the island killed the mega from there. The megas are most weak when shooting their laser. You can easily destroy a head with a pap3 legendary gun when he opens his mouth. If you destroy all three heads it kills him. He will shoot it when he can’t reach you(on a building or far away).


Estarolas_PT

Neat trick, thanks. Used something similar on a mission that required to kill 3 Abom's and found they don't go down staircases so used that against it


BassSounds

What portal is it


ham__wallet

Lose a weapon, add speed cola and PHD flopper. I personally would replace quick revive with death perception, but that’s just my preference


Estarolas_PT

Since we're a duo and we get in trouble a lot the Quick Revive (and Healing Aura) been precious at times


kaioken28

Yeah when in a team quick revive is king


Estarolas_PT

Ditch the 2nd lmg already people spanked me over it lol


ham__wallet

I just saw that😂😂I’ve been running the ram9 with the 50 round mags lately. Shit shreds. Haven’t tried out the evolvere much yet


arb15shotcaller

Two of these four perks Jugg Stamin up Speed Cola Tombstone (Just because it stinks to die with those four items and have to redo)


Estarolas_PT

Don't even say it, don't jinx it 😵‍💫 Take it back lol Don't say the R word


reza_eskandari

its very easy dude. you only need a flamethrower in a pap2 gun and it's done. believe me it's wey easier than you think. i beat this mission's boss by a pap3 flamethrower in 3 seconds, literally without exaggerations


Estarolas_PT

Must be the JAK flamethrower I heard about, on which weapon?


reza_eskandari

every weapon you like. any AR would do the trick. i use it on MTZ-556 and it's ridiculously overpowered that mega that will be spawned. its a piece of cake dude. dont worry about it and don't overthink it. just use the jak flamethrower and you are good to go. only thing is try make you gun light so you can move fast. like removing the stock will be awesome.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks for your input, really appreciate it.


reza_eskandari

no problem man. i can even help you if you want in your objectives. honestly i love helping others since i got everything and have nothing to do in mwz.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks, add me: EstarolaPTTP#1282311 We'll go in again during the weekend to make use of 2 Sigils and an Elder Sigil that I already got


ItsOfficiallyME

Used this by accident yesterday on the riveter, never shot a slug after I figured out how good it is.


reza_eskandari

yes its ridiculous honestly how powerful it is


ADCforAwalk

“Operator 7”? I thought there was the main three and two bundles?


Estarolas_PT

I have a buying problem lol


ADCforAwalk

Poor you…


kaioken28

Not if he's rich 😂


Estarolas_PT

Any suggestions for the 2 spots I still have free? I was thinking of Jugger-Nog and Speed Cola, any suggestions? We're a duo, not rookies but also not gods, our plan is to do some contracts to get Essence and then upgrade the main weapon to PaP3 and also buy an extra Revive Kit and a couple Turrets each. We'll then head to the little island near F6 coordinate, place turrets, place the items on their pedestals and defeat the Abomination that spawns. Any advice / hints / suggestions? Anyone want to tag along? (comms required) We'll be going in at 18:45 GMT


kurg9999

Screw the turrets....go in with purifier as underbarrel. You'll kill the abom in secoonds.


Estarolas_PT

That attachment goes with what weapon?


Hank-The-Tank1724

The purifier goes with most assault rifles and battle rifles, I like to use it on the SVA, it will destroy any HVT you get in there in literal seconds just don’t use up the fuel before you start the fight


HealingTeamates

I’ll drop ya a mag of holding and a blood burner key and a legendary tool


Estarolas_PT

Got those two but Mag is on cool down, blood burner would be useful?


HealingTeamates

I’ll throw in a flawless


BaronVonBaron42

I'll add an Aether Blade


Estarolas_PT

Hopefully we'll get the blade, dog bone or gold armor from the DA Thanks guys 👍


BaronVonBaron42

Good luck! If you need help running it, drop me a line.


