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
Note: Sniper Rifles are not included in this change.

After grabbing the Aether Extractors contract phone and downloading the intel, players should take a moment to drop any pursuing zombies or hounds before moving to the contract area. Players will have t hree minutes to fight through the three squads of mercenaries and disable the extractors before the onboard rockets launch and extract all the collected aether – so, while moving quickly is a priority, it is crucial to remove any threats that can sneak up on players when fighting the mercenaries. Move with a sense of urgency but be deliberate in clearing corners and ensuring all mercenaries are dealt with before attempting to disable an extractor. Use audio clues to help identify nearby soldiers and pinpoint their locat

Players will find one fortress in the medium-threat zone in the northwest quadrant of Urzikstan , Legacy’s Fortress. Heavily guarded by Terminus Outcomes forces, players will need to acquire a Fortress Keycard in order to gain access to the inner levels of the Fortress. Players will find these keycards in the safe opened while clearing a Mercenary Stronghold, and will be tasked with clearing the fortress in order to complete the Act 3 mission, Storm the Cas
If players have enough acquisitions or schematics at their disposal in the pre-FPS game Guide 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
Players will occasionally receive the activity completed banner although one or two Mercenaries are still alive nearby – stay vigilant and keep an ear out for enemies as they will regularly make exclamations that will give away their position. Once all Mercenaries are dealt with, players can collect all the loot dropped by the soldiers and open the available reward caches – there will always be one small mercenary cache, but players can often find large mercenary crates, with a higher chance of finding these crates in higher tier threat are
The JAK Cataclysm for the RPK slows down the weapon considerably, resulting in reduced mobility and a slower reload speed to boot. However, these drawbacks can be mitigated. With the equipment listed below, players will benefit from increased mobility through an extended Tactical Sprint duration and refresh time , as well as improved reload speeds . Additionally, faster weapon swap speeds and undetectability by enemy UAVs are also inclu
At its core, the JAK Cataclysm RPK is essentially a Sniper Rifle conversion that can be significantly enhanced with the right Perk Package.

Additionally, they include visual pulses that warn the player when they are spotted by another ene
