How to unlock schematics in MW3 Zombies
The primary way to get Crafting Schematics in the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is by completing the contracts and opening their reward rifts. However, because Crafting Schematics have a low drop rate and the rewards vary, you may have to do multiple contracts to get one.
You can also open Mercenary Loot Caches or Aether Loot Caches scattered across the map to get schematics in the game. The best way to find them is by clearing Aether Nests and Infested Strongholds in the Exclusion Zone. First, get your team ready and go to the Aether Nest that is nearest to you to invade it.
Then, you have to get inside the nest and blast all the yellow spores that are on the walls and roofs. Once you clear the nest, open all the Aether loot caches and exifil with the schematic obtained.
It’s worth noting that Aether Nests release a dangerous green gas that will damage you unless you have a Gas Mask equipped.