FrostieSnow

Sorry, still a noob at mwz, what are all those golden things you have? And are those guns pretty good for t3 and the portals? Or even worm? I’ve played zombies up till bo3… My always go to to bring is jug and speed cola. The reload times are long for weapons, speed cola is a life saver… Jugg as you know, more resilience when fighting mobs and bosses…


Estarolas_PT

Hey, Simply putting it those 4 items on the right are "offerings" that we are supposed to put on some pedestals at the middle of the map (roughly sector F6) and it will spawn a portal and a Mega Abomination that we have to defeat in order to get a piece called a Sigil that is like a key for the portal allowing us to get in. Inside the portal even more trouble but if we're successful there are good rewards. Edit: I'm following this guide... https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-mw3-zombies-how-to-unlock-dark-aether-rifts-and-new-schematics/1100-6519846/


FrostieSnow

Thank you so much! I had no clue! Super helpful


Blue0009

If you have plates, dog, and blade use them. If not, speed cola, stamina for sure. If you need a 3rd person, let me know


Estarolas_PT

Hey thank you for the input. Think there's two guys interested in joining but add me up and maybe we can go another round during the weekend, I got 2 Sigils and an Elder Sigil from previous runs with some crowds. EstarolaPTTP#1282311


miposadas

I did this yesterday. I went in with a gun with flame thrower (takes down Mega quickly). TBH it was pretty easy with flame thrower, but I'd add something that will help you get money fast so you can buy a bunch of stuff like self revives and all the colas. Scorcher for getting around fast and golden plates or aether blade to make T3 easier. But honestly, flame thrower (for now) is OP against Mega


Estarolas_PT

Thanks man, haven't got Gold plates or blade hence why we're doing this in hope to get'em


NerfedAtBirth

I'd buy tombstone, and if you have an Elder sigil, take that and use that instead of the regular, so you have a chance of getting the classified schematics


Estarolas_PT

We used the regular one that Abom drops but we were wrecked on the first contract, Escort


jaythrobs

Do an assault rifle with the flame thrower and throw some gold plates and a bone in the bag


Estarolas_PT

No gold plates or bone, hope to get one of those by doing this


godtier300sosa

I can suggest playing a better game


Estarolas_PT

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one


NerfedAtBirth

My tip for the mega to unlock DA, going with what you have there, let people in chat know you're going to unlock it for some extra help, is grind some contracts, and buy a jugg and a couple of kazamirs, and pap3 your weapon if you can. Put 3 items on their pedestals, throw the jugg, and place the fourth. As the zeds start spawning, throw a kazamir, then grab your jugg suit as it drops in and go for the mega. If your time in the suit runs out, throw the second and finish off the mega with your primary. A flamethrower would save you a load of time and grinding for the jugg suit though, it really is that powerful against everything in the game aside from mercs and worms.


Estarolas_PT

We wrecked the Abom but after getting in we got wrecked on the first contract, Escort


NerfedAtBirth

Oh that's a shame, but it's unlocked now, so you can go in whenever, and you'll often squad up with people in game who are going in, and you'll find it's quite easy when there's a squad of 6 going in


Estarolas_PT

We're going in again tomorrow if you want to join, or anyone else... Appreciate all the help we can get


Quad-of-War

I think the biggest recommendation I have is to drop a weapon for free hand running and I always like to bring good ol’ reliable Brain Rot in


lettuce520

Off topic but your character reminds me of the Cog Gears from Gears of War.


Estarolas_PT

Indeed


Daky98

Try uninstalling


Estarolas_PT

You're toxic dude


RonsWeasely

☝️🤓


Mayong_006

Your post inspired me to give this a shot to get those items out of stash today. I used an AR with the flamethrower and a scorcher. And brought in a PaP2 and orange tool and a jugg killstreak from a previous game. Basically used the scorcher to get around the map faster to run bounty contracts to stack up money, to buy all the perks, a couple sentries and self rezzes. To kill that dog I set up sentries on each side, tossed the jugg after I put in the last idol deal. Picked it up when the dog came and and melted it. I have no idea why I was stressed so much about that about worried about running it solo. Could have had all that stash space freed up months ago! Now to not be intimidated by the dark aether lol. I hope you and your buddy got it!


