MW3 Horde Hunt event: Procedure to unlock Cursed Ammo reward for free

The Horde Hunt event introduces a featured zombie every week for three weeks, and you must collect the skulls by eliminating the featured zombies to complete the required goal to obtain exclusive rewards. In the third week, the special zombie, Mimic, was featured along with a new challenge.

The third-week challenge offers the Cursed Ammo reward, which is attainable by gathering 200 Mimic skulls. Players can complete this task by defeating Mimics in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, Warzone Resurgence maps (by activating Zombie Extraction contracts), or in the limited-time Hordepoint mode introduced during the Horde Hunt event.

Players need to remember that the Cursed Ammo reward doesn't come with any special abilities or effects. It's merely a cosmetic skin for the Field Upgrade Munition Box.
