Call Of Duty: MW3 Zombies – How To Unlock Season 2 Dark Aether Rifts And New Schematics
Season 2 Reloaded is live in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and the update adds the second main Easter egg quest for Zombies mode. This is another multi-step Easter egg that unlocks access to the Dark Aether via the rifts, and it allows you to earn this season’s powerful new schematics for the Mags of Holding, Blood Burner bike, and the V-R11 Wonder Weapon. Here we’ll guide you through completing it.
If you haven’t done Season 1’s main mission, Easter egg, or earned those schematic rewards, we have a full guide for completing the Act 4 “Bad Signal” story mission, and the Dark Aether Rifts and Season 1 schematics.
The setup
You need to complete the new Season 2 story mission called Countermeasures to start this Easter egg. This isn’t a particularly tough mission, and you’re given a generous 30-minute timer, but you’ll still want to make sure you’re properly geared up with decent perks and Pack-a-Punched weapons. Completing this will award you with a gold-rarity Drum item in the mission reward rift. Make sure to grab the Drum and complete the mission to extract with it.