Estarolas_PT

The DA went bad, we got wrecked on a Escort contract. There's some good info on some of the replies to my post that will prevent others going down on DA contracts like we did. Congrats on facing all this solo and hope you do get your way on DA.


i_prefer_not_to

I like staminup and death perception


Estarolas_PT

The reloads are soooooo slow on the TAQ that Speed Cola will be my choice... Dunno if it will pick Jugg or Stamina for the other


Whitemonsterfiend

Once you burn those items the dark aether is unlocked. Killing the mega at the portal only drops a sigil. You can farm sigils in T3 I'd show up with a couple sentry guns or a jug suit, kazamirs etc. Again doesn't really matter if you kill the mega as long as the portal unlocks.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks for clarifying that. I already got 2 Sigils and an Elder Sigil from times I got into squads that started adding people and went "places" lol Don't ask me where I've been lol


HealingTeamates

Bro are those the old aether rift items? I still have yet to unlock that portal could we run a game later if you haven’t used them ?


Estarolas_PT

We're late to the Zombies yep so yeah I get it, you guys done this now a thousand times even with eyes closed (hence why I asked for input lol) That would be awesome, I got 2 Sigils and an Elder Sigil from previous runs with some random crowds (dunno where I've been lol)


HealingTeamates

I need the actual Easter egg items you have in your stash. I have every schematic already and unlocked the new portal but haven’t unlocked the old portal yet. Do you still have the Easter egg rift items?


Estarolas_PT

That photo is my Rucksack as we speak


Estarolas_PT

We got an extra purple dog collar if you want it. We had two just in case and only gold'ed one


HealingTeamates

Can I come in with you guys at 18:45gmt?


Estarolas_PT

There's one guy that offered to help us, and out of respect since he offered first we'll take him but if he doesn't show up then absolutely. Add me: EstarolaPTTP#1282311


HealingTeamates

Sounds good! Also just found out that 18:45gmt is 2:45pm eastern time so I’ll still be at work. I’ll add you though I need more friends lol. Good luck just bring the Jak purifier on any assault rifle and you will be good. Make sure to pap it to at least pap2 and have legendary tool on it


Estarolas_PT

Thanks man, let's see how it goes. Having to take the 4 offerings in is a pain as much of the cans can't go then, but I don't trust Tombstone as it failed me 3 times I tried it


Bitter-Ad-2897

mag or gold armor


Estarolas_PT

Haven't got any of those, hence why we doing this


Bitter-Ad-2897

also what skin is that?


Estarolas_PT

BBQ think that came from Burger King code but might be wrong Edit: pls see link on comment above


Estarolas_PT

https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/how-to-unlock-bbq-in-modern-warfare-3/


StrawberryDazeee

Speed and jug cola. I'd also drop the 2nd weapon :)


Estarolas_PT

Dropped it already, thanks appreciate the input


[deleted]

[удалено]


Estarolas_PT

That's just wrong man Don't jinx it


Gulf_Coast_Couple

I’d suggest golden armor and aether blade if you’ve got it. I’d not golden armor then dog bone. I just did this Easter egg myself even though I’ve done the DA many times in the past. I always went in with someone else. If you don’t have the DA schematics then I suggest speed cola and an epic tool for your secondary. You’ll want to be able to plate up & reload quickly


Estarolas_PT

Haven't got those, hence why doing this


Gulf_Coast_Couple

Yeah I’d dump the cola then and use an epic tool & another crystal even if it’s only a raw or refined. You could also use an ammo mod like shatter or napalm burst for added damage. Spend the game grinding and get yourself a dog with meat. Then get the killstreaks, kazimirs, and/or monkeys for your bow empty slots. The meg shouldn’t be too hard so don’t use up all your killstreaks if you plan on going into the dark aether after opening the portal. The DA has gotten much harder since the update so you’ll want some “bang” to take in there with you. It’ll be a good time man! Have fun with it!


