Zombies is live in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but this year you'll be killing the undead in a large-scale extraction mode. This is way different than the traditional round-based mode you might be familiar with, so here we provide several tips to get you geared up and stay alive in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies.

MW3 Zombies is an extraction mode

First, it's important to understand that not only is this year's Zombies mode straying away from round-based gameplay, but it also doesn't work like the most recent objective-style modes you might've played in Black Ops Cold War or Vanguard.

MW3 Zombies is a high-risk trios mode in a PvE environment, where you can have the option to choose how you want to play, which includes looting for high-value items and gear and completing story based Operation Deadbolt missions.
