HVT Contract Missions

To delve deeper into the location, the HVT Contract Missions are possibly the easiest means to track down a Mimic. Players will be designated to locate and kill the creature and can refer to their tac-map for the same.

While it's always a shuffle between Manglers or Mimics, the chances of encountering the latter are much higher with this option.

Aether Nets and Infected Strongholds

Aether Nests and Infected Strongholds are your next best bet in locating these enemies. Though not a 100 percent guarantee, there is a fairly high chance of locating a Mimic in these locations.

All zombies have a critical hit spot, and for the Mimics, it is their mouth. Carefully and patiently, make sure to dump your magazine into the Mimic's mouth to ensure easy elimination on the field. This weak point, i.e., their mouths will be constantly glowing, giving you an ideal estimation of where to shoot.

Pack-a-Punch

A costly yet effective solution to take down these elite zombies is to Pack-a-Punch your weapon. A lack of firepower will needlessly stretch out encounters, and with this method, the boost in damage output will be significant enough to ensure that you can easily eliminate Mimics in the game.

Energy mines are a great alternative to using the Pack-a-Punch. They are a field upgrade available in Modern Warfare 3 and are unlocked by default with Player Level 1 in the game.

To make the best use of this tool, simply place it on the ground when encountering Mimics. Lure these enemies to your trap and simply detonate it.