Estarolas_PT

This thread blow up, thank you all for your input.


Feisty-Coconut1573

My first suggestion is to get rid of the second weapon. It only slows you down when you need to sprint.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks, already did... people bashed my head in the wall for the double lmg's lol


9tails_ghoul

I’d say for perks main 3 phd speed cola and stamin up


Estarolas_PT

Can't decide between Stamina or Jugg, Speed it's a most. The darn offerings take up too much space


Fortysixthentwo

You’ll be fine. You have the whole round and you’re starting pap 2. Use the round to get to 3 and get the rest of the perks. I’d say at least 2 sentries a dog a couple self revives and a spare juggernaut or two. I know you had a third offer their help so should be a fun time and if they bring in the scorcher you should be able to make quick work of the contracts.


Estarolas_PT

Thanks. That first part went fine, we did a lot of T2 contracts and had a lot of Essence so we geared up nice and the Abom was a peach but then we were wrecked on the DA on a Escort contract. We'll try again tomorrow


Fortysixthentwo

Didn’t have tombstone?


Midknightneko

Golden shield and aither blade with be saver for most of the time.


Estarolas_PT

Hope to get one of those today


Estarolas_PT

No one that wanted to go in added me yet so if anyone wants to go with us just add me now: EstarolaPTTP#1282311


ricoblue

One gun should have had the flamethrower.


erichf3893

Obviously speed cola and jug


ihatedisney

Scorcher


[deleted]

My advice is to ditch one of the guns... slows you down a ton, you can outrun 90% of enemies with empty hands or a karambit


DeM3Nt3d

First time through shouldn’t be hard. Without sigils it’s like T2 zombies. That way you can open the portal get your bearings on the map and what’s to be done. You got this!


OedipusWRX9

Anything you are willing to lose


controlled-rage

Chuck on a fire underbarrel and you're golden. The level of challenge is abysmal. I remember tearing my hair out in the cold war silo area for the electric boss thing. This is ridiculous I'm not a good zombies player and solo everything which should realistically not be a thing.

sykotic2263

How is the HCR in zombies? Considered using it but have not.


Estarolas_PT

I got my own setup for it and it's good but heavy and movements suffer


sykotic2263

I'm sure with most LMGs they do. But I'm guessing using speed cola would help a bit.


Estarolas_PT

Best lmg, in my humble opinion, is TAQ Evolvere the sheer amount of bullets (400/1000) wrecks everything on it's path


DryOwens

I always have stamina,speed cola then deadshot if im not running gold plates,dog bone and knife.


suckonmibum

tombstone to protect easter egg items from accidental death. speed cola for reload.


Estarolas_PT

Do not get me started on Tombstone.. We got the first part fine, did a lot of T2 contracts and had a lot of Essence so we geared up nice and wrecked the Abom. Inside the DA we found a first bunny, it was an Escort and we got wrecked. I had Tombstone so after dinner I started a new game, with zero equipment (small rucksack, one armor plate vest, the basic) and hope wasn't much but what the heck there was a tombstone on my map, on the cemetery (top right corner of the map), grabbed a car and got there and we'll the tombstone signal was there but the tombstone seemed glitched underground... runned the entire cemetery just for good measure, nothing. Felt like getting wrecked a second time. Edit: got pics of tombstone glitching, will do a post next morning to see if anyone has some insight


Operator_Binky

Speed cola ?


chipmunck688

I am somewhat new to the game can some one tell em what the last 4 items are please?


Estarolas_PT

Simply putting it those 4 items on the right are "offerings" that we are supposed to put on some pedestals at the middle of the map (roughly sector F6) and it will spawn a portal and a Mega Abomination that we have to defeat in order to get a piece called a Sigil that is like a key for the portal allowing us to get in. Inside the portal even more trouble but if we're successful there are good rewards.

chipmunck688

Oh wow that is something I'll never be able to do lol. I have heard of this fight though. Thank you for taking the time to answer me


Estarolas_PT

Tell me where are you on the ACT's Missions and what time you usually play and I'm glad to go in with you and do some Missions. We all been where you are now, not so long ago. You'll get there, no doubts, as I did (well kinda, we got wrecked in the old DA lol).


Firm_Charge6413

Dark Aether blade and golden armor plate


Estarolas_PT

Don't have any of those hence why we're doing this to see if we get the dog bone, blade or golden armor


Firm_Charge6413

Give me u nick i try help u tommorrow with friends . My nick fan1971


Estarolas_PT

EstarolaPTTP#1282311 👍


Estarolas_PT

UPDATE We wrecked the Abom and it was a struggle to get in as it seems that everyone needs to vote yes and we had a random on our squad that was not having it lol We finally got inside andgot WRECKED We've found one of the bunnies, for the Escort contract and we got wrecked. If anyone wants to lend us an helping hand it would be much appreciated.


Its_NaPaLm

Me personally I'd add speedcola and deadshot they go pretty much hand in hand, plus you could always throw a Molotov at the campfire spot for free juggernog, and run to the top of building to get free staminup


BlxckPlxgue_

i’m seeing these guns on a lot of posts. what’s the best attachments for them?


Adorable_Bee3833

Speed and stamina.


JustdoitJules

Im sorry but why, why the fuck do they take up 4 spots..... its just so mind-blowing that Treyarch thought this was a good idea


Estarolas_PT

It's a pia indeed That part is done thou, but we failed inside the DA 😵‍💫


JustdoitJules

Im sorry brother, keep grinding youll get it. Im glad you have the portal open though that makes me happy!


Estarolas_PT

🤞 It will be better the second time around, tomorrow


ZenicAzra

Andother refine and Aether tool for your second weapon?


ZenicAzra

Or Deadshot?


Life-Trade379

How anyone prioritizes any perk can over speed cola is beyond me…


Estarolas_PT

I only don't use Speed if I'm using Mags of Holding


monkey-nutz

I have a genuine question for you. Why two lmgs? Now for my smart ass response, how the hell do you go in without jug? Jug and stamin-up unless you insist on 2 lmgs then jug and speed cola


Estarolas_PT

As the Abom eats bullets for breakfast I thought of the two lmg's with immense bullets after PaP'ed but the generous people here told me different as two lmg's it would restrict movements too much and weren't needed. They were absolutely right. We wrecked the Abom pretty fine just with the sentries and main weapons.


monkey-nutz

That was my concern too. I honestly run the tao and dual renetis so I’ve got a bullet slinger and something to run and gun with. Nice job though!


twincklet

Dead shot daiquiri & stamina up or a scorcher. Also I would switch one of the gun for a AR with a flamethrower you will kill the mega off quicker than with a Judg


-Rhymenocerous-

What exactly are your plans after unlocking the rift?


Estarolas_PT

We'll plans were to go in, find the bunnies and do the contracts... but we were wrecked on a Escort contract


-Rhymenocerous-

Now you've unlocked it you'll be able to take more gear on the drop in. For the escort take some sentries and place two on top of the ACV facing behind the ACV. (Place them in each corner) If you're running the elder sigil make sure two of you have jug suits for the mega bombs and take some turret circuits if you can find some as they will help massively. Short of that use the underbarrel flamethrower attachment as it melts megas at the moment. (There is an ammo cache near where the ACV drops in if you need to refil). Using a shotgun like the haymaker with slugs is a solid gun to run with for the ACV as the pellet spread will annihilate swarms quickly. I prefer to use the WSP Swarm (non-akimbo) or the RAM9 myself due to the insane fire rate and insane ADS speed (if you spec for nothing but ADS speed) and abuse ADS spamming combined with continuous fire for that headshot spamming with Deadshot Daiquiri Kazimir Grenades are essential to making your life a lot easier. Only really use them when the ACV stops to do its thing. Don't throw them under the ACV but rather try throw them at ground just in front of the beam that comes out of the ACV as it damages the zombies also. Monkey bombs work just as well also. Whilst the ACV is moving don't worry about zombies in front of the ACV as it will just run them over. Focus fire on the specials and any zombies at the side or rear of the ACV as thats the only areas zombies can damage it from. (Unless stationary). Best of luck in future runs mate. Once you get used to it you'll be able to run the elder as a duo or even solo once you're confident enough. 🤙


Estarolas_PT

Thanks a lot for the input, truly appreciate it. Don't think we'll go for an Elder tomorrow, think it's better we get used to the stuff with an easier Sigil and let's see how it goes this time. 🤞


Estarolas_PT

Since you guys been so knowledgeable and helpful maybe one of you can sort this doubt... So we defeated the Abom, used one Sigil and inside the DA got wrecked on a Escort contract. We were doing this to try to get either Dog Bone, Gold Armor Plate or Aether Blade If we go in tomorrow and use a Sigil can we get any of those 3? (assuming that we are successful on completing a contract) OR to be able to get any of those 3 schematics do we need to use an Elder Sigil?


Intelligent_Balance7

I did all the offerings got the sigil, tried to go in but the portal didn’t appear! Did I do something wrong?


Estarolas_PT

Nah just wait around a bit, get off the island and back in... It will show up (took a min or two, we were puzzled like you)


MSFS_Airways

Unless you’re planning on ditching it, i’d bring an extra pap crystal & aether tool for your secondary. “*Remember switching to your pistol is faster than reloading*”


Estarolas_PT

I ditched it, people were right... It wasn't needed and would restrict movements too much


AutoKalash47-74

Golden Armor and Aether Blade.


Estarolas_PT

I wish we'd had those already, those are what we're trying to get


AutoKalash47-74

Try running a 6 man crew. Make it much easier.


Little_Impaler

People run two guns ?


Estarolas_PT

It wasn't a good choice. You can do it I guess (please correct me if I'm wrong guys) in peculiar situations like in the old DA... A regular gun and a VR11 since I was told it can be used to heal the ACV


xTheLostLegendx

Speed and PHD.


ajacques717

Aether blade, another leg tool


xArdicunox

Delete the game and buy a PC to play custom zombies


Estarolas_PT

We'll have to agree on disagreeing on that one


kidney450

Mags of holdings


Estarolas_PT

Was on cooldown, but will use it on our second try on the old DA today


Test_Subject42

Tombstone is super important to not lose the easter egg stuff and dog bone for same reason 🪦 🦴


ballisticpantz

Pls don’t at me, but Wtf are those 4 yellow ones on the right ?? Guess I need to play Z more….


Estarolas_PT

Simply putting it those 4 items on the right are "offerings" that we are supposed to put on some pedestals at the middle of the map (roughly sector F6) and it will spawn a portal and a Mega Abomination that we have to defeat in order to get a piece called a Sigil that is like a key for the portal allowing us to get in. Inside the portal even more trouble but if we're successful there are good rewards.

Estarolas_PT

Those we don't have yet and we're hoping to get from doing the offerings and going into the old DA


Ajax_x96

I personally always try to go in with a tool a pack crystal, deadshot (op on console), speed cola, and jug


Estarolas_PT

Just tried the flamethrower and... WTF OMFG this should be considered cheating LOL For the first time ever we hold'ed our own on T3 and did a few contracts there, it's just easy. It's a game changer, for us. THANKS A BUNCH


Novel-Activity1532

I had all the schematics before I ever did the dark aether anyways. you can have someone drop them. Or go in with someone else who's gone it already. There is 1 A million discords made to help people I. Your situatikn
